Y. M C. A. NO. IL

A very impressive celebration of the
Holy Communion was held at $50
o'clock Sunday morning at Y. NJ. No.
IL, in charge of Chaplain Griffin. In
the preaching service the chaplain re-
told the Easter. story, bringing it down
to the life of the individual of today.
Special mention should be made of
the decorations. Building General
Secretary Parker had gotten an. abun-
dance of beautiful flowers@carna-
lions. double tulips, Easter lilies and
ferns-from Kansas City, and Secre-
tary Williams with the help of three
or four volunteers, decorated the altar
and platform. A cross had been set
up in the middle of the stage; the
background was white, with ferns
fastened in a simple yet unique design
around the motto-"He Is Risen
in the center. Over all hung our coun-
try's flag. At the front center, the
communion table draped in white,
with the covered emblems added SOL
emnity to the already beautiful scene
Chaplain's Assistant Harvey led the
music, himself singing the Easter solo,
which the men fully appreciated.
Taking it all in all, it, was the most
wonderful Easter day we have ever
experienced, and great credit is to be
given to the Y. M. C. A. for organic
ing and carrying on such occasions.

341 F. A. BAND NOTES
Bits of Gossip Concerning This Well
known Band.

BY Z. j. WEBB.
The biggest day of the past week
was Wednesday, the day of the di-
visional review when the 341 Field
Artillery band enjoyed a good old hike
of seven or eight miles and spent the
day being inspected. We were weighed
in the balance and found wanting"
we wanted water more than anything
else. Some way we went half-cocked
anyhow, but not having canteens and
no liquids being served at mess. we
endured thirst that will be remem-
bered whenever we take another all
day trip. But for the much appfe-
ciated kindness of the boys in the sew
eral batteries and headquarters COM
pany,~ we would have endured more.
A very necessary part of bands
mems equipment-the haversac lS-
was issued to US recently. There were
not enough to go round but we are
informed that these will be along in a
few days. In the meantime we are to
get instructions on how to correctly
load them and later probably on how
to carry them. We are ready any old
time.
One of the married men got a spe-
cial days fatigue for not being care
full enough when coming in early one
morning, resulting in disturbing a
slumberer. Up to time of writing said
miscreant has only spoken in whisper
since.
Thursday we welcomed new
bunch of men at the west gate, COM
ing in from the detention camp to fill
up our regiment. They are a fine
bunch of fellows and were happy to
get worthwhile organization.
The BAL was part of the big massed
band to take part in the big Easter
program, both here and at Manhattan
Sunday. The programs were good
ones, and were put over in good shape
under the direction of Lieutenant
Kalina of the 342.
The band has to get out and fur
nish music for this and that and
sometimes instead of labor it's a real
pleasure. Such was the case in play
ing a welcome to Governor Gunther of
Colorado, whose pleasant manner and
CHEEKY words remain a wholesome
memory. The entire regiment turned
out at the auditorium last Tuesday.
He assured us the Colorado people are
behind us and we believe the governor
himself is profoundly interested in
his boys in camp and at the front.
Thursday when the eastbound pas
senger train pulled in it found the
| 341 band in formation at the depot,
playing a farewell to Colorado's gov
ernor, who had spent a couple of
days in camp meeting the Colorado
| boys and investigating conditions.
Governor Gunther'S ambition was to
meet and talk to every man from his
state, and he certainly didn't miss
anybody who had an equal desire to
meet him. He was especially proud
OF the All-Colorado BAL Field Artillery
band, under the direction of Sergt.

APRIL 6

April is a red letter day in the
calendar of the world. 1t is the an
niversary of the formal entrance of
the United States into the world war.
The entrance of this nation not only
guaranteed victory but marked an
epoch. For America had nothing to
gain She had much in money, in
material and in precious lives to lose.
These she was as certain to lose as
1t is certain that the Winter follows
the Fall. But if she had not offered
them on the altar of Liberty she would
have lost her self-respect Yet no
nation, so completely detached from
warfare, had ever been ready to pay
such price. Her people rallied in a
tremendous response that obliterated
the lines of North ard South and
merged the East and the West.
Americas first great gain through her
preferred sacrifice was her ability to
think nationally. One nation, indi-
visible, she took her rightful place at
tine head of the council of free peo-
pies.
&C.. The stream of men, the flower of
the nations manhood, soon began to
pour across the seas. Some became
