ALL TOGETHER, NOW!

"Thc singing soldier is the fighting sol dicr." say the authorities in charge of the training of our armies. Singing under the most capable instructors available is a part .of the soldiers regular training Efforts are constantly being made to give the soldier every opportunity to sing In every can tonmcut the Y. M C. A, is giving intensive lessons in group singing, which is the most inspiring and impressive kind of singing. And the effects of the lessons hold, for all along the way to the front the boys are sing ing Everyone knows that they are fight ing as mo soldiers ever fought before
 Why doesn't the same thing apply to the folks at home! Why aren't there oppor- umitics for the singing of our pauionc songs here Everyone, even the most m- musical can sing our well known songs in some key, and everybody should. The move mcut that is on foot to establish a Liberty Chorus is one that merits the unqualified support of all the community It will do more to cement the people together into one undivided whole, devoted to the sup port of our country in every way, than any number of fom-miuutc speeches or other movements, no matter how eloquent they may be.
 Music sort of gets under the skin when everyone is there taking part and singing with an their might There is am inspiration about it that is not to be obtained from any d,ing else. All over the country there are Opportunities being created for the "com- mmity sings. as they are called If sing ing plays such a great part in the lives of our soldiers who are facing the realities of life as they never have before why should Int it be brought into the lives of those at home to help them face the realities to help them gain vision of the things that really count. in this time when the whole world iS m a state of uphcaval!
 Through much bloodShcd and strife and great sorrow the world is advancing to- war dthc brotherhood of man in fact as we'll as in name. This feeling is most prom .mnt among the soldiers. As they face the elemental facts of life they are inspired by the highest feeling of brotherly love. And they sing. sing with their whole souls not always on the key, perhaps, but with a spirit that makes up for any discrepancies in that direction They express some of these feelings in their singing. The spirit of brotherhood stands forth strongest when the doughboys are singing, whether it is in the Y. M c. A. Hut or whether it is on the road to the front
 There is no agency which is available to all that would help the people at home to take their places in the march of the world toward the brotherhood of men as much as the community sing" There is no other means that will be as effective. We are rcioiced to see am effort being made in this direction. and in view of the fact that it is benig taken up by the council of de- fense we are sure that it will receive the hearty support and cooperation that it de- serves.

There was time when AlaskauS respected the property rights of others but it seems that those days are over. It seems to give pleas mc to some people to wntonly destroy property.

Mr. and Mrs. William H Mchtnatry
Of sos River street received q message
this morning from the War Depart
ment at Washington informing them
that their son. Lieut.. John NcKfnstry,
Was killed In action on the battle line
In France ON September II. The Of
fetal announcement was brief and
was confined to the simple statement
Of his death and an expression of re
gret at Its occurrence.
Lient- AcKinstry would have been
- years of age on October IL. and was
the eldest son of his parents. He was
born at Neosha Rapids. Kan, and was
q graduate of the Canon City high
school. When the first call was made
by the government for troops to 90
into training preparatory to being sent
across the seas IN behalf OF the hber-
ties OF humanity. Lieut. NcKinstry
was student at The State Agricul-
tural College 1t Fort Collins. He at
once volunteered for military service
and was in the FIRST contingent from
Colorado to go 10 Camp Funston to
prepare himself for the duties he had
SO voluntarily assumed. His previous
army drill in high school and college
resulted in his being recommended for
the frst Officers training school at
Fort Riley. from which he was gradu.
ated on August IL. 1914. with the rank
OF second lieutenant.
He left Camp Funston for overseas
service on May rs. this year in com
pany with large military contingent.
and was landed at British port. The
family here received their frst letter
from him from England after arriving
On European soil. II was dated June
IL. and reached It's destination In due
time, and was confined largely to Incl
dents OF the trip across the Atlantic.
He wrote to his parents frequently and
at regular Intervals. The last letters
received from him were dated Septem.
Der and 5. and were of that cheerful.
optimistic spirit that characterized all
of his messages since going Into the
army.
Lieut. McKinstry did not remain
long in England before being ordered
TO France. and for the last few months
be had taken gallant part in some
OF the most sanguinary lighting on the
Western front. One Of the last letters
received BY his parents from hin,
chronicied his promotion frum SEQ
ond 10 frst lieutenancy for bravery
in action. At tho time Of his death
he was first lieutenant Of Company L.
