COMMUNITY MUSIC.

One of the greatest assets to any
community is a good supply of mu-
sia-bands, orchestras, choFuses,
ETC., that can be called into use on
any and all public occasions. Good
music is one of the greatest sources
of enjoyment accessible to the race.
It is appropriate to any occasion,
from the most hilarious to the most
solemn. 1t is never out of place in
any public gathering, whatever the
character. The church employs it as
powerful aid in religious fervor;
the political gathering is flat and
stale without it. Armies know and
appreciate its inspiring influence and
make full use of it. Homes that
would stand for all that a home
should be will not think of being
without music.
Every community, where enough
talent can be scraped together,
should make it one of its chief con-
Germs to see that a good band or
orchestra is organized and MAIN
TANNED. The maintenance of the
community band should be as much
community obligation as the main
tenance of its courts, its churches or
its schools
This country has as fine musical
talent as any country in the world.
Thousands of young Americans, if
given the opportunity of a musical
education, would become gifted mu-
sicians. Community attention to de-
veloping a love for music would soon
develop in these young people such
a desire for musical culture that

THOSE EXCESS" PROFITS.

If congress has a real desire to
euualize the burdens OF taxation that
are to pay for the war, that body
will be compelled to approach the
question in a different spirit from
that now manifest.
If there is one truth that stands
cut more plainly than any other in
this country, it is that capital and
capitalists have been more favored
than in any other country on the
globe.
The United States has more prince
" incomes than any other nation in
the world. The profits from her in
dustries are greater than those of
any other country. 1t is the ex-
pressed purpose to tax these incomes
and profits. AS to the former, they
are contributing probably their
snare. 1t is with the latter that we
have to deal.
To the thoughtful person it would
appear that congress should devise
just system of taxes on profits
not on excess" profits. The profits
on Big Business have been enormou:
for years, and there is really little
"excess" upon which to levy tax.
Take, merely as an example. tht

they would be stimulated to pursue
its study.
Many communities have already
seen the great value of public bands
and orchestras, and make provision
for their maintenance as regularly
as they do their other institutions.
There should not be town of any

Naturally there has been no intlma-

But that doesn't keep the Londoner

It is not too much to say that the
London citizen is expecting raids on

In his opinion. the bombing Of Ber-

recent Allied air raids He reads the
Official announcements Of the effect Of
these raids on the German people, and
cannot see any obstacle in the path Of
series Of raids on Berlin, save pos
sibly the actual practical difficulties
in making such a long flight and re
turning safely.
But he has confidence in the ability OF
the Allied air forces TO meet such dlf-
fcultles, and he wouldn't be surprised
to read Of the first raid any day. But
he would be happy
u is publicly known that one Allied
aviator has flown over Berlin during
the war, dropping pamphlets. There's
no doubt OF the ability Of avlators to
get over Berlin and drop bombs. But

DOYLE DEFENDS
BRITISH DEFEAT
Retreat from St. Quentin
a Great Military Feat,
He Says
WAS ONE OF WARS
HONORABLE EPISODES

BY Newspaper Enterprise Association
LONDON, Aug. 5.-Wrltlng in the Eve
ming Standard, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
who has developed from a novelist into
military critic. declares that the re-
treat off the British Fifth Army from
ST. Quentin when the Germans began
their great drive on March 2l was moi
a disaster, but one Of the most hon
orable episodes Of the war.
His article completely reverses the
generally accepted theory that the re-
tirement Of General Coughs forces was
dlsgraceful flight. General Goue@
has been suspended and Is now under
charges for being responsible for It,
but Doyle defends his course and calls
upon the war office TO publish a con-
nected narrative Of the battle and de-
strOy the legend that the British line
was broken In the great battle.
Russians Responsible.
1t is not true" says Sir Arthur,
"that the line was broken, save in the
sense that when a division or corps
is turned at the lanks some readjust-
ment is needed TO reform the line. The
miracle is that under the most eXacting
circumstances the line was never brok-
en-. and there was never a time when
the Germans saw open country before
them and could push on where they
would
History will ask who Is responsible
for the fact that the British line was
pushed back from St. Quentin to Al
bert In ten days It was not the sol
dlers. It was not the politicians. The
only people to blame are the idiots
and traitors Of Brest-LitOvsk, who, by
their detection, sent tidal wave OF
a million men rolling across Europe.
Where that wave struck II was bound
10 wash something away. II swept the
British line back for twenty miles or
more, but was never able to break 1t.
Retreat n Great Feat.
"When we get our true perspective,
he retreat from ST. Quentin will rank
With the retreat from Mons as one OF
.he remarkable military feats Of the
war.
"The evening of March 81 saw the
British Fifth army up in the air and
IN deadly peril from causes over which
t had absolutely no control. The eve
ming Of March 2s found the same arml.
worn and weary but reinforced and
lrm, strongly buttressed upon its sup
ports and presenting an unbroken front
TO the Germans.
when one knows these facts, and
when one reads references to the dis
aster OF st. Quentin or to the break
ing OF the Fifth army one feels that
a serious injustice is done to our sol
diers and TO our national reputation.
