SOLDIERS KEEN
 FOR GOOD MUSIC

That American soldiers are as keen for good music as for ragtime is the opinion Of Dr. Walter Damrosch, leader of the New York Symphony Orchestra. which gave a concert re- gently at Quantico. where United States Marines are in camp.
 While there should be no attempt Q force on them a higher order of music or drama than they are able to 1'sest, on the other hand, have found Il my 33 years of work in American communities, that the instinct for good music is almost universal. and it is
 easy to accustom Young America, uniform or out, to really good mu. SC as to the cheaper forms of ragtime.
 The concert given at Quantico em- raced the composition of Verdi, Dvorak, Beethoven. and Berlioz. It was the second given by the New York symphony Orchestra to men in camp. he other having been given to $500 nen at Camp Upton. Arrangements CT taking this orchestra of 70 music. ians to Quantico were made by Miss Elizabeth Howry, chairman of the en- tertainment committee of the District of Columbia War Camp Community Service, under the Commission on Training Camp Activities.

 IL does seem that women have more than a fair share of the aches and pains that afhict humanity; they must keep up must attend to duties in spite of constantly aching backs, or headaehes, dizzy spells, bearing-down pains; they must stoop over, when to stoop means torture. The: must walk and bend and work with racking pains and many aches from kidney ills. Keeping the kidneys we'll has spared thousands of women much misery. Read what one woman says:
 Ms. M. L Davis, 296 Weidler> St., Portland, Gre, says: For years I had a great deal of trouble with my back and kidneys. Sharp pains would catch me and it seemed as if my back were giving out on me. My kidneys acted too frequently, causing much annoyance. Doan's Kidney Pills rid ne of the pains. My back got strong and well and my kidneys became nor. nal.

Many girls applied for work on farms, but what most of them were offered was work in the kitchen and farmhouse Girls who were unwilling to take up house work continued their efforts to be considered seriously as farm hands.
 Some of them solved the difficulty by forming units to go, with their own cook and housekeeper, into localities where they kneE there was a demand for their services.

MEN OF GERMAN
 BIRTH SERVING IN
 US. ARMY AND NAVY

WASHINGTON. D. C.. April 26- Officials here belonging to the army and navy are at variance on the question of sending officers of Ger. man and Austrian birth for overseas duty. While the navy makes no dis tinction whatever between native and enemy born officers. the army has adopted the policy of keeping all off cers Of German and Austrian birth on duty in the United States.
 This fact developed when the navy department began an informal inves- rigation of published statements at tributed to Mrs. \. N. Angermann of San Francisco that her brother, Lieut.. Com. G. w. Morley, commanding off, cer of the missing naval collier Cy- clops, was German born and had changed his name from Wichtmann 10 Morley when he entered the navy.
 The records of the navy department showed that Morley was carried on the rolls as 8 native of California. More complete records on file in the Norfolk naval district will be examin- ed to see if they throw further light on his antecendents.
 Refuse Plot Theories.
 Until the facts regarding the loss of the Cyc.ops are known, the navaal de- partment officials, discouraged all theories that the loss of the vessel might have been due to the act of of hcers or men aboard the collier.
 Secretary Daniels has refused to make any distinction between the na- tive and foreign born naval officers Officers of German and Austrian birth have been sent to duty with the fleet in European waters.
 Many Are Prominent Officers
 Included in the list Of Germans and Austrian born officers are:
 Rear Admiral Augustus F. Fechteler born in Prussia.
 Rear Admiral Francis W. F. Weber born in Germany.
 Capt. Emil Theiss, member Of the board on inspection and survey born in Germany.
