Well, that's where a German bayo-

Red Cross Urged Not
to Relax Efforts

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Relaxa-
ton of effort by American Red Cross
chapters should not be permitted "un-
til peace is really here" said mes
sage sent today by the War Council to
each of the 1857 local organizations.
But even with peace" said the mes
sage, ''let no one suppose that the
work of the Red Cross is finished.
Millions of American boys are still I'M
der arms. Thousands of them are sick
and wounded, while owing to the
shortage in shipping it may take a
year or more to bring our boys home
from France.
1.-THE cessation of war will reveal
picture of misery such as the world
has never seen before, especially in
many countries which cannot help
themselves. The American people will
expect the Red Cross to continue to
act as their agent in repairing broken
spirits and broken bodies.

show that not the rear of cannon or
the blood of our own alone direct
our activities, but that a great people
will continue to respond greatly and

mean music of the people, for the peo

helps one who cares for music at all
to pour out his joys or sorrows in
song; and more at this time than ever
before are the feelings of the people
in common. People are seeking com
partnership and means Of getting to-

For this reason the Lierty choruses
are being organized in every commu.
nifty and city in this country-and for
the first time the art of music has
gained the official recognition of the
United States government.
The details of the plan are being
operated by the Council of National
Defense. The underlying purpose is
to stimulate patriotism and acquaint
every person with the patriotic songs
of the United States and Allies. 1t
is hoped by this method to build up
and maintain a civilian win the war
spirit.
1t has been true that singing has
helped the soldiers in their struggles
and that a singing army cannot be

Let the Nations Sing" May this
be our slogan for the present crisis
and for all time to come. 1t is true
that we are not responsible for our
whole nation, but we are very much
responsible for small part Of it
"our community" 1t comes to us
daily that music Is the vital need Of
the nation at this time and We are
given this opportunity to add our hum
BILE share to be of assistance to our
government. Surely we should give
as much of ourselves as is physically
possible in order to show our appre-
citation for the privilege. Probably
few realized the value Of music until
the present war and now it Is actually
computed in dollars and cents. 1t Is
no longer considered luxury or a
diversion, but an absolute necessity.
In order to meet this necessity many
organizations are being formed.
Probably the first to be considered
is that which provides music for the
soldiers in the camps, trenches, hos
pitfalls. 1t Is surprising to know how
we'll this has been worked out in so
short time. and the roll OF musicians
who have done their share in tighten
ing the burden and inspiring the lives
of the soldiers is a long and honorable
one. Every regiment over there" has
q divisional band, and there are hun
dreds of monographs and pianos in
constant use in the improvised Y. Nj.
G. AS and hospitals. The nurses and
doctors assert that music is doing as
much and often more than the medi-
cine that they administer. This is
To-, FL, m n
ing department established in all hos
pitfalls, devoted to soldiers suffering
from shell shock. The men frequently
come back to the hospitals with their
minds perfect blanks, and although
there are a number OF methods used
to bring back reason music has been
pronounced the most successful. One
captain said that it is practically an
established rule that twenty-four
hours before a contemplated attack. a
great concert is held for the partici-
PANTS Mic seems to be the thing
most needed and desired by the SOL
dters. Both abroad and in this coun-
try they like to sing and play it and
where the soldiers are still in camp
they have the habit of coming togeth-
er at certain hours each day to sing
familiar songs The singing OF these
songs fill a mans soul with memo
rjes OF home and the things dearest
TO him, which cannot help but put
definite purpose in this thoughts and a
high resolve In his heart. A number
OF concert parties have been formed
at the front, and soldiers have been
known to come straight from the
trenches to these miniature concerts.
Surely it is remarkable thing to
realize that the power OF music, in the
midst of war, means more to men |
than physical comforts. |
