MEADE BAND TO ADOPT
METHOD FRANCE USES
Camp Will Have Organization Which
Embraces Large Number of
Trumpeters and DrummeTs

Camp Meade is to have the hrSt
band organized along the lines of the
military bands of the French army,
which, in addition 10 the regular
musicians of the United States bands,
have ten or twelve trumpeters and ten
ow twelve drummers. This makes pos
sible a volume and Orchestration i'm
possible in bands composed of about
twenty-eight instead of thirty-fye or
forty musicians.
Col Howard LandeTs, who only re
Gently returned from France, where
he had an opportunity to study the
work of the French military musical
units, has organized such band in
his regiment, the 310th Field Artil-
lery, stationed at Camp Meade.
Col Landers has purchased private
" at cost of more than $500 the IN
struments needed to build his regi-
mental band up to the French orches-
tration. He is now devising a regi-
mental song book, which will contain
100 selections that are favorites with
the men and battery commanders.
The national airs of all the Allies will
be included
1t is likely that nearby cities will
have the opportunity to hear this band
very soon, for Col Landers says the
band can be sent to any city nearby
which is willing to pay the expenses
of the men. Army bands are not per
mitted to accept pay for engage
ments.
There is a movement on foot to i'm
prove the status of all bands in the
United States Army, and Mrs. Newton
d. Baker, wife of the Secretary Of
War, is understood to be taking much
interest in this movement. Mrs.
Bakers interest in the recreational
activities of the soldiers in camps
around Washington is well known,
and she takes every opportunity of
participating in their entertainments
by singing. and making arrangements
for entertainments by others

GLOOMY OUTLOOK
FOR FUFL NEXT YEAR
Dealers Estimate Winters Coal
Shortage For 1919 AS High
As 40 Per Cent
CARD SYSTEM is PROPOSED
Retailers Hold G arfield And His Aids
Responsible For Existing
Conditions.

1t seems practically certain that
Annapolis faces for next winter a
hard coal shortage quite as acute as
that which it has felt this winter
Dealers who supply the household
trade and members of the Federal
Fuel Administration share this view
in greater or less degree.
Members of the Fuel Administration
express the opinion that the 191S-19
shortage will amount to 10 per cent
of the consumption in a normal win
ter. Retail dealers say that this is a
far too low an estimate. Some of them
place the shortage as high as 40 per
cent.
In regard to the dealers, however
it is pointed out that they are natural
ly inclined at this time to be pessimis-
tic They are frankly dissatisfied, il
not disguised. with the United States
Fuel Administration. All of them are
saying that "if there had been less
Fuel Administration there would be
more coal" and they are now, through
the National Retail Coal Dealers As
ISOLATION, which held an important
meeting in Baltimore recently, trying
to bring about change in the Admin
istration's policy that will result in
giving men who know the coal bust
ness q part of the Fuel Administra-
ton, with particular regard to distri-
button during the spring and summer
of hard coal for household use next
winter
The local Fuel Administration has
not worked out any plan to supply An
napOlis homes with fuel during the
coal year beginning April l. L. A
Snead, whom DR.. Garfield has ap-
pointed to work out the household
coal problem in cooperation with the
State administrators, proposed, when
he was in Baltimore a short time
ago, some kind of coal card" sys-
tenn whereby the normal needs of
every household would be tabulated
through the Administrator Office.
Under this system a coal census OF
the city would be taken, and dealers
would deliver coal only on order from
the Fuel Administration. The idea Of
such a plan is to do away with the
condition which has existed this win
ter of some houses having more than
their share when there was not
enough coal to meet all needs even if
proportional distribution prevailed

an early completion.
The structure will be in the shape
