 In the account of the parade of United States troops through London, a few weeks ago, there was mention of the fact that the greater part of the music for this parade was furnished 1 by the bands of two British regiments, the Coldstream and the Irish Guards i It is humiliating to think that our troops had to borrow music from an ally, when the United States has fof i many years been one of the great

Let Us however, 1 follow the example of our war-w worn 1 allies and remember that music is a intuition of war. Our soldiers should i have the morale which comes from the i stimulus ef good music on the day of l battle, and whatever comfort it may bring during weary and homesick 1 hours, The material is at hand; let us urge the Government to increase
 appropriations for the bands.

WHERE EASTERN FORCES GAN
 HELP,

Indications point to the fact that it Is not likely to be long before some move is made which will see Japan taking a larger part in the war. and that there will be coneerted action from the east in which all the allied nations will he involved for the siv- ing of greater protection to Russia and establishing new front for Ger many to defend,
 When, where and how this move will develop is still unknown. It is possible that no actual decision has been made in regard to it but in- creased thought is being given 10 1t and it cannot fail to be recognized that the quicker it can be definitely determined and steps taken the great CT will be the results and the quicker will change be brought about in the existing situation.
 It is to be expected that Japan and China, because of their geogra pfical location, will furnish the bulk ot such an army, The complicated con ditions in Russia have furnished the reasons for deferred action, The cal has been for the sending of an army of intervention through Siberia. This has been opposed because of the feal of resentment by certain Russian fac tions and the desire to avoid the sim ilarity of German methods, but it must be evident that it is still pos sible to employ large force Of Jap anese or Chinese in giving assistance to the British army which has moved up the Tigris. By striking in that di- rection the Turks could be made ever more helpless than they are and by

WHERE HER LINES WERE CAST

You think you won't be lonely?" questioned Hilbert, who was about to depart on his annual fishing trip, leav- his suburban home to solitude and his wife. All this occurred in the autumn while the big woods were enticing.
 fNever less alone than when alone" quoted Mrs. Hilbert, you know how love to tinker myself with soli- and my head :n solitude, to-"
 "Oh, yes" hastily interrupted Ffl- bert. q know that you are strong on questions about solitude. but it's an- other thing to be shut up in lonely house in these suburban woods without even dog to keep you company. The nights will be long and dark"
 You know what Emerson said to his children when they showed fear in the dark: You will never see anything worse than yourselves. my children"
 "Oh, brother Emerson" said Hilbert, as he carefully folded the dingy rain coat that was to be strapped to the suitcase. T would fish with a great deal more comfort if 1 knew that you had some one with you,''
 T shall be casting my lines in the quiet waters of meditation
 
 land your fish. And of course, I know that the Penfelds next door, will keep an eye on you and give you a bed in case you happen to find the night toe dreary."
 "No danger of that" declared Mrs Hilbert, as she put away the few things that her husband had rejected from his fishing outfit T shall spend my evenings before the grate fire, with my books, and shall say with Words worth:
 q am not one who much or oft de- light
 To season my hreside with persona talk
 Better than such discourse doth sill ence long

 To sit without emotion, hope or aim In the loved presence of my cottage fire
 And listen to the Tapping of tho flame.

 Yes, I knew exactly what you would say; it's the same every year, so 1 thought I'd save you the trouble of writing though of course, l left blank space for you to fill up with the number of fish you eaght. though that was a mere form, because l think l could make pretty good guess about each days catch"
 Well, you are real sport" deelar ed Hilbert. giving final tug to a strap. And perhaps you have written your own postals to me and can hand them over now and save the postage. Ry-byl Don't forget to call upon the Pentields if you get lonely"
 Lonely" echoed Mrs. Hilbert with scorn in her voice as she followed him to the gate, and she repeated the word to herself with less emphasis and much less scorn when she returned to the house in the suburban woods.
 She kept busy all the morning and was out all the afternoon and it was o'clock when she sat down before the fire and proceeded to cast her lines in the waters of meditation. But somehow the fish would not come to her net, but what did come were the
 
 staircase and queer noises on the roof. Did burglars ever come in by the way of the roof? And could one always tell the difference between the foot. fall of a burglar and that of Sauir- lrel?
 The first day passed and it was the evening of the second day. By this time the face of the nilkman was something to be longed for; the veice of the iceman sounded warm and sweet and the grocer's boy wondered why his conversational powers were put to such a strain.
 The evening of the third day arrived and still the stairs creaked and the acerns dropped. and still the water ot ! meditation grew more shallow and muddy

Views of the Vigilantes
MUSIC AND MORALE
By Norreys Jephson O'Coner
 of The Vigilantes


 of The Vigilantes
 There is nothing like good band and we have a crackerjack, to restore our spirits and freshen exhausted bodies' So wrote a young lieutenant of the American Expeditionary Force, with n soldiers appreciation of the intimate relation between the spirit and the matrial needs of the body. Gen eral Pershing himself has spoken of the necessity for good regimensal bands as aids to the morale of our troops at the front, and the famous French priest, Chanoine Cabanel. has described the wonderful power of music in curing men who have suffered shell-shock With these patients both severity and gentleness were tried in vain only music was able to bring re- lief. Such renowned fighters as the Scotch have made a practice of going into action with their pipers to play them on. Yet our War Department has as yet made no provision to increase the size of regimental bands in pro- portion to the increased size of regi- ments, nor to provide skilled band leaders Music is a direct aid to. vic- tory, and good music is really mtl = milton of war.

When it comes to keeping the ap- pearance of city streets what it should be it cannot fail to be recognized that much responsibility rests upon the shoulders of the individuals. The lit ter which accumu1ates in them daily is thrown there. not as the result of the use of the street in the conduct of business. but by the deliberate act of those who pass.
 II for instance an individual has a newspaper for which he has no future use, a paper bag from which the con . tents are gone, an empty tobacco can or bag, a wrapper from a purchase made in some store which has been opened on the way. a cigarette con- tainer, a pasteboard box which has served its purpose and is. no longer desired, an old letter or envelope. it has become habit. to throw them into the gutter. One piece of such ma terial does not make a very big show ing but when everyone so inclined re- sorts to such a practice it can be ap- preciated that the daily accumulation IS considerable. and the result is that the streets of city are quickly sTewn with a most unattractive ar ray of rubbish which detracts from what would otherwise be the good ep- pearance of the business streets.
 The contrast between the clean pavements which are presented in the morning and the same ones at night fall is marked. and the worst of 1t is that there is no excuse for it, and il would not exist if those who are re- sponsible for it would do their part tc aid ill keeping them clean. It would require but little individual effort te change this whole matter
