AMERICAN MILITARY BANDS

Knarl Muck and few other German
musicians in this country, there are a
great number of orchestral artists Of
German extraction who have long
been American citizens and have
shown themselves steadfastly loyal
One of the most pleasing examples
of this kind of patriot is afforded by
DR.. Walter Damrosch, Of the New
York Symphony Orchestra. Last
spring Damrosch went to France TO
yield his services as a musician TO
the American Expeditionary Forces.
After seeing what he could do, Cen
eral Pershing has appointed him ID
the dignifed post Of GeneralBand.
Marshal, to reorganize the American
military bands and place them on a
par with the French bands, whose
high standard Of excellence is known.
Although Damrosch was born in
Germany, he has been the most Wig.
gorous of pro.Americans ever since
we entered the war. Time and again
he has declared himself in unmistak-
able language and has urged Ger
man-Americans not to permit a false
sentimentality to divert them from
their proper allegiance, which is to

A ,sEiATED ADMISSION.

In closing the debate with Senator
Sherman, Republican, who spoke in
opposition to President Wilson's trip
abroad, Senator Williams, Democrat
one day last week, caused his Demo
cratic colleagues to sit up sharply in
their seats when he declared the r
suits of the last elections indicated
that the American people believed
Republicans had been truer to the
war and that they trusted that party
to follow the President more than
they did the Democrats.
Some of you over there think you
beat the President" he said, address
ing the minority side. you did not
beat the President. The American
people beat the Democratic party be
cause your party, on a percentage ba'
sis, has been truer to the war than
we have and by we, mean the Demo,
cratic party. have come to the
conclusion that some of the people
put you in office because they believ
ed that you could be trusted to follow
the President more than We could.

A large English hotel syndicate has
prohibited the employment of Ger

its various hostelries. The North

campaign to keep the Germans in

Dor because ii lives so Cheaply and in
accordance with standards which are
below those of our own working peo-
pie. We wish to keep up our own
high levels of life and not to force
our people to compete with those OF
lower economic standards.
If this is wise when considered
purely from the economic point OF
view, why not from others? Why
should Americans, with their own SO
cial and political ideals, be obliged tc
live side by side with newcomers who
have no such deals? If the one kline

SAVE SUGAR.

willett & Gray, OF New York, esti-
mate the world cane sugar crop for
1853 will be less by 133,5S9 tons
than that crop for 1917-1s. while the
beet sugar production shows an est
mated falling off for the coming
year, compared with 1918 of 16l,-
2r2 tons, or total yield for 1888
Of 16,S19, ,635 tons as against 17,114,-
$50 tons last year-a decrease of 294,-
ISL tons. In summing up the food
situation, just before he left for the
European Food Conference, Hel cert
Hoover said, with regard TO sugar,
that there will be a sufficient supply
this coming year for our normal con-
sumption if other nations retain their
present short rations, but shortage
for us if they increase their rations.
That statement was made before the
Willett & Gray estimate was pub,
lished. So just keep clamp on that
sweet tooth for a year or so longer. If
you insist on cloying yourself with
sweets. some one will have to go
without sugar, not because of lack OF
money to buy but because of lack oil
supply.

TWO YEARS MORE OF THE FLU
Doctors Say Disease Is Likely To Be
Recurrent in More Virulent
Form.

Chicago, Dec. 9.-Plans for combat
ing another influenza epidemic which
is expected to sweep the country in
1919 will be considered by health au-
thorities from all parts of the United
States, Canada and South America at
the forty-sixth annual convention of
the American Public Health associa-
tfon which opened here today.
Members of the association say
that all the influenza epidemics since
1929 have been recurrent for from
two to three years after the initial
outbreak. For this reason leading
authorities feel convinced that the
visitation of 1918 will be repeated in
1919 and probably in 1920. Also it
is pointed out that in previous epi,
denies the second and third outbreaks
have been more virulent and attended
by a higher mortality rate than were
the initial manifestations.

sources of typhoid fever, and, even
more. to give the country districts the
advantage of modern hospitals. nurs-

Noting that many agencies, some of
them private enterprises with large
funds. are working for Improvement,

Of Agriculture. through its home dem

aid, and the public health service is
increasingly extending its functions.
To what extent the further projec-
tion of effort is a matter for state or
local action remains TO be determ-

clear that there should be no cessa-
