Bring Out Your Stacker Records!

TT HAS remained for the War of Wars
to recognize for the first time that
e need on the part of the fighting man
of what has come TO be known in
military psychology the "Fourth Essen
tial," as the morale has been designated.
OF this morale and its essence the Amer
lean public will hear much during the forth
coming celebration Of 'Slacker Records
Week. which the National Phonograph
Records Recruiting Corps rs making
elaborate plans for observing in every state
OF the Union during the week of October 26
to November q Throughout these seven
days local committees in more than five
hundred cities and towns will make an effort
to draft out of the homes of the country
million records with proportionate number
of Photographs and needles, the net results
of the drive" to be distributed among the
hundreds of places here and overseas where
our in uniform are actually suffering
for the need of some music where none is
now to be had, or for more or better music
where there is at present only an made
quate supply.
For music, the military authorities say, is
at the very foundation Of morale. Without
keep happy and contented large bodies of
men in strange lands, far from home and
friends. And if these men are not kept
reasonably happy and contented their ef-
fcency fighters is impaired
1t was to supply this need Of the men at
the front that Mr.. Vivian Burnett recently
organized the Photograph Records Recruit
ing Corps, with headquarters at 21 East
Forticth Street. this city. For when one
speaks of music for fighting men it is
forcgone conclusion that photograph music
is meant, since that is the only practicable
form in which the commodity can be sup
piled in large quantities to prodigously
large numbers Of men, scattered as they are
in widely separated points than
half the world.
Mr.. Burnett's idea was such happy one
that Immediately it was made public men
New-York tribune., 1918-10-20

Appropriately enough, it is from the Sal
vation Army that the use of the phonograph
right under the big guns is reported by
Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Stanyan, who
writes:
"Commandant Hughes Of the Salvation
Army was in dugout playing phonograph
to six men comprising a gun crew. when the
artillery open up and the signal came to
she'll the German lines. AS the men rushed
out they shouted to Commandant Hughes to
bring along the machine, which Hughes did.
While the six men served, pointed and fred
The gun Hughes ground out popular airs
for them with his phonograph perched on a
blasted tree stump, and the men actually
paused between shots to strain their
for bit of the music
Records are short-lived. Owing to the tre-
mendous wear and tear to which they sub
ected through continuous usage they wear
out. SO, too, with the monographs them
selves, and the needles. 1t is necessary to
keep an endless supply of them moving to
the front, and, as General Bell says, the
responsibility for that supply rests with the
civilian forces at home. Any kind of records
are welcome. If they in good condition,
or brand new, so much the better, but thai
consideration need not deter the patriotic
owner of talking machine from sending in
his supply of superannuated stock. Nor
need the fact that he may own enemy
alien war song like "Die Wacht am Rhein"
make him hesitate to send that along with
more patriotic disks. Indeed one of the
organizations most interesting departments
is its "Scavenger Divisicr.' the members of
which are delegated to the task Of getting
all such pro-German records out of general
circulation and smashing them for the bcnc-
fit Of the corps junk fund Fer in the opn-

"Lieutenant! That is very fine Then
he has a salary. He will not abandon
his poor old father"
"Miserable creature" cried Nine. Des-

II? You don't seem to know me very
well!'

tall and handsome, was walking hurried

Nine. Desbuis uttered cry Of horror
She tried to detain her husband, sobbing:

trembled no longer, since she knew now
the nature of the peril which she faced.
