BAND DIRECTOR IN B|SBEE TO
 BEGIN DUTIES

I. w. McRae, new director of the American Legion band, arrived in Bisbee from Marysville, Calif., on Sunday Mir McRae expresses him. self as. agreeably surprised and very favorably impressed with the Warren district It was found that many of the band members had already made the acquaintance of the new director while at Camp Kearny, Calif., where MT. McRae directed a regimental band These old acquaintances are particularly glad to see him in charge of the local Legion band, as they know him to be a capable director, a musician of high 'endowments and a fine man.
 The band committee is highly gratified with the personality and capacity of the new director. He feels confident that, under dis direc- tion and leadership, the Legion band of the L. A. Engel post will rapidly be developed into one of the best bands in the southwest. Mir. McRae expressed the opinion that, with the excellent material and skilled per some lof the band, the expectations of the committee and the community in this regard soon will be realized.
 The first rehearsal of the band will take place on Tuesday night at the Y. M. c. A. band room at 7:90 o'clock. All musicians of the district who are Legion members and ex-service men are urged to come and bring their instruments. The only stipula- tion to entrance to this band is that the musicians be willing to play when called upon by the community without quibbling over receipts. The reason for this provision is that the Legion band is organized primarily for public services and public ser vice is always to be placed above private gain.
 The initial appearance of the band will be at the big Armistice day cele- bration on Nov II, when the boys will appear in \le uniforms laid away upon their discharge.

Pirates, busaneers and marine free

dispatched from MaZ;ltlan a naval ex-
pedition equipped for two months
service with the object of routing the
outlaws.
Travellers on the Pacific have told of
late of seeing numerous hands of these
pirates, who have preyed upon tramp
vessels when occasion afforded and at
other times engage in smuggling.
Their headquarters a-'e in the almost
inaccessible caves on lonely islands.
where, it is said, they have stored
much valuable booty. which at oppor-
tune moments they carry to the United
States or South American ports. Most
Of their plunder is obtained from
Mexico.
The Mexican government is deter
mined to rid its islands of the free
hooters, and its present expedition,
after driving out the pirates, will set
up military posts to guard against
their return.

made public today by the Russian
embassy.
After dwelling upon the danger
of the worlds peace and political

says only through assistance from
the allies in the re-esta blishment
Of order will il be possible for Rus

state financial liabilities and the
safety of foreign capital invested in
