and said, Mr.. Chairman. | hope this
Money Bill will meet with the approval OF
Members of the Council, ard as 1t is for a
good cause [ hope members will be will
ing to pass it today.
4th Appointed Member LBt0ckaOoodJ
remarked: Mr.. Chairman. 1t gives me
pleasure to recommend this bill 10 the
favorable consideration of the Council.
A great deal of native talent has been
exhibited in this island and should be APP
preciated. To me it is wonderful that
a population as small as ours could pro-
duce musical talent enough to man three
or four bands. | recommend fho Money
Bill to the favorable consideration OF the
Council.
The Secretary [Conegotal again read
The letter received from The Industrial
Brass Band.
End member for Christiansted Town
[Canegotal remarked: Mr.. Chairman;
AS far as understand the Industrial
Brass Band was in receipt OF an allow
ance of ten dollars per month which was
given Ex-Governor Helweg Larsen, but
that aa5 been stopped. | think under
present circumstances the best plan to
adopt is to adopt the Additional Money
Bill which is before US today and then
ask Government for ten dollars monthly
fer the Industrial Brass Band. | think
this rrangamenc will meet with the
approval Of the band.
The Chairman remarked: The Centu-
ry Brass Band Of Frederiksted and the
Native Brass Band Of Christiansted have
been specified in the bill and there could
be no help given the Industrial Brass
Band under this Dill if it is passed.
No one requested the word further,
the Chairman closed LIST Discussion.
With Government and the Councils
consent End Disc lssion was opened.
1st. Member TOR Christiansted Town
(AbrGms0n) would like to know if un,
der End Discussion an amendment to the
bill can he brought in so as to include
the Industrial Brass Band?
The Chairman answered yes, but the
amendment must be forwarded in writ,
ing.
It was then proposed by End. Member
for Christiansted Town (C0negdta) and
carried that a recess of 5 minutes be
taken to consider the amendment.
The Council reassembled after a recess
of five minutes and the Chairman laid
before members an amendment to the

TO MOTHER.

By PRIVATE JOHN A. sCINTO. BIAS Canteen.
One day an infant were you ALL
A mother you had, but couldn't recall;
You couldn't talk, but surely did cry,
And rot what you wanted-that's no lie.
Mother was nurse servant, washlady and all,
And played with you like girl with a doll;
Always she'd have you near her breast,
That place, to you, like q loving birds nest.
Twas her delight when your teeth came. one
by one,
And your smiles filed her heart with fun;
She waited anxiousiy for the day you'd walk
Then her wishes came truce you were, per-
At school with other boys you'd love to mix,
Love for sports you had, which was only play
1t kept you late and made her worry each day.
You knew who and what she then was to you;
If you took sick she'd grieve and be blue;
She'd sit up awake till you were well and
glad,
At last she reared you to be a man.
Then you marrfed-or viii be-if you can.
Whichever 1t be you're still her loved one
VIII always be, even when her work IL done.
You know her love for you is very great.
Be decent and right. or her heart will break.
Righf or wrong, you're right as long as she'll
live;
II wrong. her heart may break. but she'll for
give.
Sweet kisses, hugs and love she'll always
II you leave her, or die, she'll hate to live;
So live a good life. for a mothers love,
That she may meet you in Gods heaven above.

SOLDIERS ARE IN FAVOR
Of LEAGUE OF NATIONS

A very interesting open forum was
held in G Hut Monday evening. March
10. The subject under discussion was
THE League Of Nations: Is 1t for the
Best interests Of American"
The many who participated gave
evidence Of thought and study and q
group Of interested auditors testified
to the Importance Of the theme and
the excellence of its treatment by
marked attention and applause.
Corps. III. Y. Clark for the affirma-
tive and Amos J. Krebs for the mega
tive, from the camp personnel once,
led in the discussion.
Secretary l. w. Street of G Hut pre-
sided. and tactfully held the speak
ers to time. and the speeches. from
waxing too vehement.
At the close of the forum vote
was taken and the result was in favor
of the Affirmative. 1t seemed to indt-
cate a general agreement on this
point, l. e., that a league of nations
was of vital necessity to the world.
and that the one championed by Pres
ident Wilson was the nearest approx
imation to the ideal that has yet been
proposed
The Monday open forums are to
continue.
There was some question as to the
subject for the next one. Many wish
ed the Irish question discussed, but
latent possibilities of flying fur devel-
oped and safer one substituted;
namely. Prohibition"
The vote on the League la Will
son" was Is to 8; while thirty favor
ed some sort Of league, with eight
voting against any kind.
