BETTER MUSIC
OF ARMY BANDS
Gen. Pershing Orders Es-
tablishment Of Army
Music School

Washington. Dec. 1o.-Army music
soon will compare with that of the
best orchestras and bands of the coun-
try. Popular music will be supple
mented by the classical masterpieces
and a superband and orchestra will be
created from army musicians.
General Pershing already has ord
cred the establishment here of the
Army Music School and Walter DAM
rosch, conductor of the New York
Symphony Orchestra, has pledged him
assistance in work of organization.
Both are determined thru the school
to elevate music in the army.
The object of the school, as outlined
in the orders issued by General Persh-
ing, ''is to give courses of instruction
In music. both practical and theoretical.
bandsmen, to advanced instrumental
lists tsoloists). and to student band
leaders, to standardize and perfect
band music, and to supply trained per-
sonnel therein to meet. as fully as
possible, the needs of the service
The first move to better army music
was made by General PershinE soon
after he took over the office of chief
of staff. One of his first actions was
to transfer the school from Fort Jay.
New York. to Washington and direct
that 1t be reorganized as super
band" comparable only to the splen-
did band which was organized in
France"

would be the only place suitable for
its organization.
These statements were contained in an
exchange of correspondence between
the general and Mr.. Damrosch. Tho
latter first was opposed to tho rcmov-
lieving students would have better ad-
vantages to hear good music and study
II in New York than In Washington.
He later reconsidered and offered his
assistance In making the school all
that the general proposed. It was Mr..
Damrosch who organized the famous
"Pcrshing's Own at Chaumont, head
quarters of the American Expedition
ary Forces. which won great distinc-
tion among the military bands OF tho
tour the United States during one of
the Liberty Loan campaigns.
The movement to improve music in
the army has as Its objective the ulti-
mate graduation from the school of
enough men to give each regiment a
highly trained musical organization
able TO compete with the best bands
and orchestras in concerts, for the
public's entertainment as well as that
OF the army. Thus. General Pershing
hopes TO find another tic between tho
army and tho people of the country.
to give each better and moro init
mate understanding OF the other and
to blot out any impression that tho
military and .the citizcnry must move
In different circles.
First evidences OF the success Of
tho school were exhibited recently
when the students werc used to wel-
come the various armament confcr-
cnce delegations. Tho school band was
called upon 10 furnish music for tho
receptions at the Union Station and
attracted attention In every instance
by the perfection with which II played,

.LEPER CURE IN

who Is making an investigation of
health conditions in the archipelago

DIR. Heiser has endeavored to
ascertain the exact quantity of chaul-
moogra oil in the Philippine Islands
and Is also looking into the posi-
bility of obtaining a sufficient sup
My to treat all of the 5000 persons
suffering from leprosy on Gulion ISL
and, where the lepers of the Philip
pine group are confined.
General Leonard Wood. who be-
came governor general of tho Philip
pines last week. has made up his mind
that all of the lepers at the colony
shall receive the treatment. IL 1t is
possible" said DIR. Hciser. He made
this announcement in a public address
recently. l am looking up the avail
shle supply of oil for this work, not
only from the local standpoint but
from a worldwide aspect. 1t is pos

There are at present more than
1000. 900 lepers in the world. India
alone has more than 100000 and
Japan about $4,000. Some of the
South American countries also have
large numbers. The treatment re-
7uires about 30 iiters of oil per 1000
patients a month"; SO that the possi-
oilities of the chaulmoogra oil indus

The oil is extracted from nut
