Twenty out of the two hundred passed. The
war outlook was very black.
'The remedy was the bandmasters school
which I organized at Chaumont," Mr.. Dam
rosch said the other day. General Pershing
told me to go right ahead and it was just my
forte my chance to help in the war. Just as
the French furnished teachers to instruct our
men on the 75's, they supplied me noted mu-
scians from their army as professors for my
school in quiet academic Chaumont. To the
leaders school I added instruction for oboes,
bassoons and French horns, Instruments which
gave the French bands mellow quality which
ours did not possess. headquarters band

1t is not at all far fetched to say that the
improved bands played their part in the sue
cesses of the American arms which began
about that time and continued until they ended
the war;

police, sometimes perhaps as a result Of the
lack of sympathy of an unmuscal colonel,
sometimes to quell the temperament invoked
by the bonds Of military discipline. Bandsmen
were ammunition carriers, runners and grave
diggers, much of the time being shelled and
gassed.
Army regulations used to prescribe that in
action bands be used as stretcher bearers. Mr..
Damrosch tells the story of the changing of
this order In Paris he met band leader,
just from the front, whose band had been used
for that duty and suffered such heavy casual
ties that it destroyed as an organization.
Mr. Damrosch resolved to protest to General
Pershing against the regulation and did so.

appreciation on the high worth Of bands as
raising the morale of the combatant troops
that the next day he issued a general order
countermanding the regulation.

Hughes Balfour-Kato
conference Clears Up
Naval MISUNDERSTANDING

Washington, Nov. 20-(By A. P.)
AS a result of the conference yes
terday between Secretary Hughes.
Mr.. Balfour and Admiral Baron
kato, at which the naval question
was thoroughly canvassed in the
light of the japanese reservations.
the greatest confidence was expressed
in authoritative japanese circles to-
night that an accord eventually
be reached. The conference, it was
said, effectually cleared the air" Of
many misunderstood points.
While no official Nstatement was
Forthcoming as to the line followed
by the tripartte discussion yester-
day, it was believed that partial eX-
PLANTATION at least lay In the state
ment obtained at the headquarters Of
one delegation that the three grea
naval powers might have varying
estimates OF the actual existing
strength OF their navies. which, being
harmonized, might suggest way to
settlement of ratios"
The position of Japan was set
forth Otnght as that OF determination
to attain favorable agreement.
Japanese experts were emphatic in
declaring that tonnage and not con-
sideration of speed and armament
was the logical basic Of ratio dis
placements. They pointed out that a
battle cruiser might possess greater
speed bat that she was inferior to a
drcadnaugft in strength OF armor
and number OF guns and that in a
naval enga cement at close quarters
would certainly be at a disadvantage
Therefore, the fact that British and
Japanese capital ships included bat
tie cruisers was not to them an In
dication of superiority and should
not be counted as such. they in
sisted.
Japan has no positive program
concerning the general question of
China which will be discussed this
week. 1t was learned today, hut as
various points are presented, Japan
will explain her position as clearly
as possible. In japanese circles,
some anxiety was apparent tonight
as to the concrete questions which
China might bring before the confer
ence. Emphasis was laid on the Jap
anese contention that the Chinese
delegates represent only the Picking
government which does not control a
great part of China and hat the
delegates therefore. do not represent
the Chinese people as a whole.
