those billions would not be enough to
pay what this country owes to

morning the local papers mentioned
his singing favorably. Up to this

gave him an ovation. 1t was but a
short time after that that Almoney
and it was not long before some of the
members of War Camp Community
Service took notice of him and furnish
ed him music, many numbers being
learned by listening to the records of
some of the great recording artists
Then Almoney was made an overseas
courier, carrying dispatches from
Washington, D. c., to American head
quarters. located at Chaumont, France,
and after dispatches were delivered
Almoney returned to Paris to await
return orders. Becoming acquaint ed
with social leaders in the French capi-
tai, Almoney was invited to receptions
and would sing such ballads as THE
Trumpeter" and AT Dawning" At
one of these salons he met the late
Camille st. Saens and also Countess
Swinarska Of Poland, a lifelong friend
of the late Jean de Reszke, who, after
hearing Almoney sing, advised him to
study seriously. Being like most
demobilized soldiers broke and jobless,
but armed with determination, per.
severance and ambition, Almoney
worked by day and studied by night,
with the result that he now occupies
an enviable position in the recital
field.
