 This wasn't war, President Will son was careful to explain. On ly actual overt acts," he said, 'could make us believe that Ger many was our enemy"
 The overt acts weren't long in coming. On February 18th, the President told Congress that two American ships had been sunk & asked for authority to institute a policy of armed neutrality. Guns and gun crews were placed on the American merchant ships.
 It was on February 28 that we got our next jolt from Germany. On that day the famous Zimmer- mann note was made public. This as maybe you remember, was a secret note from Dr. Alfred Zim- memann, Germany's Secretary of Foreign Affairs, to the German Minister in Mexico, which was captured by the United States Secret Service on the Mexican border. It read:
 "On the first of February we intend to begin submarine war fare unrestricted. In spite of this it is our intention to endeavor to keep neutral the United States of America.

 ID. One steamer a week sails in each direction with arrival at Falmouth on Sunday and depar- ture from Falmouth on Wednes- day.
 "E. United States Government guarantees that no contraband (according to German contraband list) is carried by those steamers
 We boiled with indignation when we read that note. Nobody was going to tell us how we had to paint our ships and where or when we could run them. We were ready to fight. President Wilson addressed Congress on February 3rd, describing how he had told Germany the previous April that if the German govern. ment persisted in unrestricted submarine warfare, diplomatic relations would be severed, and making the following momentous announcement:
 T have therefore directed the Secretary of State to announce to his Excelency the German Am bassador that all diplomatic rela- tions between the United States and the German Empire are sev- cred and that the American Am

were accepted, for this orchestra is a business organization with each musician an equal stock holder.
 The incorporated band has been functioning since 1880, when Gene Goldkette broke up one of his musical aggregations. Instead of drifting their own ways, the players formed their own band, A president and board of di- rectors were chosen. A manager was selected and admitted to the corporation as & shareholder.
 At their first meeting, 1t was de- cided that each member would be paid the prevailing union scale plus $50. Any money earned by the band above that was to be placed in @ reserve fund. At the end of the year the members would receive @ dividend on any undistributed profits.
 Swings Into Big Money
 Glen Gray, a saxophonist in the band, was elected president of the corporation. As Q result the band assumde his name although up until last winter he played with the band while somebody else di- rected 1t. Now he does both. Other officers of this unique mu- sical aggregation are Pee Wee" Hunt, trombonist and singer, vice president; Kenny Sargent, singer, secretary, and F. A. Pat" Davis saxaphonist treasurer. Under their direction, and the music turned out by the boys, the band has pros- pered. Along with Manager F. O.. O'Keefe and his secretary, Sarah Thompson, they met here in Q bus- mess session. This writer was per- mitted to sit in on part of the meetings as 0 historical observer" to see how board of directors of @ swing band functions.
 The board was in shirt sleeves, with some of the directors having collars open. The first order of business was whether the band had to be incorporated in both New York and Delaware, as the taxes in the last year looked like the war debt to Treasurer Davis.
 Davis also reported that profits of the past six months were greater than they ever were in Q similar period, despite the fact that the band wasn't on the radio with Q sponsored program. Next come the details of 6 contract to make recordings for 6 26-weelS series over 100 stations. Davis also reported that the corporation had bought the share of one of It's original members, Mel Jensen, violinist, who recently retired to enter the oil business.
 Popularity Prevents Vacation
 O'Keefe made the sad report that the band would have to forego It's usual three- weeks -with-pay Vaca- ton this year due to bookings. The band has been working for 10 con- secutive months without c lay-off.
 Miss Thompson then produced stack of papers containing ap- plications 10 rjobs from girl sing plications for jobs from girl sing CTS and for the eighth consecutive year the board voted down add ing a female vocalist to the band. It took exactly three minutes to reach that decision. After all, Directors Sargent and Hunt sing with the band, and the public hasn't { complained yet.
 The corporation also has several outside business holdings and in- terests which were discussed after we left the meeting. That had nothing to do with their music, the thing that makes Casa Loma, Inc, one of the most interesting corpo- rations in our vast and complicated bllsiness realm
