SO USA DECLARES MUSIC
IS AID TO ARJY MORALE
F arnous Composer and Band
Leader Says It Soothes Minds
of Service Men ,
Asserts Value of Harmony for
Soldier and Sailor Can't Be
Overestimated
"M
USIC exerts a tremendous Influ-
ence. upon the moralo of the men
In the army and navy." fald John Philip
Sousa today, at the BltzCarlton Hotel,
commenting upon the value of musical
activities among the men In the serlce.
Mr. Sousa has Just been mustered out
of the serIce, where ho held the rank of
lieutenant, as leader of the famous Great
Lakes Naval Training Station Jland.
"Music haa two effect upon people,"
continued Mr. Sousa. "It has a physical
and a mental effect. It Is the only sen
sual thing I know of, the overindul
gence In which hrlnea no had reRult.i. It
Islfferent In this respect from all other
things which appeal to the physical
senses. No matter how much jou In
dulge In muslo you are a better person
for liaMng done so.
"Muslo Is a soothing and comforting
thing to the boys in the service. It
brings thoughts of home to them, and
of sentiment and makes them forget
many of the thlnsn which would other
wise annoy and disturb them. Songs of
sentiment and fun nre Just as Influential
as war songs.
Mental T.tTttt of Manic
Then there Is the mental effect of
music on the IndlUdual. There Is the
hoy who will listen to It from a kind
of critical lcwpolnt He may hao a
little knowledgo or appreciation of mu
sical technique. Another boy will appre
ciate, Jhe harmony of a piece or Its
unique treatment, perhaps, but he will
become disgusted with the whole thing
If one of the instruments happens to
strike a false note. He Is Just ilke the
young man who calls a girl beautiful
who has a perfect complexion. But if
that girl had a little blemish n her face1
the same boy would say, 'Oh, I don't
think she'B good looking at all '
"It is often the same way with music.
But the value of music In the nrmy or
navy simply cannot De oerestlmated.
England regarded it as the fourth most
vital thlnir In her whole Hnhp.me of (iron
erly sustaining her army. Food, shel
ter and clothing alone were regarded as
of more Importance.

of their army and field life. When the
men nre singing or listening to music
they forgot may of the things hlch
otherwise might bother or dlicouruge

worry them fade away Into subconscious

different thoughts which tho music
arouses.

"Music In battle lyid Its origin ery
far back, I think among the Saracens.
Music 'was a powerful force among the
Crusaders and tho herald of the old days
was held almost Imlolate by tho oppos
ing forces. They wero seldom killed.
In this war a large number of musicians
and bugler bos were killed,
"And how the bos who play In the

cltement and spirit at times. 'I hoy make

Linde February Furniture Sale
Did you ever stop to analyze the reason why we undersell all the centrally located
stores by a full third or more? In the first place, our sole business is furnishing homes.
We have no dull seasons in a score of other departments, with enormous losses to make
.up on our furniture customers. We do not have to pay hundreds of idle clerks needed
for seasonal rushes only now and then.
We have no expensive entertainments. Our overhead doesn't run into millions
for waste and show. We have no losses. On the contrary, we show on the other side
of the ledger a SAVING of $100,000 every year on location and expenses. Every
dollar of this great sum goes to our customers in 'guaranteed lowest prices.
So you see that when we say we save a buyer from 10 to 50 per cent in this
sale we base the statement upon sound business principles. It is not an idle boast.
Hundreds of persons have told us since the sale began that our quality and our prices
-1-our values cannot be equaled anywhere else. They know. They have made careful
comparisons. You can do the samo.

Characterlilng the treatment accorded
New Jersey soldiers a "shimeful and
outrageous," Mayor Ellis, Camden, to
day noaertcd that ho would take steps
to force the War Dep-vrtment to recall
the New Jersey men from France.
"Our boys In tho Twenty-ninth Na
tional Guard Division and Seventy
eighth National Army Division," said
tho Mavor, "ar languishing In a rest
camp. They aro not a part of tho nrmy
ofoccupatlon, and now that tho fight
ing is over they arc eager to tome
home.
"Although southern and western men
are either on tho way across tho ocean
or listed for an early return, nothing
hns been done for the N;w Jersey bovs
They don't know when they aro to come
home and nobody In Washington seems
Interested
"I shall take up the matter with Gov
ernor Edge and urge him to get busy
with tne War Deparfnent, Our bovs
made great sacrifices in Trance and
measured up to the gigantic taks as
signed them. If their gallant work Is
completed we want them home."
Major Ellis said that New Jersey
furnished a greater number of troops
In proportion to Its population than any
state In the Jj'nloti nnd that it had suf
fered the greatest number of major
casualties. ,
"The Twenty-ninth Division," added
tho Mayor," lost more than 400 In killed
Camden County furnished tho bulk of
those men, for our old Third Regiment
was virtually wiped out In tho Stdatr
sector.
"I don't like to protest, but I.feel that
It Is my duty to bring this matter to

to give them a reception that Is fitting,
but must havo some deflnlto word con
cerning the date of their arrival,
