Newport Band May Strike "German" From Name Newport, Pa., Jan. 24.—The New port Germania band is being reor ganized, but the name that the reor ganized . organization shall bear is the subject of more or less contro versy. The name Germania smacks "too much of Hohenzollernism" in the minds of some, and as a result of all this it is quite likely that the name of the organization will be changed. J. S. Eby, Representative of Perry county in the State Legislature and president of the band, said that for some time the change of name had been under discussion by officials. A statement concerning the organ ization and naming of the band has beeh made public as follows: . The reason the word "Germania" was adopted is this: During the Civil War a large number of the members enlisted, and the band ceased to exist. After the close of the war, when it was agaitv organ ized, mostly by veterans of the Civil War, they had for a musical direc tor, a leader of German descent, and as German bands were usually very good bands, they adopted the name as a sort of compliment to their musical director."
