Aug. I—News gather- j ins is an indispensable industry, ;?ee retary Baker said to-day. In discus-1 alng draft regulations, although a particular man's relation to. that in- j dustry must depend, Mr. Baker added, j upon the facts in his case and the > possibility of replacing him. Citing conditions in his home city of Cleveland, the war secretary said ; there were newspaper men above the new draft age limit proposed to Con gress who probably could replace younger men in an emergency.

'' It Is perhaps an omen. Whatever else j Dr. Allen does with his professor ! ship the Times is sure he will take ; hold of music by new handles, and : that he will say things that want j saying, as those can who make j friends everywhere. What wanted ! saying just then was that It is of little use to expect much improve j ment in musical education until j you have purged and elevated the | music which is dinned all day and (every night into people's ears. It begins with the home sur j roundings—the absence of any idea i that music can be a real part of life, the limited opportunities of making it. the notion of a tune that is implied in the fact that it is whistled not for itself but as a way of being up to date, or sung as ah excuse for saying words that are silly ior risky, add the impossibility of escape from these noises. The mis chief begins there, but reforms must begin not with iho,se who are, but I who will one day be, parents, with I the rlaces where tunes are manu factured wholesale, not dispensed I retail. A beginning hjis been made In the schools. There are less of the I vertebrate effusions compiled "for" I children and more of the tunes that have survived the test of time. - Might not this be carried further, each new song be printed on a card and a child be allowed to take home I i with him the one he liked as soon I as he could sing it correctly? This would make him happy and his par- I ents proud, and ineidently dissem- j inate the right kind of song. What I |is wanted is rhythmical tunes and j I self-dependence. We heard a score of boy tiddlers the other day at j Stratford: if their tune had had j more swing in it. and if instead of I being conducted by, their teacher, [after she had first tuned their fid dles for them, they had tuned their own and the best of them had just stepped out and conducted the rest by example, the result, good as it I was. would have been still more j worth having. Public Performances However, it is from public per- j forniances that we get most of our ideas of music. Such institutions t as South Place, the Alexandra Pal- ! ace. and the Pepple's Palace, some I of the restaurants and tea shops. ] and the county council bands do j excellent work, but cover limited j areas. The sounds that reach the majority of those who might be music-lovers, but are at present only bad criUcs, come from theaters, cinemas, gramophones, and street organs. Too n\uch of this music is trash, though npt quite such trash as it once tfas. The music-halls have in the last few years included ; pieces of rational music finely per- I formed, while the street-organs, at : any rate the westerly ones, improved their harmonies, though r.ot their raucous voices, out of all recognition: at a cinema the other j I! day we heard a really excellent pianist, and some theaters have at . last supplied their orchestra with ! sufficient bass. j It is in these directions that Dr. | i Allen hopes for further progress. I He would enlist the sympathies of I j managers and manufacturers and j get them to agree that a good tune ] really pays better than a bad one. | We believe that musical philan ] thropists could hardly find a more ! useful piece of work than to visit the cinemas and see what the prob lem was. the organ factory and see j what the conditions were, the East- , ; end and see what live children really j danced to. and then set to work and ! make a list of suitable pieces in | accessible arrangements to enable j these purveyors of sound to become j patrons of art. This is a thing the purveyors have neither the time nor the knowledge to do for themselves, and for which they would be grate ful. The things to get rid of are not the racy music-hall songs, which often ' say a pointed thing in a quick way. i but the stale Rigoletto, the sentl- I mental Cavalleria. and the sickly Balfe: and the things to subsUtute for these are the tunes of which it can be truly felt that "still they are carolled and said—on wings they are I carried —after the singer is dead and I the maker buried." The truth about ! it has never been better put than in j that letter we have lately been read- i ing from a colonel of a battalion fa- I mous for its marching qualities. wlo j ?aid he knew nothing about music ! • which was not wholly true), but j knew something of men (as the I sequel showed). He paraded the 1 "noisest" men in each platoon and! forced chanties down their throats. I to their infinite content, as soon as they found "that I only censored ' the tune, not the words." What he j was on the look-out for was "any thing with a good beat In it, old or new," and what "worked best" were tunes from a morris-dancer's book I "The men simply love them for some J reason or other." Exactly and it is up to the philanthropists who know the reason to find the tunes and place them where they are want ed. Pennsylvania Boys at Spartanburg Camp j Spartanburg. S. C., Aug. 9.—The | first conUngent of the Pennsylvania draftees, about 2,700 In all, have ar rived here. The men are In good shape, although tired on reaching here from the long, hot ride.

The men expressed themselves as well satisfied. The new arrivals will be kept un der quarantine for two weeks as a precaution against introduction of contagious diseases, and during that time they will be examined by the medical and other boards and given regimental assignments. It has been intensely hot in camp, but there was no letup in the drill and other work. There have been no heat prostrations and the men seem to' thrive on their work in the open air.
