aa Issued the following: order of the
lay to the French troop?:
t "Four years of effort with our
(launch allies. fc*ur years of trials
stoically endured begin to bear fruit.
"His fifth attempt In 1918 smashed,
the Invader retreats, his manpower
lecreas.-s and his morale wavers,
while at your side your American
brothers have no sooner landed than
they have made a baffled enemy feel
the weight of their blows.
"Incessantly placed in jh® advanced
guard of the allied peoples, you have
prepared the triumphs of to-morrow.
"Not long ago I said to you.
'Abnegation, patience; your comrades

"To-day i say. Tenacity, audacity; i
you shall force victory." / i
"Soldiers of France. I salute your
banners, illuminated with new glory."
Yews Gathering, Baker
Says, Is Essential Work
Waskington. 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.

FRIDAY EV~EIV lIMLi,
S MUSIC FOR THE
MILLIONS IS AIM
OF OXFORD HEAD
,Dr. Allen Promises to Take
Hold of Art by New
Handles
London—The first public utter
: ance of the new professor of music
'at Oxford has been on the humble
subject of barrel-organs and kindred
matters—on music as It reaches the
unlettered and impecunious. '' 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. Most of
them made direct for the showeV
baths as soon as they detrained.
Everything was in readiness tor
their reception, tents "being pitched,
cots In position and hot meals wait
ing to be served. 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. The camp schedule calls for
eight full hours of work a da v. but
men are worked up to this schedule
by degrees. Due regard is had for
new men. especially those from of
