FAMOUS VETERAN BAND MAKES HIT "Jim" Europe's "Hell Fight ers" as Popular in New- York as Abroad The story came out of Paris be fore the armistice was signed that General Gourard, the veteran French commander of 1870, who made himself so effective in the late war, wouldn't lerfve Aix les Bains while the band of the Three Hun dred and Sixty-ninth Infantry was there. The old hero of two .wars liked to listen to the jazz music of the famous band of the "Hell Fight ers" and he liked it so well that he made his headquarters wherever the band happened to be quartered. Lieutenant James Rees Europe, the fighting bandmaster of the famous colored organization, will be here with his band Tuesday, March IS, and give two concerts at the Orpheum and show why General Gourard and the whole French na tion went wild over this band. During fiften months in the light ing zone, Lieutenant Europe's band was detailed at various times to lighten the sipirits of the men in the trenches, the wounded men in hos pitals, the men on leave from tlie front and the people that stayed at home. They were detailed at" Paris for a period when complaint came from the actual lighting front that the boys for whom the band was or ganized were lonesome for their own music and were tired of the brand being doled out by other bands. General Pershing had made the de tail and many soldiers and civilians who were in Paris tried to convince him that the joy-giving musicians were necessary to the morale of the French capital. It was General Gourard that carried the petition to the American commander and con vinced him that the band should be sent back to the boys that were on the firing lines. They did return to the front and were greeted by the doughboys in such fashion that Europe said that whenever his hand was sent away he would remain to take his place behind a machine gun. tlie position he originally en listed for. Lieutenant Europe was drafted but once, lie entered the service as a volunteer despite his reputation as a musician and was steadily plugging away at a machine gun when Colonel Haywood found him and drafted him from the ranks to organize and direct a band. Later he entered an officers' school and received his commission. The band numbers sixty-five men. and while the program will contain jazz music played as only colored musicians can handle the syncopated melodies, there will be selections calculated to display the abilities of tlie band to the fullest. As Vera Bloom said recently in the New York Telegram: "1 don't think we can dislike jazz music aft er we hear what it meant on the other side. If France, which of all countries in the world knows wiiat art is. took the trap drum and the slide trombone to its heart in war times, then there is something to say for the jazz fad in America now."

REGULATE TRUCKS ON STATE ROADS Highway Department to Take I'p Causes of Traffic Complaints Truck drivers who hold to the ' middle of the roud regardless of ! traffic and who hold up automobiles j are going to be regulated as well as the weight, width and length of the ! big vehicles which are coming into I such extensive use in across the State transportation under plans which are being made by the State administration. During the discus i sion of the important problem of the maximum weight, which will furnish the basis for the State High way Department's construction specifications and plans, numerous I complaints have come to the office | of the Governor and to the Highway Department about "road hogs" and | "speed devils". Truck drivers, in cluding some skippers of moving vans appear to be tlte chief offend ers in the former class and from all accounts instances have occurred wherein they have maintained posi tions in travel which has been un warranted and forced passenger I cars to stay behind them when a I change of about a foot or eighteen inches would have been ample to permit traffic to go uninterruptedly. ) Some years ago the State Police department broke up speeding on the Lincoln and other much travel led highways and it is possible that I the aid of the constabulary as well ias of local authorities may be in voked by State action to obtain re ports on persons violating the rules of the road. Many complaints have come in the last few months, which have permitted movement of big vans and cargo trucks to a greater extent than usual, that traffic in the neighborhood of large cities has been interfered with. From all accounts Governor Wil liam t'. Sproul is interested in get ting these causes of complaint re moved. The Governor has been making his own observations in regard to the weight of trucks and effect on high way surfaces and a proposition lim iting loaded trucks to an aggregate of 28.000 pounds may be established The legislation on the subject is in the formative stage. A seven ton truck with a seven ton load has been much favored in correspond ence coming to State officials and legislators. Similarly a maximum width of 00 inches and a length of 2(1 feet have been generally ap proved. A final decision will be reached in a day or so with the above limits probable.
