APPROPRIATE.
Dehorn, the apartment house air
shaft cornetist, and send his musical
instrument to the borders of No Man’s
Land. Here is a chance for patriotic
sacrifice which, at the same time, will
confer a great relief on the neighbors
and brighten the life of some musical
ly-inclined Yankee soldier in the
trenches or the billets or the rest
camps of the war zone.
There is a great demand for musical
instruments by the soldiers over
there. This is the word received here
by the war work council of the Y. M.
C. A. from their hundreds of secre
taries and workers In the war zone.
Os course there is music there, regi
mental bands, field music, talking ma
chines and pianos in the “Y” huts, but
the soldiers who have the yearning do
not want self-starting music. They
want the kind they can “push out”
themselves, no matter how bad it is,
as long as It expresses them.
Would Make His Own Music.
Music’s charms are notorious for
their soothing effects, and one can im
agine the depression of a soldier, who
has nothing of a musical outfit but a
pair of ear-drums, when he wishes to
hide away with a saxophone, to snort
sad sounds from it. That man is not
going to be satisfied with the best
band music, the finest phonograph rec
ords or the piano playing of other per
sons who may be experts, not as long
as he yearns to blow, scrape or pound
out notes or sounds of his own manu
facture.
Anyone who has listened to a be
ginner, under the pretext of practic
ing, groan with a base horn, sob rip
plingly with a slide trombone or cry
aloud with a blat-blat alto horn, has
realized that the performer wasn’t
playing, but was relieving his feelings.
Well, soldiers with a weakness for
music have that same desire to relieve
their feelings after the strain of bat
tle or monotony of camp. And they
need some instruments by which they
can generate musical noises which will
soothe their own savage breasts and
at the same time put their comrades

fn such fighting mood that they are
ready to sweep the Huns into the
Rhine.
Soldiers enjoy teasing tunes from
solo instruments, the Y. M. C. A. men
report, and it is up to sound-shatter
ers here to provide the apparatus.
They have “come across” with bank
notes, why not part with their high
notes? The “Y” will pass them along
to the yearners.
Discrimination in Donations.
Calliopes, pipe organs, grand pianos
and bass drums are hardly convenient
for soldiers to keep in dugouts or to
carry on hikes. A slide trombone would
be all right for open warfare, but in
a trench it couid only be played side
ways. At that, a trench greatly re
sembles an ochestra pit. Discrimina
tion should be used as to the type as
well as the size. A bass horn would
be suitable for a man detailed to base
headquarters and it would be all right
to send a soldier a French horn if he
understands that language.
This does not limit the list to mouth
organs, jewsharps, “sweet potatoes”
and accordions. It should include
reeds and small brasses. If American
soldiers are to turn the scale they
should be allowed to run it, also.
