MUSIC IN THE ARMY.
The war department will give special attention
to instrumental and vocal music in the army, ac-
cording to a war department bulletin, which says
that an organization of orchestras and other instru-
mental organizations should be encouraged by com-
manding officers to the fullest extent, so that it may
not be necessary to employ civilian musicians for
dances, entertainment, etc. Also informal or
recreational singing should be encouraged at ath-
letic sports, moving picture shows, etc. The war
department believes that each of the department
and divisional camps should have an expert music
director. Civilian music directors will be assigned
by the war department and salaries and expenses
paid by it.
TWO GOOD NEW SONGS.
Two new songs, by Bertram! Brown, have been
issued by Harold Flammer, 56 W. 45th street, New
York. This publisher makes a feature of sheet
music with illustrations inside and out. The idea
is novel, but whether it is especially advantageous
we fail to see. The songs are, however, beautifully
printed and will no doubt receive comment because
of the manner in which they are presented. And
the compositions—both words and music—are clear
and deserving of success. They are entitled, re-
spectively, "I Never Knew" and "Maybe." Both
make good encore numbers.
