Gluck is said frequently to have sjKken bitterly of the country and its administration, voicing his opinions loudly even to strangers. He was prone to bring up the subject at his dinner in a downtown restaurant and his conversation aroused the ire of some of who heard him.

At present more than twenty-four thousand senior and four thousand junior bandsmen are commissioned in the Salvation Army, besides songster brigades numbering nearly seventeen thousand. The notable feature in connection with all these bandsmen is that each one serves voluntarily. No Salvation Army bandsman receives pay for his services in that capacity. Many of them are self-taught and before joining the organization had no knowledge of music, whatever.

In the United States the principal musical organization is the National Staff Band of New York city. This band, composed of about thirty-two excellent musicians, has played in many of the largest halls and churches in the Eastern states, accompanying Miss Eva Booth in some of her public engagements, "besides doing concert work. At the recpnt congress held in Philadelphia they played in the Baptist Temple.

This evening a concert will be given in the citadel, each band giving separate numbers, quartettes, solos, and the united bands giving several numbers.

"Joan of Arc," by Gaul, was given with no little degree of skill, and the solo parts, taken by Miss Lucille Davis, soprano; Frank Trapp, tenor, and Howard McWade, baritone, were well rendered.

"Joan of Arc" is perhaps the most difficult cantata that Kast High Clubs have ever presented. It followed closely the history of the famous Maid of Orleans from the first summoning of "voices" to the final execution at the stake.
