CHINESE RECRUITING OF
LABOR IS PROHIBITED.
(By Associated Press)
CANTON, China, March 27. — Gov
ernor Chu Chlng l.an has instructed
I lie Canton iiollce to prevent any fur
ther recruiting of Chinese laborers for
Prance. Many thousands of Canton
ese have already been sent from Hong
Kong to nssist the French an agricul
tural work, and in trench digging and
building roads behind the fighting
lines in France. The forcible seizure
by the French of an addition to Its*
concession In Tlen-Tsln has estranged
Chinese sympathy, and is responsible
for the order in this city against the
recruiting of further Chinese labor Tor
France.

COLUMBUS, N. M., March 27. -
Less picturesque hut more efficient
than the old time civilian "mule skin
ner" of the army, the civilian motor
truck driver has found a place in the
United States army.
When (iencrul Pershing's troops
were in Mexico the motor truck driv
ers would roll into Columbus covered
with alkali desert dust, their rifles
strapped beside the driver's seat in
a leather boot. They have been called
the unsung heroes of the punitive ex
pedltlon. Driving over hundreds of
miles of mountain road, risking Mexi
can snipers and making night drives
without headlights ,the drivers of the
“gas hogs" won their place.
Upon the return of the punitive ex
pedition many of these truck drivers
were dismissed, given transportation
and sent back home. They came to
the border here from the machine
shops of Cleveland, from the automo
bile factories of Detroit and the ga
rages of an hundred cities.

PUBLIC EXPECTS
(By Associated Press)
SAN Kit INCISCO, March It Ed
win Kama re, whom millions of visitors
heard [day the great pipe organ In
Festival Hall during the Panama Pa
cific International Exposition, and who
has been appointed municipal organist
of San Francisco at an annual salary
of $10,000, has issued an informal
statement, In which he makes it clear
what kind of music he thinks the pub
lic generally has a right to expect. He
says:
"Old and acrepted beliefs that the
ordinary human, through lack of edu
cation, is unable to grasp music of the
highest order, and that none but the
musically learned are able to
thoroughly appreciate good music are
fallacies. The public is the final court
of appeal as to what Constitutes good
music. If it says a composition Is
good, that composition is good.
"flood music is that which strikes
the consciousness of an audience
through its memory of melody. The
greatest music, particularly organ
compositions, is invariably the sim
plest forms of tonal expression.
"The musician who pretends to be
superior to pure melody, such as that
found in the, old folk songs, has for
gotten the origin orUis profession. He
has become stilled, in a measure, and
he might more rather than entertain,
although technically perfect in his In
terpretations.
“It is not hard to hold the attention
of an audience with the organ, for
the reason that the less one knows
about music of the organ, which is es
sentially emotional, the better it can
be enjoyed. This would not be true
of an orchestra, because the attitude
of an audience before an orchestra of
pretentions is unconsciously pedantic
Also, full appreciation of the wonder
ful possibilities of orchestral music
depends in a larger measure on tech
nical knowledge.
‘"1 he organ has to give its own mes
sage and make its own appeal, and
this is easily done if the performer
understands the soul of the public,
which Is keen to take offense if any
inferior article in the guise of 'great
music' is offered. Tho way to appeal
through the organ can of course be
gained only through long experience
An organist's personality has much to
do with his success, and unless he can
entertain, and give music worth while
that is elevating and Inspiring his mis
sion is a failure.
"It is an absolute fallacy to think
that the 'man in the street' cannot un- |
derstand and comprehend fully the j
difference between superior and in
fcrior music.
"I never play ‘down’ to my audience :
nor to the gallery, nor do | play so j
called popular' and rag time composl
tlons. The public as a whole doesn’t
appreciate that class of music. It
bores and the organist who persists
In playing It will lose the respect of
his hearers.” •
