After gerving a year in France in the In- fantry during the World War, he was made commanding officer of Gen, Pershing’s Headquarters Band. In a letier to Mr. James, Gen. Persh- ing spoke of the band and its con- ductor as the greatest example of military music in the United States. In 1922 Mr. James founded the New Jersey Orchestra and was its conductor for seven years. He has also been conductor of the Brooklyn Orchestra Society and has appeared as guest conductor of the Oratorio Society of New York and the Manhat- tan Symphony Orchestra.
