Diehl Is Son of Com- poser of Battle Hymn After a period of more than 50 years, from the stirring days of the Civil War, a song “The Color Guard”, written by a Philadelphla lawyer, a captain in the Union army, and later prominent in sccial circles, sung by the wearers of the Union forces and then lost, has just been found by the CAPT. THOMAS J. DIEHL. X composer’s daughter, Mrs. Edward Ipngerich Smith of 1613 Spruce street of Philadelphia. An interesting. feature is_that Wil- liam E. Diehl, sales-manager for the local concern of the Corbin Screw Corporation of 24 Cedar street, this city, is a son of Captain Thomas J. Diehl, the composer of the song. The verses are so appropriate to the present occasion, so suitable in this war period in which no real stirring war song has been composed, that Mr Smith is making plans to have the song, words and music, dedicated to the present warring period and given to the country. According to data of his daughter, Captain Dlekl served with high hon- ors in the Civil War until his resigna- tion in 1£63. His retircment was due to a severe attack of typhoid fever with which he was taken while® on duty before Gettyshurg, having never tully recovered from the attack. When the war broke out he was a_member of the First City Troop, of Philadel- phia and served with such distinction that he was awarded a commission as captain and was appointed aide to General David B. Birney of the twen- third Pennsylvania Regiment. He wrote the song “Our Color Guard” in thq terrific fighting which ecnsuea through the earliest days of the great struggle. The men in bluc became attached to the song and it spread like wild fire on a prairie through the ranks of the Northern forces until all knew the refrain. It was acccpted as i the soldiers’ regulation rallying#song and at that time was one of the most popular songs out. - Tn some unex ned manner- the original copy po: ed by the family was lost and remained so for half a century. Looking through some old papers and manuscripts recently Mrs. Smith found the original sheets is anxious to have the song, written by her father, adopted at this time because of her son, Edward I. Smith, Jr., who is doing his bit by serving his country. He is stationed at Camp Meade, Admiral, Md., as a member of the new National Army. The Dichl family has played a con- spicuous part in American history for more than 200 year Mrs. Smith was the founder of the Philadelphia Chap- ter, Daughters of the American Rev- olution ,and was its regent four years ago. The words of the song follow: Now onward; onward! let it wave, Amid the cannons roar, ‘Borne by the noble and the brave, Through streams of crimson gore; Amid the btattle's fiercest strife, There ever let it be And guard it with devoted life, That standard of the free. CHORUS Hurrah boys! Hurrah boys! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! Onward! Onward! ever be “Our Color guard” supplied. “Stand by those colors” many an eve Is looking up today To see that glorious emblem fly Where danger cliecks the way “Stand by those colors!” many a soul Will gain new strength to die If in the red tides fiercest roll Those colors proudly fiy. On! color guard! Oh noble, brave How one by one they fall But not their fate! nor vet the grave Our brave lads can appalt Now from the ranks leap cagerly, Like groom to meet bride, A score of volunteers—and see! “Our color guard’ supplied.

The fact that New Britain is the first city in the country to have a “Museum Week,” will assure an unusually large attendance dur- ing the coming week at the popular institution. Curator Schurr has planned for and looked forward to “Museum Week™ for some time and it promises to prove a most interesting event. Al { though Mr. Schurr has been some- what disappointed in not being able to get a few new cases from the fac- tory In time for ‘“Museum Week," nevertheless there will be put on dis- play many objects which will greatly increase the Museum displays. The object in having ‘“Museum Week” is not only for the purpose of increasing the exhibits at the Mu- seum, but to create a more general interest in science and art. Up to a few years ago museums of art and science were looked upon by the masses as ‘fossilized” places—Iinsti- tutions which had to do with things of ages gone by and which only af- forded entertainment and Instruction to the more learned. In fact many museums have been conduated in a | manner which did not make the insti- tutions over popular with the public. ven in the present day of progres- some museums about the although possessing magnifi- nt buildings, do not attract great numbers of people within their doors because no efforts are made to make the institutions welcome places to go. However, the majority of museums endeavor in every way possible to at- tract all classes of people, young and old. The museum of today Is a place of instruction which makes it a pleas- ure to young and old to visit frequent- ly. That the Museum of Natural His- tory and Art of tho New Britain Insti- tute popular with the people, and that it is a pleasure to go there often, is proven beyond a doubt by the large attendance which it constantly has. Thousands of people g0 there monthly. Yesterday being a holiday with the children, owing to the teach- ers’ conve on, the museum was vis- ited by 344 young people and parents between 2 and 5 o’clock. In the eve- ning, as it is every night, there were many visitors. During “Museum Weel” it is hoped that all who can will visit the mu- seum and note the progress it has made since its opening to the public, not eighteen months ago. Plan to visit the museum next week. Take notice of the cards on the objects dis- played and see how many people have helped the museum to grow. “Museum Week,” October 29 to No- vember 3 is the Deginning of several events which will take place at the Institute Museum during the winter. Following “Museum Week” and be- ginning Monday, Nov. and lasting throughout the month, there will he an exhibition of Pictorial Photog- raphy by American artists, conts ing over onc hundred of the pictures which photographic produce. At the close of th bition the museum will have will be cailed land's Week,” when there will be put on display a large, specially arranged case of game and song birds, which will show the .feathered creatures in | their nesting and feeding habits. This case of birds, as well as other bird groups, re he gift of E. H. Davison, | and as all the specimens in these | isplays were collected in or near New Britain, and because all are to be put on exhibition at one time, the museum will herald it, “New Britain | Woodland’s Weel Curator Schurr | planned to have the Davison Case of Birds and bird groups on exhibition during ‘“Museum Week,” but as it proved impossible to get the case from the mill in time, they will be put on display as above mentioned. Other activities at the museum will be announced later. ¥or the present all attention is focused on next week. Visit the museum one or more times | during the coming week and .see how it has grown. n- finest can exhi- hat CITY COURT CASES.

MANUSGRIPT OF |‘MUSEUM WEEK'TO [GAN YOU DRIVE A BRAKE:LESS AUT? That Is One of Tests Ambulance Men Must Pass In the following letters written by Willlam H. Buell, who is driving in France, to his parents in this city, he tells of the final test given to those Wwho aspire to drive ambulances on the Fr?nch front. The letters follow: “Somewhere in France, “August 21, 1917, “Dear Mother and Father:-— “I get up at 6 a. m., roll call at 6:30, breakfast at 7, drill 7:45 to 10, driving 10 to 11:30, lunch at 11:30, roll call 12:30, driving 1 to 4, drill 5 to 6:30, rest 7 to 9:30, bed at 9:30. One must be in bed at 9:30. I get to bed at 7. So much drill is very hard, “Just think, no mail for me. I really think you gave me up for lost on account of the press reports. I saw 2 paper from Chicago yesterday and it had an account of the being sunk and all aboard drowned. If you read between the lines of that wire You would have known the report was only to fool Eritz. “Some men are coming out from Parls tonight. I hope they will bring in some mail. We are limited to send one letter a day from here. I did not have time to write yesterday. When I get to the front I shall have less time. What wouldn't I give for a good glass of water. “There are many airplanes flying around at all times in the day. wish I could take a picture of them. Have no camera here as all must be left in Paris. “Somewhere in France, August 22, 1917. “I have no news to write, that is nothing about what I am doing. Every day is the same writing. “There are several places of inter- est around here. About one and one- half miles towards Paris there is a line of Boche trenches. Fritz used these when he made the great drive three years ago and got within 20 miles of Pa They zigzag for miles and miles across the flelds and are protected on the defense side by barb- ed wire entanglements. This wire 1s charged with electricity during air at- tacks and the poor fellows who get caught in it are electrocuted or shot to death. There is a church here that was built in 900 A. D. The mill where we are quartered was occupled by the Boche for five days when they made their drive. Many of the large trees were cut down but not a great deal of damage was done as Fritz was in too much of a hurry when he retreated. “There is an old chateau near here that was built in 400 A. D. There are places where the defenders could pour boiling water down on the enemy. It is in excellent condition. Indeed throughout France all buildings ars built to stay, no wooden frames nor shingle roofs but stone and tile “I had a final test in the car today | and I expect that means I will go to Paris tomorrow and thence to the front. 1 hope I am sent to the Verdun front as the allies are making sreat advances there and there will be lots of ambulance work. This afternoon T shall have to drive a car with no brakes throngh a village, in and out of aystacks, in a lot, and in and out of fence posts. Then I.shall have to go over the same route backwards “It is very cold after the sun goes down and very hot through the day. The people in France can have no meat. Only soldiers get meat and that is horsemeat and mulemeat a great deal. Tt is as good beef though, that is, as good as some beef I have caten. “I read a New York Herald yester- day (European edition), only a sheet to a newspaper on acount of the shortage of paper. 1 do hope I shall get some mail from you when I go to Paris again.
