M. C. A. Song Leader.) “ORGANIZEI) NOISE” {8 a tre- mendous factor in winning * any battle. The bunch that goes over the top singing in unison or with every man emitting the same yell has better esprit de corps than the crowd that simply makes all the noise of any kind it canm, each man for himself. Consider also the effect on the enemy! An effort is now being made to evolve the best possible yell for the American army and have it made uniform throughout our forces. The old “rebel yeil” was a corker, but it's hard for some men to get 1t off right. The Indian war whoop 18 another good one and every man can make a real job of it, but it hae the disadvantage of making a man clap hig hand to bis lips when lie hag better uses for the hand. “Yip, yips,” “yows,” “wows” and “rays” have hren tried with some success, but the perfect vell has not been found. It is mainly up to us song leaders to locate it, for we have go many chances to try them all cyt. Everr few davs we get & new 1iea or hear a suggestion, and even the least promising is tried. If some newspaper would start a contest to get the best proposal from the general public, that also might help. In the meantime we feilows are hustling to make Uncle Sam’s army the greatest band of group singers in the history of the world. MORE SONG LEADERS NEEDED The kind of man that generally develops into the best song leader is a first class business man with a good head on his shoulders who hag a liking for music. He doesn’t need to know anything about music, in the generally accepted meaning of musical knowledge. Primarily he must be a man full of punch and pep, a good cheer leader, prefer- ably also a good “kidder” and— most important of all—he must en- joy the work. Never have I seen a successful soldier song leader who didn’t get more fun out of a “ging” than any other man present. Becoming a soldier song leader 18 an entirely different process from learning how to head a choir or glee club. In the latter instances the men have gathered together voluntarily for the purpose of sing- ing, and therefore are interested before you start. It i8 necessary to arouse the soldier's interest, for he has other things in mind gen- erally at the time you take hold of him. He may not care a rap about singing, but you must learn to make him do so. Another big difference is that the soldier song leader must learn to “eat dust.” He must develop his wind so he can go along on big hikes, and he must get used to keeping himself at top speed every minute he works throughout a long day, for the moment he lets his forcefulness sag he becomes totally ineffective. SING AT BOXING SHOWS ‘The bunch that puts the most into its singing is the crowd at a big boxing tournament in camp. The men are all keyed up by the excitement of the occasion and, when you lead them from the ring you don’t have to beg them. A box- ing crowd generally wants “We're going to get the Kaiser” first, but a bit later they always call for “The Long, Long Trail.” That’s the real heart song of the army—*"The Long, Long Trail.” This song was writfen more than a year before we gut in the war and didn’t attract any more atten- tion at the time than a lot of other songe. But now it is coming into its own. Twenty years from now it will be remembered as the heart song of the big war. For its type of song it 18 just as strong with the soldier as “Over There” is for its type. It embodies the spirit of the day—the boy going away on his noble mission, later to come home perhaps to his wife and sweet- heart—-as no other present day song does.

M. C. A. badge on her arm, and a gas mask at band, ready for instant use. She had gone so near the firing line in her tour of the American camps that she has looked on while a battery of Indiana boys fired upon the Boche. Afraid? Not she! Misa Seller calls the booming of the gums “the most glorious noise I ever heard.” Even the music of her beloved Mary dred Over there she Girl Harpist Who Plays for Soldiers Guns Make “Glorious Noise” .

Here is what she LIVEH HAS AN EXCITING DAY “I'm sitting on a sunny hillside . ‘somewhere in France, write letters under the most dis- tracting conditions. On one side of me a military funeral for some American soldiers is in progress. They’ve just finished playing the Chopin Funeral March, and the procession is winding down the hill. DOn the next hillside some big guns are booming at the Boche, and I can see the black smoke rising from the forest where the guns are concealed. The anti-aircraft guns are crackling every once in awhile. Altogether it i3 an exciting day along the front “We asked the Faris office to be sent as near the front line trenches as women are allowed to go. We got it! My experiences of the last four weeks are priceless. 1 mever ireamed of playing for such audi- snces. The response you get sim- oly sweeps you off your feet. And 111 the time I feel that I'm gaining nore than I'm giving. “There are men over here who nave not seen an American girl for sver a year. All they ask is just to stand around and look at you. How they love to tell you about letters from home, and to show you their photograph albums! About a thousand have told me that I look axactly like their wives or sisters or sweethearts. The good humor and wit of the soldiers is marvel- sug, even in moments of great peril. TONIC TO THE FRENCH “1 thought that when [ got this near the front I would find a very tense and dramatic atmosphere. Wot at all. There is an air of sasy trying to ; MARY SEILER monchalance about the way things are done, and the men show won- derful poise and confidence. The attitude of good cheer among the Americanc is a wonderful tonic to the tired French. “Perhaps the one outstanding trait of our boys is their curiosity. During shell fire or an air raid, they stand out in the open to watch the fight, and can hardly be induced to take shelter. They want to see everything. “The girl who is traveling with me is Grace Kerns of New York City. She is a soprano soloist at St. Bartholomew’s, and has one of the most glorious voices I have ever heard. I have my little Irish harp, with which I play her ac- companiments, and harp solos. Most of our programs we give out doors, because it is impossible to get the crowds inside. Our audi- emces number from 200 to 3,000. We give two programs a day, mo- toring from our hotel or billet to the various camps. We usually have luncheon and dinner each day with the officers. GIRLS TREATED ROYALLY “The flattering attentions that an Americap girl receives over here are beyond words! To say that we are treated royally would be putting it mildly. “While touring our last sectlon we spent a very interesting eve- dreds of shelled S “We have motored through hun- villages, where there is literally not omne stone standing upon another. Even this destruction cannot spoil the beauty of the French landscay Anythirg lovelier than motoring through France at this time of year when the poppy fields are all aflame would be hard to imagine. Out in the fields you see women who appear to be at least minety years oid doing all the agricultural wo The young women of France you hardly see at all. They are working in shops and munitions plants. SEES ARTILLERY IN ACTION “While in this gection I have met Colonel Robert H. Tyndall, of Iu- dianapolis. His regiment is the 160th Field Artillery. One evening T got a real thrill when he allowed me to see his artillery in action. He says I am the first American girl to see an Indiana battery firing upon the Boche. The guns were French howitzers “155’s.” They made the most glorious noise I've ever heard. “Miss Kerns and I lunched with the Colonel and his staff at their mess, and I met a number of In- dianapolis officers. A fine lot they are, wonderfully proud of their reg- iment and of their Colonel. “The army officers speak of the work the ‘Y’ is doing with the warmest praise. Out in the front the secretaries are doing heroic service. They face the same dan- ger from shells and gas as the soldier, and they stick to their post till the very last moment. Any- one who thinks that a Y’ worker has a soft snap is wrong. Their work is just as strenuous and im many places as perilous as the sol dier’s. TOO FEW ENTERTAINERS “ “The canteen workers are doing a valuable work, and the enter- tainers are all too few. Our book- ings have followed right behind Elsie Janis. Maximilian Foster and Clarence Budington Kelland, the writers, were among the Y. M. C. A. men who came over on our boat. The life over here simply can- not be described! It has to be lived. Tt is not at all what I ex- pected. Tt is bigger in every wav. The opportunities for service are infinite and the human dividends are simply encrmous.” Arel v
