Just now it needs martial music and plenty of it. Since the United States entered the war The Evening World has still oftener urged its long-standing contention that the city ignores a sound civic investment in failing to provide more firat- eless band music in public places. Just after the first parade of the National Army lads tember this newspaper said again: We need more bands along with the fags, the soldiers and aatiors in the streets, the posters and the other things thet | remind busy New Yorkers of the great fact of war, It fe not for parades alone. Everybody knows the in- spiring thrill of band music even in a, busy square, heard above the surrounding street traffic. Guch thrills expand the spirit. They mean more to the development of patriotism and j true feeling than Americans have ever consciously realized. | Bofore the nation was at war The Evening World frequently ‘arged that a band playing in City Hall Park at the noon hour each week day would repay ite cost in something bigger than popularity, Now martial music and national airs can do a hundredfold more toward filling Americans with the spirit they need to } (ight, work and win. During recent months, in the interest of recruiting, Liberty! Loans, War Savings, ete., noon-hour concerts in City Hall Park have, demonstrated their power to attract and influence thousands of persons. The demonstration haa taken place right under the noses of! the Mayor and members of his official household in the Oity Hall. It is not surprising, therefore, to find the city’s present adminis-| tration seeking popular approval by inaugurating new series of park concerts in the parks of the various boroughs. ‘ Tt is to be hoped the new programme will broaden and develop! into a lasting institution that will mean, daily, open-air music for! New Yorkers during summer in a dozen favorite park centres. In Central Park, particularly, opportunities for out-of-door music have been deplorably neglected—more so than ever during the last two or three years, because of @ policy of municipal che: je-paring which has chosen to regard park concerts as aesthetic luxurie No view could be more unsound. Older and more experienced municipalities than New York have found it worth while to appro- priate annually substantial sums for popular open-air music in public parks. This is one of the many means by which Paris has taken care to foster that spirit of passionate loyalty, admiration and love with which Parisians from childhood regard their city. How can any community add to its civic strength more cheaply or surely than by providing pleasures at which its citizens gather day after day in numbers and feel themeelves a favored part of a favored people? Central Park is one of the finest of its kind. But does Ni York yet appreciate it in the sense of making the most of it? Some of those young New Yorkers now in France who, beforo they come home, will visit Paris and maybe Aix-les-Bains—what wiil they say to Central Park when they next see it on a summer afternoon ? Where are the dozens of little cafes and tea houses along the walks and beside the lakes? Where are the tables under the trees where one can sit and sip coffee or lemonade at trifling charges? Where are the restaurants where thousands lunch and dine on terraces at prices to fit all pocketbooks? Most of all—where is the music, the big bands, the special orchestras, the scores of tiny restaurant and cafe orchestras that make centres of liveliness and gaiety at a hundred different points? It will be interesting to hear these travelled young veterans from France as they sit on ashard bench in the Mall and gaze at an empty band stand. What is the use of pretending that Americans are different from other civilized peoples either in not liking simple pleasure out of doors in the most attractive forms in which it can be offered them, or in failing to feel the special thrill and inspiration which open-air music, and particularly martial music, can give? neccesary a ae a oem Sgn i igi 4 , time Marat heard her voice in : ta i ny girls all danger, eh?” suggested Mr, Jarr,|"¢Ver does to get familiar with that | third he never forgot her memory, even Only a week or two ago New Yorkers applauded from their| being called out into the world ot {down in the slums and preaches to 16- “Well, while Iam not an alarmist, 1|S0rt of people, The janitor Js a/the ante-chamber, and he told bI8| ine midst of other loves , hearts the superb playing of the famous French band—the Musique| work on account of the war, horant, Pv ahespbesy Birls the dec | think we should not cniy discuss but|TWdY., I have heard him swearing | servants to let her in.
