Lieutenant John Philip Soma, di
rector of the organinilon. and .1. M.
Maurice, bandmaster, have been de
luged with applications for admis
rlon, niiiny id' them from distant parts
of the country and il is expected that
with the rapid development of the
organization it is likely to achieve dis
tinction rivaling that of Ihe famous
I'llited States Marine Corps Hand,
of Washington.
"Prom the beginning of the war
the Creat Lakes hand has demonstrat
ed lis value to the country in the na
tional emergency," Mr. Maurice said
"It has stimulated and aroused the
public and assisted in recruit inn."
The organization numbers ..six sep
arate hands, in addition to a life and
drum corps, a bugle sipiad, and a
"jaz" band. These members conic
from the cities as remote, as San
Francisco and many of them left lu
crative positions willi some of the
most widely known musical organiza
tions In the country. Texas contrib
uted Its most widely known "Jaz"
quartet. Prom Minnesota came two
widely known twins. Floyd and Fred
Frankston, nephews of the lieutenant
governor of the slate.
Captain MolTet insists that his mu
sicians are second to none and their
concerts nt patriotic rallies In near
by towns have been more popularly
received than those of any other or
ganization. A sidelight illustrative
of the high recaid in which the band
is held is contained in a remark by
Herbert Clark, famous cornetist, who
whun 'tie heard the organization play
for the. first lime, said. "There are
many new faces in your band Lieut.
Sousa." Then Lieut. Sousa, however,
explained that Ihe band was not Sou
sa's band, but. the tireat Lakes band
of the I'niled Slates naval training
station, and Its members are men en
listed in Ihe serviie of the I'niled
States navv.
With 1l,ioi! men in training on t In- j
Ktation, a part of the band is play-,
Ing in some section of the naval res
ervation thriiout prat"ically all of the'
daylight hours, To bring it to its,
high standard constant practice is j
necessary. Uamlmastor Maurice has
composed several stirring marches
Maurice's latest effort. "The Navy
and sours, as has Mr Sousa. Mi.
Forever," is a inarch dedicated to
Captain Mullet, eomtnaiidanl of the;
s'tation.
However, Mr. Sousa and -Mr. Maur i
ice assert that ihe song which is go-'
ing to lie the American Tlpperury in
the present war is one which will not
ronstaiilly remind our soldiers and!
sailors that they are palriolic,
"No good sailor likes to be lalked
to about patriotism." said Mr. Sousa
recently. "I should as soon care Hi;
be usked If I knew any thing about ,
music. The fact I hat a sailor
a uniform is the symbol that
the guardian of patriotism, it
