vide new choruses new amusements new diversion new moral and physical inspiration for
Uncle Sam's fighting front. Soasa Iba famous band-master who has voluntarily given his
services is authority for the statement that mask and song ara fina for the morale of the
Army. Your contribution to the War Camp Community Recreation Fond among other
