This band (although many of is former members are row in the United States oi America andother plac2s abroad) is still as strong as ever in the service of the public of St. Croix, Itis hardly ne- gessary to sy much more here, as it is already well known that the Native Brass Band is a great favorite in Christiansted aud even 1o Frederiksted where the band has appeared several times before the public of that town, and spent some very enjoyable times, The following is taken from the ‘'St. Croix Bulletin® of May 17th. 1915, and was written by its lef®rned and immortal Editer, Mr. John T.

The surprising victory of the French Left Wing is cheerfully reparded in Lendon as a great advance toward the settlement of many Furopean difficulties, The French demund that she must maintain her sanctions in the occupied areas in order to secure the ex cution of Germa- ny’s part in the 'awes reparation plan. will probably be inimediately.
