PRISONERS' APPEAL FOR MUSIC.
(TO THE EDITOR OF THE SPEOTATOR."I
Sin.,—A letter came from Germany a few days ago and ran thus "Without putting you to any expense, would it be in any way
possible for you to send us out a few second-hand instruments no longer used, as we arc hoping to start a little band to try and keep our hearts up, and some music suitable for Tommies ' and not too classical ? " The writer is a bandsman who has been a prisoner for many months. The funds of Music in War Time were not raised for such a purpose, and therefore they cannot be spent thus ; but a eolhotion of musical instruments and suitable music is being made, and will you help us by sending along anything that you can spare as well, and we will see that your gift is despatched with the others to cheer their hearts in Germany ? The difficulties of transit confine our energies to sending out only the smaller instruments, such as cornets, piccolos, elarionets, and flutes (military band instruments, high pitch). We should be deeply grateful for a gift of any of.these: Please address': " Music in War Time, 13 Prince's Gate, S.W."- We are, Sir, &c.,
Tutonona. G. CHAMBERS, ALEX 4NDER GODDARD, Mrs. GOTTO, Fccrelaries Professional Classes War nellef*Conna.
