MusicLovers Amazed by
Edison's Daring Test
All told, 2.,000,000 musk lovers in Canada and
the United States, on more than Isoa different
occasions, have. gone to one of their local theatres
filled with curiosity regarding a startlingly novel
musical recital to which they had been invited.
In each case they
have come away arnaz-.
ed at the almost unbe-
lievable demonstration
which had taken place
before their very eyes,
and ears ---the most
daring test of a phono-
graph or tanking
• machine ever made.
They saw a noted Edi -
`s4 -4p--mo+''' son artist stand beside
sso-
Tie r t EDISO1N
"The Phonograph with a Soul"
•
they heard the instrument sing in the artist's voice ---in other
words, recreate her voice, . Presently the artist herself began to
sing note for note with. the instrument. Musically trained ears
strove in vain to distingui: h the faintest shade of difference between
the actual voice and the Re -Creation. Then, suddenly and with-
out warning, the artist ceased singing, leaving the instrtunent to
continue the air alone. Only by watching the artist's lips did the
audience know that she had ceased singing and that they heard the
instrument alone. This is the famous Edison Tone Test.
Only Edison makes this test. Only Edison tan make this test,
because only the New Edison actually re-creates the human voice
and' the music of human -played instruments with every tone quality
and every shade of expression. Ordinary phonographs, and talking
machines, merely reproduce.
1f you have not been fortunate enough, to witness an Edison
roue rest, you may at least hear Edlson's wonderful new pho- .168

Use Dollars as Bullets
If my dollar will drive the enemy back

spare into a Victory Bond, to help old
Canada finance its own war burdens, anti
secure for Great Britain a plentiful supply
of foodstuffs.
For it is not the rich man's pile that
counts most, It is the accumulation of
purchases made by farmers and rural
business men from every corner of Canada
that swells the total and strikes terror to
the heart of our enemy,
When dollars can light, let us wheel
every one of them into line and so hasten
the peace that must come when our gold,
en impact strikes the front line. He is a
patriot and helper indeed who saves for
Victory Bonds,

"British drums were beating through
the streets of Lille this morning."—Cable
despatch, October 18.
British drums were beating through the
streets of Lille this morning,
As the tender light of autumn was with
gold her spires adorning;
And happy hearts kept rhythm with the
beating of the drums,
While voices sobbed and quavered; "The
Liberator comes!"
The muffled tramp of infantry was dying
in the distance,
The heavy-footed Hun had gone—had
fled without resistance;
He had seen his doom approaching and
had taken timely warning;
So the British drums were beating through
the streets of Lille this morning!
Aye, the British drums, and Belgian, Am-
erican and French
And Italian, roll a fanfare o'er valley,
hill and trench;.
From North Sea down to Switzerland the
freedom chorus runs
At the heels of vanquished Hindenburg
and his cowering, flying Huns.
"The Day" the Germans toasted in their
arrogance and scorning
Is ushered in, thank Heaven, by the beat-
ing drums this morning;
But it is the Day of Justice, and of Vic-
tory nought can hinder,
For the allied drums are playing Uncon-
ditional Surrender!
The Day! the Day! God bless it; it has
come at last in glory
To make an end for ever of proud Des-
potism's Story;
It will see the vaunting war lords and
their Junkers ground to powder,
And will hear the world's Te Deum swell-
ing loud and ever louder!
