RAG |ME WINS
WORLD VICTORY
English Press Concludes That
What Is Scoffed at Is a
Fascinating Craze.

LONDON, Oct. 12.-Ragtime music,
which some hold first flowed brokenly
out from the darkies' cabins in Amer

conquer the world.
This music of the syncopated time
has already captured England.
1t has been said truly that "the hard =
est thing in the world is to persuade a
Briton to do anything he never did
before and the next hardest is to get
him to quit doing that thing after he
has once started"
The Briton scoffed at ragtime for
years; now it has become a craze, a
passion with him. Most gravely II .

Heading them, an American brought
up on ragtime has a mental picture of
an old man dissecting a butterfly.

of Ragtime," and gives interviews with
many London musicians on the fas-
cination of this new and wonderful Tilt
America has again turned a trick and
the whole busy world Is humming its
new music, which rushed just as fast
as It's modern hustling life"
The Daily Mall in a column article
on its editorial page refers to it as
the musical ideal of American life, >
and goes on saying: "A craze, a boom
If you will, but nevertheless a force in
our social life. Every tune is like g

novelties it contains the virtue OF vi

The ability to sing and play ragtime
has cost the British army a fine SOL

Field Marshal Sir Evelyn Wood and
nephew Of Mrs. Charles Stewart Par

before she married the famous Irish

the army.
Captain Wood, who has good voice
and plays the piano well, used to revive
his fellow officers by singing to them
around the camp fires of Colenso and
Spion Kop during the Boer war.
He accompanies himself on the piano
and is loudly applauded. His salary Is
