it's appeal to those whose childhood re-

The song is just off the press and Is
the first effort of Mr.. AIfrieud in a pro-

than ragtime 1t being. In fact, as add
vertised a Southern melody. There liz
a melodious swing to the music which
well adapts itself to the words and
1t appears a composition which will be
whistled and hummed with all the en-

music, is real musician whose prin-

CHINDA IS NOT WARLIKE.
japanese Ambassador Denies Threat
He Is Alleged to Have Made.

Published statements that Viscount
Chinda. the Japanese ambassador here,
yesterday told President Wilson at the
White House that war was inevitable be-
tween America and Japan II California
enacted the pending land legislation d.
rected at the Japanese. and another pub
lished statement attributing to the am
bassador the belief that Japan would not
declare war upon the United States even
though California passes such objection
able legislation, both called forth an en-
phatic denial at the Japanese embassy
here today.
1t was said:
mo visit has been made by the am
bassador to the White House this week
nor has he ever limited to anybody al
such an alarming outcome of the situa-
ton as possible war between the two
countries. In fact, such contingency
has not been discussed in any phase. sc
that it is equally erroneous to say that
the Japanese ambassador has declared
that no war will follow. In fact. he, as
well as his government. confidently relies
upon the sympathetic attitude of the
American administration and the high
sense of Justice and fairness of the
American people to prevent legislation
adverse to the Japanese In view Of the
sible mischief. the embassy authorizes
the strongest possible contradiction OF
these statements"
