the staff of the defiant FIT. McHenry.
AS the dawn advanced, he saw the
flag still flying. He has made the
world realize what the words of "The
Star-Spangled Banner" mean to us.
In the Civil war, both federal and
Confederate troops had wide reper-
tory from which to select. On the
northern side. for instance, the boys
in blue could sing not only John
Browns Body" or 1.-THE Battle Hymn
Of the Republic" but such songs as
when Johnny Comes Marching Home
Again." 1.-The Battle Cry of Freedom"
Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys Are
Marching" "Just Before the Battle,
Mother" Babylon Is Fallen" and
Marching Through Georgia"
Dixie" with Maryland, My Mary
land" was the favorite song of the
confederacy. OF the latter, nowadays.
we hear little, but Dixie" is played as
frequently as any other song Of the
stormy days of. the Civil war and no
less in the North than in the South.
Indeed, it's vigorous, impelling strains.
wherever played, North or South, are
invariably greeted with applause If
not with cheers. No patriotic celebra-
ton, regardless of the Mason and Dix
on line, is complete without it.
Southern troops We're fond, also, of
singing "Lorena," song notable, as
was "Just Before the Battle, Mother"
especially for its note of plaintiveness.
Certainly about neither Is there any
suggestion of martial characteristics.
Both were the favorite melodies of
soldier quartets and were distinctly
camp songs.
Dixie" can hardly be looked on as
a war product. Maryland, My Mary
land" however, in words though not
in music, was inspired by the great
conflict James R. Randall, a native
Marylander, in 1851 was in Louisiana
when word was received Of the attack
In Baltimore on the Massachusetts
troops. That night, alone in his room.
he wrote the words, and they were
published few days later in New
Orleans newspaper. A Richmond pa
per copied the verses and group Of
Richmond young women, reading thesn,
were impressed, and began to sing
them to the German tune Of "Tannen-
baum, o Tannenbaum." So, like 'The
Star-Spangled Banner" this song of
the Confederacy borrows its music
from a foreign source.
Still no survey Of the past, however
comprehensive 1t may be, will serve to
inform us what the new army, assem-
bled on the border, will make Its cam
paign song. The only thing SO far evil

TESTIMONY FROM ILLINOIS.

According to the records of the po'
lice officials in Illinois dry cities have
IS per cent less crime to contend with
than wet cities of the same size. Au
rora, while under the saloon admins
tration, had 1,O05 arrests for drunken
ness, while in dry Rockford. with the
same population, there were only 719
arrests. Wet Joliet had 1852 arrests
for drunkenness while dry Decatur had
966. Both towns are of the same size,
Still another instance was the 1919 ar
rests in East St Louis as against 45A
in dry Galesburg. The reports show
that the majority of these arrests was
due to the introduction of liquor from
the surrounding wet territory.

NKD from its base on the sandy
~ beach before Manila and, a
few hours later, the flag of
Spain had fiOated for the last time
over the Philippines. An incident of
that day which still dwells in the
memories of those who witnessed it
though 1t may have no place in the
pages of history-occurred when
volunteer regiment, charging the enc
my trenches, came suddenly under n
heavy fire from n Spanish force con-
ceaied on its flank. For moment,
the regiment wavered. Quickly, how
ever, 1t recovered. changed its front
slightly and went on.
Brief though that period of hesita-
ton was. there was time enough for
the regimental band, still carrying its
instruments, to detuch itself, by whose
order no one ,emed to know, from
part of the line to the rear, swing
sharply out into the open, halt and
begin to play. A fair target for the
enemy's flanking fire, the musicians
stood unsheltered and, calmly, at the
word from their leader, broke into
the familiar strains of the song Of
songs of that campaign-"There'l Be
n Hot Time In the Old Town Tonight"
Above the crack of the rifles and the
deeper note of the artillery, the band
made itself heard for quarter of u
mile along the American line. And
the soldiers, pushing forward, an
swered with cheer, caught up the re-
frain and, singing it as they charged.
forced the Spanish line backward and
captured the intrenchments.
1t seems, in way, to be a charac-
teristic of the Anglo-Saxon fighting
man to prefer trivial, tripping meas
ures and brisk, almost flippant live
liness in their battle songs to anything
suggestive of stateliness, marching
rythm, but, aside from that, whether
1t possesses any other virtue, the An
go-SaNon soldier neither inquiries nor
cares. More than 100000 American
soldiers have assembled along the Rio
Grnnde. No doubt, by common con-
sent, on common impulse, coming, no
one knows whence this army will
adopt "song of songs" of the cam
paign. 1t would be decidedly unusual
if it did not.
yankee Doodle IS our heritage in
the way of song from the war of the
revolution. From the war of 1912, we
have the "Star-Spangled Banner"
From the Civil war our heritage Is
greater, and, unquestionably, richer
From the Spanish war, we must make
the most we can of "a Hot Time"
Slngularly enough, though, there is very
little recorded about the song sung
most commonly in the Mexican war.
The soldiers of '46 marched and
camped and fought to the words and
tune of "Green Grow the Rushes." And
for the adoption Of that song, they
had no more reason-sensibly speak
ing-than their fathers had when, in
Revolutionary day, they lifted their
voices in the lightsome measures of
"Yankee Doodle" AS song, 1t an
swered their purpose, filled their need,
came trippingly to their tongues and
that sufficed.
The Civil war was more productive
of genuine war songs than any other
war In our history and, possibly, more
productive in that respect than any
other war in the history of the world.
From 1t we have at least one real war
song that measures up to the highest
standards Of campaign and war songs

Here comes the flag!
"Brcathes there II maid with soul so
dead who never to herself hath said,
This Is my own, my native landT !"
There are no girls in any land more
patriotic than are Americas daughters.
The swccthcarts of soldiers head the
list. When an army man and the girl
who Is to make his dreams a reality
plight their troth. he is sure to impress
upon her the nature of his calling
that first and foremost he belongs to
his country and must ever hold himself
in readiness for II call to arms, going
wherever duty points. If there is
battle, he must meet the foe as valiant
ly as the comrades who march side by
side with him.
She accepts him under these cOndi-
tions. In the present national affair
with Mexico, to which so many brave
boys are summoned. the thought of
leaving the maiden beloved to watch,
wait and weep is the one shadow across
the soldiers readiness to engage In
action. No one man knows under what
conditions he may return or If he VIII
come back, for in the thick of battle
there are no favorites of fortune sin
glcd out to be brought forth I'M
scathed.
Dearly as they may love, there are
many soldier boys who will offer their
sweethcarts their freedom If they fear
to take the chances us to what might
happen to them in the discharge of
duty. Girls who love lightly will rend
loves ties aSundcr then and there.
Those who love with all the strength
of n noble heart will refuse to break
the bond, and to make their lover
doubly sure of them, will suggest that
the date set for their wedding which
had been planned to take place months
hence shall be changed-that the kiss
he will take with him shall be wife's
instead Of sweetheart's.
What greater proof could soldier
have of woman's Interchangeable love
This accounts for the epidemic OF army
mems weddings. No wonder they can
respond to the bugle's clarion call with
light heart and bright eyes They are
sure. past all doubling, of the loving
woman waiting with outstretched arms
to greet them when they come march-
ing home again.
There is nothing equal to wifes
love to keep a soldiers courage buoyed
