THE Battle Hymn of the Republic"
That, as everyone knows, had it's
genesis in John Browns Body" But
what was the genesis of John Browns
Body" is something that no one
knows. 1t was first sung, so far as
information runs, by the Twelfth Mas
sachusetts regiment. And, it seems,
campmeeting melody. AS for the camp
meeting melody, it's origin is clothed
in mystery. Possibly it came as re-
suit of one of the queer musical in
spirations characteristic Of the old
fashioned campmeeting singing of an
tebellum days.
The popularity of the Battle
Hymn" was immediate. Already the
army knew the tune-a tune singular
ly suitable for masculine voices-and
it took quickly to Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe's stanzas. A few weeks later,
East and West, wherever the blue
coated soldiers of the North were in
the field the new song was sung with
an enthusiasm and fervor that were
irresistible.
Words and music were both Ameri-
can, rejecting in way that defies
analysis, yet Enthusiastically, the soul
and spirit of America, not only of the
sixties, but Of today as well. 1t was
the first song Of national significance,
moreover, that was wholly American.
yankee Doodle's'' words were set to
British music and, American though
they were, many even in Revolutionary
times refused to sing them because
of the origin of the music.
But, if there is doubt about the Brit
ish origin of the yankee Doodle" air,
there is none about the origin of the
tune to which Francis Scott Keys
"Star-Spangled Banner" is sung. 1t is
British beyond all question. In Balti-
more, in 1914, "Anacreon in Heaven"
despite the fact that it hailed from
London, was the popular song Of the
day-as it was abroad. 1t is hardly
popularity in these ragtime days, but
it struck the fancy at any rate of our
forefathers, and Baltimore knew it
well on that fateful September day
when the British fleet opened fire on
Ft. McHenry.
Aboard the enemy ship Mindeen,
Francis Scott Key, young American
attorney, was forced TO witness the 25-
hour bombardment.
In the twenty-fifth hour of the bonn
bardment, the British commander sud-
denly issued the order TO cease firing.
1t was dark, and, peer as he might,
Key could not make out through the
darkness whether the order came as
a result of surrender or not. Only
the coming of the dawn would disclose
whether the flag still futtered from
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1916-08-18

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 a wide roper
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 its 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 were fond, also, of
singing 'Lorena," song notable, as
was "Just Before the Battle, Mother"
especially for it's 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, native
Marylander, in 1861 was in Louisiana
when word was received Of the attack
in BaltimoSe on the Massachusetts
troops. That night, alone I'm his room,
he wrote the words, and they were
published few days later in a New
Orleans newspaper. A Richmond pa
per copied the verses and a group of
Richmond young women, reading them,
were impressed, and began to sing
them to the German tune of 'Tannen-
baum, o Tannenbaum." SO, like "The
Star-Spangled Banner" this soAg Of
the Confederacy borrows its music
from a foreign source.
Still no survey of the past, however
comprehensive it 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
dent is that the troops of 1916 are
slower than the troops of 81 and 80 in
adopting and popularizing a song for
the camp and for the march.

w beach before Manila and, q
I 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 a
volunteer regiment, charging the enc
my trenches, came suddenly under a
heavy fire from Spanish force con-
cealed on it's flank. For a moment,
the regiment wavered. Quickly, how
ever, 1t recovered, changed it's front
slightly and went on.
Brief though that period of hesita-
uon was, there was time enough for
the regimental band, still carrying it's
instruments, to detach itself, by whose
order no one seemed 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 thanking 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 ampaign-"There'Il Be
O 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 a quarter of a
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 q charac-
teristic of the Anglo-Saxon fighting
man to prefer trivial, tripping meas
ures and brisk, almost f1ippant live
illness in their battle songs to anything
suggestive of statelineSs, a marching
rythm, but, aside from that, whether
it possesses any other virtue, the An
go-Saxon soldier neither inquiries nor
cares. More than 100000 American
soldiers have assembled along the Rio
Grande. 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
great and 11nuuoctiopohIu r;ohor
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 a song, it an
swered their purpose, filed 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 it we have at least ore real war
song that measures up to the highest
standards of campaign and war songs
