clans of 1.-The Star-Spangled Banner
as the national anthem.
These committees were composed,
in large par. of influential men and
women who took up the work in spir-
it of pride and created state of pub
lie opinion the fruits Of which we now
see Patriotic organizations. such as
the ons Of the Revolution, the sons
of the American Revolution, the act
i've organizations Of Daughters and
the Society of the War of 1912 coop
Grated with enthusiasm. and both
through their general and local ON
GERS did great deal to develop pub
lie opinion.
No other candidate for acceptance
as the national anthem had this sys-
tematic and vigorous backing, and no
other writer of an American patriotic
song has had so many honors paid to
him as Key, for whom congress has
erected an imposing sculptured mem
orlal In Fort McHenry and whose
lineaments are preserved In public
statuary as far from the scene OF his
la'bors as San Francisco. The Incl
dence of war so soon after the propa-
ganda caused it to have a maximum
effect.
Key Brilliant Man.
THE Star Spangled Banner was
composed by one of the best OF the
American types. Key was poet.
scholar, lawyer, public official, and
churchman, q member OF q distins
uished family on whom the researches
Of 2osterity have cast no blemish.
He wrote "The Star Spangled Ban
ner" in a burst of inspiration-"a
conflagration of the Senses" as James
Ryder Randell described his own
state of mind when he leaped from
bed and composed Maryland, MY
Maryland" 1t was written in mom-
ent of acute national stress and ex-
pressed the characteristic feelings OF
the country-not desiring to pro-
woke war, but rising with determine
! ton to take arms in defense of the
national honor when a crisis required
| it. In literary form, it is far super
Tor to most patriotic songs, and even
| without the music would find wide
popularity on it's merits as poetical
! composition.
| 1t struck the popular fancy at first,
and has held it in large measure ever
since Key had the words printed
in handful form in the office Of the
i Baltimore American, and distributed
on the streets of the delivered city
in September, 1914. before the fleet
which had been beaten off from Fort
McHenry had got out of the Chesa-
peake. 1t was sung on the stage OF
the famous Holiday Street theatre
in Baltimore and taken up with in
tense eagerness by the people there
and throughout the nation--being
heard in distant New Orleans and
Boston in space of time incredibly
short In the days before the railroad
and telegraph.
fortunately-though 1t does not
affect the main point-few incidents
in OUT national history have been
beclouded by so much misconception
of fact as the origin of "The Star
! Spangled Banner" In view of the
increased popular acceptance Of the
! song and the accumulated interest in
it's history, this may be expected to
vanish, though it has persisted so
i long.

Long Accepted in Europe as
National Song, it Has
NolD Won its Way to Su-
pyenne FAVOR in This Coun-
try

The present war has given THE
Star Spangled Banner" vogue which
it never possessed before. For the
first time it Is recognised throughout
the country as the national anthem. al
though 1t is not such in legal fact. con-
gress having repeatedly rejected pro-
posals-one as recently as three years
ago-to. make a declaration to that ef-
feet by resolution. Nearly hundred
years after Francis Scott Key wrote
the song it was prescribed by formal
orders to be played In the army and
navy on occasions of ceremony. and
that Is the extent Of it's official recog-
milton today.
Foreigners have long believed 1.-THE
Star-Spangled Banner" to be the fully
accepted national anthem Of America,
and in their armies and navies, and on
all public occasions when it is desired
to honor this country in music abroad,
the familiar air Is played. While
many on this side of the water We're
inclined over a period Of years to dis
credit the song and to advocate siren
uously the claims Of my Country. IT'S
of Thee" "The Battle Hymn of the
Republic" the standing of THE Star
| SpangIed Banner" has not been dfsput-
ed in other lands.
Even as late as the Spanish war the
"Star-Spangled Banner" had only linn
tied popular recognition. No theater
audiences stood while it was being
played in 1898, and, in fact, the gener-
al disposition at that period, at least
in the northeastern part Of the United
States. was to elevate my Country,
'Tis of Thee" to the place of honor.
Marching troops in Cuba and Porto
Rico, as all the world knows, were par
F., tial to "There'll Be Hot Time In the

other side, were the favorite inspira-
tons of the stern men who clashed on
hundred bloody fields.
| Debate is over.
| But since we have taken up arms
against Germany debate and differ

have prominently preferred nation
al anthem and what that anthem is
appear to have vanished.
! The national Star-Spangled Banner
commission laid the groundwork for
the change. It was organized in Bal
timore for the purpose Of preparing
| the centennial celebration Of Keys
song in September 1914, and for many
months before that it conducted an &C
tive and widespread propaganda. Com
mittees were formed in every state
by appointment of the governors, and
local committees were appointed by
mayors to cooperate with the com
mission. both, in diffusing interest in
the celebration and in emphasizing the
