upon tomtoms.
Behind the foot-pllGrlms came a
body OF Egyptian cavalry with drawn
swords, mounted upon beautiful Arab
ponies and followed by n mountain
battery OF native artillery. An
Egyptian military band came next
making a prodigious din. and after
them marched II splendid body Of
Egyptian infantry, their bayonets glis-
tening in the brilliant sunshine. They
were followed by Il civilian band,
making weird noises in an effort to
reproduce some OF the popular native
airs.
Then came the "holy carpet"

opy borne on the back OF camel
Two more camels followed, on one Of

on a British ship en- route to Jeddah.
whence II was conveyed to Mecca by

Ipngerich Smith of 1913 Spruce street
of Philadelphia.
An interesting feature Is that Will
liam E. Diehl, sales manager for the
local concern of the Corbin Screw
Corporation Of "a Cedar street, this
city, is son of Captain Thomas ].
Diehl, the composer of the song.
The verses are so appropriate to the
present occasion, so suitable in this
war period in which no real stirring
war song has been composed, that Mrs.
Smith is making plans to have the
song, words and music, dedicated to
the present warning period and given
to the country.
According to data of his daughter,
Captain Diehl served with high hon.
ors in the Civil War until his resigna-
ton in 1868. His retirement was due
to a severe attack of typhoid fever
with which ne was taken while : on
duty before Gettysburg, having never
fully recovered from the attack. When
the war broke out he was a member
of the First City Troop, of Philadel-
phia and served with such distinction
that he was awarded a commission as
captain and was appointed aide to
General David B. Birney of the twen-
ty-third Pennsylvania Regiment. He
wrote the song "Our Color Guard" in
thu terrific fighting which ensued
through the earliest days of the great
struggle. The men in blue became
attached to the song and it spread
like wild fire on a prairie through the
ranks Of the Northern forces until all
knew the refrain. 1t was accepted as
the soldiers regulation rallyin8~ song
and at that time was one of the most
popular songs out.
In some unexplained manner the
original copy possessed by the family
was lost and remained SO for half a
century. Looking through some old
papers and manuscripts recently Mrs.
Smith found the original sheets. She
| is anxious to have the song, written
| by her father, adopted at this time
because of her son, Edward !. Smith,
Jr, who is doing his bit by serving his
| country. He is stationed at Camp
| Meade, Admiral, Md, as member of
| the new National Army.
The Diehl family has played a con-
spicuous part in American history for
more than 200 years. Mrs Smith was
! the founder of the Philadelphia Chap
ter, Daughters of the American Rev
! olution land was it's regent four years
ago.
The words of the song follow:
Now onward; onward! let it wave,
! Amid the cannons roar,
Borne by the noble and the brave,
/ Through streams of crimson gore;
Amid the battles fiercest strife,
! There ever let it be
And guard it with devoted life,
That standard of the free.
| CHORUS
| Hurrah boys! Hurrah boys
! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!
| Onward! Onward! ever be
| "Our Color guard" supplied.
| STAND by those colors" many an eye
Is looking up today
! To see that glorious emblem fly
Where danger checks the way
| STAND by those colors!" many soul
Will gain new strength to die
! If in the red tides fiercest roll
Those colors proudly fly.
On! color guard! Oh noble, brave
! How one by one they fall
| But not their fate nor yet the grave
! Our brave lads can aDpalf
| Now from the ranks leap eagerly,
| Like groom to meet bride,
