popular military air which has swept
I through the French army like wild
fire and which is even more popular
with the American troops. The name
OF the song is "Quand Madelon." and
it threatens TO become a second Tip

The popularity OF the song IS not
onfined TO the army. At any OF the
ports where Americans are debarz-
ing naval officers and sailors can be
heard singing the song or whistling
the air. The French like American
ragtime songs. They hover around
