NATIONAL SONG
County Has Delayed Action
on Matter for Century

Washington, April 30.-After nearly
a century and a half of delay the
United States seems about to acquire
a national anthem.
H"The Star Spangled Banner" would
be adopted as the officially recognized

ton by Representative McFadden of

provide that officers and men shall

Paris. April 3o.-At last a French
correspondent has found a weak spot

this first discordant note is the special

French front, who happened to be
near the American section which had
the first real fight with the enemy and
so paid them a visit. He writes:
