WRITTEN MUSIC IS NOT NEW
Custom of Preserving Melodies in
Tangible Form Was First OBJ
served by the Greeks.

There were great many steps In
the development of the present form
Of writing music. The custom Of writ
ing melodies rather than trusting to
the uncertain help of memory for their
preservation was first observed by the
Greeks Indeed, at one time, the pre-
serving of music in tangible. visible
form was deemed so necessary as TO
be the subject Of special papal bull.
The writing out OF music was ac
complshed by the use of many differ
ent sets of signs and symbols, in the
various countries. Nothing really
definite and lasting, though, was done
in this direction until the fifteenth CEN
fury, when the first real printing of
melodies and harmonies was accom-
plished in Germany. This was made
possible by the invention of the NOV
able metal types.
The prints thus produced werei re-
markably clear and neat at first. but
they later became gradually more and
more imperfect, which degeneration
finally led to the invention of copper
plate printing in 1882, by Simon We
rovic, an Italian.--New York Globe.

How Germany Made War
on Us in Time of Peace
BY w. A. SCOTT Director OF the Course of Commerce.
University of Wisconsin

In the short period OF three years
Germany transformed the United
States from a friend and admirer into
an enemy at war. This fateful change
was due to a number of causes. OF
these the most widereaching was the
war OF the German government on our
country during q time when we, ID our
blindness, supposed we were at peace.
The war in Europe was not three
months old when there was established
In New York an Advertising agency"

II was learned today that at least

those that have already been announced
