SONG SLOW TO WIN FAVOR
But "TIpperary" Will Be Dear to Brit ISh Hearts for Many Genera
 tions to Come.

"Tt's Long Way to Tipperary" was written in 1911 by Jack Judge, a singer in the English music halls and of pure Irish blood. friend, Harry Williams. assisted him in the work but virtually words and music are MT. Judges own. He carried the manuscript from pub fisher to publisher without success, until in 1912 he tried the London house of B. Feldman & Go. Bert Feldman liked the piece and was willing to pub fish it if MT. Judge would agree to cer- tain minor changes. One was the repe- tition of the word Hong" and another was the lengthening of the third syl- lable of the word ''Tipperary"-both toward the end of the chorus. Mir. Judge consented and the song was pub lished, as 1t also had been written, with not a thought that it would be- come two years later, a marching song of soldiers in a great war, and so known wherever English Is ''said" or 'sung" At first the song had only a slight sale. But MT. Feldman kept his confidence, and, as the story goes, one day when the composer was deploring the cool reception of the piece at Edin- burgh, the publisher said to him
 'Take my word for it, that not only Edinburgh but all the world will one day ring with your sOng."
 And it did. "Tipperary" will never be forgotten by the English. It has ar inner meaning dear to. them.

He suggested that the defense de- fault in the civil case and that in ! the criminal case sentence of one day in the custody of the marshal be imposed.
