War Time Memories

The Library of Congress has COM
piled collection of world war songs
containing many fine pieces such as
cover There, !" keep the Home Fires
Burning" "Long Long Trail" "Oh,
I Hate to Get Up in the Morning."
Goodbye Broadway, Hello France"
"Oh, the Infantry" "Joan of Arc
"When Those Caissons Go Rolling
Along" and "Madelon." But for
such soldier ditties as "Keep Your
Shades Down, Mary Ann" or Xxx
k-katy, Beautiful Katy, in its re-
vamped A. E. F. version, the dough-
boy will search in vain. Evidently
the censors were unanimous in the be-
lief that the soldiers own songs,
reeking with the open-air coarseness
of the battalion minstrel and wit,
that helped him bear the agonies of
the last long mile of terrific march,
would not bear the light of public
print. Except as they linger in the
memory of the men who hiked and
fought and suffered, or sung again at
gatherings of the Legion, these old
songs are doomed to die. In days of
danger these doughboy ditties did
much to maintain the morale of the
worlds finest soldiers, but seldom will
the air ring again to the words of
keep Your Head Down, FRITZ Boy"
or Mother, Take Down Your Ser
