Americans even though not one out of
hundred can sing it all the way
through.
Unlike the Revolution and the War
of 1872 the Mexican war produced no
great outstanding song which has sur
vived to the present time. In the
main. his conflict saw the revival of
the favorite songs of the two previous
wars mentioned, although the soldiers.
both volunteer and regular, seized up
on the opportunity offered by various
events in the Mexican campaigns to
compose crude songs which were sung
to familiar tunes.
mo other war in our country's his
tory produced as many songs as the
Civil war;" says Lieutenant Dolph
1.-THE struggle lasted so long and the
feeling on each side was so intense
that hundreds of songs of all degrees
IF merit appeared Some Of them
seemed destined to be sung as long as
the American nation lasts, for such
songs as Battle Cry of Freedom,

tic, Bonnie Blue Flag Maryland

mot all of these songs were sung BY
the soldiers, hoWever-nor were they
intended to be-" writes the author of
Sound off p MANY were wholly un
suitable for camp or marching songs,
or were too far removed from the in
innate details and stark realities of
a soldiers daily life. AS a
rule, sentimental songs were not in
great favor. AS the first wave
Of feeling passed, and men settled
down to the serious business of fight
ing, marching, sleeping in the mud and
rain, and living on SOW belly and
beans, their attention was more and
more focused on the immediate details
of their daily life. 1t was then that
true soldier songs were born"
For it was at this time that the es
sential character Of the American sol
dier began to assert itself-his ability
to make jest about danger and hard
ship and to seek an emotional outlet
by singing satirically about himself
and his uncomfortable life. That quail
ity became even more apparent liz the
songs of the Spansh-American war
and those Of the Philippine insurrec
ton. And it reached its full flower
in the World war. The fact that
"Hinky Dinky, Parley-Voo" is the out
standing survivor Of the soldier songs
sung "over there" reflects as nothing
else can the spirit of the young man
who took part in the Great Adventure
of 1918. And lest anyone deplore
the fact that the World war songs
breathed none of the crusading spirit,
let him consider these words of the au.
thor of Sound OFF,: "Perhaps, after
all, it is blessing that these soldier
songs of II and Is were light non
sensical, and even bawdy. AS long as
soldiers sing these kinds of songs they
| do not become cynical and bitter, as
did the French, Germans and English.
| The Americans came out of the war
with the ability quickly to regain their
normal perspective. No feeling of hate
rankles in their breasts today. This
| fact alone is worth more than all the
war; songs that have ever endured"

bit of rest =" His song was q hit!
The oldest American war ballad. ac-
cording to Lieutenant Dolph, was
"Lovewell's Fight" written about lbs
in commemoration of Captain Love-
wells victory over the Indians at Pig
wacket on May of that year. Just
before the Revolution the Americans
frequently wrote ballads to express
their ideas about tea and taxation.
These ballads, however, were not near
ly so popular among the soldiers Of
the Continental army as were songs
which dealt with events of the war
itself. such as the famous Battle of
the Kegs" Mad Anthony Wayne"
Brave Paulding and the Spy"
"Nearly all of these Revolutionary
songs were sung to tunes borrowed
from the British" says the author.
This was rat raj, for soldier songs
are generally Sung to old, well-known
tunes, or to popular music of the day.
1t was not until many years
after the Revolution that we began to
have a national music of our own"
1t is interesting to note that the one
outstanding song of the Revolution.
the one which has survived longest in
popular knowledge and which was the
basis for other songs during all our
wars, down to and including the Civil
war, was written originally by Brit
ish army surgeon. This was the famous
"Yankee Doodle"
Here is the story of its origin as
Lieutenant Dolph tells it: 'In the sum-
mer or early fall of 1853, during the
French and Indian war, a British army
surgeon, Doctor Richard Shuckburgh,
who had spent most of his time In
America, was encamped with General
Abercrombie on the old Van Rensso-
laer estate, near Albany. A number
of provincial troops were modifying
there. Their rustic appearance was so
Iudicrous that Doctor Shuckburgh, who
was quite a wit wrote a song about
them and set it to an old tune which
we now know as Yankee Doodle"
To the men who served in France
a decade ago and sang of 'Madelon.'
it may be a surprise to know that
"Madelon" was a soldiers sweetheart
long before the World war. In proof
of that consider this stanza from n
soldier song which appeared in one
of the earliest American songsters and
was probably sung in the War of 1872:
Could you to battle march away
| And leave me here complaining?
| Pm sure t would break my heart to stay
When you are gone campaigning.
All, non, non, nom
Pauvre Madclon
| Could never leave her lover!
All, nOn non, non!
Pauvre Madelon
| Would go with you all the world over.
Although the War of 1872 did not
produce many soldier songs-mainly
because the army didn't have much to
boast about until near the end of the
war! But there is one exception to
this statement and it is lone genuine
soldier song that will live as long AS
the republic-The Star Spangled Ban
ner.'" For this product of the inspira-
ton of a. volunteer soldier, Francis
Scott Key, has become our national
anthem and had thrilled millions OF

QUALITY WOOL COMES
FROM GOOD SHEEP
Culling of Low Producing Animals
Essential, Says Report of
Government.

Uncle Sam has been investigating
sheep that have whiskers and found
that the old theory that such animals
produce more wool unit than others,
untrue.
.'Tradionally," the department of
agriculture says" sheepmen have be-
'ieved that the best sheep have COW
erings of wool over their faces. An
other common belief was that folds
around the neck and shoulders of a
sheep was an indication of fleece
of superior quality and value"
Now, it is certain from expert
ments and observation, that neither of
these beliefs is true.
another idea commonly held, the
department says, was that weather
exercised controlling influence in
quality and quantity of WOOL"
The department says its records
''have disproved the first two ideas,
which were widely believed" 1t adds:
weather does make some difference
in wool production but there is much
more difference between individual
sheep in one season than there is be-
tween flocks in different seasons. This
points the wisdom of constant eulling
low yielding ewes and selective breed
ing for heavy fleece production"
Application of these facts on the
sheep ranges" the department adds,
rs returning to sheepmen each year
many times the cost of the research"

it, in which they slept, as well as any
number of other details of their every
day life.
In this respect the soldiers of tire
American army, ever since there was
such an institution, have been no diff
ferent from the soldiers of other na
tons. What is a typical American sol
dier song? The answer is: there is
no such thing! The type of song that
was popular among our soldiers of one
period, the soldiers of another war
would scorn to sing. With but few
exceptions, perhaps, the songs which
were sung during one war are all but
forgotten by the time another war
comes along. For the soldier song is
one of the most ephemeral things in
the world.

in one volume the greater part of our
soldier songs from Yankee Doodle to

from the earlier teaching l had re-

the lecture he showed his bitter anti

other people feel as I did. 1t seemed
to me that l could look right into
the breast of old Tillman and see
his heart that was rotten with hate.
I met other public characters when
l was a bellboy in the Continental
Hotel and the Walker House. One
evening a tall, dignified man, sitting
with his feet against a railing in
front of the hotel, asked me as l
passed: "My boy, do you know who
l am? "No, who are you?" said
l. He answered: 81 am the world
renowned Beerbohm Tree, the great
English actor!" I looked at him;
didn't know what he was driving at.
I met more interesting people,
whom I could better understand.
There was Lightning Calculator,
who stopped at the hotel; my lack
of ability in arithmetic caused me to
think he was one of the worlds
wonders. Then there was John L.
Sullivan, who came through with a
boxing combination; with him was
Slade, big Maori who came over to
fight him, but Sullivan could lick
a corral full like him. Sullivan l
liked better than any of the rest.
His show was the Walker Opera
House, in which / had good seat.
l saw him box with Herbert Slade,
and knock out a man who tried to
win the thousand dollars that he was
giving to any one who would stand
up against him during four rounds.
DR.. Zuckertort, the great chess
player, stopped at the Walker House,
and while there played Simultaneous
ly seventeen games blindfolded, which
| thought most remarkable feat.
1t so inspired me that 1 started then
and there to learn chess.
