THE
CONTESTS FORJWTRIOTIC SONGS
Newspapers and Societies Displaying
Energy in That Direction
Much
Those ambitious song writers who have been
grinding out patriotic songs in great numbers
and having them refused by regular publishers
may find hope in the contest now being con-
ducted by various newspapers. At the present
time in New York the New York Herald, the
Globe and Life are all conducting contests to
bring forward new patriotic songs, and the
newspapers and societies in other sections of the
country are conducting contests to the same end.
WRITES NEW PATRIOTIC SONG
B. A. Koellhoffer, 560 South Tenth street,
Newark, N. J., has composed and published a
new patriotic number of much merit, entitled:
"Tribute to the National Guard, Army and
Navy." The number has been particularly well
received by the trade and highly praised by those
who have heard it, and is now being considered
for recording purposes by music roll and .talk-
ing machine companies. The number is in a
sense the result of inspiration, for Mr. Koell-
hoffer's son is a member of the First Regiment
New Jersey National Guard now on duty.
NEW BALLAD BY^CHAS. K. HARRIS
It seems as though Chas. K. Harris, ever so
often, writes a song which he can put in his
permanent catalog, the latest of these being
"A Study in Black and White." To follow up
his success he has written a new high-class num-
ber entitled "Light o'Love," which will probably
prove very successful.
Chas. K. Harris is the publisher of the big
Van & Schenck's hit, "Miss America," of which
that popular singing team are the authors, and
which is proving one of the most successful
numbers in their repertoire.
Wolfe Gilbert has kept in line with the ma-
jority of song writers and given us a patriotic
number. The Gilbert song is published by the
Globe Music Co., and is entitled "Let the Flag
Fly."

signments of goods to the other side are not as
heavy as formerly because of danger from non-

is shared by many dealers. Some new music
