MEMORANDUM:
"The Battle Song of Liberty"
It's the roar and rattle of Freedom's battle
That's calling us over the sea,
Where a mighty foe has challenged us, boys—
It's up to you and to me.
So get Old Glory, we'll make 'em sorry
That they ever dreamed of this fight,
We're on our way with a Hip Hooray
Just to do what we know to be right.
Chorus
So here's to Uncle Sammy, faithful and true.
And here's to our Colors of Red, White and
Blue,
And here's to all good fellows on land and sea,
Singing the Battle Song of Liberty.
The rommanding: officer directs that the

A NEW TYPEOF WAR SONG
"Giddy Giddap. Go On, Go On," a New Song
About the Rube Recruits Just Issued by the
McKinley Music Co.—Other Features
CHICAGO, I I I . , September 24.—The McKinley
Music Co. has just brought out a new number
entitled "Giddy Giddap! Go On! Go On!" which
gives promise of being a big success. It is
the latest work of Jack Frost and the song is
written around the rube recruits starting off to
war with comedy lyrics and a catchy slam-bang
melody. Two other good patriotic songs just
ready are "When a Boy Says Good-bye to His
Mother and She Gives Him to Uncle Sam," and
"A-m-e-r-i-c-a Means I Love You, My Yankee
Land."
"Sweet Cookie Mine," already a big hit, still
continues to be a big seller and the "Ghost of
the Saxophone," which is coming up fast, ap-
pears in the Victor record bulletins for both
September and October.
Business has been exceptionally good for the
past six weeks, says D. W. Foster, manager of
the company, and songs with a patriotic flavor
such as "America First" and "When the Bonny
Heather is Blooming, I'll Return, Annie Laurie,
to You" are having a big sale.
"MY YIDDISHA BUTTERFLY" A HIT
Willie Howard Sings New Song in the "Show
of Wonders" at the Winter Garden
Willie Howard, of the famous Howard Broth-
ers, continues to inject all sorts of pep into the
Winter Garden "Show of Wonders," now on
tour to crowded houses. Last week he intro-
duced a new song, "My Yiddisha Butterfly," and
immediately scored one of the biggest hits of
his career with it. The audience laughed till
they rocked. "My Yiddisha Butterfly" is pub-
lished by M. Witmark & Sons, and is one of
the best songs of its kind on the market.
