"Don't Waste Time Knocking the Kaiser, He's
Too Near 'All In' Now," Says Jacobs
Author of Famous Hymn Passed Away in
Rochester Recently
BOSTON, MASS., August 12.—Walter Jacobs,
ever since he offered a prize of $100 for a suit-
able lyric to the "National Emblem" March,
has been overwhelmed with manuscripts of
verses, seemingly everyone who could put a
jingle together being anxious to enter the com-
petition. Attention is called to the fact in Mr.
Jacobs' announcement that there has long been
a demand for a singing edition of this world-
famous march. The announcement of this offer
iriade in the new number of "Melody" is clever-
ly worded so as to quickly catch the eye and
among the "Don'ts" recommended is this:
"Don't waste time in knocking the Kaiser; he's
too near 'all in' now, and, moreover, we want
words that will outlive any present-living man."
Attention is called, by way of proving the popu-
larity of the music, that it has been reproduced
by any number of.phonograph record and music
roll concerns.
ROCHESTER, N. Y., August 12.—Dr. Joseph Henry

he retired. Professor Gilmore was the author
of the "Chautauquan Text Book of English Lit-
erature," "Familiar Chats About Books and
Reading," "Outlines of American Literature" and
other works.
