The feature of the latest publication list of
the Oliver Ditson Co., Boston, is a stirring pa-
triotic ode for men's voices by Victor Herbert
and bearing the title, "The Call to Freedom."
It is an ode that should have a wide appeal.
The new list also includes the "Teacher's Man-
ual, Third Year" of the school credit piano
course; thirty vocalizes, by Herbert Sanders;
"Brown Birdeen," a song, by A. Buzzi-Peccia;
"Scheherazade," by R. Spaulding Stoughton;
"The Kiss," by Thomas Vincent Cator; a song
from the Cantata "Song of Victory," "Sing,
for the Dawn Has Broken," by Louis Adolphe

distance; "The Time for Making Songs Has
Come," by James H. Rogers; six Russian songs,

Twine No Blossoms" and "Ah, Not With God's
Thunder"; "Under the Red Cross," a march and
one-step by T. H. Rollinson; "Under the Banner
of Victory," an addition to the series of pop-
ular marches for the piano, and a new sacred

"CHONG" PROVING VERY POPULAR
NEW BALLAD BY ERNEST BALL
Ernest R. Ball's new ballad, "To-day, To-
morrow and Forever," although only recently
issued by M. Witmark & Sons, the publishers,
is making an impression both in the professional
and sales fields. A ballad from the pen of
Ernest Ball is always assured a good measure
of popularity, but "To-day, To-morrow and For-
ever" impresses one as being one of the biggest
successes he has ever written.
The demand for oriental numbers does not
diminish as is shown by the recent additions
to the various catalogs of this type of songs.
They are also being issued exclusively as in-
strumental selections and, this, too, with suc-
cess. "Chong," one of the recent additions to
the catalog of Leo Feist, Inc., appears to be a
success both as a song and instrumental num-
ber, as it makes a very popular number for danc-
ing.
"EVENING BELLS^j\ POPULAR HIT
S. 0 . TARRANT RETURNS
Truly Shattuck, of the team of Shattuck &
O'Neill, is having good success featuring the
new song, "When the Evening Bells Are Ring-
ing." This number was only recently added
to the catalog of Artmusic, Inc., but is showing
up in a manner that stamps it as of the hit
caliber.
Samuel O. Tarrant, traveling representative
of T. B. Harms & Francis, Day & Hunter, re-
turned to New York late last week after a very
extensive trip visiting the trade. His journey
included stops in all the larger centers of the
Pacific Coast and Northwest territory, where he
found conditions excellent.

Chauffeurs in Making an Alibi in Court
Arthur Hoffman, secretary to Leo Feist,
president of Leo Feist, Inc., during the course of
the year is called upon to answer thousands of
inquiries, many of them unusual in their object.
Recently he received a message from a well-
known lawyer who stated he would like* to find
out when the song "K-K-K-Katy," which had
much popularity, was published. Mr. Hoffman,
thinking the law firm might be questioning the
value of their copyright, inquired the nature of
the reason for requesting the information, and
learned that in a suit shortly to be brought be-
fore the courts a number of chauffeurs were
prepared to swear a certain accident took place
when "K-K-K-Katy" was quite popular. The
lawyer, after receiving the information as to the
date of copyright, stated that the song at the
time of the accident was not popular, nor was
it copyrighted, so the result of the suit will rest
largely on the time the song "K—K—K—Katy"
was popular.
