Kbr years past his sweet strains and delightful
ditties have been played, sung and whistled in the
moments given to mirth. Who does not remember
"i|he Miller's Daughter" and "The Sleepy Canal?"
And now, in the matter of gratitude to this com-
poser, we are going still deeper into his debt, for
lie lias given us a song which, perhaps more than
aiiy other song this strenuous time has called into
being, is proving a source of strength and consola-
tion to the brave men at the front.
'From letters recently received it appears that
next to "Tipperary" Paul Rubens' "Your Flag and
Country Want You" has firmly established itself
in: the hearts of the fighting men of the Allies. It
is after all the counterpart and complement of "Tip-
perary." That famous song is typical of the ir-
repressible good humor the soldiers have shown
as ; they have swung into line, undismayed by odds

v The music and words of "Your Flag and Country
Want You," grip heart and imagination and, going
far below the surface, touch very tender chords.

full of that sweet, compelling influence, the love of

secrets of noble action and splendid achievement
everywhere. And so may it ever be! Chappell &

'The Battle of the Nations" Basis for Strong
Campaign of Publicity Among Band and
Orchestra Leaders.
The Oliver Ditson Co., of Boston, has recently
issued three interesting volumes, which constitute
part of the Half Dollar Music Series, which will
appeal to lovers of band music, viz.: "Twenty
Arias from Famous Operas for Trombone or Bari-
tone," "A Score of Operatic Melodies for B Flat
Clarinet" and "Twenty-one Arias from Twenty-
one Grand Operas for B Flat Cornet." Each of
these volumes has piano accompaniment admirably
arranged by T. H. Rollinson, an authority in this
field, and they are most carefully edited. These
volumes should prove good sellers with dealers.
A woman in London who used to make $1,800
a year by teaching music has not been able to
earn more than $15 since last July. This is a
typical case, said Mathilde Verne the other day.
She is president of the Women Musicians' Em-
ployment Fund, and she declares that the women
teachers of music have been the hardest hit of all.
