given, several matters of business were consid-
ered. One thing was the advisability of those in
the association carrying the so-called ten-cent
music. There was a feeling on the part of some
that to keep this kind of music might be an in-
ducement in many cases to purchase higher-priced
music. Others were of the opinion that there
would be more trouble than profit in the venture.
F. E. Burgstaller made the proposition that the
association adopt an emblem whose slogan would
he "Study Music in Boston," and this plan found
many advocates. He exhibited a pencil sketch of
the idea and a committee was appointed by Presi-
dent Woodman to give further consideration to
attention of the association for some time, was
further taken up in its relation to sheet music,
which it is claimed should go through the mails
the same as books. While no definite action was
taken it was decided to ask the co-operation of
Congressman Weeks. It was voted to extend the
greetings of the association to the New York Pub-
lishers' Association and the Denver association,
one of the newe rorganizations in the field. On
being inducted into office President Woodman
thanked his friends for the honor conferred on
him and voiced his views on the value of co-opera-
tion and team work which found a ready response
from all the company.

(Special to The Review.)
TORONTO, ONT., February 22.—Following numer-
ous complaints from music dealers in Canada, the
Customs Department has been conducting a rigid
investigation regarding the entry of musical mag-
azines containing "music supplements" into this
country without the payment of full duty.
The February number of a prominent American
musical magazine has been held up for investiga-

SONGS BY AMERICAN COMPOSERS.
The White-Smith Music Publishing Co. is send-
ing out a Thematic catalog of songs by American
composers, which will be found most convenient
for the use of dealers and singers desirous of en-
larging their repertoire. Special attention is being
directed to Cadman's "A Knighthood Song," which
David Bispham is singing with such great success
and which he included in his program of songs by
American composers at the MacDowell Club, New

THAT the most humorous incident at the dinner
of the Music Publishers and Dealers' Association
at the Ho.tel Breslin last week was the efforts of
the orchestra leader to provide a suitable program
and still remain neutral.
THAT the poor fellow gave an audible sigh of re-
lief when the signal was given for the music to
cease and the speaking to begin. "
THAT several prominent suffragette organizations
have taken a more than passive interest in the Feist
song, "I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier."
THAT the decision of the Circuit Court of Ap-
peals in favor of the Vanderbilt Hotel in the John
Church case proved quite a shock to the hopes of
the Society of Authors, Composers and Publishers.
THAT the final outcome of the case when brought
before the Supreme Court will show whether the
society shall have clear sailing or engage in some
lively fights to maintain its principles.
THAT in view of the arguments regarding the
authorship of such numbers as "The Rosary," "Star
Spangled Banner," etc., long after the accredited
composers are dead, the successful song writers
of to-day should file proofs now for protection.
THAT Irving Berlin has written a song, "I Hear
the Voice of Belgium," with the announcement that
all royalties accruing from the sale of the piece
will be turned over to the Belgian relief fund.
THAT if the announcement secures the desired
amount of attention we may look out for a flood
of "fund songs" to prove that the idea is popular.
THAT the widow of Gustav Luders has arranged
to place the works of that popular composer for
production. The list includes the last Luders oper-
etta, "The Grape Girl."
THAT the music publishers appear to have run
into another cycle of law suits with enough actions
in sight to keep the interest at full speed for some
time to come.

By order of the Kaiser, Richard Strauss has
composed an imperial war march. The Kaiser pre-
