ROTARIANS HEAR JACOBS' NEW SONG
Sing "The Battle Song of Liberty" at Meeting
at Hotel Lenox, Boston
BOSTON, MA*»., June 11.—What may be consid-
ered as the first public use (or demonstration)
of a new patriotic song was at the meeting of
OfWCArtD TO THE UNITED STATtS ARMY AHO NAVY
THE
strains are widely known, and which were com-
posed by F. E. Bigelow. During the dinner
everybody sung the song three times over, and
it was dedicated to the Army and the Navy, a
feature which immensely pleased Brigadier
General C. R. Edwards, and Past Commander-
in-Chief John E. Gilman, of the Grand Army of
the Republic, both of whom were guests of the
Rotarians. Here are the words of this song,
which promises to be very popular:
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.
"If I Had a Son for Each Star in Old Glory,
Uncle Sam, I'd Give Them All to You." As the
window shows, the number is being sold for
fifteen cents a copy and dealers are finding it
is no trouble to get that amount for the popu-

So here's to Uncle Sammy faithful and true;
Here's to our banner of red, white and blue;
And here's to all good fellows on land and sea
Singing the Battle Song of Liberty.

A PLEASING WINDOW DISPLAY
How the Feist Idea in Window Displays of
Sheet Music Worked Out in Los Angeles
Leo Feist, Inc., who are always taking ad-
vantage of new ideas in featuring and popu-
larizing their songs, have during the past two
months had the co-operation of numerous song
shops and syndicate stores as well as the most
progressive sheet music dealers, who have
placed windows at the service of the Feist or-
ganization for displaying their songs. The idea
that brought this about was the novel and orig-
inal way of attracting attention to the win-
dows which were given over to Feist displays.
It consisted principally of placing the thematic
of the chorus, together with the words, on the
Title Page of New Patriotic Success

nights ago. C. B. Buttleman, now associated ested who were able to read music, an idea of
