THAT a number of publishers on, or near,
Broadway, finding that the police were not ar-
resting those who threw paper on the street in
the recent peace celebration, threw thousands of
copies of dead numbers among the crowds from
upper windows.
THAT the scramble for the copies added to the
jam and enabled the publishers to clean house
at small expense.
THAT it can be said confidentially that no pop-
ular hits were advertised by this rather unusual
method.
THAT when the Liberty Loan and War Fund
drives end some song pluggers will have to find
new avenues in which they can carry on their
work.
THAT with the end of the war in sight the de-
mand becomes more insistent for American
music for Americans.
THAT the Government should endorse this
campaign as a means for unifying the nation in
the years to come.

the song writing abilities of Irving Berlin, who
turns out songs with great rapidity.
THAT the presses are now working overtime
turning out copies of peace songs.

NEW WITMARK PEACE SONG ISSUED
"Ring Out, Sweet Bells of Peace" Will Prove
Particularly Timely Just Now
M. Witmark & Sons have issued a song they
have had in preparation for some time, bearing
the title "Ring Out, Sweet Bells of Peace." The
lyric is by Wm. H. Gardner, and the music by
Caro Roma, both of whom were jointly respon-
sible for that remarkable Southern song suc-
cess, "Can't Yo' Heah Me Callin', Caroline?"
The new peace song is imbued with the spirit
of thankfulness, it is simple and easy as well
as effective to sing, and the music is melodious
and appropriate to a degree. "Ring out, Sweet
Bells of Peace" is a song that will live long
after the dawn of peace has passed, and it is
particularly good for use at Christmas.
STILL HOLDS ITS POPULARITY
Amy Ashmore Clark, manager of the teachers'
and concert department, of Artmusic, Inc., states
that "One For All and All For One," the patri-
otic number from the firm's catalog, will be just
as popular during the coming months as it was
under actual wartime conditions.
United States Army is still buying band music
for the forces at home and abroad.
THAT a soldier suggests that the "shimmie"
songs should be supplemented with a number
entitled "Shaking the Shirt," a popular pastime
after a tour of the trenches.
THAT Leo Feist, Inc., have opened a new
branch office at 485 Main street, Buffalo, N. Y.,
with Milt. Stevens in charge.
THAT meetings of music publishers are com-
ing thick and fast these days, with final results
still in doubt.

"Some Day" to Be Published With Title Page
in Three Colors
The A. J. Stasny Music Co., who have been
featuring their song, "It's Never Too Late to
Be Sorry," and which is proving a big sensa-
tion, announce they will start a publicity cam-
paign on behalf of their "Some Day," a num-
ber originally issued in a black and white edi-
tion, but which has recently been given a three-
color title page of very artistic merit. Walter
Little and Earl Burtnett, both of the sales staff
of the concern, are the authors of the number,
and it will without doubt be a great favorite with
the new title page and the additional publicity.
"Oh, How I Wish I Could Sleep Until My
Daddy-Comes Home," the song from the catalog
of Waterson, Berlin & Snyder, is following in
The Yankeeland Co., of Minneapolis, Minn.,
the footsteps of the other two child songs pub-
has
issued two new numbers, "Yankeeland," a

Man's Land," and "Baby's Prayer at Twilight," lively one-step, and "Pierrot," song, dedicated to
