In consequence the concert was canceled Mr. Barnhart, an American, in ex- plaining his views, said: “Francls-Scott Key's song, with all due deference to those who havebeen led to belleve that it is our national anthem, has no legal or official status whatever. A bill to legalize it was defeated in the last Congress. It is on the same basis as ‘America’ and the ‘Battle Hymn of the Republic.’ During the war, when one of my sons served overseas, I led sings in Army camps and I have conducted ‘The Star Spangled Banner' hundreds of times, but that was when war and fighting was the program. “With the memory of the war still with us, ‘The Star Spangled Banner' withy Its ‘rockets’ red glare' and ‘bombs bursting in air' is associated with har- rowing and dreadful scenes. It casts a gloom over those who have experi- enced the death dealing touch of war.” SET UP FLAMING CROSS. Men Steal Into Camp While Ne- groes Are Asleep.
