While not exactly a war song, it was in the nature of a reaction from the war, expressing young America’s exuberance at its independence, In 1814 the spirit of the War of 1812 saturated the blood and brain of Francts Scott Key. Afire with militant patriotiem, he wrote “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The Civil War left the country with » whole flood of songs, some of them surefire today, others 00d on occasion. The Spanish-Amertean war dug up the old-timers, including “Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight.” This gem, however, dates back to the Chicago fire, which it com- memorated. The war with Spain produced no song typical of its pertod—possibly because so many of the singers died of malaria, “yellow jack” and embalmed beet. Maybe some one, Inter on, will burst forth with the song that Americans always will associate with thetr part in the World War. The chances, however, are against {t, for the national com- plex 1s to keep the war burted in memory. It is dawning on people that modern war Is nothing to sing about.
