OH, SAY, GAN YOU SEE
NEW YORK, July 31 (U. P.).— The question of whether the Star Spangled Banner is a suitable national anthem or a pagan bar room melody will be debated some time this fall by Vincent Lopez, the orchestra leader, and Frederick Jagel, the opera singer. Mr. Jagel heads the new National Anthem Club, while Mr. Lopez leads the Star Spangled Banner Association. The singer has been campaigning for a new anthem on the ground the melody of the Star Spangled Banner is an old drinking tune not written by an American, that it is unsingable, and that its adoption by Congress was an ‘un-American application of minority tyranny.” The singer also objected to the mention of hombs and rockets and {the fact the song celebrates the war against England, now a friendly power.
