Last week Admiral Magruder was called before the House Naval Affairs Committee and told to speak freely. Admiral Magruder spoke (see ARMY & NAVY...

So, too often, were the songs they sang, simple, singable songs that came from the people and belonged to them. Happily for the survival of the homely, story-telling songs of the U.
