Historical Note
This is the thirteenth variant of the second printing. Feist’s usual practice was to deposit a first printing, for copyright only, that had identical music but with a front cover containing only text and a back cover that was blank. The variants are distinguished by their back covers and by the inset photographs; they are ordered by the back covers and, when necessary, alphabetically by the persons pictured on the front. This variant postdates September 21, 1917, based on the copyright dates of music advertised on the back cover. The Saturday Evening Post advertisement cited on the back cover appeared on November 17, 1917.
Dedication
p. 2, top: Dedicated to Lieut. Joseph E. Barrell and Lieut. Eugene J. Orsenigo, 71st N. Y. Infantry
