Isaac Spalding was stationed in the Philippines from 1912 until August 1915.

In Lomax and Lomax, he says he heard "Wild Missouri" sung in the Philippines.

That helps narrow down the (at least one) time when Spalding heard the song. It was right around the years of the Chicago Tribune article (July 1915).
