LIVINGSTONE, Mont., June 12.—A
bandit stronghold may be added to
the Yellowstone national park. The
Jackson hole country, once the resort
of bad men of every class, is the
strip which it is proposed to attach
to the reservation.
For thirty years, Jackson’s hole has
played an important part in lurid
literature as well as in sensational
fact. Thousands of “wild west” stor
ies have mentioned that bullet swept
region, where criminals fled from
posses and where a comparatively
few men could hold a company of
soldiers at bay.
■Representative Mondell, of Wyoming
is fostering a measure to add about
fiO.OOO acres of Wyoming public land
south of the park to the Yellowstone
reservation. There are very few
homesteads on this land and it is
believed that their claims can be ad
justed without difficulty.
The tract is as beautiful, it is said,
as any part of the Yellowstone re
gion and this Is the leading reason
for the desire to add it to the park.
Lofty mountains, many of them cov
ered with dense forests, rise from this
land. Great, prairies, which once were
deserts, stretch for miles. Hundreds
of striking buttes whose crannies fur
nish hiding places and fortifications
for Indians, and robbers, and fugi
tives, dot the country.
Grand Teton mountain and Mount
Moran are included in the proposed
addition, but Jackson’s Hole is per
haps the best-known spot. Again and
again, in pioneer days, Indians flashed
into this depression and disappeared.
Bad men learned the secrets of the
Hole, and often they got there a few
horse jumps ahead of their pursuers.
As late as 1914 the crags echoed to
the clatter of hoofs and the whine of
bullets. On July 29 of that year two
bandits held up eighteen Yellow
stone park coaches and after rob
bing more than one hundred tourists,
escaped to the Hole. Soldiers searched
and searched and found nothing.
Now Representative Mondell hopes
to change the order of things. His
plan provides that hotels be built
where the red men once pitched their
tepees; that comfortable lodges be
erected among the crannies of the
bandits, and that the government
shall see to it that no tourist is held
up—not even by hotel men.

Since the beginning of the war
Prussia has boasted often that Great
Britain and the United States owe
even their national anthems to Ger
man kultur, the one directly and the
other at a remove of one step. Capt.
Perry Belmont, United States army,
has not only punctured thSs claim
but has clearly proved that the Teu
tonic sneer is based on a flagrant case
of plagiarism in the eighteenth cen
tury. He has submitted his findings
to the British embassy at Washington.
Capt. Belmont has the backing of
many authorities to show that Lully
the famous French composer of the
time of Louis XIV. originated the
music, that Madame de Brinon wrote
the words and that Handel, the Ger
man composer, who has generally been
credited with the authorship of the
anthem, really appropriated it.
Perhaps the most convincing link
in the chain of evidence which Capt.
Belmont has produced appears in the
Memoirs of Madame de Crequey, which
cover a greater part of the eighteenth
century, the period in which the tune
was composed. The author speaks of j
the deep impression the anthem made
upon her when in 1714 she heard]
it sung in the chapel of that institu-j
tion. She further adds that if her
grandson, to whom the memoirs are
addressed, desires to obtain the words
and music he may easily do so, as
Handel, a German composer, during
his visit to Paris obtained permission
to copy both.
Various authorities tell how Hande
dedicated 'ffie composition to George,
Elector of Hanover, who became king
of England in 1714, and to whom the
German composer was capel-meister
in Hanover.
If further proof of the authorship
were needed it is to be found in the
Souvenirs de la Marquise Crequey in
the form of a statement signed by
four nuns of Sain Cyr. They fully
confirm her assertions regarding the
associations of both Lully and Handel
with the anthem.
The original words contained in the
Croquey Memoirs are distinctly appli
cable to such a “glorious” and "vic
torious” king as Louis XIV, in whose
honor they were written by Lully, bu
not to King George the First, to whom
they were dedicated by Handel Tran
slated literally from French into the
English they follow:
Great God, Save the King!
Great God, Avenge the King!
Long live the King.
Always the glorious,
Louis victorious,
Scatter his enemies
And make them fall.
Great God, Save the King!
Great God, Avenge the King!
Long live the King.
Only casual reading of the words of
the Handel version of “God Save the
King” is required to make obvious
their source. They follow:
God save our gracious king,
Long live our noble king,
God save the king!
Send him victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us;
God save the king.
O Lord our God, arise!
Scatter our enemies.
And make them fall
Confound their politics;
Frustrate their knavish tricks;
On Thee our hopes we fix;
God save us all!
Thy choicest gifts in store
On him be pleased to pour;
Long may he reign;
May he defend our laws.
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice;
God save the King!
Some years after England accepted
the tune as its national anthem, Prus
sia and various German states also
adopted it. “My Country ‘Tis of
Thee,” written by the Rev. 3. S. Smith
and undoubtedly derived from ‘‘God
Save the King,” was sung at the
Park Street Church in Boston on July
4, 1832.
