SAD ENDING
OF AUTHOR OF
FAMOUS SONG
LILLE, Aug. 26 (Correspondence of
Associated Press).—The tragic death
of Adolphe Degeyter, the composer
ot the “Internationale,” who passed
away here during the German occu
pation, has just become known to the
city. Degeyter, a man of strong
character, a laborious workingman,
had written several songs which he
and his brother-in-law used to sing.
He made no pretension to being a
musician, but took great pleasure in
playing the bugle. It was on this
instrument that he played the famous
air which he wrote to the words of
Eugene Pottier’s hymn, and the first
time he sang it was to some of his
comrades in a cabaret here.
Then his wife died. His brother
went to Paris and passed himself off
as the author of the famous air.
The two misfortunes worked disas
trously on Degeyter’s mind. He be
gan to drink heavily and conceived
for all music a dislike so strong that
he would leave a cafe if anyone be
gan to sing or play some musical
instrument.
Then the Germans came. Degey
ter suffered acutely from having to
work for them on the town water sup
ply. When the typhus epidemic
spread he was ordered to report at
the military hospital and one day he
failed to present himself. The “Kom
mandantur” issued a warrant for his
arrest. In the evening he hanged
himself.
He is buried in the cemetery near
the hill here, where a little wooden
cross with the name “Adolphe De
geyter” marks the grave of the au
thor of the “Internationale.”
PREMIER CLEMENCEAU
SHOWS EVIDENCES OF
STRENUOUS LIFE LATELY
LA TRANCHE, Vendea, France,
Aug. 26 Correspondence of Asso
ciated Press).—Premier Clemenceau
arrived here the other day in search
of peace and quietness. The pre
mier looked as if he needed rest and
there was nothing suggestive of the
“Tiger” as he descended from the
dusty automobile which had borne
him from Paris to the sea. He ap
peared old and wan and tired, and he
heaved a sigh of relief as he sat on
an old wooden bench in the shady
garden of the villa Philippon, wiped
the perspiration from his brow and
enjoyed the ocean breeze.
The premier does not like public
functions, and probably the only one
of the past few months, excepting
those of the retrievement of Alsace- J
Lorraine, at which he did not appear 1
bored was the Victory day parade.
He has lost none of his good humor,
however, and when asked hew he had
enjoyed the trip from the capital, re
plied :
“Somewhat tiresome but the coun
try is so beautiful. Yesterday we
visited several chateaux on the Loire.
1 should have enjoyed greatly having
a little sleep at Nantes but the crowd,
after midnight commenced to acclaim
and cheer me under my very windows
at the Central hotel. What a funny
idea.”
Accompanied by a couple of old,
weather-beaten fishermen, the pre
mier of France went for a stroll along
the beach, speaking with them in the
dialect of the province.
Special dinner served from 11:30
o’clock every day at the City Bakery.
