OPERA COMPOSER
DEFENDS HOME
THEN KILLS SELF.
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, May 2S.-The fate of Alberto
Maynard, the composer of "Bernice'
and "YoIande," missing since the bat
tie of the Marine, has just become
known.
He was at his country home near
the village of Baron in the Disc, work
ing on new opera when the Ger
mans invaded the department.
There are five bullets there" he
had said to friend few days before
the arrival of the enemy, showing an
automatic pistol. -Four for the Ger
mans if they break into my premises
the fifth for myself"
The morning when the Uhlans were
in the vicinity Maynard barricaded
the gates to the park and the en-.
trance to his house. where he had re
tired alone with his son-in-law, Mon
sieur Creton. A detachment of 80
Uhlans came soon after, demolishing
the gates, invaded the grounds and
began to force the doors, Maynard
rushed to window and fired two
shots. Two Uhlans fell and the rest
fed,
Later the detachment of Uhlans re-
turned to the park, and fearing that
the occupants of the house were well
armed, decided to burn the composer
out.
Doors, gates, blinds, branches OF
trees were piled in the entry, sprinkl-
ed with oil and fired.
Immediately two more shots came
through the blinds and two more Uh-
lans fell. Then the blind was thrown
open, the composer appeared in the
open window, crying in a ringing
voice:
"Viye la France" Then he deliber-
ately put the pistol to his temple and
killed himself.

fact, one Of the most interesting prob
