( You're out OF the picture, If you're

young woman said to me the otnes
day, adding earnestly: ADo you sup

THE MARSEILLAISE

When the Marseilles battalion of
the army of the. First French Repub-
lie entered Paris on July 30, 1892,
they were singing a martial anthem
unlike anything that had been heard
before. When the soldiers broke
ranks they distributed among the
people leaflets upon which the words
had been printed. Soon all Paris was
singing the song; then it made it's
way into the provinces and the entire
nation sang it. Questions were asked
the soldiers from Marseilles as to
who had written the song, which they
called the .tChant Des Marseillaise. ;,
All they knew was that at a civic
banquet held on the eve Of their de-
parture for Paris. a singer named
Mireur had sung it and that it had
so impressed the major that he had
caused the leaflets to be printed
which they had brought to Paris
Thus 1t was that the great national
| anthem of France first became
known. That song today represents
the battle cry of freedom to all peo-
| PIE on earth. It's composer was
Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle, a, cap
tain in the army of the First French
Republic. When the people of France
learned the name Of the composer

King Louis Philippe bestowed a pen

southern city. Three months before

Strassburg, on the Rhine, Dietrich

about to join Luckner's army, had nc
