u. S. and British Anthems
By French, Not Prussian
Crequy That Lully and de Brinon
Composer and Author

America" and God Save the
King" were not composed and writ
ten by Germans, as has been the
claim Of Prussia since the begin
ming Of the war. Prussia has often
boasted that both Great Britain and
the United States owe their ma
tional anthems to German sources
but now their claim has been defi-
nitely disproved by Capt Perry Bel
mont. Of the United States army.
Capt. Belmont has clearly proved
that the original composition from
which both the American and Brit
ish national anthems were adapted
was written by Frenchmen in the
eighteenth century. and were cop
led with the writer's conseT by
Handel. the German composer. He
has submitted his findings to MEM
bers of the British Embassy at
Washington.
Capt. Belmont has the support OF
many authorities for his assertion
that Lully. the famous French COM
poser of the time of Louis XIV or
iginated the music, that Mime. De
Brinon wrote the words. and that
Handel. the German composer, who
has been generally credited with
the authorship OF the anthem, really
appropriated 1t.
Source OF Infermatisn.
The source from which Capt.
Belmont has secured what is per-
haps his most convincing evidence
is the Memoirs of Nine. de Crequy,
which cover the greater part of the
eighteenth century. the time in
which the anthem was composed
The author tells of having heard
the anthem played in chapel in 1714
and Of the deep impression it made
upon her at that time. She further
adds to her grandson. to whom the
memoirs are addressed. that IL he
desires to obtain the words and
music, he may do so as Handel, a
German composer. had during a
visit to Paris obtained permission
to copy both.
Handel. 1t is related by various
authorities. after copying the COM
position, dedicated it to George,
Elector Of Hanover. to whom he
was capel-meister. In l714 George
became King Of England. thereby
carrying the composition into Eng
land. whose people adopted it as
the national anthem.
