escorted by 5000 members of the Sons
Of Italy, led by Stcfano Miele, supreme
venerable of the order, and from Wash
ington Square to the North Meadow
Central Park, whore they were re-
viewed, they were met and followed BY
mingled "vivas" and "hurrahs."
Ohio and Pennsylvania furnished
most of the men of the regiment, and
both states sent delegations to its
triumphal parade. Thompson, Sullivan
and Macdougal streets, Mott, Mulberry
and Elizabeth every Italian colony in
the city-made a fiesta Of the occasion.
From south and cast they swarmed to
Fifth Avenue, coming by groups and
families, which included even infants
who were unborn when the Austrians
abandoned Tagiamcnto.
The escort marching ahead was
symbolic, in a way, of the dark days

Sad ENDING
OF AUTHOR OF
FAMOUS SONG

LILLE, Aug. 26 Correspondence of
Associated Press).-The tragic death
of Adolphe Degeyter, the composer
of the "Internationale," who passed
away here during the German occu-
patton, has just become known to the
city. Degeyter, 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. 1t 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-
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. Doggy
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.'

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 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 bereavement of Alsace-
Lorraine, at which he did not appear
bored was the Victory day parade.
He has lost none of his good humOr,
however, and when asked how he had
enjoyed the trip from the capital, re-
piled:
"Somewhat tiresome but the coun-
try is so beautiful. Yesterday we

Building Loan Companies
Report Big Business; Gum
Home Campaign is Cause

An increase in the number OF people
purchasing houses has been noted
since the "Own Your Own Home"
campaign went into effect, say the
officials Of local building and loan
companies early Thursday morning.
Building association officers report
that the companies are prosperous.
Every few new houses are being
built, but the number of houses al
ready built that is changing hands is
astonishing" says one official. The
chief reason for this is the difficulty
people, who never owned their own
homes before, are experiencing in the
renting of desirable houses. and wher
they were fortunate enough to secure
a house, in a great many instances Il
was sold over their heads and they
were forced to begin their search over.
IF these renters had a little capital
saved they usually finished up by pur-
chasing house. SO they could be rea-
sonably sure of having a house over
their heads"
