BIZ ED LEAMY

Reilly, or O'Reilly You pays
your money and you takes your
choice. Here's a letter from Earle
Ferris in New York, who handles
publicity for a number Of radio
stars. From what he writes 1t would
seem that the ebullient subject OF
the song was known both as Reilly
and O'Reilly. Earle says:
Dear Ed:
Your Olneyville Reader and we
are talking about the same song,
all right, he In his letter, we in
our story attempting to trace the
derivation of the term 1.-THE Life
of Riley"
Our authority is the lexico-
grapher Frank Horace Vizetelly,
who is quite certain that the ex-
preston sprang from the song,
which he calls us That Mr..
Reilly?" and which your reader
calls "Are You the O'Reilly?"
The version as quoted by Vize-
telly goes like this:
I'm Terence O'Reilly, I'm a man
of renown.
I'm a thoroughbred to the back
bone:
I'm related to O'Connor MY
mother was queen
OF China, 10 miles from Athlone.
But if they'd let me be, I'd have
Ireland free.
On the elevated railroads you'd
pay no fare.
I'd have the United States under
my thumb
And i'd sleep in the Presidents
chair.
Then came q spoken bit, lead
ing into the chorus: I was walk
ing across the Atlantic Ocean the
other day, and as was coming
in the dock, a fellow says -.
Is that Mr.. Reilly. can anyone
-. tell?
Is that Mr.. Reilly that owns the
hotel?
Well, if that's Mr.. Reilly they
speaks of SO highly,
Well, upon my soul, Reilly, you're
0Olng qu1Ce wen.
I'D have nothing but Irishmen on
the police.
Patrick's Day will be the Fourth
of July.
I'd get me a thousand internal
machines
To teach the Cinnamon how to
die.
I'd defend the workingmen's
cause-manufacture the laws.
New York would be swimming in
wine.
A hundred a day will be very
small pay
When the White House and Capt.
toll are mine.
There are minor differences in
the song as quoted by our auth
GRITTY and your reader, and since
we don't have a copy of the song,
it is entirely possible that our
version may not agree perfectly
with the published version. In
any case, the song, copyrighted
in 1883 by Frank Harding, and
popularized in the COS by Pat
Rooney, certainly does have some
connection with the expression
we've been trying to trace :.
whether the song was inspired
by the saying or vice versa.
If anything else turns up in
our search for the origin of the
expression, we'll keep you posted.
Meanwhile, thanks for your in
terest and keep listening to
William Bendix's version of The
Life of Riley" Sundays at 3 on
the Blue.
Regards,
II rnYlHanYG

STRAND
BODY IS FOUND
NEAR DUPONT

Antoine Strand, IA, missing for
over a week, was found yesterday
forenoon about mile and quarter

Kirschoffer, trail foreman for the
Forest Service, who, with a crew
of men, had been working on the
trails in that vicinity.
The body was discovered face

attempted to cross the water and
had slipped, hitting his forehead
on a sharp rock, which either killed
him instantly or rendered him I'M

the result of suffocation or drown
ing.

Coast Guard and a patrol boat was
dispatched from here, with U. S.
Commissioner Felix Gray and De-
putty Marshal Thomas Hellan
aboard, and the remains were
brought to Juneau and identified.
The victim was born January IL,
1869. at Surna, Norway, and came
to America in 1904. He had lived
in the Territory since 1906; eight
years in Seward, two years in Pet
ersburg, 25 years in Port Alexander,
and for the past three years in
Juneau.
He was employed as fisherman
and was a member of the Pioneers
of Alaska.
Surviving relatives include a sis
ter, Mrs. T. j. Jacobsen of this city;
a brother, Bernard Strand of White
horse; and another sister, Mildred
Hodges of Whitehorse.
The body is at the Charles w.
Carter Mortuary and funeral ar
rangements have been announced
for Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock
from the mortuary chapel. The Rev.
w. G. LeVasseur will deliver the
eulogy. Interment will be in the

the avowed purpose of linking the
Mediterranean theatre of war with
their own front west of Paris where
the Allies apparently are on the
point of scoring great victory that
might speedily result in the liberia
ton of most or all of France.
French Fight in France
1.-The Army of France is again
fighting on its own soil for the lib
Grafton of its country and all of its
traditions of victory behind it," is
the ringing declaration of Com
mander-in- Chief Gen. Wilson, re-
garding the French forces among
the invaders.
Striking just after sunrise, seven
waves of infantry splashed ashore
and in the first two hours seized
initial detectives with great rapidity
at many places along the 125-mile
stretch of the Riviera between the
great port of Marseille and Nice,
encountering only the weakest OPP
position.
Defense Pulverized
The enemy defenses were pull
verified by five straight days OF
powerful air offensive.
Shortly before dawn today, a gi-
gantic airborne combat force de-
scended on the rugged hills rising
on the coast line and went into a
grapple with the German defenders
for possession of key communica-
ton points commanding vantage
points.
The big transport planes and Gid
ers put the airborne troops down
first under a massive fighter plane
screen that covered the invasion
Not single enemy plane opposed
the early operations.
Warships hurled tons of steel into
the German coastal defenses.
