Eighth Army picked up the song
from the German radio and from
German and italian prisoners
captured during the Lybian cam
paign.
They Immediately substituted
their own words and dozens Of
versions were sung in English,
French, German and italian all
across North Africa. Such was
the songs appealing, sentimental
quality that almost none Of the
substituted lyrics were bawdy--
an almost unprecedented fact in
Army ballads.
When the tune got back TO
Britain, no music publisher would
touch it with a l0-foot pole. 1t
was, they reasoned an enemy
song. But as the song began to
be sung-unpublished though 1t
was-more and more people be-
gan to demand the music and
lyrics.
COPYRIGHT IS A PROBLEM
"A song is q funny thing"
says Jimmy Phillip, president OF
Peter Maurice Music Co., Ltd,
holders Of the British copyright,
"A tune Is like a disease. You
catch 1t and you can't get rid Of
1t. Wehn first heard Lilli Mar
lene,' I thought 1t was q nice
tune, but I certainly never thought
I'd publish 1t. But finally so many
people asked for 1t that I had no
choice"
Publication wasn't easy. There
was the question, first Of all, OF
copyright. That was solved by
paying reproduction rights to the
Public Custodian, who will hold
the money for the German copy
right owners until there can be a
postwar settlement.
Equally important was the
problem OF lyrics which would
exactly recapture the nostalgia,
sentimental atmosphere of the
German original. The result, and
the official English version OF the
song, starts like this:
Underneath the lantern by the
barrack gate,
Darling, I remember the way you
used to wait.
T was there that you whispered
tenderly
That you lov'd me. you'd always
be
My Lili Of the lamplight,
My own Lilli Marlene." S's

London, June 22-It begins to
look more and more as though the
"Tipperary" and lover There" Of
this war was not going to be the
product Of q British or American
tunesmith, but Of =. German.
After nearly three years of I'M
official recognition In the camps
and foxholes Of the Allied armies,
"Lilli Marlene" has Just been
published In England. Already,
less than q month after publica-
ton, daily sales have hit the
phenomenal figure Of 1000 and
plans are under way for immedi-
ate publication In the United States
Almost every one has heard
one or another version Of this
sentimental soldiers song about
the Girl-He-Left-Behind, Who
Lingers-in- His Frontline Dreams,
1t Was first published In Berlin in
194i.
INSTANT HIT
Liant Andersen, blonde Swed-
ish songstress who is said to have
been q close friend of Hitler,
made a recording OF the tune
which was an instant hit. 1t was
such q huge success, In fact, that
the Mails tried TO soft-peddle the
song because 1t was hogging so
much radio time.
But 1t was no use. "Lilli Mar
lene" (Which is pronounced Lilly
MarlAne~ was just the right
sentimental, nostalgia note to
strike a responsive chord In the
homesick heart Of every fighting
man on any front. The British

apt to be accidents. Not only traffic
accidents, but drownings. falls,
burns and many other forms OF
death and injury.
We know these things happen for
in the past month the Highway Pa

in the recovery of three bodies OF
persons drowned in fishing acci-

the hospital suffering from cuts

picked up many dead and MANNED

All of this is tragic, but it does
not have to be- Somebody's care

to come home from a vacation that

Handouts Used by Nazis
Nav Be of British Make

LONDON. Handouts used by the
Germans to manacle Dieppe prison
ers may well have been made in
Birmingham. Before the war Ger
many ordered thousands of hand
cuffs from an old-established firm
in that city.
The Germans. however, also have
large steel anklets joined by chains
that give the Wearer freedom to take
a step of about one foot In some
cases another chain is used joining
the anklets and handouts, thus pre-
venting a prisoner from lifting his
hands above face level.
