Mav 30 Th* true story lof the litlp French girl who •tapped a general’s face, and thus Inspired a famous war song, was loid here today for the first, time, almost, fourteen year* after the (Nkvse of the war. The girl was the Mademoiselle from Armentieres whose praises the allied troops sang as they marched across the fields of Flanders. The way in which the song originated was rlcsc r ibed by Zo Elliott. American composer, making a study of war songs which he may use for materia! in his operatic version of "What Price Glory?" ‘The song really was inspired by k pertain French girl in the town of Armentieres during the early part of the war." he said. "Only she was closer to 20 than to 40. and wc as virtuous as she was pretty—despite insinuations to the rontrary. a a a * r T'HF. mademoiselle was employed 1 in the Case Pas de Calais where the British and Canadian officers spent their idle moments. Although she soon gained a reputation for pleasing all the officers, she never compromised herself with any of them." While the troops rested in Armentieres, he continued, permission was granted for the first time to hold entertainments behind the lines. A London music-hall actor named Red Roland and the Canadian songwriter. Lieutenant Gitz-Rice, who later composed "Dear Old Pai of Mine." were ordered to take charge the show’. They wanted to introduce a tropical song." Elliott continued, "and decided to use the music of a French folk-song which may have been called ‘Mademoiselle de Bar-Le-Duc.’ a a a a T the time they were planning the show, a Canadian general came to Armentieres and presented himself at the Case Pas de Calais. The mademoiselle attracted him. and scorning the advice of his subordinates, he attempted to kiss her. “But his gold braid meant nothing to the mademoiselle, and she slapped his face right in front of his staff. "The story quickly sprpad through iwmp and Gttz-Rice and Roland thought it would make a hit in their show So they changed the tempo of the folk-song, and fitted it with the words the generals in an awful fix.’ "When they have the verse finished, however, someone warned them that they would be in an awful fix if they sang about the general. *‘ Accordingly, they decided to make the girl the heroine of the •ong and wrote the stanza about the unktssable mademoiselle." mam THE song immediately "caught on." Soon millions of men were marching to its cadence, and more lhan a hundred new stanzas were added bv various people. Some of the verses, however, were nor entirely complimentary to the mademoiselle, and so her name never was revealed by the original authors. What, has become of her is un-1 known. The Case Pas de Calais ha* disappeared, and no one in Armentieres wotiid venture to guess at the identity of a mademoiselle who worked there fourteen years ago. Unless the author* choose to apesk, therefore, she forever shall he nameless.

CITY PAUSES TO HONOR ITS SOLDIER DEAD But Only for Brief Period; Race. Picnics Take Spotlight. G. A. R. LEADS VETERANS Survivors of Three Wars Parade Downtown Section. BY ARCH BTEINEL The lost ones of the wars—men of blue, olive-drab, the khaki, and the gray—came back into hearts for a . littie while today, Memorial day. Just for a few moments, between • the noisy exhausts of cars bound for 1 1 he Speedway or picnickers whooping , i* up in city parks, the silent ones, who carry tombstones for guerdons, were among us. They felt the low rail of "Taps” i at the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument. They found peonies from a mother's garden at their tombs. They stood wraith-like and watched ! patriarchs of '6l, the middle-aged of '9B. and the youngsters of ’l7, march in a parade past the World War Memorial Plaza and through ! the downtown streets. Hear Rifle Salute Their homes, the cemeteries, were decorated and the grass by each little yard they’d bought with life was fresh, and well-cut with their flag hanging nearby. , The trim crackle of ‘‘rifle-fire" saluted them at. the monument. A ; band played salvos of patriotic airs. Bared heads paid homage in the early morning services at the monument and in the parade at 10 a. m. And while they watched unseen they migt have heard Frederiok Van Ntiys, attorney, and Democratic candidate for United States senator, and hi* plea for a unified people and government In the present economic crisis at the monument rites. "We. as a nation, can not survive this present economic warfare if the people be tom by factionalism and sectionalism. We can not think today, any more than we could in the sixties, in terms of blocs, cliques and organized minorities. We must think and work together as Americans whose every interest is dovetailed with the government. "And while our citizenship is repledging its confidence in the government, such government must also do its part. While citizens rise to their full height in loyalty the government must constantly bear *n mind that it is a vehicle—and only a vehicle—for the preservation of the lives, the liberty, and the happiness of its citizens. Thu* only through the love and loyalty of it* citizen* to their government on the one hand. And the fidelity of the government to the people on the other, may America reach her full measure of destiny,” he concluded. Aged Veteran* Lead AH wars, all creed*, all school*, all age* and sexes, marched In the morning parade in honor of the day. A small band of G. A. R. veteran*, a fair representation of the sixtyfive veteran* of the Civil war still living in the country, led the line of march. And while the parade wa* hi progre** other memorial services were being held in New Crown, Mt. Jackson, Washington and the Jewish cemeteries. At 3 p. m. the largest service for the dead wa* to be held at Crown Hill remeterv. The Rev. Guy O. Carpenter of the Irvington Methodist. church, wa* to be the speaker. But In lighter moods the city celebrated ite Memorial day ai golf, baseball games—the Indians play twice todav. and one game i* at night movie shows, auto jaunt*, trip* to Aunt Mary's place down on the farm. Dance* Are Planned Club* of the city air haring Speedway dances tonight. Riverside and Broad Ripple Amusement parks have special programs. The mailman took life easy, as only special delivery letters and perishable matters were delivered. City, county and federal employes with store workers and factory hand* started the day with sneers at the alarm clock. Only the newsboys, crying the race extras, the bus drivers and tram conductors, and restaurant waitresses. made the day one of work. Hotels were crowded to capacity with race visitors. Train*, busses, and interurbans, carried full cars. It was a day and week-end of merriment with the depression forgotten. as a bad dream, and for a little while the lost ones of the wars came back to us in 1932. HELPS COPS SAVE HIM!

1930 VICTOR CRASHES

AFTER LEADING FOR 147 MILES, SETTING RECORDS

Bob Carey, leading; the race on his ninety-fourth lap. smashed into the wall on the southeast turn. He skidded, turning; around three times, and struck the wall. He was not hurt.

His mechanic. Spider Matlock, incurred cuts and bruises.

Arnold * terrific speed, which had dropped only one mile an hour from the 112 he set during 1 the first few laps, had shattered every record at the track before the accident. Fate has ridden hard against the j youthful Arnold. Last year, leading the race, he was injured on the northwest turn in a two-car smash. The pace set by Arnold astounded experts of the oval. Bride Rushes to Side Arnold smoked a cigaret on his way to the hospital. Mrs. Arnold, a bride of a ,few weeks, rushed from the grand stand to the hospital when the roar went, through the crowd that Arnold had crashed. She was at her husband's side when he was taken to the medical aid depot. The Arnold wreck was the third on the north turn today. AI Gordon. driving a Liontamer Special, was the first victim, when he crashed into the northwest retaining wall on his second lap.

He was maintaining • terrific gait when he roared into the lead after Arnold's mishap. The speed at 175 miles had dropped to 109.407 miles an hour, as compared to the-more than 111 that Arnold had set. However. Carey broke the track record for the distance. The former record was 105.057. Last year's time for the distance was 90.607, due to rain. Close on Carey s heels was Lou Moore in hi* Boyle-Valve special. Carey i* driving a Lout* Meyer Special.

Just after passing the 150-mile mark, the field was given the green, or go. flag. Carev was followed closely by Moore. Triplett wa* thirl. Wileox fourth, and Arnold officially was listed as fifth. Next, in order, were Frame. Cummings and Shaw, with Louis Schneider, last year s victor,: pulling into ninth place. It was the first time he had been among the first ten. Bergere was tenth. The average 109.482, was four miles faster than Duray * record of 1.05.091, set in 1928. Last year's average at 150 miles was 92.182. At seventy-five miles, following Moore were Meyer. Ernie Triplett, Wilcox, Shaw, Stubblefield and Cummin*. Arnold continued hi* recordbreaking pace with an average for the thirty laps at 111.693, compared with hi* previous record of 109 125, | set in 1931. Johnny Krieger, driving * Consumers Petroleum Special, went out of the race on his thirty-first lap. with a broken connecting rod. GalotU Goes Out Tony Gulotta, in a Studebaker Special, was next out of the race when his car threw a tire on the southeast turn, on hi* thirty-third lap. The car went into a spin, whirling around seven time*, ending facing the wrong wav. Miraculously, no one was injured and he was back in the race in a few minute*. Increasing hi* lead every lap. Arnold had won $1,900 in lap prizes at 100 mile*. * At 100 mile*, Otrey in a Meyer

Special, and Fred Frame, in a Miller-Hartz Special, were waging a brilliant battle for second place, with Carey holding the edge. Moore still held fourth place. The pack at, his heels was led by Triplett, Meyer. Wilcox, Stubblefield, Shaw and Cummings, from fifth to tenth places. Arnold was 1 minute 18 seconds ahead of Carey at, 100 miles, his average being 111.494. compared with last year s mark of 104.773, and Durav's 1928 record of 106.193. AI Aspen went out of the race in his thirty-first lap with a broken connecting rod on his Brady-Nardi Special. Lou Meyer's sixteen-cylinder Sampson Special skidded off the track on the southeastern turn on his fiftieth lap. The car was placed on the track again and Meyer continued around the track, but stopped I at the pits and went out of the race because of damage to his car. At 125 miles Arnold had increased his average slightly over the preceding 25 miles, the average for the 125 being 111.505. Lou Moore, in his Boyle Valve Special, had pulled into ■ third place, one lap behind Carey, who was trailing Arnold. Next, in order were Triplett. Wilcox. Cummings. Shaw. Saulpaugh. Frame and Meyer. Saulpaugh went out on the flftvflfth lap with a broken oil line. Lou Moore, in his Boyle Valve Special, roared around the oval to grab the first lap lead, but lost the honor when Billy Arnold. 1930 winner, passed him on the second lap. Speed for the first lap was 109.343, as compared to 108.473 last year. The first track record fell when Arnold, still leading, covered the first ten miles at 112.870.

The old record for the distance was set in 1928 by Leon Duray, 111008 Arnold Crark* Another Arnold kept pushing his car to lead at twenty-five miles *nd averaged 111.300 miles an hour to shatter the other standing record of 109.295, which he set last year. The Gordon craah brought the spectators to their feet just as they had settled down for the first, of the race. Spectators said that Gordon and Booty, when they saw they could not hold the car, grabbed each other as the ear slithered down the track. Gordon was heartbroken over his elimination. The race got off to a perfect start, after Edsel Ford, pacemaker, pulled to the pit* after the pacing lap. Arnold clung to Moore during the first lap and Bryan Saulpaugh In his Miller Special was third, 'Dynamite Row* Popular The track was packed with spectators and officials said they had * record-breaking crowd. "Dynamite Row." composed of Arnold. Saulpaugh and Moore, proved it* popularity with the crowd during the first laps of breakneck speed. The day was perfect for the race, contrasting with last year, when rain held up the start for nearly two hours and showers during the afternoon resulted In slowing the car*. First car to the pit* was the Hupp Comet, driven by Russell Snowberger, who changed tire* and was out again in forty-three seconds. Driver* in the flr*t ten places at the end of 25 mile* were Arnold, j Moore, Carey, Meyer, Saulpaugh. j Wilcox. Paul Bost, Cliff Bergere. BUI Cummings and Frank Brisco.
