HERBERT L. SMITHS
ARE AT WAR WITHIN
THE BIG, BIG WAR
(By Reciprocal News Service

10y NtNIJl ONttl 4NNNS 'NlNINN'J
Somewhere in France, Sept. A.
(By Mail)--A gay little war, trilling
in size but furious in reprisals, is
being waged among the five Herbert
l.. Smiths in the American +. +.
Today Second Lieut.. Herbert L.
Smith, Q. NJ. C.. was yiciously pass
ing out cigars and cigarets that had
just arrived in the latest American
mail. They may be mine, but |
don't think So he said, with an in
sane light in his eyes. 81 only hope
that they belong to the Herbert L.
Smith who snagged the box OF cook
les and winter comforts that were
sent tc me
This II. l.. S. No. /, has an Uncle
George, and so has No. ?. He also
has an Aunt Mary, and so has II. l..
l.. No. 3. But when letter comes
telling OF the knitting record OF Aunt
Mary and Aunt Elizabeth, he knows
he is reading No. SIS mail because
he hasn't an Aunt Elizabeth.
M. 4 wrote very sarcastically
once, upon receipt OF bitter note
from No. |, "If you'll tell me what
Herbert l.. Smith you are, I'll tell
YOU the one ! am TO the informa-
ton. 81 am the II. l.. s. OF the Gas
Service" " came the response, 81 am
the II. l.. $. who used to be in the
Q. NJ. c. at Providence, X. H.
No. s has 4 wife whose handwrit-
ing Is exactly like that OF the spouse
of No. /, but she calls the roll Of
platoon OF infants not covered i'll the
allotment OF No. |.
SO they read each others mail,
notations on the original en-
velopes such as Not II. l.. 5. AP.
O. 7l3 but glad to see that Your
Aunt Mary is feeling @. X" Each
has the interests of five families to
keep track OF, and probably all OF
them share equally in the spoils sent
across by solicitous relatives.

only a very few minutes later. The
same day got his body, We held
a brief service, the lieutenantcolonel
and other officers being present. We
buried him by a main highway and
a cross marks his grave. The details
OF location are on file with the
Graves Registration Service ldenti-
ication tags are on the cross and
upon his person. Information will
be sent you.
"Your son was especially beloved
and honored among us, both by OF
iicers and men. He had made an es-
pecially fine record as courageous
and efficient officer. We were all
impressed by his big hearted manli-
ness. He had been constantly at the
front for many months, much OF the
time in command of battery at a
particularly dangerous post. But
whenever ! saw him he was always
showing fine spirit and calmness un-
der such a heavy strain.
MAY you, and his other dear ones,
find consolation in your sorrow in
the fact that your son had done so
nobly and was so well beloved
among us. You will forgive, | hope,
this rough letter written in the field,
and accept the assurance OF my
heartfelt sympathy

important region, military authorit-

Selle. At the head of the valley and
barring the way lies Metz, ranking
with StrasSburg as one OF the two
great bulwarks OF the German south
western frontier. Metz, is city OF
10000 population, its chief industries
being the manufacturing OF weap-
ons, clothes shoes and hats.
As fortress Metz has been I'M
portant since he Romanera. Since
that time it has never Succumbed to
frontal attack. Its present system of
fortificationS includes 2S detached
forts which encircle the city proper.
The outer chain OF defenses, built
within the last two decades, and un-
doubtedly perfected since the out
break OF the present war, extends
to Thionville on the north, and
Gravelotte on the west.
West and southwest of Metz the
course of the Mosele is lined with
high, wooded hills. The German
fortress also is protected by heights
and woods northward. On the south.

Forts Like Those at Liege.
From the American lines south
west of Metz the nearest forts are
FOr1S IIaeSler and de sammy on
the right bank OF the Moselle and
Fort Kronprinz on the left bank.
Fort de Sonny is less than five
miles from the French town OF Arm
aville, on the Franco German bor-
der The forts surrounding Metz
were similar to those at Liege, which
were notable for their disappearing
turretss. German guns however,
overcame these forts.
Metz also is an important point
on the railway line supplying the
German line eastward from Laon.
The fall Of Metz, not only would
probably seal the fate OF the iron
and coal fields, but through the
severence OF railway lines, imperil
the German line west OF Laon and
thence northward to the Belgium
coast. All reports OF possible Ger
man retirement in the west have in
dicated that Metz would form one

SIXTEEN TONNES
AND AN OLD PIANO
ON BRITISH FRONT
NV George I. Bye.)


Somewhere in France, Sept. A.
Across the road from the Ameri-
can Press Headquarters on the
British Front is a nut that was at
one time used as lecture room for
TommieS about 10 perform specia
tasks for the undoing OF Hun re-
Sistarce.
No attention had been paid to the
hut until one evening when the
Yank writer's had come in from
their various excursions and were
al dinner. Rollicking music was
heard, the janglc OF tired piano
and blend OF voices fresh and har-
moniouS.
When twilight set in the music
suddenly stopped, but was quickly
succeeded by a marching chant
which became louder and louder.
The correspondents, now beside
the road, saw sixteen TommieS ap-
preaching, singing Justify in spite
of the burden they carried, which
was 4 piano.
OF course, they were asked for an
explanation. "Oh, we wanted a
sing-song pretty badly they called.
I'VE asked permission to borrow the
piano at the officers mess, and we
have to get it back there by $50"
"How far do you go?"
"Oh, only about four miles"

WIRELESS FOR
AVIATION SHOWS
GREAT IMPROVEMENT

London, Sept. 25.-Efiiciency of
wireless telegraphy has been enor-
mously increased during the war a
semi official statement issued by the
Royal Air Force says. In particular,
great progress has been made in
sending wireless messages from air
craft.
In 1914 various difficulties re
Stricted the use OF wireless in con-
junction with airplanes. Most of
these have been overcome and the
use Of wireless communications from
the air has been OF great assistance
to the allied forces in all military op-
erations.
Without the assistance of wireless
the use OF airplanes could never have
been developed so fully as it now
is. ARTILLERY observation" by air
plane is among the most profitable
OF all the uses of aircraft.
