LAFAYETTE AT METZ

From the Literary Digest.
 O1GNCE the great battle that wiped out N the St Mihiel salient in the begin- ming Of September, the citadels and spires of Metz have lain plain before the eyes of the American army and within range of the American guns. As it hap pens, it Is with peculiar appropriate ness that Metz is made the objective of the American armies.
 Toward the close of the year 1776, the Duke aef Cumberland who was the broth CT of King George III of England, was travelling in France, and one day he ar rived at the town of Metz, then a French possession. A certain Count De Broglie, veteran of many battles, was in com mand of the garrison, and, to do honor to his distinguished visitor, he invited some of his officers to meet him at din- ner. Now 1t happened that the Duke of Cumberland was in disfavor with his royal brother-he was, in fact, in ban ishment He had lately received news that certain of his majesty's colonies in America had rebelled and declared them selves free, declining to be subject any longer to a tyrannical king. It would seem that the Duke of Cumberland told the story with some gusto, as if he were

DON'T LAUGH

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 There is an element of the richly ludi- crous in the manner of the Austrians' peace siege of Washington, but however deserving they are of their fate, there is certain solemnity in the downfall and dissolution of any great nationality.
 Don't cheer, boys they are dying, v said, Admiral Philip to the men of the Texas as fthe Spanish sailors sank at Santiago.
 Don't laugh, boys we can well afford to paraphrase Admiral Philips injunc- ton as we watch the Austrians sink.
 It is not inconsistent with the stern satisfaction we feel at what IS now taking place before our eyes, nor any. yielding to combining sentimentality, that keeps our faces straight despite the mirth- providing features which the Aus trian tragedy develops.

for our novelists to get the proper perspective which will enable them to do the subject justice.
 As for the war poetry, if reader wearies of the effusions printed from day to day in newspapers and at long, CT intervals in the magazines, he or she should be grateful for being spared the vast quantity of verse that never sees the light of day, being con- signed to the nearest waste basket. Some of it is positively weird in thought and construction. A contribu- tion recently received covered one typewriter page. There was a period or comma after every word and not a capital letter in the entire produc- tion. The grammar and the spelling would reflect credit on a Fiji islander after ten days study of the English language.

BUSY DAY FOR CLARENCE

From the Chicago Herald and Examiner.
 Cralence Harold Lipstrend is 16; parts his hair in the middle. wears button shoes and spends Thursday evenings at a Bible class.
 Everybody conceded that Clarence, when he found himself a job as mes senger in the Lake View Trust and Say ings bank, would rise high if they gave him time. But lot of conservative folks kept saying:
 It's shame to send that poor child around the streets alone with that bag full of money. Some day something will happen to him, mark, my words!'
 It happened yesterday Clarence had been to the branch office of the Pru- dential Life Insurance company, North Clark street and Aldine avenue, and was walking back to the bank at 320l North Ashland avenue, with $l200 in his little grip.
 lii Belmont avenue, just west of South port, three men butted Clarence from the sidewalk into a convenient vacant lot. One Of them rammed a pistol into his stomach and another took the money bag, while the third made suggestive motions with . blackjack.
 Got Aa gun?" demanded the robber with the blackjack.
 Heavens. mol" said Clarence
 But what whopper that was! Slung astern Clarence carried what was prob ably the largest revolver on the North Side. He hadn't ever used it, but he knew it was loaded and understood the general theory of making 1t say, "Bang"
 The robbers hadn't gone many steps with the $l200 before Clarence began to sprinkle them with bullets from caliber A. They ran and Clarence, weighed down as he was with artillery, dogged them through alleys and backyards ana cellars. The robber with the revolver was so busy being on his way that he did not get to fire more than once or twice, and then his bullets went wild.
 In the long run, so to speak, the ban dits got away. But all they got away with on Clarence Harold Lindstrend was their skins. The satchel and the sl2oo they tossed into an ash can to bribe, off the pursuit.
 After he had delivered the money at the bank and told how close he came to losing it. Clarence--with the full knowl- edge and consent of his counting room superors-stepped across the street to the drug store and firmly called for root
