Shall the Blues Go
Out of Existence?
Alarm sounded by Officials Who OPP
pose Giving In the Armery
TO Students.

Representatives ~ the Medical Col
lege of Virginia and the Richmond
Light infantry Blues Will appear be-
fore the administrative board today. to
discuss the proposition of turning the
Blues armory over To the Medical col
lege for quarters for students in train
ing for army work
Officers of the Blues organization
contend that the armory should not
be transformed into barracks. as the
organization itself requires the use of
the building. The Blues presents a
complete battalion organization. and
has taken the place OF the boys at the
front.
1t will be pointed out at the confer
ence today that the city has passed a
resolution giving the Medical college
permission TO erect wooden buildings
on the Ford lot, for the purpose for
which 1t is desired TO use the armory.
With the Blues driven from home
said an officer last niSht. "the organi-
cation itself will tend to disintegrate,
and the history of this grand old or
ganization is too sacred for any such
calamity to occur. 1t is TO be hoped
that the administrative board viii not
turn the armory over to. the college
with the permission already granted
by the city for the use of the Ford
lot there seems no reasonable excuse
in the college asking for the armory.

CAPTURE OF METZ NO
USELESS SLAUGHTER

Washington, Sept 16.-"In the
capture Of Metz by the Aneri-
can and allied forces there will
he no repetition of the useless
slaughter of troops like that suf-
fered by the crown princes army
in his frenzied frontal attacks on
Nerdun.'
This statement was made today by
high official in the war department
explanation of the fact. as stated by
staff officers and other war depart
ment officials, that the big guns Of the
American army were at this time no
nearer Metz than they were before
the St. Mihiel drive began.
II was shown that just before tho
launching of the great attack which
effaced the St MihieI salient the heavy
American artillery could have bonn
harded Metz vat any time. The bonn
bardment, however, would have been
useless, as it could not have been fol-
lowed up with an infantry attack
because the attacking forces would
have been obliged to pass the flank
fire Of the Germans in the st. Mihiel
salient The immense importance OF
the removal of the st, Mihiel salient
was seen by General Pershing In co..
operations with General Foch. and 1t
was determined to clear the way for
the capture of Metz
1t was also given as the opinion OF
the highest war experts, that the sit

SEPARATE SKIRT TO BE WORN
Spring and Summer Demand for This
Favorlte Garment Promises to
Far Exceed That Of Winter.

More than ever the separate skirt
has q definite mission In the we'll
dressed woman's wardrobe. It has
been worn this winter under the heavy
coat and it Is to be worn in the spring
and next summer with lingerie blouses
and sweaters Of silk or wool. Sepa-
rate skirts for spring will almost all
of them be made of silk. The con-
servation Of wool demands that wom-
en- use more silk and when climate
conspires with patriotism the task will
not be difficult. The new skirts are in
themselves so attractive that every
woman must desire them. They are,
Of course, moderately scant. but there
is never anything skinny looking about
them. OF course, there is much dra-
perry or plated fullness about the hips
In some of them. In others the hips
are we'll defined and such fullness as
there Is Is secured by clever plaits and
sometimes by stirring or the use of
hip Jokes. All sorts Of silks are used
In making these skirts There are
some striped taffetas-the stripe OF
satin-that are especially attractive.
They are made in heavy quality and
not only always look crisp and fresh.
but will give good wear.
