Country's Glory IndissoIubIy Con- nected With Reims, Especially It's
 Old and Marvellous Cathedral.

If citations of Metz have especially interested American readers, refer ences to Reims have appealed most to the French themselves. For Reims Is very dear to them-for historic. for patriotic for religious, and for liter ary reasons. Nothing. perhaps, has rejoiced our French allies more than the fact that the Germans have never been able to take Reims, however close they have come to it.
 It is the damage that has been done to the glorious cathedral of Reims that constitutes one of the greatest artistic tragedies of the war Here. in this magnificent cathedral. the kings of i'm perial France were crowned. Here Joan of Arc led Charles VII to his cor onation-the sainted Joan who freed Reims from it's enemies.
 One of the great pieces of news from the western front was to the ef- feet that Reims had been finally and definitely cleared from the menace of the German guns.

The next morning Wimburn woke from dreams of bliss to the realization that his hotel bill would require all of his funds except enough for the DOT ter's tip and few odd dollars.
 He could not buy Daphne an engage ment ring with a few odd dollars, and he was afraid to leave her without the brand of possession on her finger.

F0REWORD.

"The Thirteenth Com mandment' is an American story written by an Ameri- can for Americans. It is, according to a famous Eng fish critic, American to the bone and to the marrow of the bone" It deals with that eternal conflict be- tween finance and romance. It tells the story of what one IovabIe. modern American girl did when she discovered how often the CheckbOok'S groan droWnS the love song. In this story Rupert Hughes is al his best, and that best cannot be surpassed by any American author of the present day.

the bankers actually expected rates to
advance: This is not to say that the
banks have been clamoring for the 5 Il

they could sell more at that rate if they
could get it. And some of them find
also that they can dispose of more 5H

while ago. But business is not borrow
