MARSHAL FocH'S OLD UNIFORM.
"Al Paris is talking" it seems. be-
cause Marshal Foch in making an Of
fetal call on President Wilson was not
resplendent in gold lace but appeared
in an old forage cap and well-worn
blue uniform without decorations.
Sticklers for the niceties of etiquette
must admit the gravity Of the offense.
No doubt there has not been SO flag
rant a disregard of similar proprieties
by a great general since Grant met Lee
at Appomattox wearing a private sol
dier's blouse with only the straps Of
q general to designate his rank. And
Grants respect for the confederate
leader was unqualified. At least the
French marshaIs courtesy was in full
dress when he said that the visit Of
the American president paid France
the greatest honor possible" All the
wal medals and insignia in the world
could not improve on that sentiment.
But the incident may be taken as illus
trating by the absurdity of the public
ity given it how completely the var
has dispelled the old illusions Of gold
lace and military glitter. 1t has been
a bad time for the pride, pomp and
circumstance of war, for the plumed
troop and spirit-stirring drum and
royal banner. The art of war has
been stripped of its nonessentials, in
Guiding its haberdashery, says New
York World. At the same time, a o II
tempt of military. clothes is no doubt
more permissible in a marshal Of
France than in a lieutenant.

The events of the war just ended
will inspire poets, sculptors, painters
and composers for a thousand years to
come. But no poets soul will flame
forth an Had for Wilhelm, no sculp-
tors genius will visualize in his hate
full figure a hero great, no painter will
portray for century old halls of fame
his sinister countenance, no composer
will conceive a symphony to impart to
the souls of coming generations the
majesty Of his character, says Hous-
ton Post. In all the years to come
ever in the native land he brutalized,
betrayed and ultimately wrecked-his
very name will be anathema, and the
world will strive to forget hiEl because
he cannot be recalled except to make
the world shudder at the atrocities and
tnfamies which have damned his name
forever and forever.

st. Paul, Sept. 2O.-Veto of the ton
mage tax measure by Governor Burn
quist, and an unsuccessful attempt to
keep the lawmakers on the job for a
fight to repass the bill, created a
sensational climax to the 1919 special
session Of the legislature.
The house of representatives, by a
vote Of SO to 16, voted to remain in
session. By a vote of 80 to 81 the
senate voted to adjourn sine die. The
senate's action meant the end of the
special session. 1t would have taken
a joint resolution, passed before noon,
to have continued the special session.

The secret to Langdon's attraction to
