W W neers and straight shooters.
The country was full of men
who had seen service in war against
the French and Indians. Washington
had been all his life a soldier. 1t is
not surprising that American officers
felt quite able to handle the military
situation without assistance from the
host of applicants for commissions
from abroad. Therefore when Wash
ington heard that young Frenchman
named Lafayette had left his wife and
child and crossed the ocean to serve
the American cause as volunteer
without pay, he muttered: "One more
incumbranee." But Lafayette pleaded ;
"Give me chance; ] do not want to
be an honorary soldier"
He went to Washington's camp and
there began friendship which ran
through so many years like an idyl. In
1888 Brissot visited Washington at Mt.
Vernon with a letter from Lafayette.

De Noailles marched afoot the whole
756 miles from Newport to Yorktown.
Young Saint-Simon, Chosen, Chastel-
lux, a brother of Mirabeau, a brother
of Talleyrand, Barras, later Director
Barras, and many other enthusiasts
for liberty were in the expedition.
They understood Americans. Equality
was the particular American trait
which impressed them most, and this
idea was imported by them from
America into France.
Rochambeau placed himself and his
army under the command of Washing
ton. The ragged Americans always
had the right of the line. In case of
equality of rank, the American officer
always took command. Not so much
as cabbage was taken without pay
ment. Before Yorktown the Ameri-
cans were not skilled in siege opera
tons, and Washington gratefully ac-
knowledged the service of the French
engineers. The French fleet closed the
river and the surrender came. With
out that French help we tremble to
think what might have happened.
Fired Lafayette's Ardor.
Toward the close of the year 1776
the duke of Cumberland, who was the
brother of King George III of England,
was travelling in France, and one day
he arrived at the town of Metz, then a
French possession. A certain count De
nrooI;a N ,-ntorop Of many hotfIar
was in command OF the garrison, and
to do honor to his distinguished visitor,
he invited some of his officers TO meet
him at dinner. Now it happened that
the duke of Cumberland was in dis
favor with his royal brother-he was,
in fact, in Punishment. He had lately
received news that certain of his
majesty's colonies in America had re-
belled and declared themselves free,
declining TO be subject any longer to a
tyrannical king. 1t would seem that
the duke of Cumberland told the story
with some gusto, as if he were not al
together sorry that his brother was in
trouble. One officer listened with par
ticular attention. He was youth, of
nineteen, tail and thin, with long
nose and reddish hair. His solemn ex-
preston and his somewhat awkward
manner contrasted strongly with the
frivolous ease and grace of the other
young officers present. He was a mar
quis of long descent. connected by
marriage with one of the greatest
families in France. and he had at his
own disposition a very large income.
He listened intently. he asked many
eager questions. and when he rose
from the table he had made moment
Gus and historic resolution. He had
resolved to abandon the pleasures and
luxuries of the gayest court in the
world, even to leave his young wife
and child, and to cast in his lot with
these strange rebels in America. In
his own words, "When first l heard o.
American independence, my heart was
enlistedt" That young man was La
fayette; and when the American army

there was a controversy as TO how the
procession was to proceed through the

fact that at one of the sharp turns. a
house so jutted into the road that the
generals coach could not pass. On the
morning of the great event, it was dis
covered that the patriotic family occu-
pying the property had cut off a sec

ANOTHER MAGAZINE IS

10y MORNING JouR.Al SPECIAL LEASED wsEl

New York, oct. 27.-For the second
time in the history of the modern
publishing industry a magazine was
issued today without the aid of com
positors. The experiment was first
made week ago by the Literary d.
gest, one of the scores of periodicals
forced to suspend typesetting by the
lockout and strike in the local print
ing trade. Nugents Weekly, a ma
tional magazine devoted to the manu-
facture of women's garments, fol
lowed the example of the Literary
Digest today with the announcement
that publication would be maintained
by the same process every week until
the strike ended.
The trade magazine claimed to have
made considerable advances over it,
literary contemporary in methods.
The same process of typewriting ana
and then photographing the pages
was used, but by use of a special type
writer the lines were Justified" OF
equalized in length. A special process
