BRIGHT LIGHTS
 OF ALL BUSINESS
BY THE UNITED PRESS


 Washington, Octofner 22-(UPl - There are varying definitions of the height of indifference, but the height of naval intoxication un- was achieved by g capi- tai visitor to the Yorktown Sesqui- centennial celebration.
 Officers of French cruiser Du- quesne invited many guests aboard to quaff champagne. of which there was much = all perfectly legal, of course.
 One guest drank well and often. Coming unexpectedly upon a bot tie of Martinique rum, this gentle man scampered up to the crows nest and there remained with his bottle until a French marine climbed up to report:
 "Sir, your barge is ready"
 And there was the matter of the carpenter's lunch. In re- hearsal = full dress - of the Bat tie of Yorktown. General Lincoln turned to General Washington:
 "Sir," stirred General Lincoln, "as .commander-in-ch of the continental armies, will you not accept the honor of firing the first shot at the British ?"
 General Washington would and did. As the fuse of the old-time field piece was sputtering there there came flying across the field an excited carpenter:
 For Gods sake, fellows" he shouted. "don't shoot that thing!"
 But the agitated one was too late. Just as he arrived the fuse touched the powder charge and the carpenters lunch, which he had secreted in the muzzle of the cannon, was no more.
 Then there was the matter of the flag = a French flag but sup piled by the quartermaster corps of the United States army. It was run up on a pole near the grand stand. A guard of honor came ashore from the French cruiser Suffern. All day those so hand some French marines stood by the pole atop which was the emblem of France. W
 The moon came up and the sun went down, and a sergeant of the United States army arrived. bent on hauling down the tricolor that ~ ttAkShI p0 EClhEhS0 IO lHC Quak . |termaster store room for the night.
 "Mais non!" protested the French corporal.
 "But yes!" said the sergeant, reaching for the halyard.
 "Non, non. non," screamed the outraged Frenchman, and he low cred to the pit of the sergeant's stomach a shiny sharp bayonet.
 The sergeant retreated but re- turned quickly on the run with Q squad of American soldiers.
 And but for the arrival of a wise though youthful American lieuten- ant. the armed forces of France and the United States might have mixed bayonets on the field where French and American troops once fought side by side.
 The young lieutenant advised the sergeant to permit the French to haul down their own flag - or to leave 1t up if they so desired.
