Lire cannot undertake to enter correspondence or to reply to inquiries. By “best” is understood that title which most cleverly and briefly de- scribes the situation shown in the pic- ture. No title submitted shall consist of more than twenty-five words. Hyphen- ated words will be counted as one. Contestants may send in more than one answer, but each one must be on a separate sheet, with name and address plainly written. The contest is open to everybody. In case a prize is won by a Soldier or Sailor $100.00 extra will be added to the first prize, $50.00 extra to the sec- ond and $25.00 extra to the third. By the term Soldier and Sailor is meant anyone, no matter what the rank, in the uniformed forces of the United States government. In case of any dispute as to the status of a winning contestant under these terms the Editors of Lire will be the sole judges. But a liberal interpretation will be placed on the conditions. The contest is now open. It will close at noon on May 6, 1918, no manu- scripts received after that time being considered. All manuscripts should be addressed to the Contest Editor of Lire, 17 West Thirty-first Street, New York. E: velopes addressed in any other way will not be considered. Envelopes must contain nothing but the competing title and the name and address of the send- er, plainly written, all on the same Dah nye bon | i 5 For the Best Title to this Picture $800 will be given in Prizes See conditions on this page sheet. If you have anything else to say to Lire, send it in a separate letter. The Editors will not be responsible for the loss of manuscripts. Contestants are advised to keep duplicate copies.

In the Place de Rivoli A ZOUAVE bugles silver tone Rings through the Place de Rivoli, Where, carved in immemorial stone, Jeanne d’Arc rides on to victory. Along the highroads, night and day, Young, dusty, trench-worn, row on row, Their hard-set faces grim and gray, With gaping ranks the legions go. Yet, who shall doubt and who despair, That sees, undaunted, strong and free, Astride her straining charger there, Jeanne d’Arc still ride to victory! CB. “ ee ne
