LEXINGTON AND CONCORD WAGE PATRIOTIC WAR Having Terrible Time Dividing Inheritance as Liberty’s Take-Off. BOSTON, May B.—Lexington and Concord, twin children of Revolutionary glory, are having a terrible time dividing their inheritance. Tho rest of tho world may see the fight of the embattled farmers as a single flashing incident, extending along the road over which the redcoats marched. But Lexington sees it as all Lexington; and Concord, all Concord. And each sees tho other attempting to dim its own distinction. So jealous are the towns that when It was sought to bring President Coolidge back to his home state for the recent 160th anniversary of the battle, planned, figuratively, to have him speak with one foot in Lexington and one In Concord as a gesture of strict neutrality. Coolidge Involved But when the general chairman, B. L. Curran, went to Washington to invite the president, he found that Lexington and Concord, each liarl extended in advance a private and personal invitation for him to attend its celebration only. Coolidge caution prevailed, and the President declined all the invitations. Vicee President Dawes, hearing of tho storm, had all but sidestepped when General Pershing sent him a telegram begging him rto go through with the program like a brave soldier. Bach town naturally planned its celebration independently. In its program booklet each told th* wtory of April 19, 1775, ignoring as far as possible tho history of the rival town. Concord’s parade was held in the morning, Lexington’s in the afternoon. It happened that the 101st Engineers and other troops which were to participate in each event, were misdirected or lost on the road and did no" reach Lexington until two hours late. Rack and Forth Lexington asserts as loudly ns anyone that it knows the delay was accidental and that it Is sure no one would misdirect the troops wilfully. But one can not escape the air of suspicion which persists. “And they call that a battle,” sneers a Concord citizen, pointing to a contemporary sketch of the clash on Lexington common which indicates a small-sized massacre. The same good citizen has just finished telling you that there is no longer any rivalry and that it Is very deplorable that any feeling ever existed. But deep In his heart gleams Emerson’s Concord Hymn which tells that here they "fired the shot heard around the world.” "Os course, every time Lexington tells Its story it gets better,” says loyal Concord. “They have their Minute Man statue right out on the main road where every automobile passes. Ours is not so conspicuous. Ours is over on the battleground.” History of Battle Lexington tells you, of course, that there is no hard feeling and

there’s glory enough for all. However, it doesn’t omit to quote that Lexington is "the birthplace if American liberty.” “It does look a little small to see Concord’s attempts to get all the attention and credit,” remarks Lexington. “They’vo just brought out a book over there called ‘The Day of Concord and Lexington.' Everybody knows that the usual and natural phrase is ‘Lexington and Concord.’ ” This grasping at the rays of patri-

otic splendor goes back at least a century. The Marquis de Lafayette visited Concord on Sept. 2, 1824. The welcoming orator, Samuel Hoar, told him that upon that spot occurred ‘the firs* forcible resistance” to British arms. Another Holy War The town of Lexington took official notice of the slight and authorized one Ellas Phinney, Esq., to defend the local honor. He wrote copiously and dogmatically. The Rev. Ezra Ripley of Concord brought out an answering pamphlet. Each town rounded up Its surviving Minute Men and extracted from them affidavits to prove the awfulness of their own battle and the calumny of their detractors.
