but practically remained as Boileau left
them until the great revolution. Louis
also added his share to the public build
ings of the capital. most famous of
which was the palace of La Cite. which
later became the seat of the famous
parliament; the supreme court of
France. founded by Philip ~, grandson
of st. Louis. Parts of the old struc-
ture of Louis which escaped the raw
ages of the commune of 1871 are sun
to be seen among the buildings of the
present Palais de Justice. Since Louis

tragic scenes; the hearts blood OF
French history is here.
Paris apparently took little interest
in the communal struggles of the era of
Louis VI and Philip Augustus, which
so wracked its neighbOrs. as Noyon
and Cambria. II had, in fact, little oe-
casion to raise the cry for popular
rights What restlessness there exist

royal court and the vast powers under
its control. In the main il was proud
of it's prestige as capital of the nation,
privileges We're considerable. The in
habitants could not be subjected TO
forced labor or arbitrary imposts- The
city maintained It's own citizen militia,

centuries. The administration was IN

and here the mystic words, Liberty"
Equality" and "Fraternity"-grim
words upon the lips of mighty peoples
rising to avenge the wrongs of CEN
turies-received their first baptism in
blood.
Yet Paris is a modern city. Compared
with Marseilles, the ancient, or Lyons,
the venerable, her history is of yester-
day. When Paris was only a cluster of
mud huts. where the fisher folk of the
Seine huddled for protection within the
friendly shelter of the river island.
Marseilles was already hoary under the
burden of a thousand years; Lyons had
been for centuries the capital of Roman
Gaul. glorious with stately temples and
lordly amphitheatres, marble baths and
luxurious villas. Moorish Cordova
could boast its miles of paved and bril-
liantly lighted streets when Paris still
sheltered in the squalor and filth of the
ordinary medieval city; its unpaved
streets lighted only by the Pickering
flame of the little lamp which piety kept
burning before the street corner ma
donna; its buildings overcrowded, with
out drainage and with a water supply
uncertain at best; the breeding place
of vice and pestilence.
In the time of Caesar the island set
tlement was known as Lutetia. 1t was
the seat of the loyal government of the
canton OF the GdlllC fdr1Sl, small
people. yet important enough to be in
volvec in the great insurrectiOn of the
year 30 B. c., and to have their capital
burned by Caesars famous lieutenant,
Titus Labienus. The early emperors
left the humble Lutetia of the Parisians
pretty much to itself, and its inhab-
itants, engaged in the simple river tfaf-
fic. took little thought of the history
which was making around them.
A new Importance was given to the
city by the father OF Constantine the
Great. who selected it as the seat of
government of the Western Praefec
ture, and from it ruled Britain, Gaul
and Spain. In 1870 some excavations
in the quarter st. Victor ran upon the
foundations of a Roman amphitheatre
Of this period, capable of holding 10000
spectators. indicating a population at
the time of perhaps 10000 or 10000
souls.
Paris does not again come into promi
hence until early in the sixth century,
when the Frank king, Chlodovech, re-
turning from the conquest of the Goths
in Aquitainia, moved his residence
hither from scissors: possibly that he
might have a position more central to
his expanding kingdom. Here he
erected the basilica of st. Peter and st.
Paul. which became soon after the
church and abbey of st. Genevieve. In
the frequent divisions of the kingdom

unless he happened to pi a galley of

But ordinarily it would be a repetition
of the old story. An editor was awak

the rather startling announcement that
a burglar was in the house. Let him

Paris. like Rome, belongs to Europe.
Her public squares have been the storm
centers of European politics. Her
courts have set the fashion for he
humber courts of Germany and Eng
land; her magnificent Louis has BEEN
aped by petty Augustus, jolly, fat and
useless; her palaces, her temples, her
luxurious mansions, initiated by the
lordlings of less favored lands. Her
schools have dictated TO the great uni
versities of the west; her servants
spoken with authority just short of the
sacred canon Here first the national
monarchy was blown into full power;

Three American soldiers near Calum-

teen wounded near San Mateo were
Sundays casualties on Luzon. There
were twenty killed and wounded the
day before. and dozen or more in the
last engagement before that. And thus
from day to day. at petty pace. the
war creeps on. As one of the soldiers
interviewed by a contemporary ex-
presses it, This is a funny war We
storm a place and drive the natives
out. Then We leave it and the natives
go back. Then we have to capture it
again" And this is a clever descrip-
ton of Otis conduct of the Philippine
campaign in which so many heroes
have yielded up their lives.
