ence when the work is done for the
benefit of humanity.
France was always the van-guard's
torch-bearer of humanity. When a
people is dying it thinks of France.
When the Pologre ought to lose his
independence this phrase was pro-
nounced: God is too high and France
too far
"The morrow of his disaster, the
world saw a new France rising mira
culously, reformed, reorganized, re-
generated, to stand again for new con-
quest.
"In the great Madagascar island, in
Tonllin and later in Morocco, etc,
France still holds her tri-colored flag
which is the flag of civilization and
progress.
These few lines were written by
Belgian who also said: After having
made conquest of Europe by sword,
France, having lost it, she has re-
gained it by science and arts. All

science holds her influence and her
rights in every high school and labor
atory
"The French were the first to eX-
pertinent, with a great deal of sacri.
flee, on submarine navigation, the first
to rise from the earth, the first to
search the dirigibility of balloons.
They are now the first to rush above
the ground, wonderful birds futtering
toward the sunny inferiority.
"Other peoples have also their me-
rits when, with their qualities, i'm
prove the French ideas, but when the
/ entire world sees in a nation, such
marvellous reserve of energy, how can
any one affirm seriously that France is
dying nation?
mo! so long as Europe exists, so
long shall be a France, working, ac-
tive, struggling, making freemen.
! France still keeps its title of Moth
er nation" because the world knows
what she did to make mans mind
free The love of liberty, the sense
of justice, the spirit of fraternity, came
to us from France"
The German paper, Elsaesser Jour
nal, talking about France said:
France possesses an army advisably
disciplined, equipped and organized,
which has adopted year by year those
new inventions and modern improve
ments which Germany has only been
too slow in copying, although viewing
them, with envy"
Colonel Gaedke in the Berliner Ia
zeblatt pays a gallant compliment to
the French mechanicians when it
says:
1T is easy to understand the proud
joy of Frenchmen who in the domain
, of aeroplanes as well as of dirigibles
have blazed path for the.rest of hu
! manity; although this French pride
/ sometimes assumes a form which
oversteps the limit of modesty."
In an editorial of the New York Sun
! we real IldL Jue hSpuDuC gave IL
France the former and high place in
Europes council, and in the progress
of the republic is seen the French
spirit which astonishes the foreigners
France knows how to keep herself
out, of foreign complications, being
headed by men of choice, experienced
and able to conduct the foreign af
fairs.
"She has grown up a colonial EN-
pire, and conducts all the country'f
3 matters to the satisfaction of the
5 French people
t To-day she holds front to the so
+ cialists with fearlessness and clever
, ness, more than Germany and Grea
1 Britain.
S Prosperous and progressive repub
I lie, friendly with the neighboring ma
tions, France shows by her example
+ that Monarchical institutions ar,
f needless in Europe
France occupies today the place
among the nations, that few French
S men would have dreamed 40 years
q ago. That she may still occupy tina
! place is the wish of the Americans"
