CONTENTION MADE THAT ALL
FRENCH PEOPLE ARE CELTS

Paris, July 2O-French Celtic league
has just come into existence and part
OF its program is To prove that an
Frenchmen are Colts and that France
has never been Latin country. In
It's prospectus the new league de-
clares ,hat France is not Latin coun-
try, and that Frenchmen are of Gallic
and Celtic origin. 1t adds "Our an
cestors. the dark and blond haired
Celts, are our real forebear, just as
the Germans are the ancestors OF the
German people"
"This pretended Latinity." continues
the prospectus, lis contrary To his
tory, ethnology, linguistic science and
even common sense. Though the Gauls
we're incorporated I'm the Roman EN-
pire. they remained rebels until tho
end of the regime. And three hundred
years after the Conquest their patriot
ism was sufficiently strong 10 create
and sustain. during thirteen years, the
Gallic Empire, which subsequently CO.
operated with the Franks to destroy
| the Latin -Germanic coalition. Nor is
the expression Gallo-Roman found in
Latin writer's; but more than 1000
words I'm French are of pure Celtic
| origin. France remained Celtic
| throughout the Middle Ages, and up
to the sixteenth century"
The Celtic idea, it is contended
ought To be the definite incarnation
Of the French "Fatherand," because
it is the only one perfect enough an'
impersonal enough to unite al
Frcnchmen without distinction of par

he shouted cheerily to the man on
his back, and stumbled onward.
A yell from the ridge answered
him and a reneyed volleying.
Twigs, cut from the trees by the
hail of missiles, whirled past him
as though driven by cyclonic
force, bark flew from the palms,
and the grass was alive as though
with myriad insects. 1t seemed
incredible that anyone could
emerge alive out of that storm.
Then SIS! a red-hot wire seem

Richards saw that the pale yell
low of his coat was turning a
bright claret color. At last the
spell which had held. him scath-

Would God that death might find
him-but not till he had saved
Hutton alive, saved Lucy's hus-

of her soul, and dared to think in
his unselhshness that in time she
would learn to care for him
when he had long been forgotten.
But he would never forget Lucy,
if there were any memory after

trees spun around him. He seem
ed to be in Washington again,
seated at Lucy's side, under the
oaks. Only the thought of her

he reeled and fell forward. Lucy's

It Is my belief that he does not size

He has neglected State affairs to chase

Dental ambitions. and did not give during

finted. -.
on the job and devotes his energies 70
his duties accomplishes more and gives
better service than one who uses MS po-
sItion as a steppjng-stone tn something
else instead OF giving his energies 10 hls
employer. This is the attitude I'm IN nr,a wn,cn
the Governor appears to me: The people
chose him for Governor and he has not
been giving them his undivided efforts,
Some Of the appointments made by the
Governor are not the wisest. ana ye, IL
is noticeable that fiatterers. along with
few chosen friends who have been given
jobs. are the only campaign orators in
his behalf. That looks as II he, had
purchased their influence by poiiticai
patronage.
If chosen to go to the national conven.
tion, l shall go and vote for the best
Democrat obtainable. and that Is the
only pledge that l am under.
Mr.. Bergkamp Is a large real estate
operator in this State and New York.
