French AnnexationofAlger
TIME annexation of Algeria to
France, proclaimed Il years
BY REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

THE annexation of Algeria to
France, proclaimed Il years
ago. today-February 8. 1872
was, with the exception of the Brit
ish rule in the extreme south at
Cape Town, the beginning Of the
white Mans Burden in Africa.
A burden Algeria has unques-
tionably been to her French con-
querors. Hundreds of millions of
dollars were spent and hundreds
of thousands of lives were lost be-
fore the specification" was brought
about.
1t was in 1920 that the trouble
between France and Algeria had its
start, and behind it was the al
mighty dollar" The French gov
eminent owed two Jewish mer-
chants of Algiers q considerable
sum of money, and the Dey of AL
giers, having personal interest
in the matter, had made repeated
applications for payment, but with
out success. Annoyed at this and
at what he considered insulting
language on the part of the French
consul, he slapped that officials
face in public. OF course, French
honor had to be indicated. and the
result was-war. After two or
three battles and fierce lombard
ment from the French feet, Algiers
surrendered, and the Dey took
himself off to Naples.
Once in AIgiers, the French of
course, remained. Their honor had
been amply vindicated, but they re-

went home so tired no one could get
word out of him.
1t was hard on the young wife.
She couldn't get her husband to go
out with her-too tired, he said,
and 50 he was-too tired with the
amusement he found entirely away
from his wife and his home.
He didn't want visitors; they
bored him unless they talked golf
or business. He didn't like music
in the evening; it lasted too long.
and he wanted to go to bed early.
He grew brown and sunburned and
we'll, and seemed very happy. but
his wife grew thin and pale. ana
seemed very lonely.
Is She Always to Blame?
One day the Wife's sister came TO
visit, and before she went away
she had the wife interested in
bridge, then in a reading club, then
in "A little private theatrical affair.
Every night was engaged-and ev-
cry afternoon, too.
And husband was delighted; he
didn't have to hurry home from the
links, for his wife was probably
not there till later than he. He
was proud of her new friends,
proud of her popularity, and he
didn't see that she was getting to
be an utter stranger who simply
lived in the same house with him.
She saw it, though, and it hurt
her bitterly that such an arrange
ment should be just what he want
ed; so she plunged deeper and
deeper into all kinds of amusement
all kinds of eXtravagances. all kinds
of friendships, all kinds of absorb
ing fads. She has no time. no
thought. no place in her life for
her husband at all, except when
the bills fall due
The other day | saw her at lunch
con in a downtown restaurant with
man a bit younger than herself.
She seemed very much amused at
the stories he was not too tired nor
too absorbed to tell her / wonder
when her husband will wake up
and see what he has lost and how
