possible for US to meet the expenses
brought about by the war, and we
have not found 1t necessary to have
recourse to loan. The Bank OF
France is in condition, thanks to its
excellent standing, to furnish the
treasury with resources and to aid IN
the establishment Of the economic
life of the country. All this Is evidences
of the vitality Of France, Of the sure
ty OF her credit, and of the confidence
which she inspires everywhere. In
spite of a war which is shaking and
impoverishing the world, the French
bank note is accepted at premium,
the discounting Of commercial paper
grows daily and the totals obtained
from indirect taxation increase. All
this is manifestation of the economic
strength of a country which has adapt
ed itself with facility to the difficulties
arising from deep seated trouble and
which declares before the entire world
that the conditions of its finances will
permit 1t to continue the war until
that day when the necessary compen-
sations shall be obtained.
Gentlemen, the day of final victory
has not yet come, and until 1t does our
task will be one of great difficulty. The
way may be long and for this let us pre-
pare our spirits and be ever courageous.
We have inherited the greatest burden Of
glory that any people can carry. AL
ready the country has agreed to make
every sacrifice that this duty entails.
"If this contest is the most gigantic
ever recorded in history. 1t Is not be-
cause the people are hurting themselves
into the warfare to conquer territory. to
win enlargement of material and eco
nomic and political advantages, but be-
cause they are struggling to determine
the fate of the world
Nothing greater has ever appeared be-
fore the vision of man.
Against barbarity and despotism
against the system of procovations and
methodical menaces which Germany
called peace; against the system of MUIR
der and pillage which Germany called
war; against the insolent f1egemony of a
military caste which loosed the scourge,
France the emancipation, France the
vengeful, at the side of her allies, arose
and advanced to the fray.
THAT is the stake. 1t is greater than
our lives. Let us continue then, to have
but one united soul and tomorrow In the
peace of victory we shall recall with
pride these days of tragedy, for they
will have made of US more valorous and
better men,.

Travel and Comfort.

Comfort is only another term for
habit. The older we grow the more
"sot" we become until any break In
the routine Of existence spells discom-
fort. Ones slippers must be beside the
bed and ones clothing disposed on the
same hooks and chairs day after day;
the water for shaving must be Of the
right temperature; breakfast is want
ed. and so through the twenty-foui
hours.
Now, travel disarranges this routine;
therefore it is well to travel-more OF
less; to fish for slippers in the welter
Of a valise's contents. to shave with
cold water. to breakfast at some one
else's convenience and in general to
move along the line of most resistance.
Even good habits need disrupting now
and then, for the pursuit Of comfort
leads to selfishness and inconsiderate-
ness, as the paths Of glory lead but to
the grave.-Chicago Tribune.
