The latest fad among fashionable
Parisians is having the tongue

NANCY and grapholoRy, aud consists
In having the character told by the

que. A long tongue shows frank
ness, a short one dissimulation; a
broad one unreservedness; q narrow
ono concentration. When the tom
que is long and broad it is q sign
that the owner is inclined to gossip
ing: when it is long and marrow
that he is moderately frank and
open. Those whu possess a short
and broad tongue are untruthful
and the people should be careful of
those whose tongue is short and
narrow for they are all as we'll as
bad tempered. The new science
makes sticking out the tongue not

WHERE GREAT ARMIES
ARE IN OPPOSITION

in a war between France and Ger
many lies in the fact that unless
Germany moves atross the Belgian
territory, neutralized by treaty, an
invasion of France would have to
be through the heavily fortified
French frontier proper.
The entire northeastern frontier
of France ia roughly 44O miles in
length. For a distance of about
ESQ miles this frontier line sep
arates France from Belgium and
Luxumburg. The remainder, about
100 miles. separate France from
German territory.
With the neutrality of Belgium
observed, the scene OF action would
be reduced to the splendidly forti
fed Franco-G German frontier prop
er.
This line of defense runs broadly
speaking; from Verdum to Nancy,
to Epinal, to Belfort and to Des-
canon. Each one of these cities
is the center of a group IF fortica-
lions extending northwest and
southeast and all facing the German
border. Each has its outposts and
its fanking protection and the line
is said to be virtually continuous
for the greater part of the entire
distance between Luxumburg and
the Swiss border.
Behind this line Of Notifications
France has q second line of defense
broadly speaking, running parallel
from Rheims to Chalona and to
Verdum and from Chalona to Lam
gres to Dion and to Becancon.
The second line Of protection is
from eighty to 100 miles from
Paris, and the first frontier line of
Notifications is, roughly speaking,
from l40 to 220 miles from the
French capitol. The French frontier
from the strait of Dover to Ger
man territory, the line which sep
arates France from Belgium and
Luxembourg, also is well protected.
Thus a German advance through
Belgium is, in effect, going
