important portion OF the long
line of conflict now raging all
the way from the inundated
territory between Dixmude and
Newport on the North sea, down to
the southeast at Muelhausen and Alt
kirch, near the Swiss frontier. The
valleys of the Aire extend Longitude
nally through the Argonne district,
which is fact of the utmost impor-
lance, as the region forms a natural
bunwark for the protection of north
eastern France.
Many forests clothe the rocky Ar
COME plateau, which extends along
the borders of Lorraine and Cham
payne, and forms part of the depart
ment Of Ardennes. Strictly speaking,
the Argonne region is about sixty-three
miles in length and between nineteen
and twenty miles wide. 1t stretches
In a southeasterly direction between
the Aisne and Mouse rivers, forming
the connecting link between the pla-
teau of Haute Marine and Ardennes.
It's average elevation is estimated to
be about 1,150 feet. Among its num-
erous forests the beautiful forest Of
Argonne Is especially well known. The
region contains many steep and diff
fcult defiles which materially in
crease their strategic importance.
These defiles lead from the basins of
the Mouse to that of the Seine, a dis
trict already famous from the Argonne
campaign of Dumouriez ip 1892.
The Prussians under the duke of
Brunswick were disastrously repulsed
at Valmy, a little village SO miles
southeast of Reims. The battle Of
valmy, fought September 20, 1892, is
often classed as one of the most de-
cisive battles of the world.
ReIms Great Commercial Center.
While Reims is principally noted for
It's famous cathedral, it Is also one of
the most important cities of France.
It lies on the Vesle, in the department

Of all Is the odd way in which the

lightfully reminiscent of medieval
times, and seem a portion. of some
vanished village.
Nancy Fine City.
Across the plateau OF the Argonne to
the southwest lies another charming
city, Nancy, the capital of the depart
ment of the eMeurthe ct Moselle. 1t is
the seat of a bishop and was the for
mer capital of Lorraine. 1t was once
the residence of the dukes, of whom
Stanislaus Leczynski,. the ex-king OF
Poland, was the last It is considered
one of the most picturesque and best
built cities of France, the surrounding
vineyards adding greatly to the beauty
of its situation.
Since Strassburg was taken by Ger
many, Nancy has risen in Importance,
and now her academy is of high re-
pute Nancy's Ecole Forestiere, or
forest school, is the only nursery OF
the kind in all Europe. Until a few
years ago the British government sent
pupils regularly to this school of for
estry, under the charge of an officer.
Nancy boasts a fine hotel de vile,
which was built in the seventeenth
century, and it is hoped this will es-
cape the fate of Louvain.
In the Grande rue is the Palais
Ducal. It's handsome porch dates from
the beginning of the sixteenth century
The building illustrates the best form
OF late Gothic in France. Within the
aucal palace is another museum, the
Musee Lorraine, but the larger part
of the fine collection was burned by
the Germans when they invaded Nancy
in 1871.
Other Famous Towns.
Ecouen, beyond the forest of Mont
morency, is noted for its splendid
chateau. which was built in the six.
teenth century, and is typical of the
period. 1t is now utilized by the
French government as school for
the daughters of the members of the
Legion of Honor of lower rank than
those who are educated at st. Denis.

that case pink rosebuds would be more

Wide Braid Belts.

Wide silk braid is much used In the
new models of walking suits. Some
times it forms pockets, sometimes it ID
used to band long tunic. sometimes
It is used as a belt, run through straps
of the fabric of the frock it adorns.
Needless to say, the braid belt is loose
and placed low at the hips.

A bungalow for a small family, con-
tanning five rooms with good base
ment, is much in demand. The per-
spective and floor plan herewith illus
trated show a very artistic bungalow
arranged for comfort as well as looks.
The best architectural practice de-
mands that houses shall be neat and
pretty in appearance, as well as prac-
teal and comfortable, and the ten
dency always is for more comfort at
less expense. Modern architects are
inventors of Injuries. A home like
this not only embodies the means of
obtaining Injuries, but it combines the
artistic with everyday utilitarian
economy.
This bungalow is supported by
solid basement wall, which extends
well above ground, to give plenty OF
head-room. Most small houses are
heated by warm-air furnaces. Seven

The chief interest in President Viii
sons message to Congress lies in the
evidence or lack OF G. idence it offers OF
progress and education on his part A
year ago he dismissed with impatience
the notion that there was any urgent
need of putting the country into con-
dition OF genuine military preparedness.
LET there be no misconceptions he
blandly remarked in his message to Con-
gress last December. "The country has
been misiniormed We have not been
negligent of national defence" And TO
make good that futile denial of a self
evident fact he saw to it that Congress
did not add single unit to our officers
corps. to our mobile army twice the
size Of the New York city police force)
to our first line reserve of sixteen men
or TO our second line reserve of State
militia organizations.
A year ago the President rigidly re-
fused TO sanction any increase OF the
regular army. I'VE must depend in
every time of national peril, in the flu
ture as wen as in the past. not upon a
standing army, nor yet upon reserve
army, but upon a citizenry trained and
accustomed 60 arms"
Yesterday, however, he recommended
the passage OF legislation increasing the
officers corps of the regular army by
2.l03--or Al per cent.-and the enlisted
force by 81 ,722-or 30 per cent Nobody
who has studied the lessons OF the war
in Europe win think such an increase of
the regular establishment adequate The
greatest need of nation at war or pre-
pairing against the contingency of war
is trained officers. Trained officers are
not to be produced except under condi-
lions which give them the completest
possible military experience. A trained
officers corps must be limited in size by
the size of the regular army, which is
its school of the soldier
If we intend to create a system Of
genuine national defence, capable OF
meeting an invasion undertaken by Il
iirst-class military power, we should
have minimum regular army Of 25O.-
600. with from 10000 to $4,000 regular
officers.
President Wilson could hardly have
been expected to recommend an increase
