themselves. The sobriety of their
thoughts is reflected in their habits
and the driking of alcoholic bever-
ages has fallen off amazingly.
For the time being the typical citi-
zen was not thinking of profits or
business but of France and the COM
mon lot This has always been an
indiWdualistic country, almost as in
diVidualistic as our own. It became
now in way a country given over
to the spirit of cooperation, the in.
dividual lost sight of before the OBJ
ViOus needs Of the community.
The government had no practical
needs of acts enabling it to take over
railroads, factories and property; all
persons expected their government to
take what was wanted. No one ap-
pealed to the wOrkingmen to be pa
triOtic and do their best in the NUM-
ton factories; they would do that
anyway-fOr France.
What is still more remarkable, no
body seemed to have any thought of
glory or reputation. The newspapers
never make mention of any act of
service; acts of service are expected
of all. The most distinguished men
in France are doing humble labor
every day and nobody notes it. Emil
LoUbet, formerly president of the re
public, almost 80 years old, is serving
as a member of an obscure commit
tee that does not end of hard work
without recognition. So is Armand
FaIlieres, his successor in the presi-
Dental Office.
Service in the army is universal,
but 1 doubt if it can truly be called
compulsory. Judge for yourself. You
might say that the soldiers serve
without pay; the compensation is
merely nominal; two cents a day.
Yet, think NOT a word of complaint
is raised on that score.
Because her soldiers fight gTatui-

and $1.25 to so cents a week for each
child in Great Britain.
But the French government COM
handlers the houses in which the de-
pendants live and they pay no rent.
Incredible as it may seem, do not
hear that landlords make much COM

YOusget no rolls with your break

is a fine reason. Well, here it is.
Roll making is an art When the war
came some of the bakeries lost their
roll artists, who went to the front.
Then the other bakers said: 1T would
be unfair to take advantage of our
brother bakers that have been Grip
pied thus by the war of France. None
Of us will make any rolls" So the
roll has been abolished in Paris.
If that is not French l know not

certain dignity and reserve, and he
would be a poor observer that could
not see what it is that sustains the
mothers and wives of France in the
sacrifice they are making.
I would not seem too sanguine
about all this, but I do believe that
with it goes some perception, at least
among many people, that the France
for which they are giving up so much
is not certain leagues of land but an
idea. It is democracy against serving
feudalism, the republic against absO-
lutism. And I do believe further that
when this storm shall have passed the

Russians are directing violent counter
attacks against the forces which

While the principal German efforts
are now being directed against Dvinsk
largo forces are still engaged in an ef-
fort to cut Oft at least part OF the Rus

Petrograd is confident that this army
has made good its retirement The
Germans pin much faith, however, in
the ability OF Hindenburg's southern
wing and Prince Leopold's Bavarians
to cut across the path OF these armies
before they reach Minsk.
