France on Its Knees.
From the Saturday Evening Post.


The sun was high when we reached
the little town where Gen. Foch, COM
mander of the armies of the north. had
his headquarters. 1t was not difficult
to find the building. The French flag
furIed at the doorway. a gendarme at
one side Of the door and a sentry at
the other, denoted the headquarters Of
the staff. But Gen. Foch was not there
at the moment. He had gone to church.
The building was near. Thinking
that there might be service, / decid-
ed to go also. Going up a steep street
to where at the top stood a stone
church, with an image of the virgin
almost covered by that virgin vine
which we call Virginia creeper, l
opened the leather-covered door and
went quietly in.
There was no service The building
was quite empty. And the commander
of the armies Of the north. proba bly,
the greatest general the French have
in the field today, was kneeling there
alone.
He never knew 1 had seen him. 1
left before he did. Now, as 1 look
back, it seems to me that that great
general on his knees alone in that lit
tie church is typical of the attitude of
France today toward the war.
1t is a totally different attitude from
brayer, not more resolute to an end.
But it Is peculiarly reverential. The
enemy is on the soil of France. The
French are fighting for their homes.
for their children, for their country.
And in this great struggle France
daily, hourly, on its knees, asks for
help.

TOMMY ATKINS IN FRANCE.
Shows His Adaptability Under Many
Domestic Circumstances,

A photograph from somewhere In
France" which has attracted general
interest is that Of an English soldier
lending q farmer a helping hand at
plowing a field. The incident is an
other evidence that the English army
in Flanders and northern France is
earning a reputation like that of Ma
poleon's veterans. When Napoleon
swept over Europe and billeted his men
in every country it was remarked how
entirely domesticated were most of his
soldiers, how they cut the wood and
nursed the babies and boiled the pot.
Judging from Wellington's structures.
the English soldier Of that period was
not equally to be desired as a guest.
But in France just now 1t is well un-
derstood that les Anglais are invalu-
able in the absence of the younger
men in the towns and villages. They
can turn their hands to anything.
No one knows where exactly the Eng
lish infantry private picks up his ex-
traordinary medley of knowledge, but
any one who has employed an ex-sol-
dier-as, for instance: a groom gar
sewing machine to cultivating roses
he is equal to every occasion. So in
France, between fghtingg the English
are appealed to in every emergency,
even 70 the watering OF Ine pldhls III
the winter gardens of coast-town ho-
tells. The French have the same fac
ulty. 1t is quite a sight to see the
French coming to take up their billet
in French estaminet. and taking pos
session Of the kitchen and doing their
own cooking with a complete absence
of fuss or disturbance. 1t Is sight,
too, to see a staff officers soldier serv-
ant in a French hotel helping the
chambermaid to do Chores" not with
out much gallantry and cheerful gig
glings.

The storm was trying It's best-Whicn
meant it's worst-to make q few rec
ords for Wednesday morning when
two women came together outside an
Office building door.
The one who was fat and f1ne. with a
fur stole that didn't in the least pro-
tect her couple of chins. stood under a
store awning. while chauffeur ap-
preached to umbrella her to the
closed car at the curb. The other wom-
an was mere business person, who
had spun out Of revolving door for
her daily spree OF coffee and sandwich
ham.
"Why, good morning. Do come over
and speak to me-
An awning, even when beautifully
striped, is not an IDEAL nook for social
discourse when the rain Is coming
down cats and dogs. still-one must
consider the fat friends Of ones for
mer prosperity.
So, the mere business person waded
over, said a word of greeting, men
toned the weather and was wading off,
when:
why should you notice tina. 1t is
cold and rainy? To me this Is just
June day. You see, I wear my clouds
with the silver lining out
you are also wearing what used to
be the exclusive property of mighty
fine seal, and when 1t comes to an
ina gination like yours a car helps out
whole heap, doesn't it?'
"Oh, you pessimist. That's the worst
of you business women. clever and all
that, but so materialistic in your views.

Italy on the Capitoline.
From the Richmond Virgipian

From the Richmond plrg1ll1an.
Italy has gathered on the Capitoline:
that hill where more glorious feats Of
arms have been celebrated than any
one spot in the world; that place where
kings, Caesars, emperors, dictators,
senates, all the vast audience of a Ro-
man triumph, viewed the conquests of
the world presented in triumphal pro-
cession. From a kingdom of Caesars to
one of fruit vendors has been a far
cry, but the latter day patriots have
been no less sensitive to the heritage
of the Capitoline. Modern kRome re-
turned to the scenes of her greatness
to prepare for another conflict. Led by
her mayor. prince of the reigning
house chow strange that a prince
should bear also the title of mayorD
Rome turned out en- masse to prepare
for its new war.
From the Capitoline to victory is a
long, hard, bloodstained road. When
next the Italians gather there to cele-
brate a triumph. If triumph Is theirs
in the present war, 1t will be that of
victory in a war greater. more I'M
mense, more savage, more overwhelm-
Ing, more unjustifable, more regret
able than anything the Caesars ever
inaururated or concluded.

net was leaking badly and in danger of
sinking. The men from the Monomoy
coast guard station were aboard the
