and with an appreciation that rings
true.

rlently within ten minutes walk Of the
Porte Maillot, the main western gate

Seine can boast of n fully equipped,

which was begun only about August
IL, 1914, just as soon after the dec
laration of war as the military au-
thorities requisitioned the Lycee Pas
teur for use as an ambulance for
wounded soldiers.
The building, while yet under con-
struction, was taken by the American
Committee n the preparation as a
hospital was begun before the win
dows were placed and the doors
swung. Yet one heard such express

Lyce Pasteur, was while passing along

against a deep blue sky. the ensemble
batled in the warm glow of an au-
tumn sunshine. II produced a glo-
rious effect quite different from the
feeling of depression SO general over

raised in the American note, such
as the proof at the time of the deten-
