SUFFERING FRANCE
DEFENDS DEMOCRACY
BY J. w. T. MASON.

NEW YORK. July A-Today on Bas-
tile day. the annual ceremonies In
France which celebrate the overthrow
of absolutism. will mark the birth of a
new France moro glorious than that Of
the revolution. The revolutionary
France. which destroyed privilege when
the BastilIe was captured by . mob of
citizen democrats, has now been fol-
lowed by a twentieth century France
fghting to safeguard the ideals of de.
mocracy which the revolution first gave
to Europe.
All the other warning nations are
open to criticism at the present time
for one phase or another Of the con-
lict.
France alone now stands above criti-
cism. France alone has grown greater
as the war has progressed. France
alone has shown an austerity In the
conflict.
Only in France can II be said that
the agony Of suffering is giving oirth
TO a new spiritual development. France
Is making no protests; France Is not
CRYING out against the inevita bleness OF
death: France h not engaged In SELF
pity nor is she querulous; nor yet Is
shs seeking the praise and sympathy
France Is bleeding. bleeding all the
while, but silently. The strength Of a
nations character never before has
been more manifestly portrayed than
by the profound silence that prevails
in bleeding France.
Every day France grows In the esti-
nation of mankind. Every day the
world learns more Of the manner In
which France has borne the orunt OF
the defense Of democracy on the bat
tie Held.
France has not told the story her
self, and therein Hes one of the foun-
dations Of her new greatness. the
of their valor and the tales Of their
Victories to the world at large. France
has left Others to discover her heroism
and her successes.
France has produced in Joffre the
type Of democra tic militarist who must
serve as the IDEAL to future generations
In all countries where freedom reigns.
Joffre typifes the new France.

Tommy Ruggles and Eddie Barnes
were schoolmares. Not only were they
schooImates. but little chums. They
left the grammar school and entered
the high school at the same time. From
the high school they went out into the
world 20 fight the battle OF life. Rug
gIed drifted into the political arena
and after an election. during which he
had done good work for his party, re-
cefyed the appointment of head of the
state penitentiary.
Barnes became a merchant in a
small way. He finally formed a part
nership with a man who swindled him
out Of all he possessed. A quarrel en-
sued that ended in scuffle, during
which Barnes threw his opponent,
whose head struck some hard sub
stance. and his skull was fractured.
He died. and Barnes was sent 70 the
penttentiary TO serve q term OF ten
years.
When Ruggles and Barnes met, aft
er not having seen each other for sew
er8I years-the one as keeper, the 9TH
er as convict-both shed tears.
TON. said Barnes, I'm sorry you
are my jailer- I cannot serve out my
time. and I am bound to try to escape.
And I wish to say to you now that
expect you to do your duty by the state
like an honorable man. You may kill
me while trying to capture me when
try to escape.
Don't try the escape game. Ed. It
seldom, if ever. pays. And in this case
IT would be hard on us both should
certainly do my duty, and you know
where that duty would lie. To me you
are only one among hundreds of pris-
0ners for whom I am responsible"
Barnes made an effort to serve out
his sentence without any attempt to
escape. But one day an excellent op-
portunity offered itself. He was in the
yard of the prison near a gateway,
which was opened to admit a cart A
storm came up, and the gatekeeper
was blinded by d cloud Of dust and
lightning. Barnes slipped out and ran
like a deer
He ran into a house not far from the
prison, where he found q woman. 1t
is difficult to repress sympathy with
one bounded for his life or his liberty,
and the woman furnished him with a
suit Of her husbands clothes, and
Barnes persuaded her to give him a
revolver. But Ruggles at the head of
a force was after him, and the convict
was seen leaving the house. He had a
good start, and when they reached him
he was on rising ground behind a
stone wall ready to defend himself.
Ruggies ordered his men to keep back,
telling them that he would go forward
and endeavor 10 persuade the prisoner
TO surrender. He walked forward till
he heard Barnes call out:
