Nous n'avons pas q exposer lei

La bataille de rYser ct d'Ypres
est une des plus bellies victories de
la gaerre. LIE general Foch lutte
avec six corps contre seize. Mais
cette in6galit6 de force ne repre-

Ce qui est admirable, c'est que,

The folklore of Kansas is about to
find its way into print to some extent
thru the work of the Association Of
Teachers of English, and their Bull

have, what we lack might be more
apparent. While stories of Civil war
days are appearing, and few of the
Negro as seen in Kansas, the colonies
of Pennsylvania Germans, or Swedes.
Germans, Swiss, Dutch, Russians,
French, Italians, Bohemians, Greeks
and Mexicans are untouched in fic-
ton, and almost as little in history
Even the common, but indescribable
prairie fire of pioneer days has not
been even partially portrayed in fic-
ton or fact. The Wakarusa, the
Kaw, the Solomon, the Arkansas APP

stand waiting with legends and his
