SELF-SACRIFTCE
 NATIONAL TRAIT

War has wrought a wonderful change in the character of the French people, Frederic Abernathy Coleman, all American war cor respondent, told the members of the Municipal League at their luncheon yesterday in the Washington An nex.
 Those who knew France before the war and who have visited there recently are astOunded at the re- suit brought about by the great con- flict," declared Mir. Coleman. "In the other combatant countries self sacrifice is individual, but in France it is national. All France, every person and every interest, is in the war. This national self-sacritice has built an entirely new character for the people. De9pite their ter ribIe trials they are cheerful. In The deepest hour of their deepest gloom they are hopeful. France at the end of the struggle may not ob- +ain any great material advantage, but of all the nations engaged in the conflict she will emerge the greatest in an idealistic sense.

other men in Pensacola and that these
three shares were held only as a blind
