% We Really Know the French?

There has been much talk of
France having been reborn through
the agony of this war;" says Alex
ander Powell, in Brothers in Arms"
to be published on June 2, by E$ough-
ton Mifflin Company. Therein we are
wrong. 1t is merely that we Ameri-
cans have known the French only
superficially, and that, in thinking
and speaking of them, we have in
dulged in the careless and inaccurate
habit of generalization. We have be-
lieved them lacking in seriousness
and perseverance, and we have
thought them Volatile and tempera-
mental What have we known of
the sober, simple-hearted, industri-
GUS, frugal, plain-living deeply relig-
ious people s'ho are the real France?
France has not been reborn. 1t is
an affront to her to say it. She has
but cast aside the glittering garment
which she wore for the qualification
of strangers in order to free her
sword arm"

Treat the Private With Consideration

Roger Batchelder, in Watching
and Waiting at the Border" just pub
lished by Hougton Mifflin Company
has written the story of the National
Guards experiences at the border,
from the point of view of a private.
Mr.. Batchelder, who is still an un-
dergraduate at Harvard, was a mem
Der of the machine gun company of
the Eighth Massachusetts, regiments
One of the most telling points in his
uncommonly interesting book is his
account of the treatment which the
privates received at the hands of
some of the civilians in Texas. "A
soldier is never welcome anywhere
unless it is pay day." says Mr.. Batch
elder; then he is greeted with the
proverbfal open arms 8 = I have
heard accounts from other men of
incidents which sound incredible, but
to which 1 give credence. One man
told me that citizen attempted to
charge him five cents for a glass of
water. And at dance hall in Ysleta,
small town near FL Paso, the pro-
prietor placed the following sign at
the door: Dancing for Ladies and
Gentlemen; Soldiers and Dogs Not
Allowed" The reading of Mr..
Batchelder's book ought to arouse
the public to a worthy determination
to treat enlisted men with all pos
sible consideration.

PRICE OF BREAD IN ENGLAND
Why 1t Il Sold Cheaper Than In the
United States.

Today and for months past bread
and flour have been cheaper in Great
Britain than in the United States. and
this Notwithstanding England imports
three-fourths of this foodstuff from
overseas. After September II the
one-pound loaf cannot be sold there
for more than cents, while hero
our bakers get 10 cents for the same
size loaf.
The explanation Of this peculiar
condition, condition which has puz-
zled Americans and caused no end Of
adverse criticism, is that the British
government has exercised rigid con-
troll over the trade. 1t has supervised
1t most carefully has prevented profi-
teering and has conducted a success
full campaign against waste.
But the British went a step further
on September II when the govern
ment launched n subsidy policy which
costs 5000, 900. 900 annually The food
dictator supplies wheat to millers at a
price that enables bakers and retail
ers to sell n four-pound loaf FOR
Is cents or one-pound loaf for
not more than cents end the
millers and traders make reasona BILE
profit. Every pound Of flour and
every grain Of wheat entering Great
Britain is under the absolute control
OF the government and to still further
satisfy the demand for cheaper bread
the subsidy mentioned has been pro-
vided for.
