French Always Ready
To Give Assistance

But let US leave for moment the
graves on which | have. with my own
hands. strewn the sweetest flowers Of
the spring, and let us turn toward the
living. toward those who, side by side
with our soldiers. are fighting for the
glory and the liberation OF the country
that love Everywhere my duties
have led me haze found Frenchmen,
who came here 10 help those who reed
their assistance and who have thrown
themselves body and soul into the
struggle. always ready 10 give away
everything, everything, even their
lives.
Nuns, nurses, soldiers. priests and
physicians: 4 thank you.
Formerly Rumania loved France as
one loves what is noble. worthy and
beautiful. But now. since France has
offered us, in addition TO her love and
genius. the blood Of her sons, we cher
ish her as a loving mother who CON
soles and supports the child whose

Kaiser's Army Ready to Crush
Any Sign Of Mutiny in Navy

A sklful juggler like vdn Bulow
might maintain himself in this nearly
impossible position for some time, but
a stiff Prussian bureaucrat OF the
Michaelis type must quickly betray the
real nature Of his policy. He might
have strengthened himself by accom-
plishing some snowy reform, but prac-
tically nothing has been undertaken IN
that direction.
The promises Of great reforms have
remained promises, and the only thing
that stands out as the result Of his
stewardship is the greatly increased in
fiuence OF the elements which must
carry on the war, because they know
that 10 them IT means either victory. or
destruction. 1t is only natural that the
more sensible portion Of the German
people feels less and less inclination 20
follow the Junkers and pan-Germans 10
inevitable destruction. Hence, the pop
ular outcry against this false leader.
Mutiny a Hopeful Sign
In the near future we shall probably
hear; more Of naval and military re-
volts in Germany. One of the most
hopeful signs of the naval mutiny is
tho fact that the Prussian "Kadaverge-
forsam" is beginning 20 break down. A
beginning has been made, precedent
created.
II is hard to say what part outside
influences are playing in creating and
fostering the present spirit of discon-
tent and revolt. That such influences
are At work is a fact Exiled German
democrats and republicans are hard at
work TO smuggle truth into Germany
from neutral countries. In France a
group of German soldiers are publish
ine literature which is dropped over the
lines by aeroplanes. These men who
are republicans went over 70 the French
for the specific purpose Of carrying on
their propaganda. Their leader, Sieg-
fried Bal6er, is a man Of great Literary
power. He has written many leaflets
and pamphlets.

They laid him down on a narrow bed
m the simplest room OF his hospital.
How strange and terrible was the great
.almness which was expressed in the
;ace of the great champion who had so
untirlngly struggled amid the tumult
Of life. Very quiet, at the foot of his
bed, there was sitting a young woman
who had accompanied him to this dis
tant country, and who now remained
alone, although no longer in foreign
country. Are not all those who have
worked together and mixed their tears
with their work members of the same
family? The black eyes of the young
widow were fixed on mine. They were
without tears; but in spite of her al
most divine resignation, there was in
her eyes that silent questioning eX-
preston. mixed with terror and de-
spair. which | have so often noticed in
the eyes Of those who witnessed the
death Of those who were dearest to
them.
On a bed, which was Just as plain as
that of the master at her side, there
lay Sister Angelo, who died almost at

side By side; he, who was the champion
of science, and she, the humble SER

A SUFFRAGE parade is no new
N thing. Suffragists have
marched at night and at noon,
in rain and sunshine, in Washington,
New York and Chicago, by thousands
and tens Of thousands, in the last six
wears. Yet the woman's parade that

day Will be different from all other
suffrage professions.
All other suffrage parades have been
decorative. In 1912. with luminous yell
low lanterns. the suffrsgists marched
up Fifth Avenue under the stars. and
the line Of moving, softly glowing
lights made a festival Of the staid old
street that the onlookers did not soon
forget. In 1914 the phalanXes of white
clad women followed Inez Milholland's
white horse up the avenue, and the
Fifth Avenue clubmen who threw flow
ers down on the lines were no more
appreciativc Of the beauty Of the pro-
cession than were the bystanders on
the curb who pinned verbal orchids TO
the ladies' that day. The 1915 campaign
parade was a magnificent show 28.000
women, marchIng all afternoon, their
white skirts and yellow streamers blow

T,HE tragedy played in all parts of
the world during the last three
years is boundless, and the num-
Der Of those who voluntarily or in
voluntarily are taking part in it is
so astonishingly great that human
faces are like shadows, wavering for
moment before passing away, and
soon they are replaced by others
which, in their turn, also disappear
Thus again and again new faces loom
up and disappear in an uninterrupted
succession of heroes who remain name
less because of their great number.
But those who have stopped and
looked, who have seen and understood,
must remember these unknown names
and think Of these deeds which
are unknown to the world, in order
TO be able some day in the future to
bring them an offering on the great
altar Of recollections. the fame Of
which is already rising high toward
God.
This is the reason why ! wish to
