"France, battle-ground OF
Civilization"
"WorIPs Work"

UBJECTS dealing with France loom
large in the periodical literature OF
~ the week and month. Probably at
the head of these stands the October issue
of Worlds Work." which is largely de-
voted 10 can Appreciation Of France"
An interesting case for France as the
battle-ground Of civilization is made out In
this number. Tho following extract alone
should remove the study Of Latin from
the list Of unpleasant duties thrust upon
the unwilling schoolboy:
"Ten Of Croasy's epochal battles have been
fought since the beginning of the Christian
era. Four Of them represent victories which
were won on French soil--the Battle Of
Chalons, in A. D. 45l; the Battle Of Tours,
1872; Joan Of Arcs victory at Orleans. l4Z9,
and the Battle Of Valmy, In 1892. Another
was a great French victory won on English
soil--the Battle Of Hastings in 1906. Two
others the Battle of Blenheim, in 1904, and
the Battle OF Waterloo in 1sl5-were great
French defeats. IL appears, therefore, that
Of the ten most decisive battles fought in the
Christian era Ave were great French victories
and two were French defeats. No other ma
ton has any such military history as this.
This mere record indicates the part which
France has played in advancing civilization.
90 far as Europe is concerned the greatest
events in modern history have taken place
on French soil Al this time, when the
democratic nations have Joined hands to de-
liver France from tho cowardly attack which
Germany has made upon her. 1t is well TO
keep this fact in mind.
"Yet the territory which now comprises
France has q military history which ante
dates the Christian era. And this history,
like almost everything else affecting that
land. has the utmost interest for US In the
present crisis.
"Thers Is probably no production OF the
ancient world that has such an emphatic
modern ring as CRsar's description OF his
Gallo wars. Most Of US remember Julius
Cesar as a gentleman who spent the larger
mart OF his existence composing Latin his
tories that have since vexed the lives OF
millions Of schoolboys. Yet no work de-
serves more careful reading at this present
hour. The very first page OF the Gallo
Wars might almost have been written by
correspondent In the present war. The mrs.
people Caesar mentions are the Belgisns; OF
all the Gallic races, he says, the beiglsns
are the bravest,' and he attributes these quail

held it against six times their number for
four weeks lie Goflic's book Is the story
Of that struggle, day by day.
His account Of The last hour Of conflict
in the streets Of Dixrnude, as cited by Mr..
Bates, is worth quoting:
"'Germans and French now formed moth
ing but mass Of shouting men. They shot
each ether at close quarters; they fought
with their bayonets, their knives, their
dubbed rifles. and. when these were broken,
with their fists, with their feet, even with
their teeth. The German columns
were still pouring into Dixmude through tho
breaches in the defence. They pushed US
back to the bridges. One more at
tack was organised to bring of the nauros
company, which was retiring under terrible
fire. The remains OF several sections were
brought together, and, led by their officers,
they charged into the melee In the streets.
One purple-faced, sweating marine, who had
seen his brother fall, swore he would have
the blood Of twenty Boches. He went for
them with tho bayonet, counting zone, two.
three etc, till he had reached twenty-five.

life again. But the final words mark the diff
ference between fiction and truth: After
that he returned to his company, a mailman
for life.'"
Nine. Tinayrss LA Veillee des

E. less conventional attitude than that of
lie GOf1c:
ut Is simple romance Of Partisan life on
the eve of war. Unlike most French novels
and unlike the earlier ones Of Nine. Tinayrs
in particular, il is centred upon romance OF

the heroine is his wife; the story, If there
