Yet he who pictures the gay French
Capital as the wickedest city in the
world knows not New York, or Lon
don, and confesses himself ignorant
of Hell-for-Sartin on the Gauges and
Yuba Dam on the Yarra, not to men
ton many other seaports Of less note
in deviltry.
In other days the wickedness of
Paris was got up largely for "the en-
tire stranger It's picturesque varie-
ties were for the most part imported.
The French are in nature, tempera-
ment and habit deco-ous and orderly
people. They are refined people.
They may be blood-thirsty when
reused, but they are not brutal, like
the British, nor obstreperous, like the
Yankees. They take their pleasures in
reason. There is, indeed, back
ground of sobriety, not to say of piety,
which, though it be not observed upon
the Boulevards, nor in the regions
about the Place Vendome, nor yet be-
tween the Gardens of the Tuileries-
where nevertheless the children play
and the Arch of Stars, which invites
the Elysian Fields to continue their
promenade out to the Wood of Bou-
logne, yet abounds in the less ambi-
thus streets and in the nlyriads of SIM
pie homes. The novels of Balzac and
Daudet give us only an occasional
glimpse Of these. The bizarre lends
itself more readily to the uses CT fic-
ton, and we oftener see the eccentrici-
ties than the virtues of French char
acter and life.
1t is perhaps because of this that
the proceeding of the French IN the
war-their solidarity, their puissance,
their quietude-has surprised these
who thought them spectacular, ex-
clanatory people. They set copy for
the rest Of us. In spite of the differ
ences in language, customs and en-
vironment there is certain affinity
between them and ourselves which is
likely to draw us closer together as
the events of the field, the camp and
the hospital become common expert
ence. Many an American boy will
find French wife. The more the
merricr. Half century hence may
the Yanko-F Franco children prattle a
dual tongue taught them by the grand
sire who bore the Tri-color and the
grandsire who brandished the Stars
and Stripes!
Vive Id France? Hurrah for the
French! Homage to the memory,
salute for the effigy of the Maid or
Orleans, whether in marble, or in
bronze, or in the loving fancy of our
heart of hearts! We need no longer
make the appeal, covered by the fol-
lowing lines written in extremis, for
it was answered when the Hun put
foot upon the soil of France
Joan Of Arc, Joan of Arc,
Don't your eyes
From the skies
See the foe?
Don't you see the dropping feur-de-
lis?
Don't you see the tears of Normandy?
Joan of Arc, Joan of Arc,
Don't you hear us calling you?
Come, lead your France to victory!

FOOD AND FUEL SHORTAGE

be just possible to raise the absolutely
necessary meat ration.
The relation of the general economic
breakdown to agriculture Is indicated
in both England and Germany by mat
tiers affecting the supply Of agricultural
machinery. In Germany there is a
most serious shortage Of all kinds Of
agricultural tools and machines, be-
cause the old ones have worn out and
there is neither metal nor manufacture
ing capacity to provide new ones.
In England the complaint particular
ly concerns the supply Of motor plows.
The government long ago promised
that thousands of these would be fur
nlshed In time to put a greatly in
creased acreage In cereals under culti-
walton In 1918. Now when the fall
blowing season is on 1t develops that
want of shipping or other reasons have
prevented the delivery of anything like
an adequate number Of these ma

Pathetic Appeal Dlsreaarded.

"Our laborlng class has endured
everything with the utmost calm and
the most impressive dignity, depressing
It's sufferlngs, its complaints and heavy
trials, sacrificing everything to its
ideal of liberty and independence. But
the measures which have been an
nounced will make the population drain
the dregs (Of the cup) of human sor-
row; the proletarlat, the poor upon
whom unemployment has been forced,
citizens of a modern state, are to be
condemned to forced labor without
having disobeyed any regulation or
order.
"In the name Of the families Of
workmen among which the most pain
full anxiety relgns at present, whose
mothers, whose ~iancees, and whose
little children are destined to shed so
many more tears, we beg your excel
lency to prevent the accomplishment
Of this painful act, contrary to In
ternatiOnal law, contrary to the dig
nifty of the working classes, contrary
to everything which makes for worth
and greatness In human natrue.
"We beg your excellency to pardon
our emotion and we offer you the hOm-
age of our distinguished consideration"

have, however, shown that the tubers
growing on the roots underground are
far more valuable. They come very
near to the horse chestnut in the

'The pond bullrush (Schaenoplec-

able underground organ. The horizon
tai roots, containing a great quantity
Of starch, form a good concentrated
fodder. If used in dlstllleries the
