COMMITTEE SENDS
2 WOMEN TO FRANCE

Miss Grace Marling and Miss Cath
crime Wetmore have been sent to
France under the auspices of the AM
erican Huguenot Committee, which
represents in America the Franco
Belgian CHARACTERIZATION Committee.
The committee states that it is at
present impossible to send these wom-
en- direct to the towns occupied by
the Germans, in which the French
pastors and deaconesses are working
Consequently they are temperOrarily
loaned to secular organization, La
Societe Seeours d'Urgence, of which
Madame Joffre is president and Mad
anne Niviani is vice president
The underlying purpose of sending
Miss Mar,ing and Miss Wetmore under
these auspices and on such a mission
is that by their presence and service
among the French Protestant workers
they will form visible link" an evil
dence OF the sympathy existing bet
wecn the churches of America and

REMOVAL OF BELLS OF
FLANDERS-THE GREAT
POETIC VOICE OF
FLANDERS SILENCED

I A Fleming, moved to sorrow by the
seizure of the bells decreed by the oc-
cupant of Belgian territory, has an
article in a great Dutch paper, the
most characteristic passage of which
are translated below:

| in times OF peace sounded so divinely.
We have some celebrated bells,
such as Melchior. the bell of victory,
in the tower of the market place of
Brugges, which adds deep note to
the sound of the IS bells of the chimes
one OF the most sonorous in Europe.
We still seem to hear Carolus, in the
lace tower at Antwerp, joyously ring
ing on holidays or tolling lugubriously
on solemn and sad occasions, like the
day when we accompanied that I'M
forgetful burgomaster, Jan van lis
wijk, to the grave. We were at the
tower of ST. Rombout of Malines near
to Salvador. and Rumoldus, and Car
olus, and Maria, and Lubertus, and
fully and musically managed his keys.
We think of the belfry OF Alost, which
was the very first, according to tradi-
ton, for Ccecke, the inventor of
chimes. lived in this little city in the
eleventh century
And how many OF the villages of
Flanders, unknown outside of their

our surprise when, on visit to the

Brugges, is the oldest bell of Flanders

This is what we read on the

been sounding from the little tower

But where shall we stop if we once
begin to speak of the bells of Fland-

The brutal ordinance of Won Fal-

THE HOUSEHOLD
VIII We Be GaIlacized?
Edited by ANNE RIrTENHoUsE


Just at present France is under
going, In a measure, an Americanizing
process. Used as French men and
French women have always been to
the American tourist, they have never
had SO great a chance to become ac-
quainted with the American type of
manhood and American ideals as since
our men went to live among them. For
one thing they have learned that the
American is a bath-loving animal and
a fresh-air loving animal. In one
small town in northern France the
great demand Of the American, element
was that the one bath in the place
be opened every night in the week
instead Of only Saturday night. The
few private bathtubs had to be put
into commission whether or not all
expert plumbers were at the front.
The American went about it good
naturally, insisting that he had to be
bathed. This proved very interesting
to the Frenchman, who has always
had less exacting demands in this
matter Then. too, the American Of
ficers billeted in French households
showed a surprising demand for fresh
air and actually caused the good
French folk to fear that they and all
their households would be poisoned
because they opened their windows at
night to permit the night air in the
house.
In the meantime our men are learn
ing just as much from the French as
the French are learning from us. If
all the letters from all the men in serv-
ice over there could be collected we
would see that our men have not been
dull to feel the effect of French civil
ization. Especially have they bee-
impressed on every hand by the

Frenchman's demand for. the beauti-
full. The young American farmer has
been observing-and he has written to
the folks at home telling them about
1.-THE faculty of the French farmer
to make a park out of his garden
patch to produce beautiful as we'll
as an efficient arrangement of his
crops, his buildings, and even his farm
implements. The soldier who keeps
some sort of store over here has been
filling his head with ideas about the
way the Frenchman keeps that same
sort of store. He is being impressed
by the Frenchman's wonderful eye for
harmony and fitness, and he is going
to bring valuable ideas back to this
country for his own problem in store
keeping.
The letters show that impressions of
this sort are being formed, and the
interesting thing is that they are not
all coming from Paris or any of the
usual channels for French influence.
This influx of French ideas will there
fore be rather different from anything
we have ever had before. and there
is no doubt of the fact that after the
war the word French and such adj
jectives as Frenohy will have a differ
emit significance than they have had
in decades past.

LARGE WAR PROFITS
Plenty From Which to Draw Large
Revenue by Tax.

Washington, June 21.-Excess
profits have risen rapidly since this
country entered the war despite price
fixing and other restrictive measures
according to treasury department data
now in the hands Of the house ways

These data, which covered profits OF
every line Of business in addition to
profits of many individual concerns, is
to be used by the committee in franz
ing the new revenue bill, which will
be aimed to raise $4,000, 100000.
The figures discount absolutely the
plea from big financial centers, that
the government price fixing policies
had cut profits to such an extent that
the committee would be hampered in
levyiag taxes, committee members de-
