A FRENCH YANKEE CONTRAST

In witnessing the joy at which the villagers return to their shattered homes as soon as the Hun departs get a fuller realization than I have ever had before of the strength of the Frenchman's love for. the home he has been deprived of four years, writes Henry J. Allen in the Kansas City Star. The French villager gen erally lives in the home of his an- cestors. These French do not gad about much. They stay in one place and they build their homes for all time. The other day in talking to some three hundred Americans [ saw how many lived at home ir houses builded by their grandfathers. Not a man in all the three hundred was even living at the place in which he was born In French audience of that size nearly all of them would have been living in homes builded by their grandfathers, or great grand fathers. They build homes and cities with an intention to live in them always and enjoy them.
