verse.
Some Mud There, Too
The climate of France may be de-
scribed as temperate. Nowhere are
the winters severely cold, nowhere
are the summers extremely hot. All
parts of the country have at least q
moderate amount of rainfall, with
nowhere a very rainy or very dry
season. From place to place the elf
mate varies considerably, due ~ to
the considerable north-south extent
of the country, (2), to the distribu-
ton Of lowlands and highlands, (3)v
to variety of position with reference
to the ocean, and consequent expos
ure to ocean winds. Because OF diff
ference in latitude the north is con-
siderably cooler than the south. both
in summer and in winter. Because Of
difference in altitude the central plat
eau and the mountains on the south
and the east have markedly lower
temperatures, as well as heavier rain
falls, than the plains. Western and
northwestern France, because Of
proximity to the sea, have less
marked seasonal temperature ranges
and have more rainfall than eastern
France, whose climate is more con-
tinental.
There are many rivers in France.
since 1t Is a country with plentiful
rainfall, bnt most OF the streams afs

The most significant fact In the
geography of France Is its position.
1t is situated in the western part Of
the European continent. England Ia
a near neighbor to the north; Bel
GUM, Germany, Switzerland and
Italy are neighbors on the east, and
Spain is on the south. The Atlantic
borders the country on the west, the
English Channel and the North Sea
are on the north, and the Mediterra-
mean Is on the southeast.
As q consequence of this position
France is in close contact with the
other important nations OF Western
Europe, and is able to reach all the
rest of the world by sea. The result
is that France all through its history
has had many and complicated rela-
tions with outside countries. Never
has the significance of geographic DO
sition been more strikingly evident
than in the most recent chapter of its
history, that of the Great War.
Hun Her Chief Enemy
Frances chief enemy is Germany,
one of it's eastern neighbors.
Frances chief ally is Great Britain,
the neighbor to the north, and two
other allies are Belgium and Italy,
neighbors to the east. The United
States has been able to join its forces
and resources to those of France by
virtue OF the fact that the ocean high
way offers relatively easy connec-
ton, In spite of the great distance be-
tween the two countries.
In area and in population, France
is one of the medium-sized countries
of the world. It's 100000 square
miles make it about the size
of Germany, or not quite four times
the size of Illinois. It's population Is
thirty-nine millions, whereas that of
Great Britain Is forty-fve millions,
and that of Italy Is thfrty-four mil
lions. Compared with the United
States, whose area is something more
than three million square miles and
whose population is about one hun
dred millions, France is a relatively
small country
About five-eighths of the area of
France is less than a thousand feet
above sea-levei (see the map). Most
OF this lowland area is in the north
and the west, where most Of the cul-
t1vable land is located, and where.
because of absence of marked topo-
graphic barriers, communication and
transportation are relatively easy.
'The south and east are mostly hills

is meaningless. Especially is this true
of the man who has lived in the open
and who feels that he is physically fit.
He can understand why the man drawn
from sedentary pursuits must be hard
ened by exercise in the open air; but
in his own case there seems to be no
reason why he should not be sent to
the front as soon as he has learned how
to shoot. And the chances are that he
believes he Is as good shot as the
man with the marksmen's medals.
Upon reaching France the same i'm
patience is notedthat characterixes the
period of their training In American

THE MEANING OF DISCIPLINE

President Wilson. in his speech at
the opening Of the Red Gross Drive,
told of an Indian who had returned to
his reservation after period spent in
a military training camp.
The Indian was asked how he liked
the life Of a soldier. q
"Not much good" he replied; TOO
much salute. too little shoot"
The reply of the Indian was char
acteristic not alone of his race, but of
the average American.

things that are worth keeping are
worth struggling for; those that are
not worth keeping give them no con-
Germ when the real issues are seen.
It has taken the scourge of war to
teach men who had known no high
resolves that they were capable Of
rising o unknown heights of courage
and that quality which is finer
still-Vlstained fortitude.
The grandeur and the glory of war
have ca He'd to the souls of selfish men
who lived in the money marts4 and
the miracle is that they have heard the
call ard needed it. Their souls have
joined the souls of heroes long since
gone and their bodies lie on the field
of France and Flanders.
No, little Sir Rufus, you may not
wear the shining armor and you may
never meet in a knightly tournament
for the favor of little Gwendolyn. But
when you grow to manhood and Ar
thur is full grown, too, you will fight
just as your father is fighting, if needs
be-but, please God, there will not be
the need. Side by side in the same
trench you will fight with little Arthur,
not that you, may win the favor of
Gwendolyn, but that her honor may be
held safe; and that your homes and
country may be inviolate.
Lady Gwendolyn may never wear
velvet, and flowers may find no place
on her corsage.
Her dreams of the glories and the
grandeur of war may be rudely shat
tered, too. For she may be wearing
overalls instead of fine velvet, and
planting potatoes instead of plucking
flowers. But hers, too, will be a glori-
Gus part, as some day you will under
stand.
