Paris, July AFTER four years of
war, France has found herself.
AS write this, in the suburbs of
Paris, there is a ceaseless, sinister
muttering, faint and persistent. in
creasing ominously when the breeze
comes from the northeast. Those who
were here in the fall OF 1914 know
what that distant growl means and
whittier it is tending. Two years
later it came to us again across the
hills from Verdun. The fate of the
struggle is still on the knees of the
gods But whatever betide, this much
is certain-the victory of the Marine
has been fought out to its final con-
clusion. At last France has found
herself.
For there was a double battle of
the Marine. There was the military
battle, which, like Valmy sorMe hun
bred and twenty years earlier. re-
vealed the real France to an astound-
ed universe, and, like VaImy, failed to
reap the full fruits of victory. There
was also the moral battle of the
Marine, which was engaged, stimuli
taneously, against the enemy within
years to crush him, for he was pow
erfully entrenched, and had as many
heads as the hydra.
John Bunyan would have called
these evil forces: political corruption,
collision, compromise, national ego
tism, inertia, avariee, self indulgence.
Doubtless they are by no means pc
culiar to France, but what it is not
easy to realize is the extent to which
these forces had 1eagued together
the enormous strength of this Internal
pact. But those who do realize, who
have seen thru long years before the
war the spread of the poison, do not
throw up their hands in horror and
alarm every time a new Bolo is
brought to book and cry out against
the rottenness of the state.
The Niisinterpreters.
History will note, with little pleas
ure I think, that the epic years of
l914-18 were also the heyday for ir-
responsible chroniclers. From these
France has had to suffer, perhaps
more than any of her allies. And this
because she, less thar. other modern
nations, can be judged by average
standards. Not only her enemies, her
admiring friends have also been often
indiscriminating, not to say obtuse,

purchases on the day preceding the
three meatless days.
As for municipal butcher shops we
had heard about them for long time
Theoretically they were approved,
but practically held to be unrelia-
able. They are now an established
fact and working famously- So much
SO, that rival concerns are asking to be
"municipalized."
In fact, the stomach of France,
which had always been declared to be
the delicate spot in her body polite
needed special humoring. has proved
surprisingly robust and tractable.
Reward in Sight.
And already the reward is in sight!
! The admirable Boret has announced
that the end of food restrictions is in
view and that no new ones are con-
templated- The price of meat shall
decrease, and meatless days shall have
their end ere long, for there is no
longer any danger of the national i've
STOCK being exhausted. The German
FOOD dictator having announced a fur
ther cutting down of bread rations,
our national henchman declares that
ours soon shall be increased.
But the gladdest tidings ok all in
this respect, is the official announce
ment that France is looking forward
to the best harvest she has known in
twenty years. This news is not based
merely on the reports of agricultural
Doards. IL is the result of firSt-h, I'D
knowledge. For, like his chief, our
ood-controller visits his front-line
trenches, in this case the grain coun-
tries of France.
In every limb, in every muscle,
France has found herself.
Finding America.
And with the finding of her ,wn
true self, comes another discovery
that of her latest ally. Wonderful
tales about the efficiency of American
effort, American organization, Ameri-
can determination had been herald
ed across the Atlantic for many
months. Nor were they entirely dis
credited. But they had to travel so
many miles-and France was in the
third year of warI Could 1t all be
true? Was not this Land of Unlimit-
ed Possibilities" some "Never-Never-
Land?"
For all answer America rose up
bodily and stepped across the At
lantic.
For twelve months France. mar
yelling, watched America do yeoman
service. Again the promise seemed to
be too good to be realized. Then came
the Marine where golden spurs are
won, and all doubts end.

No candidate for a state office is re-
ceiving more favorable mention than
Walter A. Layton of Osborne county,
whose nomination for Lieutenant Gov
ernor is being conceded by many Re
publicans thruout the state, and no
man in Kansas is better equipped for
that office.
Mr.. Layton is a young KanSan who
started out in life with no assets other
than two willing hands. and an abund-
ant supply of integrity and determina-
ton. Today he has some of the best
equipped and best regulated farms in
Kansas and stands among the fore
most men of affairs in the state.
He is modest, unassuming, true to
his friends. During the legislatures of
1915 and 1917 he represented the saith
legislative district and in recognition of
his splendid capabilities and popularity
vas chosen speaker pro tenn of the
house of 1917. In his rulings he was
always firm, fair and in keeping with
parliamentary law.
Layton in speaking of his opponent
Chas. Huffman says: He is a very
fine man; but in these serious days
Of war feels that he is a much more
valuable man as Adjutant General,
his present position than he would be
as Lieutenant Governor.
