Mercury indicates readjustments that

What 10 the attitude of the French

French are very polite people, and,
no matter what their inmost thoughts
may be. they are not likely to express
an opinion to an American other than
complimentary. But the children of
all the world are guileless. They can
be depended upon to express In public
the private opinions Of their parents.
The children of France are crazy about
Americans In uniform, so we guess
what their parents feel for US.

SAVIOURS
BY ANGELA MORGAN

Yours Is the daring skill to tread
The waters Of world at war;
Yours Is the miracle to shed
Where rocking seas of hatred are,
Courage and comfort like star.
You cry unto an earth dismayed,
And God is thrilling in your tone:
Brothers, the ship is not alone;
Be not afraid!
Ye are the Christs of this black hour,
The Great Physician come again,
Within your sacred hands the power
To heal the race of men.
Ye hold the hurt world to your breast;
Ye bind her bruised and broken soul;
The sick, the manned and the oppressed
Yours is the gift to make them whole.
And where the stricken miles unroll
Ye sound the resurrection morn;
Above the bier where Justice lies,
With visions of an age new born,
Ye bid the dead arise!
o World, that walkest now In tears
Where Truth again is cruciied
After the thousand, thousand years
See yet that Christ is not deniedl
