There is little confusion for the teachers know what to do. Over head IS heard the tremendous crash of shattered glass and concrete, for a shell has fallen upon the building. Only the little ones sob and they are quickly comforted. Soon all is quiet and w6rk progresses as usual. They even calmly eat their lunch of dry bread which the soldiers give them. Later when the danger Is over, anxi- ous parents come for their children. All are safe. Never has a single teacher or child been wounded.

  l quote here a letter written by Odette Gastinel pupil in the Lycee Victor Duruy in Paris.
 "Ce n'etait qu'une petite riviere, | presque un ruisseau; on Pappelait l l'Yser; on SC parlait dun bord a r. | autre sans clever la voiX. ct les ols- eaux la franchissaient dun battement | d'aile Et sur les deuX rives, il y await des millions d'hommes, tournes les uns vers les autres, les yeux dans les yeux Mas la distance qui les saparait etait plus grand que la dis tance des etoiles dans le ciel; c'etait celle qui separe le droit de Pinjustice. "L'ocean est si waste, que les mou- cites 'osent pas le traverser Pen dant sept jours ct sept nuits les grands paquebots d'Amerique, lances a toute vapeur, dechirent Peau pro fonde avant d'apercevoir les phares de France dun bord Pautre, les occurs SC touchent.
 Tt was only little river, almost a brook; it was called the Yser. One could talk from one side to the other without raising ones voice, and the birds could fly over it with one sweep of their wings. And on the two banks there were millions of men, the one turned toward the other, eye to eye. But the distance which separat- ed them was greater than the stars in the sky; it was the distance which separates right from injustice.
 "The ocean is so vast that the sea gulls do not dare to cross 1t. During seven daps and seven nights the great steamships of America. going at full speed, drive through the deep waters before the lighthouses of France come into view; but from one side to the other hearts are touching"

OUR DEBT TO FRANCE (Eleanor Carpenter)

=HGive us name to fill the mind
 With the shining thoughts that lead
 mankind,
 The glory of learning, the joy of
 art
 A rame that tells of splendid part In the long, long toll and the strenu-
 ous fight
 Of the human race to win its way From the feudal darkness into the
 day
 Of Freedom. Brotherhood, Equal

 l give you France"
 "The name of France is indissolu- ply linked with the early history of this country. The first religion, the first education the first attempts at government, and the first settlement of that vast middle region which stretches from the Great Lakes to the Cuff were French.
 But although we owed France a great debt previous to the American Revolution, 1t was during the Revolu- ticn that there was created debt of gratitude to France, which Americans will remember always, but never can repay
 Ii was in June. TIT, that Lafay- cite. the Knight of Liberty" the Hero of Two Worlds" came to America; the first man from France to give his sword and his fortune to our cause, flinging all of his birth rights to the winds, title. riches, social -aste, and then accompanying from the world the homage of mankind. He came to this country. volunteer and desiring no pay, in the darkest period of eur history He was of inestimable galue at Brandywine, Valley Forge, and at the Battle of Monmouth. When he found our American soldiers ragged and freezing in the trenches, out of his own personal means he bought them warm clothing and shoes, to protect them and to save their lives
 But the French alliance of TITS as sured our triumph, and Lafayette helped to secure this alliance, which has been termed the romance of his tory. It is idle now to speculate whether our fathers could have sue ceeded without the French alliance. The struggle would undoubtedly have been indefinitely prolonged, and prob ably compromised.
 It was then, in February, IT'S, at the command of the French Admiral, La Motte Piequet, that a salute was given from the great French flag ship, to the Stars and Stripes on the Ranger, commanded by John Paul Jones This was the first official rec ognition of the Stars and Stripes, by the authorized military representa- tiYes of any civilized nation.
 During the American Revolution, we accepted from France a loan which we have never repaid. we who owe our very existence as nation to French soldiers, French ships, and French money It cost France at least $50, 100000 for the military forces she sent to America, to help 1he struggling republic win its inde- pendence from Great Britain. For this great outlay. a tremendous sum of money in those days, the French King, Louis XVI, received no substan- tial repayment, and France has never asked the United States to repay it..

ercise on the large promenade decks,
freedom from seasickness and the
opportunity somewhat of studying
naval strategy, made the trip one of
special pleasure. 1t was my fourth
trip across the Atlantic, but my first
under such exciting circumstances.
"The thrills of the voyage began
the first day after we left New York,
for we sailed the day after the Ger

Effect of War on Village Life.
after reaching England | was
granted a brief leave for the op-

who is IS years of age. The visit
gave me a chance to see the effect
of war on English village life. 1t
will suggest a great deal to you
when | state that out of over 200
men of from Is to % years of age,
there were only so who were not in
some way directly in war work, in
the navy or i'll some other important
military service. Fifteen of them
have lost their lives in the service,
two OF whom are my nepheWs. The
other nephews have each lost
right leg. One of them, whom |
visited in London, has been in the
hospital for eighteen months and
has undergone operations galore,
but is still cheerful and optimistic,
looking forward to his favorite game
of cricket, which he will resume
when the war is over.
my destination was France, and
in midsummer | landed on French
soil. | have been here now over
two months and have certainly got
into the game. At once, | realized
the bigness of the task, yet the i'm
mensity of it grows on one con-
stantly. Ny task, of course, is not
the task of the soldier, yet our work
is so inter-related with the task of
tile army that we feel we are
part of it. We are under military
control; we are here to serve the
military men; we are pleased to- do
the bidding OF our officers and COM
manders, and we all feel that no
honor could be given to us greater
than to 60 to the very front line
