THREE NOTED FRENCH TOWNS

Three towns in northern Francs
have given their names to articles Of
everyday commerce-Cambra from
which "cambric" is derived; Arras. q

tapestry. and valenciennes, noted for
its lace In olden times. Cambrai, too.

great French ecclesiastic and moralist.
Francois Fenelon. statue Of whom
stood in the cathedral before the Ger
mans captured the town. Fenelon
wrote one Of the most famous novels
Of the eighteenth century: e1e'The Ad-
ventures Of Telemachus." an account
Of the son Of Ulysses. At Cambrai was
concluded very curious treaty, the
so-called Ladies' Peace" between
Louise Of Savoy and Margaret Of Aus
tria. representing France and Austria,
respectively, in 1890. At Arras was
born the celebrated leader Of the
French Revolution, Macmillan Robes
pierre. who organized the Reign Of
Terror by which he himself was finally
to fall. Valenciennes no longer made
the beautiful lace which its name sug.
gests. but was center for the manu-.
facture Of hosiery. trimmings, and
handkerchiefs. It was the birthplace
Of two famous men-Watteau, whose
paintings are regarded as perhaps the
most characteristic products Of French
art in the eighteenth century. and
FrOlssart, whose chronicles Of the
wars Of the Middle Ages are full Of
movement and color. Near by is an
other famous town-Douai-whose
name Is Joined with version In Eng
lish Of the Bible prepared for the
special use Of the Catholic church.

President Wilson has been appealed

An American girl, recently arrived
from Germany, says many children and
even grown-ups are now going bare
footed. They are unable to buy shoes.
A proud professor OF the University OF
Leipzig asked as favor to be allowed
to buy the discarded shoes Of the girls

pedestrians Of their clothes The chill
dren Of one Of the girls friend were
robbed Of their shoes while on their
way home from school, The weather
was bitterly cold and the children ar
rived with their feet almost frozen and
bleeding.
The girl says the newspapers are most
active in sneering at America. Every
effort is made to diminish before the
masses the United States participation.
They are constantly repeating that the
American effort is all blum and noise
worthy OF the country which produced

The girl had the utmost difficulty IN

Americans were refused permission to
leave the country.
After a time she was told she could

She Indignantly refused to become a
