which like ansogre transformed be-
came at last world of variety-the
eternal change in sky and sea; the
infinite variations of the tune of the
little waves upon the sand which at
first had been one sound of unceas-

the living things which the tropic sea

the hands Of every tide; the changing
forms of the spits of white coral sand
with which the wind and water
played like tireless children in the
sun and under the great round moon:

deep purple Of the Gulf colored like
the bloom on Concord grapes: the
whispers of coming norther: the
hawklike fury of the autumn evil

The banking question also is being

Mr.. Ewald emphasized the necessity of

sity of statesmen knowing the language
of that country also was urged.
The third aspect considered was the
cultural relations that are growing up

South America and France, and today the
