where speed and unhampered procedure
rule. In the railway station yard at Cha
teau Thierry stood two posts of the long
disused gateway through dishevelled wire
fence barring the road to the freight plat
form from which the Americans wished to
load our wounded direct into the hospital
trains. The opening of the gateless gate
way being found to be about one foot too
narrow to admit passage of an ambulance,
the captain of the company sought permis-
sion of the station chief to set one post out
the required distance
He was told the desired permission must
be obtained from the local French com
mandant The local commandant said the
request would be taken under advisement.
Four days passed with fate Of the INDECENT
post-and OF the comfort and quicker han
ding Of the wounded still in allegiance.
On the morning of the fifth day the officer
in charge of the American evacuation hos
pita detailed two men with shovcls and
IN fifteen minutes that post Of international
palaver was reset and sthe ambulances driv-

in passing out. We fumed over their I'M
shakabe adherence to delaying technique in
the face of urgency; they gasped at our
short cuts to achievement regardless of
cost
One incident is too illustrative to be
omitted. Twas at a French field hospital
west of scissors, swamped under the num-
Der of wounded arriving from the line, that
team of American surgeons, sent TO help
out, sought TO put into immediate service
another A-ray not in commission. Now
ordinarily, to conserve their life, some
twelve or more hours are given the electric
lamps III which gradually to attain entire

in a comparatively brief time though this
curtails their period of usefulness
With the receiving tent filled to overflow
ing and wounded increasingly arriving, the
Americans wished to get the X-ray work
ing at once without the usual warming up
process, and though finally their suggestion
prevailed it was not until after long and
serious protest from the French surgeons
that customs should thus be violated and
the service OF the lamps materially short
ened by this hurry-up expediency.
ooh, hell" said the chief of the Ameri-
can team to the liaison officer, tell them
when these lamps burn out we'll put in new
ones
But it was harsh blow to French loyalty

however, are to be found to the location, in

And We
Discover France

And we of America-how little we knew
France who knew it largely through the
frvoities Of Paris, with its resorts run for
tourist consumption, where the French are
rarely seen except in pursuit of trade or as
host to foreigners; how little our soldier
boy with his ideas of Cay Paree," gathered
from the overweight tales of cheap copy
makers" knew the French; how little he
knew of French stability, of the French
family lfe-coser and sweeter, | think,
than that to be found elsewhere
And as our soldier boy interpreted America
to the poilu and his home folk, so the poilu
corrected the boys preconceived notions of
the French, and through him in turn ac-
quainted the home folk of the New World
democracy with the home folk of the Old
World republic.
Speaking of the war perod-there are
three phases through which the American
passes in the process of adjusting himself
to France and the French: the Romantic
the Disillusonmcnt and the Appreciative.
With heart in thraldom of alteration
for the splendor of poilu valor and over
flowing sympathy for the people IN their
terrible and patient bereavement, he is. on
hrsc arrival as the pilgrim before the
shrine of long seeking. There are no mid
die notes in his paan; no discrimination
in his bestowal of worship; no ordinary
mortals in this his new found Elysium.
Every Frenchman is hero, and every hero
an impcccable god.
He shops and is shocked by extorton;
he travels-and encounters the Liberal an

ing multitude of public servants" in all

ed from consideration as the capital Of
one Of the great powers? True, in some
sense, of course; but the relative position
of Italy in the league will hardly be COM
parable to that of France, and the historic
rule Of Rome would reconcile most oppo-
nents of this choice who based their oppo
sition on the prominence of Italy in the
councils of the league. Difficulties arising
from this last consideration are probably
quite imaginary, one cannot easily CON
ceive Of such emerging in the case of
Rome when they would be avoided in the
capital of smalle country-Lisbon, for
example. or Athens neither of which would
be mentioned possibilities in this con-
nection.
Another obvious question in regard to
Rome concerns the presence of the Papal
court and its ancient claims whether these
facts make it mpolitic to locate the officers
of the league in a capital already divided
between two rival courts, the Vatican and
the Quirinal. Naturally, if it were proposed
to take Rome for the exclusive purposes of
the league and to remove both the royal
and pontifcal governments, strenuous OPP
position would at once be aroused in both
quarters No one would seriously propose
such measure, or to annex the Campagna
for insulation. 1t is safe to say that the new
super-go government having weghtier matters
to claim its constant attention, will have
wish to burden itself with the parish
cares of municipality, nor any desire for
a pratoran camp, nor the wish to dis
possess the occupants either of the Ouirinal
the Vatican. No friction with the Italian
government is to be apprehended Rather
would the ministry agree with ali patriotic
Italians in feeling that Italy's ancient
primacy and her great part in the greatest
war in bringing freedom to peoples long
subject TO foreign rule had both received
a signal recognition, not to mention the
graceful compensation in case the peace
conference finds itself obliged to disap-
point some of Itay's territorial aspira-
tions.
From the Vatican some show of umbrage
will be expected at first. For the narrower
