in passing out. We fumed over their un-
shakabe adherence to delaying technique in
the face of urgency; they gasped at our
shogt 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
power. They can be used at full strength
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
to technique.

universal, sympathy with Belgium would
promptly applaud the selection. There
would be certain fitness in locating the
political clearing house of the world in the
Palais de Justice, mute witness of such SOW
crcign Injustice such contempt for the
sanctity Of treaties. Serious objections,
however, are to be found to the location, in
its excessive proximity to Great Britain
France ard Germany, as compared with the
distance from most other countries. 1t
would be an admirable site for the visible
abode Of Western European coalition, but
very far from central for vastly larger
society Of nations scattered broadcast over
tine globe.
The Hague is open to precisely the same
objections geographical, and in spite Of
name honored in the brief annals Of nter-
national peace efforts and a sumptuous
sanctuary Of the goddess, has lost in the cs-
tmaton of the world at large perhaps un-
justly. Certainly, Holland, while harboring
fugitives from the worlds justice would
be unable to press even reasonable claims

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 ovcrwrought 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 illiberal an
noyances of deep-seated usage; he is en-
meshed by one of the municipal bureaus;
perhaps he falls victim to that courteous
but most amazingly dilatory and exasperat-
ing multitude of public servants" in all
this work -a-day world. the little officials of

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 op-
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
spirits will be sure to interpret the selcc-
tion of Rome notable and unwclcome
