led by an American soldier who has
not had the usual rush of work
since the armistice was signed and
has used the opportunity to i'm
prove his knowledge of French and
THE French people. He finds that
the ideals of liberty, equality, and
| fraternity are also realities in the
daily life of rich and poor. The
fcase is thus presented by Private
Thomas ID. Wallace, Supply Com
Ipany No. 300, @. M. c., in letter
to his parents at Williamsburg,
iowa:

make a visitor feel perfectly at

which makes for democracy, and
which conquers the world.
| Both in the observation and
study of French institutions and
ideals, one becomes more and more
imprest with the fact that they
stand not for the domination of
ANY particular race, or the con-
quest of any special territory, but
rather for ideals of inborn and
potential equility, personal liber-
Ity, intellectual freedom, and ex-
pansion, developed according to
nature and guided by nationality.
With regard to racial stock,
France is nearly as cosmopolitan
as the United States. 1t contains

The German commander, one Geii-

sent fiery communication to. the
Mayor Of New York demanding
