A judge Is disinterested in the con-

not concern himself about the roper

and then effaces himself. The nations

and naval prestige will exert pressure
on the rebelling nation and sooner or

Hence 1t Is just that this formidable

penalties should not be started except
by a court In which the majority be-
longs by fundamental right to the
great powers
1t Is possible, for example, to de-
eide that the court will be instituted

LUNENBURG LETTER

most famous murder committed there
was that of Duke of Guise of which
history tells.
The walls of the dozen upon dozens
rooms that the Chateau contains are
painted in replica Of the tapestries
and coverings of cordovan leather
that originally covered them, but
which were destroyed during the re-
volution. But the thought of room
after room covered with those rich
hangings impressed me. The most
startling thing, however, was the
Throne Room or Assembly Hall as
it is called, believe. Here the states
of France were twice assembled IN
the 18th century. The acoustics of
the place are wonderful. The guide
raised his voice but slightly above
the normal and said "o-o-h-o-o." The
sound echoed and re-echoed for fully
30 or 40 seconds. l believe that any
one could hear az pin dropped in any
part of the room if it were still.
And this is the oldest part of the
Chateau, built 200 years before Col
umbus discovered America.
Of course the Chateau is the most
interesting feature of the city, yet
there are a few other points worthy
of seeing, notably a grand old gothic
church in the form in plan, of a Latin
cross, begun in the 9th century, and
the house in which Victor Hugo
spent with his father the last years
of the life of the latter. The place
is very billy, and perhaps one of the
prettiest sights is to stand at the top
of long flight of steps leading from
the lower to the upper part OF the
city and look ahead where the Loire
river bridge is, and as far as one can
see there stretches in line straight
as a die a board National high way.
l have kept map posted with my
journeyings, such as they are, about
France. We went quite close to
Rheims when we first came to France
and l can remember that trip. That
1 was as close as I got to the real scene

comparatively quiet in that section
