Despite the fact that the French
language is regaining some of It's lost
prestige as the favorite of diplomats and
court followers. the French Academy Is
considering revisions In the official
French dictionaries which will cause
lingual purists to protest wildly.
The French dictionary has been re-
markably free from any reference to
argot or slang. IL is not hard, there
fore. to imagine what the Frenchman Of
the old school will say when he finds
explicit information on such phrases as
"casser la gueule." Of which the equiva-
lent In American slang would probably
be hand some one poke In the Jaw"
or manager la grenouille." which means
In common parlance ito eat frogs" |. e.
ito be badly bankrupt"
The only compensation for these radi-
cal departures is in the academy's de-
cision at its last session to include the
word gentleman" in the dictionary as a
word adopted by the French language
from the English as typifying all that il
meritorious in a mans relations with his
fellows"

One authority says:
Secrecy does not exist merely be-
cause as yet there is no particular lady
in mind. When the name Of the flu
ture Queen of England does transpire,
popular sentiment will thoroughly ap-
prove and loudly applaud the choice.
1t will reveal the Prince as quite a
romantic and discriminating Prince
Charming, to employ the pseudonym
popularity applied to the Prince nova
days, and cordially disliked by the hero
thereof. The choice will, moreover. af-
ford another proof of the progressive
ideas now pervading the most exalted

Having failed to establish soviet re-
public for all of France. Paris Commu-
rists have decided 10 have their own
re volutionary colony and have selected
tic prosperous suburb Of Courbevoie as
their stronghold.
A charter has been granted to a de-
velopment corporation for the subdi-
viding of a large area on the outskirts
o. the suburb. Shares are to be sold
at 25 francs each (less than 81 at the
present rate of exchange) and it is I'M
derstood that there has been an over
wbelming rush Of the faithful for com
rnunal rights in the new paradise.
There is little doubt that the venture,
a. a real estate speculation. will return
profit to the investors. and this natu-
rally attracted a few real capitalists
with thousands OF francs to invest but
no love for sovietlsm. Their applica-
tons we're rejected, however, for hidden
in the charters legal phraseology Is a
clause providing that no one may par
ticipate In the new colony who Is not a
member Of an association of proved
communist Intentions.

The progress seen in the sci

of the first success of the Wright
brothers looks like only a warming UP
process in view of the air navigation

in connection with the Guildhall Air
Conference here, which Winston S.
Churchill, Secretary of State for War
and Air, called the Air Parliament.
Here are few of the aerial develop
rnants under experiment or in pros

rooms to which pilots would signal
orders as aboard ships, steam turbines
for airplanes. automatic control,
engines or propellers in wings, all
metal airplanes. airplanes equipped to
land on small space, enabling the
tactical movement of troops in war

Howden plant; tn e-rehanical dis
posal of fog, thus ss<1g the way
for flying, and, finally. a pilotless air
plane controlled by wireless.
Revelations Are Amazing.
Air vice-Marshal Z. L. Ellington, d.
rector general Of supply and research
OF the Air Ministry. drew aside the veil
hiding British Government efforts in
air navigation. His recital WHICH fol-
lowed amazed even the most optimistic
students of aviation possibilities. He
told OF airplanes which were being de-
signed with two engines In the fuse
lage, driving two propellers in the
wings, with control of the engine in the
hands of an engineman who receives
his signals from a pilot.
Also he told of a flying machine now
under construction with wings so de-
signed that they would contain engines
within them. 1t was even limited that

Gators consisting OF an arm under the

which moves the controls. causing the

Never in the memory OF man Tor
years has three been such IA reception to
returning royalty as was accorded to
the Prince of Wales when he reached the
imperial capital this week after his jour
ney through Australasia. Not only was
the homecoming a magnificent spectacle.
but It was most significant of the popu-
larity OF the heir apparent In these days
when royalty is supposedly unfashion-
able, II not positively wicked.
From the moment the destroyers
sighted the battle cruiser Renown off
Eddystone until dark fell with the young
Prince dining quietly in the midst OF the
royal family circle at Buckingham Pal
ace, wireless, wires. rails, the air. human
legs. eyes and throats paid tribute to
the heir to the throne.
Perhaps the explanation of the re-
markable testimonial of loyalty is that
all the abuse and complaint rising from
the dissatisfaction of the British people
is being aimed at little man with long
gray hair. who greeted the Prince among
many other notables on the platform at
Victoria station at noon. Many news
papers to-day are bitterly attacking Mr..
Lloyd George. Every one made the most
special display of Its welcome TO the
Prince of Wales.

SYNOPSIS.


CHAPTER I.--Writng long after the
events described, Jack Calder, Scottish
farmer, tells how, In his childhood, the
fear OF invasion by Napoleon. at that
time complete master OF Europe. had
gripped the British na atlOn. Following
false alarm that the French had landed
Jim Horscroft, the doctors son, youth of
fifteen, quarrels with his father over
Joining the army. and from that incident
lifelong friendship begins between the
boys.
CHAPTER II-When Jack is eighteen
his fathers brother dies and his daugh-
ter. Edlc, seventeen years old, comes to
live with her uncle. Attractive personally,
intensely romantic, and seemingly feeling
little sorrow for her fathers DEATH the
girl Is something of a puzzle to the
simple folk of the Calder home.
CHAPTER 1lI.--Edic makes n play.
thing Of Jacks affections, and though al.
ways somewhat In awe of her, a feeling
of deep love for his cousin develops In
the boys heart. Edic rcprolChcs him for
staying at home In idlcnrss while his
country is at war. Stung by her words
he declares his intention of Joining the
army at once, but she persuades him TO
stay. He tells her he loves her and she
apparently returns his affection.
CHAPTER IV.-Jim Horscruft returns
from Edinburgh, where he ia studying
medicine. Jack tells his chum OF his en-.
gagement to Ede. believing the girl Is
sincere. Some days later he witnesses an
unmistakaOle display of affection between
H.. Il. l..
Jim tells him Edle has promised to marry
him, she laughing at the idea of her en-.
gagemont to Jack, The two seek the girl
and she declares only fondness for Jack
but love for Jim.
CHAPTER V. .- Jack. though deeply
hurt, accepts the situation. News OF the
downfall of Napoleon and the end OF the
war reach the country. Walking along
the coast, Jim and Calder witness the
Ian ding OF n stranger from a small boat
He is completely exhausted and In a dy.
Ing condition. They revive him and
against Jim's advice Jack takes him 70
the Calder home, where he remains as o
guest. He gives his name as Bonaven-
ture do Lapp and Is evidently man OF
distinction.
CHAPTER VI.-nc bapp's fine manners
and stories Of adventure greatly attract
Mrs. Calder ana Edc and NE is "at
home" at once, causing vague dsquetude
TO Jack and open disgust to Jim. He
sends 2 letter addressed to the king OF
Sweden, and Jack naturally wonders
what manner Of man he has introduced
TO his home.
CHAPTER VIt,-NTajor Elliott, neigh.
Dor and close friend OF the Caldcrs and
Jim Horscroft. recognizes De Lapp as a
French officer he has met In Spain, and
the two seem TO reach some sort OF un.
derstanding. Horscroft goes back TO Ed.
inburgh TO resume his studies. He is tc
marry Edie as soon as he has his d.
ploma.
Sometimes, when he talked, I
thought he was Joking, and at other
times 1t was not quite so easy to say.
] well remember one evening that
summer when he was sitting In the
kitchen with my father, Jim, and me,
after the women had gone to he'd, he
began about Scotland and Its relation
TO England.
