in the Outlook.
From the first gun in 1914 TO the
present moment France has been ''e
object Of attack by the central powers
Anti. French intrigue is as active To-Day
as ever Each move, each hope OF inc
central powers hangs on Gripping
France France bears the brunt OF
guaranteeing European order, ana IS
recompenSed by world OF suspicion
or hatred. She does not deserve crltlr
cism from her former associates; she
does need their advice and their hrm
support in her plan TO settle the war.
What would happen if France were
to economic by disbanding the bulk OF
her army? Germany would change llel
tone Immediately. Not one mark more
would she pay and her own army
would rapidly take form. In one year
she would again be the principal MILL
tary power of Europe, with greater re-
sources than any two other nations
There would then be no doubt as II
who won the war.

read: "Every one who reads her work

protectlno National Forests.

Lightning often strikes more than
once-even frequently-in the same

United States Agricultural department
are considering the possibility OF map

Ing fire lines, regulating grazing, anu

TINT the mapping would show these

Of topography and more or less local

Importance Of the matter Is Shown
by the fact that lightning causes ~

ration from Oklahoma went to pay It's
respects to President Harding the
Philadelphia Ledger states
When it entered the chief execu-
nve's Office the men came first anu
Miss Alice Robertson, the congress
woman, brought up the rear.
"This is q fine how-do-you-do," SAID
Mr.. Harding. "What's the idea OF all
you men preceding your distinguished
woman associate?''
But Miss Robertson came to the
rescue with her explanation. The
men went first in submission to her
will, she said. 1t was custom Pc
culiar to Oklahoma, holdover from
the old Indian days. When Indian
men and women entered any building
the men went first and the women
followed. It was not that the men
were given precedence. Quite the
contrary. The Indian woman fur

In the Middle ages a bell was rung
IS a signal for fires to be covered up

Is derived from the French words,

sounded to warn young people to be
