claim the birth of democracy and
destroyed many vestiges of royalty.
Touraine helps supply the bread and
the wine of France. My walks took
me past endless fields of golden
wheat. On all the terraced hillsides
were growing the white grapes from
which is made vouvray-the golden
wine of Touraine.
It is a rich country despite the
fact that it has been cultivated for
more than 1000 years. Endless ma
nuring and ceaseless labor have kept
the fields fertile And sHey are such
tiny fields compared TO our American
holdings. A farm has 5, 10. Is or 20
acres, but every inch of it is made
to produce something. And the mel
ancholy fact is the people one sees
at work on these little farms are
mostly the old and middle-aged. The
young men went away to the war
and never came back: were so mutt
lated they can't work on a farm, or
else they got the fever of restless
ness in their blood and went to the
cities.

They are sick of war. They are
aghast at the very idea of another

was A when the war broke out. He
went away as a soldier, while his
wife. a school mistress in the same /
village. undertook his classes as well /
as her own. He told me the middle /
aged schoolmasters of France were !
radical almost to a man. The younger [
men. as the result of revulsion !
against war. were mostly Socialists.
However, he said they outgrew that
as they grew older. He predicted a
