rendezvous for students, historians
of the world war and visitors.
War documents of all the coun-
tries are being classified. The cat
alogue already cons is of eight
large volumes with more to come.
In addition to he documents and
copies of the speeches which
stirred the people during the four
years of war, the collection VIII
comprise books. pictures, toys pot
terry, jewelry. postcards and even
stamps and emergency money Is
sued during and after the war.
Each exhibit will have attached to|
it enough information concerning
it's use and creation so as to make
them of interest to the visitor and
of value to the historian.
There will be exhibits OF the
things that helped keep patriotism
at a high pitch and of those de-
signed to keep those within the
enemys lines well aware OF the
punishment they faced If they fail-
ed to obey their temporary mas
ters.
Copies OF American Liberty and
Victory bond posters with stirring
slogans will tell of Americas ef-
forts, while many books. pictures
and other exhibits will form a rec
ord of the part the United States
took in war.
Ambassador Herrick's poster
giving warning that the property
of Americans was under the pro-
lection Of the government, pla-
carded in Paris in the first days or
the war, has a prominent place IN
the museum.
German military proclamations
and some German periodical lllus-
trations tell of the hardships ana
heartaches on the other side of the
Rhine.
So pleased is the French govern
ment with the work of the tuper-
culosis commission of the Rookie
Teller foundation that it has in
cluded an appropriation Of S,o90.-
600 francs in this years budget for
continuation of the efforts The
commission which has been work.
ling in France since 1917. has spent
about 25,000.000 francs installing
1.-The most modern forms of treat
ment of tuberculosis.
Twenty-four free dispensaries,
twelve of them in the devastated
regions, have already been turned
over to the French government By
the foundation. DR.. l.. r. Williams,
who has been in charge of the
work for three years. is returning
to America to take up post with
the national health board. He will
be succeeded by DIR. Selskar NJ.
Gum, who is to be transferred by
the foundation from Prague.
Minister of Finance Lastyrie has
offered jobs in The collection serv-
/ ice to several prominent econo-
mists who recently made state
ments that many persons had fall
ed to place their incomes in their
tax reports at the proper figure.
The economists think they have
discovered in France more than
5000 persons whose incomes for
the past year exceeded 100000
francs. In the income tax returns
only 626 persons admitted incomes
of this importance.
The fortune of France. estimated
at 100000, 100000 francs before
the war, has grown to 100000, ,000,-I
600, according to the economists,
with fifty citizens worth more than
500, 100000 francs each, a thousand
whose worth is placed at 50,00O,-I
900 francs and 1000 who possess
more than 100000 francs.
The eyes of all French automo-
bilists now are turned toward
Strasbourg, although there is still
month before the running of the
French automobile clubs Grand
PriX. No accommodations are left
unreserved in Strasbourg and the
adjacent towns and villages all
seats in the grandstand were sold
long ago and garage and parking
space will be hard to find.
Special treatment, like that ap-
piled to championship tennis
courts, is being given to the road
upon which the classic is to be run.
Special bridges have been built
over the railroads to save the
hordes of automobiles from having
to wait at grade crossings.
More interest. is being shown by
the enthusiasts over the touring
prize than in the speed race. In
the touring car test the competi-
tors will be allowed seventeen
litres of gasoline oil. irrespective OF
power and weight, the winner be-
ing the machine which runs the
farthest and fastest before coming
to standstill.
Ambassador Herrick will take
his yearly holiday in the United

Gabrielle D'Annunzio, the Italian
soldier-poet, sent a message TO
French friends lately by messen-
ger whose poetic idealism occupied
his mind to the exclusion of such
trite things as soap and water.
The messenger called on Maurice
