 The able English historian Green, didn't go as far as that, did give his plan to write a his tory of the United States. His reason was "the people of this country obtained their freedom before they were, fit for it."
 To Americans that realize their shortcomings all this is depres- sing. But, as regards France and America, this thought might be offered to the Paris Temps.
 The discovery of America made it possible for France to borrow five thousand millions of dollars from the United States. The good nature of America has made 1t possible for France to refrain from paying interest or principal on that sum up to now Also the cooperation of the United States. in men, money and supplies, made it possible for France to remain under French government instead of being transferred to German govern ment.
 However, such discussions are foolish The French are a great people. and we are glad to have helped them, although it was ex- pensive.
 Every French family is in mourning for a son, brother or father. France in no way pro- voked the war, brutal and de- structtve. She showed marvellous courage, all her ancient genius and patriotism In defending her. self

 Sir William Bragg says science has almost solved the secret of the atom. It makes you dizzy to read it.
 If you could release half the power that holds together the molecules, atoms and electrons in a five-cent piece and harness up that power you would develop energy equal to that developed by a million horsepower engine running without stopping for forty million years. Hard to be- neve but FACT.

 Once the atom was supposed to be the smallest possible particle of matter, its very name means in Greek "uncuttab1e." too small to be divided.
 Now we know that each atom is made up of number of cleo irons varying in different ele- ments.
 There is in each atom a central electron, the others ctrcling around 1t as the planets circle around our sun. And compared with the atom Tn which they whirl, those electrons are about as big as so many dust notes floating in the air in a large con-
