They don't love us In France,
as they did. The Paris Temps
asks; "Was the discovery of
America really worth while to
the human race?" And pub

decided against us. The Temps

America was harmful to the

The able English historian
Green didn't 60 as far as that,
Dut did give US his plan to write

their shortcomings all this Is
depressing. But, as regards
France and America, this
Thought might be offered to
the Paris Temps:
The discovery of America
made 1t possible for France to
borrow five thousand millions of
dollars from the United States.
The good nature of America has
made It 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 in.
stead Of being transferred to
German government.
However, such discussions are
foolish. The French are a great
people and we are glad to have
helped them, although it was
expensive.
Every French family is in
mourning for a son, brother, or
father. France in no way pro-
voked the war, brutal and de-
structive; She showed marvellous
courage, all her ancient genius
and patriotism, in defending
herself.
Whether this country was
worth discovering or not, we are
glad to have helped France to
remain FRENCH.
The Temps remarks in it's
learned discourse that we have
TAUGHT France only how to make
cocktails, The old reply TO that
would be that she taught us
only how to fry snails and

Sir William Bragg says sci

secret of the atom. It makes

that power you would develop
energy equal to that developed
by a million horsepower engine
running without stopping for
forty million years. Hard to
believe but FACT.
Once the atom was supposed
20 be the smallest possible par
ticle Of matter, its very name
means in Greek "uncuttable,"
too small to be divided.
Now we know that each atom
Is made up Of a number Of
electrons varying in different
elements.
There is in each atom a CEN
