PARIS, August ,

A GREAT battle is raging in
"a France over the question of
language. Is France going
~ TO continue to study Latin
and Greek, that is: dead languages, or
IS she going to consecratc all her
energy to English and Spanish. that is:
living languages?
The Chamber of Deputies debated
upon this question during one
month, and has not come to any
definite solution. On the one hand,
there were the defenders of classical
education; they we're OF the opinion
that TO study Latin was to learn French,
and in any case it meant thorough ac-
quaintance with classical culture. On
the other hand, there were the realists.
the industrials, the business men;
they affirmed that to learn English was
20 become better acquainted With the
world and TO be more adeauatelv
equipped for daily life, Although the
discussion has not been crowned with
success and will have to be taken
up again, 1t would seem as il the
majority Snclined rather toward the
realists and for English. The instrac-
tion in the lyceums and colleges OF
france will, therefore, probably COM
tinue to be subdivided. as has been the
case for twenty-five years, into two
.braneies--the classic branch, where
seven or eight hours a week will be
devoted to studying Latin, and the
modern branch. where the same time
will be given Up to English.
Beside this big battle another
smaller one is being fought; but ii is
battle which belongs to the comic

Il versus-airplane controversy has
been revived by the first re
port, just published here, of
the civil aviation advisory board on
Imperial Air Mail Services. The main
subject of this first report is the prac-
tical steps to be taken toward the es-
tablishment of London to India air
mail. Publication of the report COIN
cides very nearly with the arrival at
Calcutta Of Major Blake and his flying
companions on the 30,o00-mile airplane
trip around the world, who now face
not the least difficult stage of their
journey-that from Calcutta to Van
couver.
The London to Calcutta fight has in
the meantime not been without its les
sons. A considerable delay at Mar
seilles followed the airmen's successful
hop there from the Croydon aerodrome
outside London. From Marseilles they
few to Brindisi, crossing the Apen-
mines at height Of 10000 feet, and
from Brindisi across the Adriatic to
Athens. The next stage removed one
Of the chief obstacles in the whole
journey to Calcutta. This was the 500
mile fight in land machine across
the Eastern Mediterranean from
Athens to sollum in Northwest Egypt.
Major Blake described it as the most
dangerous stage of the expedition to
Calcutta.
"All subsequent sea crossings" he
wrote home, will be made on sea-
plane, when forced descent will not
involve the practical certainty Of
drowning" as was the case during this
dash across the sea. More difficulties

Listen to the People
In the latest session of the Diet
bill was introduced calling for
drastic reduction of the Japanese army.
The bill demanded that the period of
compulsory military service be cut by
almost one-half: that is to say, from
two years to sixteen months. 1t de-
rnanded the reduction of the army
budget by 100000 yen year This
bill was fathered by the Seyukai, the
party in power, and embodied the
party's idea on this burning question
The masters of the japanese army,
however, pronounced the program ut

with fundamental requirements of safe

Japanese people in education and abil-

too low to permit any such drastic
seduction in the time of training:
second, that the machinery OF modern

The Pals wasted no time in start

in the first, saluted Whitney with a
slashing double to right, and Robin

him home, sending a long drive to
left.

Ocala, August 23.-Strength of the
Pals with the willow and their bril-

undoing of the Wildcats here yester-
day, the Cats being blanked, 6 to 0,
and incidentally lost the lead they
have maintained all season over the

game, but Craig was able to send the
Cats home by the pop-up or weakfish

is telling when this club goes into the

hold their own against the state

In yesterdays game seven of the

Among these points he the disappearance of the

of the treating evil and certain beneficial results of

changed attitude of formerly hostile statesmen, political

If prohibition had done than to abolish the

The antiprohibtionist may do all they to make the
