It was brought to Europe by an Englishman, Thomas Pitt, grandfather of the statesman, who had acquired it in India for the equivalent of 312,500 gold francs. It came into French possession two years later, when it was purchased by Philippe d’Orléans, Regent of France, whence its name. Philippe paid for it two and a half million gold francs, or about 30 million francs in today’s money. When Louis XV was crowned, the diamond was set in his crown, and his Queen, Marie Leszczynska, wore it in a brooch. During the French Revolution, the Regent was one of 9,546 crown diamonds placed on view every Monday for the pleasure of the people, in the National Warehouse which is now one of the great hôtels of the Place de la Concorde. One of the mob, however, was not above temptation; he was Miette, a gang leader, and he broke into the storehouse and carried off the Regent and other gems. It was a woman, the "Citoyenne" Corbin, who betrayed the thieves and led the police to the gems. Napoléon, who liked jewels, rescued the Regent, which had been pawned by the Republic, and brought it back from Basel to be set in his state sword.

North wins with Ace and King of Spades, and follows with a low Heart, which South ruffs. South wins with two more Spades North discarding a low Club. South then leads a fifth Spade, and here West has to be careful of his Heart discards. If West strips down to two Hearts, one of North’s low Hearts can be ruffed, and the third set up as a winner. West must, therefore, strip down to a singleton Diamond or Club. Let us say he discards his Club Jack. North unguards the same suit, which South now leads for North to win. The Ace of Hearts is then cashed, South discarding a low Diamond. A Heart ruff puts South into lead the last trump, which results in a double squeeze. West cannot throw his Heart, for then North would retain his Heart six as a winner; West, therefore, throws one of his two Diamonds, and North discards his last Heart. East is now in difficulties. If he unguards his Diamond Queen, North wins the two last tricks with Diamonds; if he throws his Club King, South’s club seven is set up. In either case all thirteen tricks are in sight.

The diamond had one of its greatest triumphs, when Louis-Philippe, who had taken it to Rambouillet during the Revolution of 1830, had it escorted back to Paris by 50,000 troops! The Empress Eugénie, however, who might have worn it beautifully, could not do so as Napoléon III, when having other crown jewels reset, dared not touch the Regent which had been declared state property. In the frantic years of the Franco-Prussian war, the Regent was placed for safe-keeping in the arsenal at Brest, and then in the hold of a French warship. Brought back again to Paris in 1872, it lay for 15 years in the cellar of the Ministry of Finance.

F.-M. — 11 — L'ATLANTIQUE With "Normandie" on the Atlantic, and Major Campbell on the speedway of Indianapolis, the attainment of new speed records no longer attracts the attention it once did. "Faster, still faster" seems to be the slogan of the age: and yet, there is one country which has not succumbed to this almost universal desire for speed, where Life proceeds slowly and peacefully as it did centuries ago. That country is Morocco. It is only a few hours from France, but to travel to Morocco is to return to the Middle Ages, in customs, atmosphere, and folklore. True, the new Morocco is as up to date as Paris, and this is due to the civilizing genius of Marshal Lyautey, that statesman of the highest class, who built an empire, who won and deserves the title of Lyautey Africanus. His genius and dynamism are responsible for the miracle of modern Morocco, in which all the picturesque and colorful traits of the old are retained. Doubtless, everything has already been written about this mysterious land which, during

His genius and dynamism are responsible for the miracle of modern Morocco, in which all the picturesque and colorful traits of the old are retained. Doubtless, everything has already been written about this mysterious land which, during the last century, was spoken of with awe as Barbary. But, Morocco is a land, inexhaustible in its treasures, never quite revealing the secrets it conceals. Indeed, quite appropriately, Morocco has been compared to its women who cover their faces with veils, and consequently hide their Oriental charm and beauty. And yet, with patience, with determination, the explorer, whether amateur or professional, can discover the real Morocco, and love it. For this ancient land, such a noble subject for meditation, has always something novel to offer the sincere seeker. Personally, I have returned quite frequently to Morocco during the past decade. In traveling there, I have used different modes of locomotion: steamships, airplanes, and even the railroad across Spain. But, whether I voyaged on the S. S. "Meknes" and debarked at Casablanca, whether I soared above Morocco’s fields and the gray terraces of Fez, whether I arrived from Gibraltar before the rose-colored and blueish houses of Tangier, I invariably experienced a new pleasure. However, to speak frankly, I think it was my arrival at Casablanca which gave me the most complete pleasure. What a contrast!

However, to speak frankly, I think it was my arrival at Casablanca which gave me the most complete pleasure. What a contrast! From the busy quays of Bordeaux, covered with hundreds of casks of reddish wine, we are suddenly transported, as we reach Casablanca, to a new world, streaming with sunshine, and marked nevertheless by a feverish activity. On the cement wharves, thirty electric cranes daily manifest their agility as the ships come in or depart. Sugar, tomatoes, beans, mutton and other products of Morocco are being placed on board, destined for the dinner tables of Paris or London. After leaving the "Meknes", let us stroll to the Place de France; let us mingle with its picturesque multitude: tourists, colonials, officers, business men, boot-blacks, fellahs draped in their "gandouras", rich Moslems dressed in silk. They talk, they gesticulate, they wander hither and yon, and the entire square vibrates with an intense movement. Enveloped in their Oriental garments, native women pass: a few feet away are European or American ladies, dressed in the latest creations of the Rue de la Paix. Here are banks and department stores which would be a credit to any French provincial city. Nor should we forget the motion picture theaters, showing the latest films from Hollywood. The posters are alluring and enticing. A Riffian peasant, clad in his "djellabah", several soldiers who once served under Abd El Krim are contemplating with astonishment a

A Riffian peasant, clad in his "djellabah", several soldiers who once served under Abd El Krim are contemplating with astonishment a picture of Clark Gable and Myrna Loy. But, have we traveled so many miles across the sea to find (as Emerson once said) exactly the thing from which we fled? Definitely, no! Casablanca is only a portal, a gateway, through which we must pass to the discovery of interior Morocco. Before we depart, let us get accustomed to the atmosphere of Casablanca, to its intense sunshine, to its Franco-Moorish folkways. Let us drink in the vitality of this new country, so that we may understand that Morocco is, in a certain sense, "the youth of France." It is also the history of an ancient world. Wherever we go, we are certain to discover the prestige of today’s France and yesterday’s Morocco. We shall encounter castles of cruel sultans, holy places of the Muslim religion, even traces of the Roman legions. Each has left profound marks upon this country. Would you like to go to the North ? Rabat offers you souvenirs of its pirate chiefs; Meknes awaits you with a wonderful copy of Versailles, Volubilis with its Roman ruins, while Fez is burdened with impénétrable secrets, Ouezzan is enveloped in murmurs of the Cherif’s descendants.

Je sens un peu de ce même sentiment dans le bel article que Monsieur Rosny aîné a dédié au même, dans La Dépêche du jour : il expose une conception de la guerre très généralisée pendant le dixième siècle et qui n'a pas laissé une littérature spéciale, mais qui a exercé une influence considérable sur la société. Cette conception isole dans la guerre des batailles, qui elles avaient une importance par elles-mêmes, de sorte que la victoire obtenue sur une de ces batailles est considérée comme une gloire de la nation, quelle que fut l'issue et le résultat finalement de la guerre. De cette façon, une bataille devient une sorte de partie de football entre les nations ; celui qui gagne la bataille a droit à un prix, et le prix consistera soit dans l'admiration des autres, soit dans des avantages imaginés par le vainqueur est de déterminer.

De cette façon, une bataille devient une sorte de partie de football entre les nations ; celui qui gagne la bataille a droit à un prix, et le prix consistera soit dans l'admiration des autres, soit dans des avantages imaginés par le vainqueur est de déterminer. A cette conception de la guerre antique et à peu à voir avec la guerre véritable, telle qu'elle se pratique dans l'histoire des généraux. Les batailles ne sont que les acts d'un ensemble plus vaste qui est la guerre; le plus souvent elles n'ont pas des résultats; sauf des exceptions (elles n'aboutissent qu'à un momentané avance momentanée du vainqueur). La guerre continue ; et dans elle agissent beaucoup d'autres facteurs de forces politiques, des forces économiques, même des forces psychologiques. Dans ce jeu complexe et confus, sous les défaites sont nécessaires pour que la guerre aboutisse à un résultat favorable des victoires qui entraînent le vainqueur dans une voie qui aboutira à la ruine. En tout cas, le résultat ne dépend qu'en partie de la force militaire et il n'est jamais proportionné avec les sacrifices que la force militaire a coûtés. Ce que le vainqueur pourra demander à la fin de la guerre dépend de circonstances beaucoup plus complexes que la situation militaire créée par les armées ; de toute sorte de facteurs, par exemple la géographie jusqu'à la politique, à la diplomatie et à l'économie exercent leur action irrésistible. C'est une conception romancière de la guerre, grâce à laquelle, plus ou moins, tous les peuples de l'Europe plongent dans leur histoire quelques-uns en ont fait des gloires finales sur des descriptions sans imagination. Cette conception, même dans l'esprit des dirigeantes du monde occidental, la idée et la
