in fighting the evacuation of a country in which they are so comfortable." The Matin finds that the reputation of the French Army of Occupation is high enough not to be injured by "the affair of Germersheim, regrettable as it may be." On the other hand, "Pertinax" in the Nationalist Echo de Paris declares that Germany was already prepared to discredit the Army of Occupation whatever the result of the Landau trial. If Lieutenant Rouzier had been convicted, the cry would have been that French officers are brutal and overbearing; the acquittal is hailed as a miscarriage of justice. The Royalist Action Française regards the uproar in Germany as a political maneuver to facilitate a Nationalist Government, a "role suited to Herr Stresemann." The Homme Littéraire (Left) also suspects that Herr Stresemann is merely showing the Nationalists that Locarno and Thoiry have not spoiled his patriotism. The Messine (Metz) says that no account should be taken of speculations as to what a German court-martial would have done in a similar case in France, but that French traditions are those of generosity. "The Landau verdict should have been one of general acquittal." Eat all you want of Christmas dinner. Have a third helping of the turkey and do not spare the chestnut dressing. There is plenty of it. The New Health Society, of London, assures the world that turkey, chestnut-dressing, plum-pudding and mince pies are healthful and actually can be eaten in plenty - without discomfort, if one follows a few simple rules. The New Health Society declares: “Eat all the Christmas dinner you can get, and play deaf if a food faddist shouts ‘Stop!’ at you.” The vegetarian faddists held up to scorn by the New Health Society include the London Vegetarian Society, which is pledged to a vegetable Christmas dinner. “Stuffed nut roast” or imitation turkey is served at the Christmas meal of the Society. The “turkey” consists of almonds, pine kernels, mushrooms, butter, chestnuts, milk and eggs. As a matter of fact, turkey is a food easier to digest than many meats eaten throughout the year.

The “turkey” consists of almonds, pine kernels, mushrooms, butter, chestnuts, milk and eggs. As a matter of fact, turkey is a food easier to digest than many meats eaten throughout the year. Served with chestnut stuffing, it is both wholesome and nutritious. Plum pudding, since it contains various kinds of dried fruit, is a wholesome mixture. Mince pies, especially to the liking of those with good digestion, are excellent food. Any trouble experienced after the Christmas dinner is caused generally by unwise indulgence in other meals on the same day. It is therefore advisable to make a light breakfast. An occasional hearty meal such as the Christmas dinner can be eaten safely by most healthy people. The human body possesses remarkable reserve powers and it is quite reasonable to call on the digestive organs now and then for a little extra work. The simplest rules for Christmas are these: Do not let the children stuff themselves with sweets all day long (and do not do it yourself). Dried fruit is much better for the digestion than many sweets. Do not drink heavy wines. Do not dance or indulge in active games for an hour after the Christmas dinner. Turning to France, the marron glacé figures on Christmas menus as a stuffing for turkey, as a garnish, or in its own right. The maron glacé is a particularly characteristic Yuletide delicacy.

Turning to France, the marron glacé figures on Christmas menus as a stuffing for turkey, as a garnish, or in its own right. The maron glacé is a particularly characteristic Yuletide delicacy. The high price of candied chestnuts is due to two factors: The difficulty in securing perfect specimens, and the care necessary in their preparation. The supply of marrons glacés originally came from the Ardèche and Lyons, but this is no longer sufficient to meet the demand. Today, Italian chestnuts are imported, chiefly from Naples, Turin, and Florence; and recently Japanese chestnuts have been used. For the best confections, there should not be more than sixty chestnuts to the kilogramme. They are cooked in steel cylinders, fitted with wire layers to keep them separate and avoid breakage. The boiling point is never reached, and the water is changed several times to prevent the chestnuts from taking a reddish color from certain pigments in the skin. Each chestnut is then carefully cleaned by hand, and the lot placed in double boilers for sugaring. A thin cold syrup is the first stage, and the temperature and consistency is gradually increased during several days. The glaçage is the final stage; it consists in plunging the chestnuts into a thick syrup, on the point of changing to caramel, for their brilliant, translucent coating.

Diseases in Waves THEIR LAWS STILL A MYSTERY German Toys ENGLISH MODELS IMPORTED A feature of the Christmas season in Berlin this year is the large number of well-known British favorites to be found among the toys in every better-class shop. Dog and cat calendars of the true English variety are to be seen in all the well-known patterns, fitted, of course, with the days of the week in German, but quite to the exclusion of the time-honored national dachshund, whose figure, peculiarly suited for making notes on the more generous scale, is an annual decoration on German walls.

The Berlin Nationalist press naturally makes patriotic capital out of the Landau verdict. The Liberal papers are more measured, but they hope that the French Government will do something to counteract the psychological effect of the judgment. The Berliner Tageblatt hopes for a pardon for the convicted Germans, and it suggests that the garrison at Germersheim might be evacuated to appease the population there. Herr Streßmann's Tägliches Rundschau holds the same views, but instead of suggesting, it says: “We insist absolutely on this point.” The Nachrästi does not scorn the solution of clemency, and demands “positive satisfaction,” such as punishment for Lieutenant Rouzier and the recall of General Guillaumat. The Lokal Anzeiger also finds that a pardon would mean nothing, and it demands a “reversal of the infamous judgment of Landau.” Italian Comment. The judgment at Landau is declared by many Italian papers to have created serious tension between France and Germany. “Lieutenant Rouzier has killed the Spirit of Locarno with a revolver shot,” the Popolo di Roma writes. The Tevere insists that French policy was inspired by a militarist spirit. A Man's Country Italy has a larger proportion of men per unit of population than any other important country in Europe. For

Suicide Prévention A committee for the prevention of suicide has operated in Zurich for the past five years. Of the six hundred would-be suicides dealt with during this period, nearly two hundred had already made one attempt upon their lives before their cases were brought to the attention of the committee. In most instances, those who contemplate suicide are in need of money; immediate aid removes the desire.

The main conclusion of the report is that the individuals of a community should be isolated from each other to the greatest extent possible in their sleeping quarters, this provision being particularly important in those communities to which many susceptibles are frequently added. Poor Babies! The newborn babies, the report states in conclusion, are the recruits to the population; hence the overwhelming morbidity of infectious diseases among children opposed to adults. “The newborn baby,” it continues, “seems to possess a remarkable immunity to certain infections, which is often casually explained as being due to its protected environment. As a matter of fact, the opportunities which a newborn baby has of receiving doses of any bacteria that may be in the environment are considerable. A baby is fondled and caressed by all its immediate fellow-humans, and it is truly remarkable that infantile mortality should be as low as it is.

Low, the cartoonist of the London “Star,” therefore pictures Mr. Baldwin in this situation, taking as a text the shortage of fuel in London which is particularly acute today. A Biography of Poe - GIVES LIGHT ON EARLY YEARS Hitherto-unknown details of the childhood and early life of Edgar Allan Poe are given in “Isaef,” by Hervey Allen, which has just been published in New York. Having to the fact that important private letters concerning that period were given out only last year, the author has been able to offer what is probably the first coherent account of the formative years lived by a strange literary genius. To the age of fifteen, Poe, the orphan, was brought up as quite an ordinary lad in the household of his foster-father, John Allan. The latter was a hard-willed Scotsman, who was fond of young Eddie. But since Poe was forced to take sides against Mrs. Allan, who discovered the irregularities of her husband, the fight between the two was long and bitter. While Poe was at the University, John Allan refused to give him money for ordinary needs. The result was that Poe gambled, drank, and became a prey to nervous

The author also discusses Poe's relations with his child-wife, the ethereal, consumptive Virginia. THE MAD OF THE DAY Old Palestine The whole of the colonnaded main Street at Jerash, in Palestine, about 1,000 yards in length, joining the North and South gates, has now been excavated, and it is possible to drive in a motor-car through the ruins of the chief public buildings and over the pavement that still shows marks left by the wheels of the Roman chariots. Insurance in Japan MANY FIRMS IN DIFFICULTIES As a result of too-fierce competition, Japanese fire insurance business is passing through a severe crisis at present. Before the war there were only some fifteen native companies of reputation doing business in Japan, but after the war their numbers increased rapidly and now there are about forty. As there has not been a corresponding increase in the number of insurable risks there is not enough business to go round, and this has led to extensive rate-cutting, with the inevitable disastrous result. The local tariff is not so strong as it might be, and high commissions are being paid in the endeavor to obtain business, while there is considerable illicit rebating to the

As there has not been a corresponding increase in the number of insurable risks there is not enough business to go round, and this has led to extensive rate-cutting, with the inevitable disastrous result. The local tariff is not so strong as it might be, and high commissions are being paid in the endeavor to obtain business, while there is considerable illicit rebating to the insured. A certain amount of facultative reinsurance is transacted among the offices, and many of the companies are paying 35 percent, and even 40 percent commission for such business. Since fire insurance cannot be profitably conducted in these circumstances, certain companies have decided to curtail their underwriting as far as possible until better conditions obtain. Many of the native companies are further handicapped in that loans which they received from the Japanese Government at the time of the earthquake are now due for repayment, and everything points to some of them disappearing or being absorbed by the stronger companies in the near future. Bacteria Shells It is reported from Moscow that the Soviet Military Administration has established on the Island of Kurgaly, in the Northern part of the Caspian Sea, a military bacteriological station, in order to experiment with bacteria shells and to arrange for manufacturing them.

To the Editor of The Paris Times At this time of year, an Englishman in Paris naturally thinks of Dickens. and he looks about him for any spots in the city that are connected with the novelist and his work. London, of course, is full of such associations. Not long ago the “actual” stick that Mr. Boffin was so well known to carry was “discovered” in a tavern in Clerkenwell. The owner of the establishment gave the article an unimpeachable pedigree. Dickens was at one time a permanent resident in Paris and lived at 48, Rue de Courcelles, now demolished and rebuilt as 38. But he must have made several places famous in a novel such as "A Tale of Two Cities" and it would be interesting if any of your readers, better acquainted with Paris than the present writer, could identify the spots and make them known to him through the medium of your correspondence columns. An enthusiast in Paris. MR. EDMUND HELLER Naturalist friend of the late Theodore Roosevelt and co-author with him of "Life Histories of African Game Animals," Mr. Edmund Heller, a companion of the famous Roosevelt African hunt of 1909, has just reached Paris again with one thousand specimens of big game, birds and reptiles which he has been collecting for the past three years in the Belgian Congo for the Field Museum of Natural History
