Hia attitude was consid erably like that of Mark Twain who, when- informed of his own reported demise replied with a dry chuckle that the report had been grossly exagge rated. Rodzianko was emphatic but un fretted. He appeared to know where of he spoke. "Peace now would be the' greatest blow ever suffered by Russia." Shid lovsky declared.

"These are somo of the benefits of the war which Russia expects. Until Germany is beaten .we can not get them. Can you wonder thr.n every Russian says 'No!' when you mention peace now?"

It abounds' in situations of great intensity which gain in effect by being probable and logical. ARCADE "Best By Test" imposed by herself and her None other. Within the last three months, or the last quarter of the first two years of the war, Franco four times official ly has said so. A formal declaration by her presi dent, a formal statement by her prime minister, a spontaneous outburst in her chamber of denuties nr.d a Breafc ' manifestation by the French people '.U1.. ll 1 J J .L ' A iiieuiaeivcs uu nave suiu mis ana France closed the second year of the war with an absolutely solid front for a peace for all time to come. May 14 at Nancy, President Poin vaire delivered perhaps the most re markable address that ever fell from the lips of a French President. It chrystallized the sentiments of the "French on peace. "We do not want our enemies to 'offer us peace," he declared, "but we want them to demand it of us. We do not want to accept the conditions they have to offer: we want to im- 'pose on them our own. We do not want a peace that will leave Imperial .Germany mistress to recommence the war when she chooses; we want a peace based on restored right with serious guarantees of equilibrium and stability. And until that peace is as sured, until our enemies recognize themselves defeated, we will never cease to fight." The French press without a dissent ing voice upheld these words. Prime Minister Briand within a week pub licly confirmed the position of M. Poincaire as that of the French gov ernment itself. In refusing to accept the olive branch of diplomacy as a means of settlintr the wnr France did not fear that in diplomatic negotiations with Germany she might be worsted. She is willine to let her victory in the Agadir case stand as a witness to her diplomatic superiority. Germany re fused in July-and August of 1914 to accept diplomacy to settle the contro versy. She insisted upon war and France insists that Germany must finish with war. Following these declarations there came within a week n spontaneous outburst in the French chamber as still further affirmation that France docs not wartt even to discuss a ne gotiable peace. M. Raffin-Dugens, socialist mem ber, had just returned from Kienthal, Switzerland, where in a private ca pacity he had attended the Second International Socialistic conierence to Bring About Peace. Arising, hi demanded the right to speak on "cer tain discourses pronounced recently in the name of France, some of which were not calculated to bring about peace. The two blocks oi nations tnat hnve rushed at each other's throats." He cot no further. The chamber to a man rose in a storm of protest. was long before President Des- chanel could make himself heard. "I am astounded,"' he finally managed to cry out, "that any Frenchman could even intimate that the provocation for the present war did not come solely from the side of Germany." M. Raffin-Dugens apologized and the only chance ever offered to the French chamber to discuss peace was buried. The people themselves followed quickly, within a week, with one of those manifestations that, mark epochs in the life of nations. Be fore the present war France was not united on the question of prepared 'ncss. If a regiment of troops passed it was certain someone would applaud and cry "Viva l'armee"; and that someone else would shout "Vive la Paix." Noisy groups would form and riots were likelv to follow. ' On June 1, in honor of her dead ' general, Gallieni, Paris witnessed the first great military display that has taken place since the war began. As cension day is one of the great na tional holidays of France. Represen tatives !of all France lined the streets through which the funeral cortege passed. Ordinarily people do not applaud at funeral. But the French .waiting until the body of Gallieni had passed applauded and cheered the troops representing every branch of the rrench army. A quiet handclapping began .at note of opposition. There on the corner, as I paused, Among the thousands of applaud- Where the postoffice used to be, era there were hundreds of women Stood a new white brick front building wearing small bunches of violets, That now was the library; women whose mourning garments 'And just across from there and down showed they had lost a son, a father ' A half of a block or so, a brother or a sweetheart in the war.

But things to me in a general way, The violets had been intended for Gallieni, but when the cortege began moving, these women suddenly saw broader and larger. They saw in the death of Gallieni the man who Vnd mnre.y saved Paris, while in the troops that followed they saw what must ultimately save all Franco. And is ii by some sudden, subtle instinct the hands raised to shower the violets on the ibier of Gallieni were stayed Looked just the same, about; I enquired for folks I used to know, But with a good deal of doubt; However, a few old friends remained; I met them, and we were glad, To be together again, and it seemed" Like home did, with mother and dad.
