The first-prize essay: The Co-Operation of tho French. In that brilliant chain of events which led to the establishment of the United States as a free and independ ent Nation, nothing appeals more strongly to the natrlotie Amertpnn than the action of the French government in Decoming a party to the struggle for liberty. The cause was rooted In the deep resentment which France enter tained toward England since the treaty of 1763. It was the bitter fate of France to look oq, while England became the mistress of the sea, the greatest colo nial power on earth, and the dominant influence in European politics. The dawn of peace marked the end of the long struggle for colonial supremacy between England and France. "War had decided that America was to be ruled by Teuton, not Latin. By an Irony of Fate. Latin jealousy of Teuton became the instrument of elevating Teuton over Latin. The struggle just ended had been one of the most bril liant In England's history, the peace just begun the most triumphant. But England's gain was France's loss. France was fallen on the "grunsel edge." Her colonies lost, her finances demoralized, her navy shattered, her army disorganized. The hour called for a man and the great Cholseul, Min ister of Foreign Affairs, responded to the call. Earnestly engaged in rais ing his country from her depression, he kept a no less watchful eye on the de velopment of the English colonies in America, ever seeking an opportunity to strike a blow against the hereditary enemy. To this end he had sent an officer In disguise to America to report on the condition of affairs. His keen eye detected the flaw In English pol loy in the passing of the stamp act. Tower cites this as one of the most remarkable cases of foresight In his tory. Cholseul even reported to the King that the time was not far dis tant when the American colonies would throw off the yoke of England. Cholseul was little understood and less favored by the shallow monarch. It Is doubt ful whether America, had she risen at this moment, would have received any encouragement in France. But Jhe seed sown by the prophetic Cholseul was destined to bear fruit. The accession of Louis XVI In 177 brought a new ministry, with M. do "Ver gennes as the ruling power a man whose sole ambition was tho glory of France. He, like Cholseul, believed that the great ness of England was but a menace to France, and that the former indignities which his country had suffered at the hands of England must be avenged before France should again rise to greatness. Duller of vision than Cholseul. he was not quick to grasp the seriousness of the position into which England had fallen with her colonies, nor did the first out break in America cause any grave appre hension in the French Cabinet. But when in 1775 England began to transport large numbers of troops to America, the impor tance of the approaching conflict became, evident to Vergennes. Would the upris-" ing in the English colonies gh'o France tho opportunity of re-establishing her lost prestige? Eager and hopeful, Vergennes took steps to arouse the King to the ne cessity for action. At this period, the Impulse of liberty, the new spirit of democracy, was stirring the hearts of men throughout the whole world. Tho new movement animated the nobles, the writers, tho philosophers and the diplomats alike: it was the "genuine sympathy her people felt with the spirit of freedom abroad in the world. The quickenlngs of liberty were strong in French breasts; the foremost writers, Vol taire and Rousseau, believed in represent ative government," says Sloane. Political Jealousy alone could not have impelled Franco to ally herself with the colonies; on the other hand, the philosophers and patriots of England were the envy of those of France. In his "Epochs of Mod ern History" 2dr- Malcolm Ludlow says: "France was compelled to look up with longing eyes to England's political liberty, her untrammeled science, her freedom of speech and thought. What if to such a France there should be revealed another England, still freer than the one already known, still bolder in speech, and withal breaking out in a llfe-and-death struggle with the England of the Old "World? Would not such a struggle arouse in the hearts of Freuchmen a feeling of bitter hatred for the older England, and a feel ing of admiration and pity for the new?" Vergennes had a shrewd perception of the signs of the times. Seeing tho possi bility of a war with England, with mas terly diplomacy he hastened to strengthen the family compact by which Cholseul had united the various branches of the Bour bon family. Potnting out to Carlos III the extreme danger in which the Spanish West Indies were placed by the presence of a large British army in America, he secured tho favorable attention of that Monarch to the "common interests of Spain and France, in aiding. Uie colonies against tho mother country." in a dis patch to the French Minister at Madrid, dated August 7. 1775. appears the first direct intimation that Vergennes Intended to intervene in behalf of the colonies. When, a few days later, England issued her famous proclamation of "Rebellion." he realized that the opportunity was ripe. It was a time for action; France should no longer remain passive. If she wished to retrieve her lost glory, it was now or never. A secret agent was dispatched to America. Following up the opportunity, Vergennes now presented his "Reflexions" to the King. The Minister's great argu ment lay in the belief that the rise of France depended on the success of tho American Revolution. Toward the close of 1775 he presented another paper show ing tho benefits to be derived by France from an effective co-operation with the colonies, and containing a discussion as to the nature, the proper time and val uable results of French assistance; and shrewdly urging that-quiescence would prove disastrous to France. The "Re flexions", of Vergennes at least secured the "royal acquiescence to the pro gramme." HeaiPwhlle the colonies fought their life life and, death struggle, no helping band stretched out to save. Special commis sioners and secret agents brought pleas ant words, but substantial aid had not materialized. Hope was revived by a long letter from France In September. Li6, stating tbo favorable attitude of Ver gennes, promising arms and munitions of war, soldiers and military engineers. Congress determined to send an embassy to the court of Louis XVI. On the first ballot Franklin was chosen by unani mous vote. On hearing the result, ho is said to have turned to a friend with the remark: "I am old and good for noth ing, but. as the storekeepers say of their remnants, 'I am but a fag end, and- you may have me for what you please.' " Ar thur Lee and Silas Deane. already in Europe, were named his colleagues. Franklin's arrival in Paris was a com plete surprise even swift rumor had not preceded his vessel. But this served only to heighten the enthusiasm of "his recep tion. Never did a heartier demonstration await a returning French hero than that which greeted the grand old patriot.

To the French people he was tho very embodiment of patriot Ism and practical wisdom; he was Franklin the hero, and champion of lib erty. -for which all France was yearning. The effect of his arrival was electrifying among the fashionable set of Paris. The best society crowded about the old man to pay their respects. Their admiration approached .folly. "Gentlemen wore Franklin hats, ladies kid gloves were dyed of a 'Franklin hue, and 'cotellettes a la Franklin' were served at fashionable dinners," says Fiske. Yet such flattering attentions merely amused him. He was the1 same Franklin as of old. tne repre sentative of a plain, fearless' and pa triotic people. His cheering presence, his countenance, his demeanor all expressed a perfect confidence in tho ultimate tri umph of the colonies. This the man or whom Turgot was proud to say; "Brlplut caels fulmen, sceptrumque tyrannls." The campaign of 1776 was a dismal fail ure: the battle of Long Island had been fought and lost, and New York was in British hands. Tho behavior of tho troons was bad in some instances, and many of tho best officers were killed. These events cast a gloom over the whole country the outlook was dark for tne colonies. These failures produced almost the same effect in France as in America All was gloom and apprehension. Ver gennes had reason that the restoration of France lay in the success of the Amer ican Revolution, and he was but waiting for the time when he could depend on the colonists for an effective co-operation. France was yet in a state of bankruptcy; the colonies had nothing. Tho risk was great. France was playing a gambling game. The long succession of defeats which the Americans had suffered was discouraging to Vergennes; he was long ing for a victory, something which would make him feel as if tho Americans were on the road to independence. The hope of Franco lay In a successful America; but should she ally herself with the colonies only to see England triumph In the end, it would mean her ruination. The fer vent LaFayette abandoned home, fortune, everything to enlist in tho cause of lib erty, and against the remonstrances of family. King and court, set sail for America. But the darkest hour precedes the dawn. On December 4, 1777. there came glad news from across the sea "General Burgoyne and his whole army are prisoners of war!" Franco went wild. Victory! The flower of tho Brit ish army in American bandsl Franco no longer concealed the intention of openly allying herself with the colo nies. Tho colonists had proved their ability did it not mean a successful America? Saratoga was tho focaV point of the Revolution. News of tho great British defeat had caused a com plete somersault in Lord North's pol icy. Parliament was ready for concil iation, and to this end dispatched three commissioners to Congress. Frank lin's diplomacy found its opportunity. Should France neglect the opportunity to intervene in behalf of the colonies, England would conciliate. Herein lay tho importance of Saratoga. On Feb ruary 6, 1778. the American envoys at tached their signatures and seals to three documents 'the treaty of amity and commerce." the "treaty of alli ance" and a "secret article" providing for tho admission of Spain into the compact whenever that tardy power should desire it. No longer Is tho struggle to be confined to tho arms of Great Britain and America. Hence forth it becomes' a world struggle. Ancient Jealousy and hatred of En gland, the popular wave of democracy, the victory of Saratoga with its out look for France the promises of con ciliation by Great Britain, the man for the hour. Franklin, with diplomacy to make proper use of the opportunity; the resolute independence of the colo nists and the generalship of Washing ton these were the forces which jrava the turn to the wheel and led to French co-operation, the climax of the war. But "the mills of God grind slowly." Two long years have elapsed since the Joyous news of Saratoga was first spread broadcast over the world, and the people have as yet failed to see the consequences of that great event. The alliance has accomplished little from a military point of view. Tho French fleet, under D'Estaing, whose help America needed so surely, had failed in the Joint expeditions against New York. Newport and Savannah, nor had Washington enjoyed th co-operation of any French land force. The un popularity of the alliance increased dally; late events had seemed to Justify the mistrust - in which it was held. American had no love for Frenchman; the "treaty with France was Indeed a marriage of convenience rather than Of affection." as Fiske has. phrased it. Now Englanders were bitterly op posed to an alliance with the despotic power, whose cruelties in exciting the Indian? against them In former wars they well remembered. The American soldiers did not take well to the thought of being commanded by for eigners; thero were constant disputes; even the French officers quarreled among themselves. Add to this a general snpineness among the Ameri can soldiers, caused by outside aid, then the result becomes apparent. Though in an Indirect way the alliance was helpful in neutralizing much Brit ish energy and in turning it aside from the colonies to Europe, yet these bene fits aro inconsiderable as compared to the many defects. This state of affairs might have continued until England triumphed over the colonies had not the generalship of Washington proved the means of deliverance. When Corn wallis had retreated to Torktown, .closely followed by the skillful Lafay ette, Washington was quick to grasp the situation. He saw the elements which might lead to the destruction of Cornwallis and ultimately end the war. He had at last found the niche wherein tho French aid might at. De Grasse had just arrived with a pow erful fleet from the West Indies, and Lafayette had proved himself a worthy antagonist to the ablest of British Generals. Washington! plan was exe cutcd. It is needless to pause upon the ' result. The circumstances of Corn wallis surrender are known to every American and the deeds of the gallant victors dear to every heart. This, the one instance where French aid was in dispensable; Washington, the one Gen eral who could have dealt the crush ing blow. The American Revolution was a world struggle. It proved that man could be sclf-gove.rnlng. It is vain to gush over the unselfish nobility of France. As France was a self-seeker, sho reaped no ultimate advantage; as Franco was an Instrument in the di vine hands of Providenco to establish liberty and equality, the world was the gainer. She only helped to elevate the c ; Saxon above the Latin. Let all tho world be grateful for the Instrument and for tho blessing it wrought. ELMER ELLIS YOUNG. Portland High School.

SEEK ERRING WIFE Police Are Looking for Woman Vho Eioped, MRS. ALBERT KINYON WANTED Abandons Husband and Babe In Cal Ifernla to Come tox Portland With a Stranger Employed at the Exposition Grounds. Somewhere, within the limits of the city of Portland there Is believed to be a woman who deserted a husband and babe In San Bernardino, Cal., to elopo with a man who is an employe at the exposition grounds. The local police nave been notified by tho San Bern ardino authorities to watch for tho guilty persons. The sorrowful hus band In San Bernardino Is using every means to locate his erring wifo and tho mother of his baby. On March 11, Albert Kinyon, a me chanic employed In tho Santa Fe shops at San Bernardino, found upon return ing to his home after tho day's work mat no was without a' wife. Kinyon's aged mother was holding in her arms a crying babe, which had been returned home by a messenger boy hired by the younger Mrs. Kinyon for that nurnose. The baby 13 a little girl Just learning to cau ner xatner and mother by oiame. Two years ago, while on a visit to Los Angeles, Kinyon met Miss Kate Laurent, married her and took her to his mother's home In Ban Bernardino. Later they set up housekeeping in H street. Married life turned out to be a failure in their case, and before long tne shadow of "another man" fell across the threshold of the family. Things went from bad to worse until on the afternoon of March 11 Mrs. Kin yon stopped at tho bouse of a friend, rang for a messenger boy, and when the boy arrived gave him her 9 -months- old girl baby. "Take the baby home," she said, "and tell them I got drunk and felj. down." The boy took the baby and departed. finally handing the child to Kinyon's mother with the message from the wife. Mrs. Kinyon notified het son, knowing full well that the message was a He, as her daughter-in-law was never known to drink. The son re turned from his work and began a search, to find that his wife had re ceived a telegram from the other man in tho case and had left on the evening train for ixjs Angeles. The woman was traced to Los Angeles, where it was discovered that she had met the man and that the couple had taken a train for San Francisco. From .the latter place they departed, having purchased tickets for Portland. There Kinyon learned that the man was to be em ployed at the Exposition grounds. Ho could not learn the man's name or in what capacity he was to be employed in this city. Kinyon returned to his home in San Bernardino, communicated with the police, and at their suggestion notified the police department here. He also stated that he would be in Portland as soon as possible, and he is expected within a few days. In the meantime the police are looking for the couple, of whom they have excellent descrip tions, and are awaiting the coming of the husband and father, when a vig orous search will be made throughout the city. Outgoing trains and boats are being closely watched. The man may be one wanted In Los Angeles for a more serious crime, and for this reason special interest is given the case. Tho little city of San Bernardino has for the time being forgotten its fruits and Its flowers and Is extending sym pathy to Albert Kinyon, who is well known and unlvorsally respected among his associates and fellow-employes. His parents have lived in San Bernardino for years, and the boy was raised there and is known as an hpn est and conscientious man. -He declares he will follow his wife until he, finds her, and that ho will hen compel her to return and do her duty by their child.

As to arbitration, he said: "Tkie American people hold to the doc trine that international difficulties should be settled by some other means than by an appeal to force; than by a resort to the cold and merciless arbitrament of arms. We believe that the time has come in the world's progress when international differences, as a rule, can be determined in the high court of reason.
