CONDUCT OF THE FRENCH
"It
RANCE has had no
Dress Dtopoganda in
defense of her con
duct because she has needed
no defense." said M. Hovelac-
que, a distinguished French
scholar speaking in San Fran
cisco. The remark was justified.
Of all the nations at war no
country has a record so clean
as France. To begin with
France did not make war. That
country was attacked and lit
erally forced to fight.
In every way is the French
attitude admirable. No vain-
jrlorious claims have ever come
i'orth from the French war of
licc. As far as paper victories
iind accomplishments are con
cerned Paris has been outdist
anced by Pctrograd, Berlin,
Ixmdon, Vienna and Rome.
Hut the French have done
the most noteworthy thing of
the war. They blocked the
inarch to Paris. They did that
despite the fact the Germans
were extremely well prepared
and thought themselves invin-
ible. They have been that in
this war except when they
have met the immovable ob
ject in the form of the French
defense.

was driven back from his ad
vance toward the French cap

ed in America led to the im
pression that the English
troops, with some assistance

If Huerta is the cause of
peace between Carranza and

good even if he does have to go
to jail for it.

not be large; a few congenial com
panions are better than a crowd of
unrtwslmilated people. Properly pre
pared for and wisely carried out, a
brief sojourn in tent or cabin In the

(From the Detroit News.)
German sailors on steamships
.which are held up in New York have,
'several of them, gone mad. Idleness
and homesickness are the causes, hos.
i pital authorities say.
Homesickness finds strange vic
tims. Army surgeons know that
sometimes it kills. Often it Is the
man without a regular home who is
most subject to nostagilia. This dis
turbance of soul, mind and body set
tles down upon the plegmatlc, the
burly, the thick-skinned. It takes
them under sunny skies amid the
earth's best loveliness and they moan
for dirty streets where they played
in childhood.
Idleness breeds homesickness and
active diversion cures It. It Is akin
to melancholia and comes In myste
rious ways. Probably It arises from
the biological Impulse Intended to
anchor man in one place long enough
for him to take root. Its opposing
in.tini t Is the wanderlust.
Kxplorers have confessed that the
worst homesicknessness they have
known was In the first few hours and
days of their return. In familiar sur
roundings the marks of time's Inex
orable progress were painfully appar
ent. Changes, small and large, tor
tured them by reminders of the pre
cious past. Home have turned in
despondent revulsions to take up their
roamlnga again.
