The army which - thinks it can place.itself in safety by getting be- hind a wide river and plowing up the bhridges will have some disappointing and fatal surprises in store for it. These are the declarations of Gen-|’ eral Estienne, who as “father of the IFrench tank” during the war §s still at the head of that service in the French army.

Thanks to them we would have been latle suddenly to burst into the mid- dle of the enemy-in the most unex- pected fastion and pulverize every- thing within range.

How many schoolboys, struggling with the story of the Gallic wars, know that Caesar founded in- Rome what presently grew.into & daily city paper? It was up-to-date, too, even 1n Its name, “Acta Diurna—the Dally Events or Dal- Iy Doings. v a4 At first the Daily Events, or Acts, was published merely by setting up In the Forum a white board on which the news was inscribed. The Romans stood rouid on tiptoe craning their necks to see, quite as the crowds stand today in every city in the land to watch the newspaper bulletins, and sometimes. & trumpet-voiced cltizen, studying what was written. on. the " ‘“album,”..or “white,” would turn and roar out'the information to the gaping listeners. Caesar had a double purpose in this. He reasoned that, if affairs were re- corded “dally -and published in a busy place like the 'Forum, such publicity would let the people know what their officers were up to, and would thus check the secret passage of unpopular- laws and corrupt measures; and as he was playing the desperate game of Ro- man politics, In which banishment or: \cath. followed downfall, he had to know- what his opponents were doing | behind the closed doors of the senate, and the publication of their transa¢- tions daily made it less easy for his en- emies to'lay dangerous plans without his knowledge. " Finally, he understood perfectly the value of such an’organ to advertise himself.
