No, I take that back. They are tremendous- ly interested in taxes. They hate the Recessity of taxation, and want no} More wars Because of it. Let's interview some French peas- ants just as we happen to run into them in their villages or in the) fields. | For instance, here is Mauvieres, a | Uittle place about two miles down the andy road from the medieval city of Loches. I chatted with one of the house- wives who was feeding her chickens. At the sound of our voices five farm- ers came from the neighboring stone cottages and joined in the talk. I broached the subject of the big French army. They didn't believe this meant danger of another war. The government coulda’t contem- plate it. “You mean they couldn't mobilize ‘the country again?” I asked. “Well,” replied one of them, “we Peasants are scattered and it is hard to present united resistance, but the men in the towns would, no doubt, refuse. They all say they would. But no use-talking about that. There fs going to be no war. At the next election these fellows who believe in big armies will be smashed and then ‘we will have a government which ‘will cut the iy and let the people ‘work and be happy.” “At Gervaise, some miles from Am- his son, Marcel. They have been Louis is getting old and his temper is testy. I try him out with the usual ques, tions about big armies. He replies: “—-They say. Who say? I don't believe, They are lune- ties. France with an army of 800,- 000 men and the danger of another war? I don’t believe it. No, no. 1 don't believe.” “What don’t you believe?” The old man peevishly: “I don’t believe, I say!’ Marcel Jacopin was wounded at Ypres, but went back afterward and served thruout the war. Says he: “E have been thru one war and I don’t want any more of it. All those who have seen what it really is want No more of it, Talk about Ia gloire— glory! J’ en me fiche. Let them have their glory. You look at my sour mug and tel) yourself I am a inan who likes fighting. Well, you are mistaken, that’s all.

WAR—An officer in a West Rid- ing regiment, he served throughout the great 1914-1918 conflict, being / badly wounded a number of times and always returning to duty just as soon as he was patohed up. Just where the duke ts now ts a Purzie none In London can solve There were just three pieces of news im connection with him before he disappeared from his usual metro politan haunts, Ho was fined (5 for fast driving. He announced he was going to cross the Atlantic ocean single handed tn 4 12-ton ketch. And it was stated he had offered his services to the Irish Free State ‘useful. Knowing his tmpetuous character and his bravery and love of excite ment and adventure, his London pals are betting a pound sterling to a Plugged penny’ piece that he will “Dust” right into first page news al- Most any day soon. 1g Marcel Toutant and his old wife—both in the seventies. They, | too, have been working in the vine yard and are just on their way home to supper at § in the evening. They had one son in the war, He was wounded, but survived. Each of their daughters, however, lost thetr eldest son. The worthy couple didn't know France was supposed to have such a big army. They were more interested in grapes. But they had positive opinions about war. Le pere Toutant—“War? The gov- ernment couldn't think of it, No. body wants it. Nobody would stand for it." La mere Toutant (with a positive whake of her head)—"T don’t believe |the Germans want a new war any more than we.” (Copyright, 1922, by Seattle Star) Relatives of Mra.
