Why We Love F rance By the Rev. Thomas B, Gregory. Copyright, 1918, by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York Evening World.) DRHAPS more books have been written and more talk made over the French Revolution than over any other event in profane history. No uprising of @ people, certaivly, hay ever touched the heart of that which began wiih the storming of the Bastile. Why is this so? Because, to begin with, “Man's inhumanity to man” never received a more fearful illustration than it did in the France of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries—never, at least, until the Kaiser and his Germans turned themselves loose upon the world. Human arrogance, greed und cruelty pressed down upon France with @ remorselessness that knew no pity, and when at last the poor people turned on the scoundrels who had for so long oppressed and degraded them all the world said “‘Amen'—aud the amen sounded forth to the ends of the earth, Another reason for the Interest—we may say the loving interest—that we take in France is found in the fact that she was animated by th noblest spirit that ever warmed a nation’s heart, the enthusiasm of humanity, the desire for universal freedom and justice, When France had tasted the blessings of liberty she ardently desired that all men be as Yappy as she was. In her master passion, pure as heaven and deep as life ytself, France threw her arms around the neck of Humanity and loved it as she loved her own self. * It was that magnificent altruism that charmed men and that will con- tinue to charm them while the nobler sentiments hold their place in human hearts. When those Frenchmen made the welkin ring with their ery of “Lib- tty, Fraternity, Equality” they were deeply sincere and they meant it for all the world. The critics have had lots of fun with that same “Liberty, Fraternity, | Equality,” but he laughs best who laughs last, and the sequel is proving that the men who stormed the Bastile were saner than they were thought to be. Passing thelr immortal resolutions, they cast them to the winds and the waves, and to-day, a century and a half after the event, the spirit of those same resolutions has become the master sentiment of practically all the peoples of the earth. With Prussianism out of the way, we are about to begin the last lap ia the great readjustment that began with the fall of the Bastile, and the world over it 1s being felt that all mon are equally entitled to themselves, ag against their would be exploiters, that all men are equal before the law and in the fleld «{ opportunity, that all men are members of one and the ame family, and that we should act toward one another as brothers rather than as enemies These ideas and sentiments have come to stay, and the man or com- dination of men who would stand in their way is doomed to defeat. Of every type of tyranny the day is about over, There will be con- fusion, just as there was in France, but the delirium wiii sooner or later pass aw leaving the true and the right to humanity as an eternal possession, What I have said may help to account for our deep and affectionate interest in France and Frenchmen. ——$_$_—_—_—_—_ Advice to Lovers By Betty Vincent OW can I tell if she loves{You see they all know that 1 throw “cc w t ‘ 1 me?” Repeatedly young] DOs over to her desk and that she men write tome of the girl! advice ust a Iuindly give me some a us lam greatly in love.” of their choice, whom they have] it seems clear that the young lady's kaown for rionths or years and have} [rains toward you are deliberately “the g about + although I doubt if she ho Geoided ts indeed “the girl,” but abOUL” Known you long enough an wal whose feelings toward themselves they linger in perpetual doubt.

W. On the 18th he transformed @ two-seater into a torch, but too far way for It to be made official. Then he was obliged to have his machine repaired and resumed action on his old Spad, On the 20th he achieved his fifty- third victory, the last oMetal triumph, an aerial duel and had to come down again quickly, Another flight, and more annoyances, His ill-luck would not be conquered, to all appearances. On the next day, that he might triumph over that which would not yield, that he might try his luck to the very extremity, he appealed to death itself, On Sept, 11, 1917, notwithstanding the bad weather, Guynemer started on a cruise with 2d Lieut, Verduras. After furrowing space for a long time without success, for atmospheric con- ditions kept the Boches on the earth, the two pilots at last saw a two- seater which appeared to be lost in the clouds. The hero darted forward, attacked, his gun missed fire, He manoeuvred for position again with- out even trying to dodge the answer- ing fire, #0 sure was he of himself in dealing with that young fry. What was a single two-seater to him? It return to us, The most impossible rumors were spread, No one could suppose that the great slayer of Boches could possibly have been sub- Jected to the same lot which he had imposed upon more than a hundred of his enemies, Guynemer? Kvery one deemed him invulnerable; no one had any idea that he could be killed, But many long days afterward came the news from a German source, We could no lortger doubt it, ‘The Ace of Aces had been beaten down near the cemetery of Poolcapelle, | Two seldiers had been present at the place of the catastrophhe, One wing of the Spad had been broken.
