Let Us Honor FranceOn July 4, 1776, a handful of American colonists declared themselves

five and independent and prepared to fight to make their words good.ffhey finally achieved their liberty—thanks to the help of French troops and(trench naval vessels.

bh The shots fired in that war for freedom were heard around the world.Everywhere men were set thinking. Everywhere men wondered whetherkings really ruled hy divine right. . .

The fruit of that thought was made visible to all the world when on July14,1789, the French people stormed, captured and tore down the Bastile, thehideous prison fortress into which those who made themselves obnoxious tothe king, were thrown for long months and even years of captivity.

The Bastile represented to the French a tyranny they had long en-sured. Its every cell had been bathed with the tears of innocent men endSvoinen, many of whom had never emerged from its gloomy walls alive. I.feverv floor could tell tales of hrutalitv, of cruelty, of hideous deeds done inthe (lai k.

The work, begun then, led to the scaffold Louis XVIof the proud house.whose arrogant saying was: "The .statef T. am the state."

The revolution set in motion hy the fall of the Hastile set the wholeworld by the ears. Its echoes were heard for decades. Out of it came thefearful times of "the terror," the wonderful epoch of Napoleon, the restora-tion of the little kings, the fall of Napoleon 111 in 1870, when France, too,seemed to have fallen.

But after the German conquerors had taken tlieir toll of French indem-nity money, the wheel of the revolution had come full circle, the work wasjnaed, and the real repuhlic was at last established with its great motto of"Liberty, Equality, Fraternity."

• So July 14 is France's Fourth of July. Having just celebrated our ownIndependence day, what more fitting than that we Americans give' honor toFrench liberty?

American celebration of this day, Bastile day, is a visible and beautifuland touching evidence of the imity that has existed between the two greateister republics. It gives us a chan-re to show our love for generous Francei—the chivalrous nation that has been in the forefront of civilization, everready to do battle for liberty, for ideas, for truth.

In war-times we must not only enlist our men and our money, but alsoour emotions. And no country in the world can possibly have the straightappeal to the American heart that France inspires—France with whom wehave ever been on terms of peace and friendship; France which for threeterrible years has taught all the peoples of the earth how to bleed to death,ifneed be, for the sacred cause of human liberty; France, which has bornethe battering blows of the Huns without whimpering and without dream ofsurrender; France which has been ready to die, but never to quit.

Itwillbe a great day when we write it "ex-KaiserWilhelm"—and a better day for Germany, as well.

War weather: Fair (for the allies) and warmer (le enemy.)

Hands"Speaking of hands," observed Mr. Lately

Married. "My mother's wore beautiful."In reply his young wife maintained the

silence of discretion. She had met that motheronly a short time before her death, but of herhands young wife had a distance recollection.

She knew they were knarled at the joints,puffy and discolored with swollen veins showingthrough the wrinkly skin, finger tips blunted,nails ragged. And young wife wondered to her-self how anyone could fancy those hands beauti-ful.

Yet Mr. Lately Married was right. His moth-er's hands wer indeed beautiful, so beautifulthat, to those who understood, their ugliness wentunseen.

Days by the thousands those same worn hands

Ihad been soft enough to smooth table-cloths orpillow-cases or hot cheeks. They knew howthru dexterity to remedy what awkwardness hadbungled. To a million wants they had ministeredand to two million whims, doing the apparenttask always, forever finding work where none\u25a0was commanded. They had fashioned materialthings into essences of the spirit.

There is a loveliness of the hand that the mani-curist wots not of. Mother hands often possessit. But it's just as likely to be discovered in thomit of gruff-spoken farmers, storekeepers, me-chanics.

There is service.

10.1 "Bust Out."ANNAPOLIS, Md., July 14.—

Capt. E. W. Bherle, superintend-

ent of the I'nited States naval aca-demy here, sent 730 midshipmen—future naval officers —to ecuthe other day to get some practicalexperience.

Today they're scattered anion:;

la score or more of battleships, tor-I pedo boat destroyers and cruisers, |

shoveling coal, swabbing decks,

practicing with the guns and do-ing exactly what thousands of en-

| listed men are doing.It's an illustration of the '"new

democracy" that prevades theAmerican navy. .

I'ull lloesn't Work."The first essential in turning

out a good officer Is to instill inhim an appreciation of the serv-

ices of the men who will he un-der him," said Capt. Eberle.

So, carrying out ("apt. Bberle'stheories of democracy, the mid-shipmen this summer will acquire,first handed, accurate knowledge

as to just how hard it is to keepthe furnaces aboard ship suppliedwitii coal or just how muchmuscle It takes to keep the shipspick and span.

There's no royal roadthrough the naval academy.

' 'I hope you don't think I am a rotter, Miss Newton,' said Illslordship earnestly.

" 'Of course, she doesn't,' interrupted Gerry quickly. 'It willtake her a little time to get adjusted to the differences in the pointof view you Knglishinen of good family have as compared to ours.'

"We were sitting in the Nassau dining room at Long Beach, Mar-gie,"' said Paula, "and I was sitting where I could look out across thehoard walk and (see the ocean throwing its waves in incandescentkisses back to the sun. Truly it was taking me a little time to getadjusted. The idea of marrying for mouey is so repugnant to'ourAmerican minds 1 could hardly fit it to the splendidly clean-mindedand good-looking Englishman who was facing me across the table.

' 'You see, Paula,' said Gerry, 'after all, In England and othercountries where there are titles to be looked after, the family comesfirst and the head of the family cannot always marry the one heloves most. Beauty is in line for the earldom, but then he will bequite as poor as he Is now, for the old earl has run through every-thing except what Is strictly entailed.

" Poor Beauty doesn't know how to work and he was broughtup with the idea that It was just as easy to fall in love with a richgirl as a poor one. His family got enough money together to sendhim over here where he knew mother and Gertrude and me. Weput on so much dog in England that everyone thought we were Inthe millionaire class, and he had been rather taken with Gertrude,so lie came over and proposed, was accepted, and then by some fiend-ish prank of cnpid's we fell In love with each other just as he foundout neither of us girls would have any money.

' '.Mother suspects how matters stand, and she is furious withme, but if 1 just had money enough I'd run off with Beauty tomor-row.'

" 1 have been trying to persuade her to run off anyhow, Paula,"said Lord Beauclough.

"When he said that I absolved liim from any contempt I mighthave held for him. 'Witt don't you, Gerry?' I asked.

" 'And spoil his political chances? Well, I guess not. I thinktoo much of him for that.'

• 'I wouldn't make a bally success In parliament, Gerry, unlessyou were with me to tell what to do.'

" Yes, you would, and I'm going to get you married to therichest girl in New York -Although it will break my heart to do It.*His lordship said nothing, but I could see the richest girl in NewYork would not have much chance beside Gerry.

' What will you do about Gertrude?' I asked."For the first time I noticed a cloud on Gerry's face. Gertrude

doesn't care a straw for Beauty—she just wants the title. When IgoI home today I'm going to tell mother Beauty is in love with me and(she ought to lie satisfied if she gets the title in the family. ThenI'll look around and find the richest girl.'

" I have already found her,' said Lord Beauclough quietly."Gerry turned pale. 'Who is she?'" 'Her name is Gerry,' he answered, solemnly, 'and she Is so rich

in brains and beauty I cannot understand why she bothers with apoor stick like me.'

' I guess it is because I want to see what I can do witli you,"said Gerry with a laugh.

' You can do anything you want with me, dear girl,' said hislordship, and I, taking the cue, left them and strolled out, on theboard walk.

' 'Isn't It a queer old world?' I said to myself. 'Here is thatnice Englishman wanting to marry Gerry, and Gertrude wanting tomarry bint, and Jeff wanting to marry me, and I not wanting tomarry anyone.'

Then, Margie, my thoughts went wandering and I wonderedwhere Jeff was. I had not heard a word from him since he reachedthe oilier side I contrasted" him with Lord Beauclough and I promiseyou the grocer hoy did not lose In comparison with the 'belted earl."

"I think If Jeff had been there that minute, Margie, I wouldhave »"

-\u25a0—'—' him. i was tired and lonely."(To He «Ontlnued.)
