Nothing came as a great er shock to the Germans last year than the way in which their Kultur was everywhere derided. The com ments passed upon Germany for he strong belief in her own destiny, as represented by her Kultur caused more resentment than anything else that happened in the early days of the war. The German indignation at last changed to contempt as the idea grew that the world laughed at the Teutonic Kultur because the world had been left so far behind by German progress as to be able to un derstand the German point of view.

As Seen in France. 5 Days-Mon ving Prices-5 Days By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS. Paris, July 26."The great world war is one year old this, week. What has France accomplished?" I put this question to M. Jean Cruppi, ex-minister of Foreign Af fairs, member of the Chamber of Deputies and of the Foreign Relations commission, a man physically not very unlike Theodore Roosevelt. He replied: "France accomplished the defeat of the Germans in the battle of the Marue she stopped the German drive for Calais and the sea she has kept Germany nailed to the spot for ten long months, steadily reducing her by attrition she has done many Dress Goods We offer our entire stock of wool dress goods, including the product of the Laporte Woolen mills, at a discount of 20 per cent.

France to Fight to End. "Yes," he continued earnestly, "our word 'union' means something more than the harmony of our peo ple there is something of the sacred in it This sacred union will last. France is as one man with one idea: final success, cost what it may! The war, no doubt, will be long but the courage and patience of our people will be equal to the task of seeing it through." In short, perhaps, the greatest ac complishments to France's credit in the last twelve months is that she has found herself. To appreciate fully M. Cruppi's words one has but to glance back at the France of the years just preced ing the war France, the antithesis Bemidji, Minn. & 'mam 46 llpip I^K^jps? P!SI P? of Germany where collectively is the national passion France, the nation of the individual workers and think ers where ho two people could be ex pected to agree on any subject. In the Chamber of Deputies there are a score or more parties instead of two or three as is the case in the United States. The Dreyfus af fair split the nation into two hostile camps and each camp into others with varying opinions. The Cail laux case to some extent did the same thing. Talk Was Pessimistic. All manner of pessimistic talk was heard on cafe terraces and even in drawing rooms. A sad fate was in store for the land. Surely a revo1 lution was. coming. Another re storation was on the way, some said, while others declared a second Com mune could not be averted. Treason, it seemed, was on all sides and in high places among political leaders, so it was intimated, one was as bad as another, or worse if this were pos sible which it was not. The theater gave an impression that even French home life was rotten. The things one saw and heard in Paris gave one a rather gloomy feel ingthat is if he believes all he saw and heard. One got the idea that patriotism was a lost emotion in France. Germany undoubtedly had some such idea. She expected to find France unprepared and French op inion divided, a great national schism developing the moment there was se rious talk of war, or a revolution af ter the first success of the French arms. But what happened? The real France found herself. The nation's heart, so long hidden, was revealed, and to the last man France became a unit. As M.* Cruppi remarked, nothing has shaken this unity since. The moment the general mobiliza tion order was posted in France all clauses rallied to the tri-color. Gus tave Herve tried to enlist. Labor became a marvel of efficiency and patriotism. Anti-militarists boosted it, considering it against what they c. re againstmilitarism. Socialists became cabinet members, one now holding a position similar to that of Lloyd-George, minister of munitions in England. It was the "sacred union," one of France's greatest accomplishments. Instead of a revolt in the ranks, the troops dried the tears of wives, sweethearts and mothers with laugh ter and went their way to war sing ing. ABSTRACTS OF TITLE B. M.

"I was on the bridge where I could easily see the rescue work until we were chased away by the police, be lieving that there was danger of its falling. I then joined my brother, Bernard, formerly of this city, who is connected with the city's electric department. His badgcpermitted iis to go beyond the police line and we saw hundreds of bodies brought to shore and taken to the morgue in police patrols. Suffering Was Terrible. "Mothers and fathers, crying for lost children and begging to be allow ed to return to the boat, were made to enter automobiles in which they were taken to hospitals where their injuries were dressed. I regret that I saw the disaster for I will never forget the horror of it. The looks on the faces of the dead were terrible and the grief of those who had lost relatives heart-rending. "I saw Captain Pederson approach a workman and tell him to stop drill ing in tlie side of the boat in the rescue work. This act nearly cost Pederson his life for the mob would have attacked him had the police not interfered and his arrest followed. It was terrible and the entire city is in mourning. Hundreds of young girls, freed for a day from their tasks of making telephones and other elec trical apparatus, were drowned miser ably. The people demand that the government officials make an explana tion, if one is possible." "I understand that the inspectors went on the boat and ordered many to leave because of the large crowd," said Mr. Moore. "This is what caused the vessel to tip for hundreds, fear ing that they would miss the outing, rushed to the other side. Many were killed in jumping, their bodies being caught between the bottom of the boat and the dock."
