Mr. llont said Hint the war had dona the I'nlted States this service It had taught tii to miow the real France, tho France that Ims always existed under her mantle of gayety. "Wo have always loved our sister re public.'' he said. "Out we have thought iif her as a land of enjoyment, buoyant, c tliulastio, living In tho lighter and less serious things of life. Wo did not bellevo that she had that rapacity to endure, that sterling determination which, events are proving, she docs to the full. We have been grate lu' to hur for tho aid she gave us In our time of trial, we have been glad lo so to her shores In our playtimes, but we never, till this war came, realty lt.ew her."

Democracy vs. Aulocract. "The veiy reason Oermany has seemed n have the upper hand In this war Is because It Is a war nf democracy and autocracy. Democracies aro slow of or ganisation; autocracies hao centuries of tradition behind them. Despotism and autocracy have come to the end of their development, while democracy Is at the beginning of Its evolution. Democracies organise slowly, freely, with free men. "The two great organizers are face to face llrland nnd the Kaiser. M. ilrland Is a son of the people : he Is self made. Democracy has selected him and opposes hla pleasant, though grave face to tho contracted and brutal phyalog nomy of the Kaiser. Ilrftuid Is the man of conciliation, of reasoning, of wisdom, of goodness. Ills will Is not crushing and aggressive, but calm, patient, firm. He Is the man who has learned good sense, altruism nnd right ideas of or ganization by constant Intercourse with the Classen who toll and produce. "Opposed to him we find the man of discord, violence the warrior of mysti cism, unbalanced, unjust. lie Is a Hohenzollern, that race of Princes whose Industry has ever been war. "The two brains of these men Incar nate the Ideas at war parallelism and antithesis. Hut this war Is not only a war of Ideas and Ideals It Is also a war of opisislng wills. Ideas do not snftlce to givo men the Impulsion to attack or the stamina to defend. So light Is de fending Itself against night, sacrifice against power, altruism against egoism."
