War at Close Range.

Margaret Deland, the New England novelist, writes from Paris: “Over in America we thought we knew something about the war and the conditions in France, but when you get here the difference is as the difference between studying the laws of electricity and being struck by lightning. I have b6en struck by lightning, °n!y way in which I can keep, sane and steady is to look very, very closely at my m Immediate little trivial, foolish job-writ-ing or working in the canteen—for if I dar? to lift my eyes to the black horizons, I lose my balance.”
