The Greetings of France No discerning reader has failed to notice the warm greeting accorded President Wilson by the dignitaries of France and the appreciation voiced for America's part in the war. The ceremonial speeches are filled with the same exalted sentiment that marked the addresses which French generals made to their armies in the dark hours of the conflict. One is carried away by the felicity of expression and the tact and moderation of the utterance. "The ceremonial speeches made by the president of the Paris Municipal Council, for example," fcays the .New York Times, "his little address, a jewel of well-bred compliment to Mrs. Wilson, without excess, worthy of inheritors of the old Greek, 'nothing too much,' might have been written by the Academy itself. Their felicity of phrase, their urbanity of.sjyle, their calmness of recital in dealing with wrongs unforgiveable and irremediable, .their sobriety of judgment, their cogent, manly way of speaking of the inhuman wrongs done to France; their thought, suffused, but not made undignified, by the memory of outrages unworthy of cannibals the tact, the delicacy, the sense of the actual, the just but not excessive concession to emotion, the remembrance of a great history and tradition, all France, from the Oath of Verdun and the Song of Roland to the Tiger, are there. "The sense of civic and national dignity, the unconscious survival of noble examples, the distinction of expression and of demeanor all France, the France in which nothing that is not

clear is not French,' are there. He misses much who doesn't read carefully the speeches of M. Mithouard, President of the Municipal Council of Paris. Yet, it is just to say that he who has not read the speeches of Mr. Wilson in Paris has missed much more. Their sobriety, their logic, their interpretation of thought and emotion, suggested or expressed with restraint, their clearness, sagacity, and good form, their perfection of taste, allied with great, generous sentiments, not exhibited but indicated this was French and American. It was the taste of the-Academy and the feeling of a nation."

Highway Improvement as a National Issue From the Chicago News. IN NATIONAL convention in Chicago highway officials from all parts of the United States have approved the extension of federal aid to the states in order that a national system of good roads may he constructed. Road building in this country has gone beyond a local or state issue. While it has been nominally recognized as in the nature of a national issue for several years by reason of the financial assistance accorded the states by the national government, further development In this general direction may be expected through legislation now pending. And while local and state road improvement will continue, of course, progress demands a broadening national policy on the subject. For one thing, motor trucking has definitely overstepped state lines. All last winter motor trucks were operated regularly between Detroit and Washington and between other cities, crossing state lines. Well built and well kept roads are necessary to further this economic benefit. Motoring long distances for pleasure has also grown greatly in volume and Is Btill growing. Many persons travel thousands of miles in this fashion. Improved and extended highways, more easily and rapidly built than railroad extensions, must supplement

the railroads more and more in long distance journeying and in interstate transportation of commodities. The immediate future will be an especially opportune lime for national highway development. American engineers, who have been abroad In great numbers, will shortly return with invaluable training in modern road construction. Machinery provided by the national government for road work abroad will be available. The nation has learned to address itself intensively to important mattera of immediate concern. Road construction would afford a ready and excellent method of preventing a serious condition of unemployment when the soldiers return to their homes.

A lawsuit was in full swing and during its progress a witness was being cross-examined as to the habits and character of the defendant. ."Has Mr. M a reputation for being abnormaly lazy?" asked counsel briskly.

v "Well, sir, it's this way " "Will you kindly answer the question asked?" struck In the irascible lawyer. "Well, sir, I was going to say it's this way. I don't want to do the gentleman in question any injustice. And T"won't go so far as to say, sir, that he IS exactly lazy; but If It required any voluntary work on his part to digest his food why he would die from lack of nourishment, sir!"

The guard went on as ordered and reepated, "Corporal of the guard. No. 8, cut out the post."

"Tight Skirts and Small Hats Are Horse Show Styles," says a headline. To the unregenerate who do not attend such functions, we would say that the tight skirts and small hats are not worn by the horses. A horse show is an entertainment gotten up for the benefit of the horses once a year so they can see how society dresses.

A local paper says that, compared with a few years ago, there is Very little purse-snatching reported to the police these days. The snatchers have found that their trade has been a pure waste of time since the war started.

One thing about it is that the farmers in northern France won't have to buy any barbed wire for quite a spell. No longer does the charming waitress ask us, "Rare, medium or well done?" Roast beef is rare everywhere nowadays.
