The lands over which the battles were fought are those over whien Caesar's legions moved, and since the beginning of the Christian • era innumerable battles, meetings, marches, and episodes of importance have taken place on the same ground. Among others, three familiar writers —Stevenson, Duffles and Scott— • have made this region, through which the Somme, the Sambre, the Oise and m other neighboring streas flow, not- able in the annals of literature. Stevenson traveled throtigh this part of France in 1876, in company With his 'friend, Sir Walter GrindlaY Simpson, and he published an ac- count of his„ trip two years later, call- ed "An Inland Voyage," Stevenson end his companion traveled by water, partly in canoes, partly in a barge. Startihg rrom Beiglum, tney came to Maubeuge, on the River Sambre, a town often mentioned in tbe war de- spatches of 1914. There, as Stever. - son chronicles, his friend "was near- ly taken up upon a charge of which he was hopelessly incapable." Thence they passed along the Sam- bre by various small towns. Froni Landrecies runs a canal connecting the Sambre with the Oise river, al- though Stevenson and his eriends conveyed their canoes by cart to the latter river, This; when they reached it, was in fidod, and Stevenson de- scribes how "from Vadencourt all the way to Origny it ran with ever - quickening speed, taking fresh heart at each mile, and racing as though It already smelled the sea." He be- came very fond, he tells us, of this picturesque stream; and he com- ments: "After a good weinan, and a good book, and tobacco, there is noth- ing so agreeable on earth as a river." At Moy (pronounced by the natives as two syllables, says Stevenson) on the Oise, almost opposite La Pere of the present-day despatehes, he found a pleasant little village, "gathered round a chateau in a moat. The air was perfumed with hemp from neigh- boring fields." All manner of knick- knacks embellished the public room of the inn, At La Fere itself Steven- son and Simpson received a harsh welcome. Coming In out Of a beavy rain they looked altogether too much like tramps and were forcibly ejected from the cheelry inn Of the place, whose glories had given them anti- cipatory corafort for many hours pre- vious. At that time La Pere was a - fortified town, 'with twO belts of ram- part, and the place was full of mili- tary reserves out for the French autumn manoeuvres. When Stevenson and Simpson left La Fere they passed into the heart of the regien now being recovered from German devastation:. and In 1876 the land was one of remarkable beauty. Stevenson, indeed, says thee the region below Le Fere on the Oise was called "the Golden Valley," and he pictureit as "open pastoral coun- try, green, opulent, loved her breed - ors.

What probably has inane:aced the - British authorities more than any- thing else is the invidious position it has placed British officers in compari- son with American officers. When there were only a few Americans over in London it did not matter, but for sotne weeks past American Officers have been dancing every evening at Murray's—the popular London night club, controlled by Jack May, the Anglo-American host of Many similar clubs—and the British officer has uat- urally felt it hard luck that he should not be allowed to do what his American, French, Belgian and Italian 'comrades were permitted. to do. It had even been suggested to the Americans that they should refrain from dancing, but this did not meet with approval. Also the American authorities strongly supported the efforts which had been made to rescind the Order affecting British officers. Now naval, army and air service officers have been permitted to dance at Murray's Club, Sir Preside Lloyd having informed Jack May that he proposed to rescind this disciplinary regulation which pro- hibited offieers going to "any dancing or other night club in uniform," For some time past it had been evident that this order would be reecinded.

The college president paid little at- tention to his sister. He was divided between steering it straight course be- tween the rats in the bad road that led from bis house to the hall, and re- hearsing to himself the words of his introductory speech.' • When the famous actress sat, stett- ing aud beautiful, on the platform, no one world have guessed that-ber de- parture from the city had been fraught with interruptions and distractions. She did not have to rehearse her speech, for it was the identical speech that had beefl given on ell previous occasions of the sort and she knew it by heart. "I'd know her anywhere by her bair," `whispered someone on the &storm seats. "Well, at least she is decently dressed," conceded the president' sis- ter to the professor's wife beside her, and then there was a hush as the president stepped forth to introdtce the great actreee.
