delivered in St Monday night points out America's path of honor It may not come to a matter of war but even war ia not always to be avoided if peaceable fail No nation can to prosper that doet not respect Itself and is not respected by others A true American patriotism will demand for the country nothing that is unjust but it will not assist a strong chy against a weak republic and it will most assuredly not submit to any claims of pretentious superiority and endure wrong or submit to menace be- cause peace may thus prevail Nor will peace be thus secured Where there is no resistance the aggressor is invited to still greater demands and the most abject must at least resort to force to prevent destruction The path to peace is the path to honor and the best guaranty of a nation's safety

town as well as because its city hall contains the tomb of Charles the impetuous and haughty prince whose life was so filled with adventure and romance In tion the city possesses a church that should be more celebrated than it is for in all our church seeing we have not inspected a building so bedecked with hideous carved gargoyles It was Sunday at Dijon and the people spending the day as in rural France The churches were open and a few persons were going in and out But every shop stood with doors wide ajar and restaurants and wine places were doing a thriving trade At the railway station people were buying tickets for the country among them them scores of sportsmen with ing costumes gun and dogs going for a day's shooting There was at the town's park a great bicycle ment i n which

chinery and each hay has its villages n f luniks clinging to the rock-side on the narrow shore the road was cut out of the side of the cliff and was like a long arcade with pillars of living rock on the side next the sea Again it went completely under the ground for a short distance The views landward when we could see up some valley were likewise of surpassing loveliness for clear streams lowed down between high wooded banks that rose steeply at first then developed into wide uplands sprinkled with white las and covered with trees And in the distance white topped peaks glistening with snow Often too we descended to a wider coast where a valley opened on the sea Here we slipped easily over plains that were veritable gardens All sorts of vegetables grew riotously white acres of cultivated flowers were in bloom and these things were again diversified by groves of orange lemon olive and fig trees all laden with fruit On the highest part of the road arc solid ing forts while here and
