Out of every twenty Frenchmen six or seven are actually under arms or engaged in manufacturing munitions. Beven Out of Twenty Males Engaged in War Duty. The Bulletin of the Armies of the Republic, which is sent to all French soldiers at the front, published reâ€" cently a page of statistics showing how the whole of the French nation actually takes part in the war. }'ho Queen chatted with the soldiers or a few minutes and promised to gend their families sizned copies of the photographs she had just taken. While in one of the secondâ€"line trenches the Queen expressed the deâ€" sire to photograph the soldiers, and they were ranged before her. Some of them who had been asleeip in their dugâ€"outs asked for time to give themâ€" selves a " wash and brushâ€"up," but her Majesty said : "No, no! You look more picturesque the way you are." They were taken as they stood. After examining frontâ€"line positions the King and Queen passed in review of infantry and sailors, who were deâ€" lighted to see the royal couple, esâ€" pecially the Queen, who displayed on her jacket the French War Cross aâ€" warded her by President Poincare for bravery at the front. Belgian Royal Couple Pay Frequent Visits to French Trenches. The soldiers on the French front are cheered by frequent visits of the Kirtg and the Queen of the Belgians. On their last visit King Albert was in a general‘s uniform of khaki and Queen Elizabeth looked charming in a smart, tailorâ€"made suit of the same hue. Instead of the usual toque, she wore a Belgian soldier‘s steel helmet as a protection from stray bullets. It‘s all worth while, I find, Each burden that I bear ; The tears that come to blind, The dreary hours of care Depress me for a time, Then splendid joys appear And life becomes sublime And I am glad I‘m here. There have been times I thought The end of joy had come, That all in vain I‘d wrought, And sick at heart and glum I‘ve heard the robin‘s song, The baby‘s prattlir(z voice, And that I‘ve lived along To hear them I rejoice. THIRD OF FRENCH SERVE. There‘s somethin every day Or so it seems to me That truthfully I say I‘m glad I‘ve lived to see.

With all its cares and woes, Its disappointments grim And all the grief it knows, The hopes, far off and dim, With all its bickerings small, Its hours of hateful strife, There‘s something after all That makes a joy of life. The automobile represents a phase of citizenship; its owner is registeres, numbered, tagged.
