Difficult as it is for Renée to understand these monomaniacs, her trials are increased when her husband deserts in an effort to rejoin her. Just why Captain Pierre chooses this difficult way of getting back to France. Author Hutchinson does not make clear, but the trip involves disguising himself as a monk, a corpse, a laborer. By the time Pierre reaches France the Germans are advancing. He joins the army, deserts again when near his home, is arrested, recognized by a brother officer, released, swept up in the retreat, reaches Renée just ahead of the German...

He appeared to feel that only by rewriting the Treaty to suit Germany could that country be induced to rejoin the League.

P., opposed Britain's current $1,500,000,000 rush to increase her armament (TIME, Nov.11), a rush so precipitous that last week the Admiralty besought sailors who have been pensioned off to rejoin the colors immediately. Yapped "Red Willie": "A strong Britain under the present Government would be a menace to Civilization!"
