BUNTHORNE A PACIFIST ?
THE SENTIMENTAL FASSION CON-
SIDEREDHIN WAR TIMES
Shortly after the performance of Pa-
tience by the Glee Club, the following no-
tice appeared in a daily paper entitled,
“The Vegetable Fassion”. Bunthorne’s
satire is turned to a use probably not
intended by the author.
“The main advance of the pacifist forces
upon Washington is thus announced in a
headline: ‘1000 Pacifists Bearing Tulips
Go Crusading’ The tulip is ‘The Hague’s
white flower of peace’. An inspiring sight,
surely, at a time of national crisis. The
mind instantly reverts to Bunthorne’s
creed:
Then a sentimental passion of a vegetable
fashion should excite your languid
spleen.
An affection A la Plato for a bashful young
potato or a not-too-French French
bean! :
Though the Philistines may jostle, you
will rank as an apostle in the high
gesthetic band.
If you walk down Piccadilly with a poppy
or a lily in your medieval hand.
And every one will say
As you walk your flowery way,
‘If he’s content with a vegetable love
which would certainly not suit me,
Why, what a most particular pure young
man this pure young man must be’!
Tulips and twaddle! Heaven send us
men”!

MME. BIELER TRACES GROWTH OF Tv
_ FRENCH SPIRIT uP TO TO-DAY
That of a Woman.
To “a fair, intelligent, captivating
woman” who has at last found herself,
Madame Charles Biéler likened France
when she spoke last Friday evening in
Taylor .on “The Soul of France”. From
the dawn of history down to the present
war, Madame Biéler traced the develop-
ment of the nation’s human qualities.
“In the old forests of Gaul”, she said,
“Baby France was born”. In a little while
her life became better organized and she
moved into a feudal chateau. Presently,
realizing the rudeness of her life she
turned her chateau into a dwelling of the
Renaissance. Starving her people to in-
crease her allowance she followed the ad-
vice of her ministers, “une foi, une loi, un
roi”,
August, 1914, Brings Salvation
“In 1870”, continued Madame Biéler,
“France, a practical, scheming woman,
was shaken to the depths by the declara-
tion of the Franco-Prussian war. Pa-
triotism became a mere superstition, sci-
ence shook men’s faith in religion. From
this nightmare France awoke at the be-
ginning of the twentieth century and for
a few years enjoyed renewed health and
vigour until on the second of August,
1914, the war cloud once more overshad-
owed her. Then, confident, strong, united,
her sons shouldered arms and marched
to the front, while their nation, tem-
pered by years of trial, suffers and waits
in patience, assured that success will
come, And thus, we hope, France is sav-
ing her soul”,
Madame Biéler, who has four of her
own sons and two adopted boys now fight-
ing for France, then told of the work her
sister has done, first in reuniting refugee
families separated in the flight to Paris,
and now in the care of the wounded
“poilus”’.
