He was, at the time of his death
a director In the Southern Mutual

Bank of Athens and the Athens

He was one of the best and most j

Prefacing his central theme with
a brief review of France before the
war, he impressively stated that
France is not a nation of material *
istic aims, but that she is of an
Intellectual temperament. Her
middle class, he said in substance,
ai*e being drawn upon as never be
fore in the history of tho kingdom,
tho -empire, or the republic, to
furnish intelligent leadership in
the commercial, the literary and
the educational life of the nation.
This class, known to the French
man as the bourgeoisie, came in
for a tribute from the lips of tho
lecturer, and he passed on to the
peasant, whom, he said, formed
tho bulwark of the Blue army;

peared that the cuestiou would be
concluded by spreading the view
of the two governments on tho

with the possibility that to this
tvould be added a formal state

the question.
In. addition to the pledge of read

tho right to press further the un

Thursday promised two other con
cessions relating to the "demand"

adoption of Manchuria and East

be employed in these territories in

stopped the German when he was
knocking at the gates of Paris.
Turning his attention to the re
lations of France and the United
States and the rest of the’world,
nrq} particularly Trance’s role at
the Disarmament Conference, he
said that the people of France,
contrary to the belief of some of
oyr people, bore toward the youth
of the United States only feelings
of extreme cordiality. France’s at
titude at the conference in Wash
ington was due, he said, not to
any desire to be recluse in .her
position, but only because she
knew that on-hev depended the en
forcement of the payment of the
German reparations.
