POWER French Are Ready to Go Into Battle Shoulder to Shoulder with Americans Frenchman Says The oft-repeated expression in the American press that France is on the verge of exhaustian is u'ntrue and she is now at the zenith of her power ready to fight on and hold back the Hun until America's armies are in the field, declared the Marquis de Polig nac, a member of the French high commission 'to the United States,' in an address before the mass meeting at the Hibernian Hall last night. M. de Polignac spoke of France and her affiliations with America, while his distinguished compatriot, the Mar quis de Courtrivon, an officer of the French army and a veteran of the Marne and Verdun, made an address on "France in Arms."

France Not bled White France is not bled white in spite of her four years of terrible warfare, declared the Marquis d Polignac. She is, on the other hand, 14t the top of her power but she cannot always re main there. She can, however, with stand the attack of the German hordes and hold back the tide of bar barism until such time as America's armies take their places side by side with the French in the battlefields of Europe, the Marquis said. The heart of France was full. M. de Polignac continued, when the first American contingent arrived to take, their stand beside the French in the battle against autocracy. They knew in France that America, the most gen erous nation in the world, could not long stand by and endure the acts of the vandal Hun. "Thou Shalt Not Pass" But Germany is still unbeaten. Her great military machine is still intact. France has concentrated all her ener gies toward the saving of the nation, and when American troops take up the fight they will find the French ready to stand shoulder to shoulder and to say to Germany: "Thou shalt not pass.".(prolonged applause).

E COMPAI touched gn the acts of Lafayette that furnished the common bond between America and France, that made them allies now because they were allies be fore. Clad in the blue-gray uniform of the French army, with a medal pinned over his left breast, the Marquis de Courtrivon presented a striking ap pearance as he stood before the audi ence. He began by comparing the re-. sources of France at the outbreak of war in August, 1914, with those of to day. He told of how France plunged into a war that she did not want, was unprepared for an offensive cam paign. How she had but 100 airplanes and but two machine guns to four companies of infantry. Today, he declared, she has over 3,000 airplanes, and her supply of ma chine guns has been greatly increased. Then graphically, the Marquis told hcw every industry of France had been concentrated to the making of ammunition nad supplies, until today she could meet flame with flame, gas with gas, and poison with poison. From the first battles in Belgium to the present day, he said, France has had but one thought-to show the Germans that a free-born people could never be conquered by a Slavish machine supporting the ideals of au tocracy.

Joffre is sued an order- that the retreat was over and that here the French army would hold the Teutons without giv ing an inch, or die." "And we did," declared the speaker, "only we did not die." He tol. how the German emperor ordered his troops that it was his ex press will that they should on his birthday enter Verdun. "And it was our express will that they should nev er enter Verdun," continued the Mar quis, "and they never did." The speaker doncluded with the words that France was not yet con quered, and not yet exhausted, and was still able to fight on and on to a glorious victory. CLEAN UP GARDEN TRASH Burn Weeds and Rubbish That May Harbor Insects Over Winter Throughout the United States are plots of ground cultivated last spring and summer as temporary war gar dens. Where these plots were suitably located, with due attention to sun light, abundant crops of vegetables, especially for family use, have been produced, but quite too frequently such plots have become generally ne glected, with the result that much ma terial in the form of crop remnants and rank weeds wil Iremain through the winter, favoring during the au tumn the continued multiplication of certain forms of insect pests, and dur ing the winter a safe harbor for the insects to pass the colder months. Next spring these insects will re-ap pear, and if the same plots are select ed for planting there is grave danger of serious injury, particularly soon af ter planting. The methods employed in commer cial truck gardens and farms to pre vent the wintering-over of insects in the field should be pnt into practice in the case of the war or "back-yard" garden. Entomologists of thq United States Department of Agriculturj ad vise that as soon as a crop has been harvested the remnants should be promptly cleared away and burned with the insects which they harbor. Tfhe same appllies; to weeds, including grasses wvhich spring up between the rows. Rubbish of all kindls should be carefully collected and dlestroyedl in the same manner that no shelter be left for the insects (luring the winter.
