  • The France of Today
    By Major General A. W. Greely, U.S. Army, with 26 Illustrations.
    The author’s early feeling that France might be little more than an aggregation of fanatics is altered by a months-long opportunity to get to know its people and everyday life. In truth, he says, this country is home to an admirable and intelligent people who are in the process of developing enlightened social legislation. Related Subjects: Brittany, France; France.
