It is also desired to cultivate " neutral " friendship and to counteract in every possible way the German propaganda. The motto of the League's quarterly Revue (edited by lime. de la ZEoussaye) epigrammatically expresses its purpose : " Servir les nfltres; Gagner lee uteutres; Briser les Bolles."

It provides a pleasant meeting-place for members residing in or visiting Paris. The League includes many distinguished members, among others MM. Pierre Decourcelle, Pierre Loti, Take Jonescu, H. G. Wells, Colonel Robinson (President of the British Red Cross), Duchesse de Bohan, Ac., he., and its success has been so great that larger premises are now required, with lecture hall, library, laboratory, Ac.
