NAPOLEON WAS RUDE
LONDON. Sept. 10. “When Napoleon called us a nation of shopkeepers,”. said Mr. John Drinkwater, the dramatist and poet, lecturing at, Leyton, “he merely intended to he rude. No more unfounded charge was ever made. Britain’s whole History’ was built up by a nation whose men and women cherish life’s finer things. That's the secret of British greatness.”
