Never having spoken at Harvard before, he looks forward to the visit among his several friends in the University is Professor Ford, whom he has not seen for some time.

Fears Mussolini

In a recent lecture Dimnet characterized Mussolini as the Napoleonic type and branded him as dangerous. He sees war impending between France and Italy. "Mussolini," he says, "is eager to expand Italy in order to get colonies. I look for a war with Italy in two years. Had Italy the finances now. Mussolini would bring about the war."

In Boston two weeks ago Dimnet recalled the fact that 11 years before he had given his first American lecture at the Lowell Institute. "I will always be grateful," he said, "to President Lowell for introducing me to Boston. I have never found Boston cold."

The abbe has spoken this season in California. Texas, and in the East. Two weeks ago he lectured at Yale, where he was enthusiastically received.
