Abstract
SUGGESTIONS have recently been made that certain of our scientific societies should suspend their meetings for the present, on the ground that “it is difficult to take an interest in such things just now.” To those who share this feeling, it may be worth while to point out that, as already recorded in NATURE, the Académie des Sciences held its usual meeting Paris on September 7. Under that very date, in the Times review of the war for September, we find the entry, “Germans reach the extreme point of their advance.” Among our gallant Allies, at all events, “le tour d'ivoire ne se rend pas.”
