The prospectus is issued of a new company, which,
under the title of the" Calm* Militaire des Enfants,"
has been organised in France, for exonerating from
the military service by insurance before the drawing
of lots for the recruitment. The capital is fixed at
3,000,000 f., or 120,000/. in shares, to bearer, of 41.
and 201. each, on which it is only proposed to call
up one-fifth. The formation of this company is en-
couraged, it appears, by the recent suppression of the
trade in substitutes in France. The promoters put
forward a calculation from which they deduce the
inference that the operations of the proposed company
will prove highly remunerative.
