regard to the wearing Of moustaches
are not the first Of the kind; for as

hoist them into points, while later
in the same year, the privilege Of
letting the hair grow on the upper

A few years later all the cavalry,
except the dragons, were allowed
to wear moustaches; and in 1922

all infantry soldiers and to officers in
all branches Of the service. The
last regulation upon the subject
touching the army was that of Mar
shall Soult, who in 1882 made the
wearing Of the moustache compul-
sorry. The growth Of the moustache
has always been prohibited in the
French Navy upon sanitary grounds,
as the saline emanations would, in
the opinion Of naval doctors, adhere
to the hair and cause the skin to

ground that the plaintiff did not des-
cribe himself by his, real surname,
which was Bonaparte, and called
himself Napoleon. This, he argued,
was deliberate, calculated mispri-

Importance which did not belong to
him, to insinuate that he had po-
