 durance, and certified to be medically | fit A majority must be trained in first aid and hold a certificate of the St.

 APOSTLE OF PEACE

Paris, March 25.-(Speeian-Jean Jaures, who has been advocating better relations between France and Germany, is a noted apostle of international peace; but in spite of the fact that he hates physcal pain, he can be very cutting with his tongue. Some time ago he visited the war office at Paris with a friend, He was a severe opponent of the war minister s methods. In the vestibule Jaures' com panion paused and pointed deightedly to q reproduction of the famous statue, The Victory of Samothrace." That is an un- fortunate statute for our war office" said the friend. although unfortunately it is somewhat mntilated.'
