TWENTY VICTIMS

DARIS, France. May 1-Absinthe
has gone for good and all. but
morphia and cocaine are still at
their somber work here. A few days
ago appeared in the Paris courts a
curious criminal. with whose name the
police are familiar. Henri Jarzuel, a
man Of some education. and once OF
some position. who now. himself a
cocaine maniac. makes his living by
supplying the drug TO his prOselytes-
Among those whom he this supplied
was a soldier. who. under the influence
Of cocaine, had deserted. or rather per
haps, had forgotten to return to his
regiment. The court did not uphold
this second more serious Indictment
Of having connived at deseruOn-but il
sentenced .JarZuel to a heavy fine and
two months Imprisonment for the sale
Of poisonous substances.
Makes Curious Defence.
There were curious passages in the
defence Of the accused who notably.
delivered a panegyric Of cocaine.

London. Eng May Prince Leo
pold, Of Battenberg. the second son Of
princess Henry. Of Battenberg, has just
been given an appointment upon the
headquarters staff. and it is expected
that he will leave for the front almost
Immediately.
This will bring up the number Of

others are the prince Of Wales, prince
Albert, prince Arthur Of COnnaught,
prince Alexander of Teck, prince Alex
ander OF Battenberg, and the two
young sons of prince Louis of Batten

fleet
The duke of Teck is at present recu-
perating in the south of France from a
rather severe illness CONTRACTED while
at the front. while prince Maurice Of
Battenberg was killed in October last.
Thus no fewer than Il relatives Of
king George have so far taken part in
the war, and this might be brought 10

gents.

OF PEOPLE IN ARMS

r AUSANNE, Switzerland, Nay l.
The German army authorities
have now called out not only all
their reserves who have done military
services but also all men up to the age
Of 81, who had, for one reason or an
other, been exempt and who had never
done service.
Two officials are present at the ex-
animation Of the men. There is a doc
tor who examined the man as to his
fitness physically, and an army off
Ger, who decides for what branch Of
the service, horse, foot, or. artillery the
man is fitted.
Many Are For '.Etapen" Service.
Many of these men are taken chiefly
for the 'Etapen" service. that is to say,
for transport, camps. communications.
or base services. Other men Of the
Landsturm, who are more fit had done
military service, are instead moved
further to the front or sent to the ac-
tual fighting line.
It is estimated that Germany has
more than 10 per cent Of its entire
population under arms. Here is a con-
crete example a large village in
Baden 1t consists Of $500 inhabitants
and out Of these $50 men have been
drafted into the army. Out of the $50.
30 have been reported officially as
killed. Of course, II this percentage
were general it would mean that Ger

than is generally admitted 1t would
turn out at more than 20 per cent Of
the total population Therefore. this
particular village in Baden may be re-
garded as an exception.

As an example of the fields TO which

cisiOn Of the municipal corporation Of
Strasburg, which under its military
governor has resolved to devote all its
hitherto uncultivated or spare munich
pal lands or communal ground to agri-
culture.
Even the railway company has been
encouraged, to, hand over for cultiva-
ton all its idle lands or patches OF
ground along its lines. If enough
