FIGHTING MEMS CHESTS.

London, May 15.-The war has giv- en great revival to heraldry, and the number of applications to that quaint old-world institution, the College of Arms, situated in the midst of modern London, for coats of arms and badges has increased considerably of late. The devices have almost invariably a naval or military significance. In this connection a brief reference to the arms of the great commanders of to- day is not without interest. The blue escutcheon of General Joffre, for in- stance. bears the cross of Santander, with the fleur-de-lys or old France. Sir Douglas Haig shows upon his shield stars and crescents, while the arms of Sir Viscount French point to his name origin by bearing the dol phin, the emblem of the old French Dauphins.. with Latin motto, trans lated, "Death rather than dishonor." The crest of Admiral Sir David Bea4 ty is lioE-the name, suriously, of his old flagship.
