Paris. France. April 21.-The whole
OF France IS stirred from end TO
end By the reported appearance Of an
other Joan of Arc in the person OF q
young peasant girl named Claire
Perchaud. who claims that il has been
revealed to her in visions that she is
ordained TO put herself at the head OF
the French army and drive out the
German invader.
The mystery has deepened into one
OF the most extraordinary affairs for

that the Catholic church. apparently

Of Claire Perchaud. has sequestered
her. She IS now in the charge of nuns
