We think the above figures are en-

If Eve 8 and Adam 50, certainly the

Scientific men, however, on the
strength of the theory that the ante

something like this: Eve 81 and Adam

Intense interest throughout Franco

hundred years and more efforts have
been made in France to make the
Maid of Orleans saint of the church.
But, for political or other reasons, her
has not taken place.
- Each spring, since the war started,
:. the statue of Joan of Arc in the Rue

land France seems not to wish for an
:::::..;::o,ther Napoleon, but for a second Joan

ss,the poilus called upon Joan of Arc for
Victory, and there are hairy-chcsted
,;.-satcrans in the trenches today who
-.-swear that they saw her in shining

;. American soldiers since late last
:, summer have been familiar with the
Joan of Are country. Thousands of
!. them have visited the little church at
Domremy where she was baptized and
. The house where she was born. They
have travcrsed the same fields where
she tended sheep at the time she was
inspired to place herself at the head
Of the troops Of France.

the foreign diplomats experiencing

is gathered that the situation in Ber-
