March, 1919. Lieut.. Southland had an
opportunity to attend the famous
Sartonne University in Paris. He
staid there four months. taking stud
les in the college of law department..
He reports the courses as being very
satisfactory. especially one given by
Prof. Lapradelle on international
Law" Prof. Lapradelle is one Of the
foremost French authorities. and
was appointed to investigate and re-
port to the Peace Conference data
and conclusions as to the triability
of the Kaiser and some Of his as
sociates for violation Of the rules Of
war The professors conclusions are
we'll known and embodied in the final
Peace Treaty.
The lieutenant says that France
seems to be cropping around after
the war with too many tasks for too
few people She lacks man power
woefully for industrial and agricul-
tural purposes. while at the same
time she must maintain a large
police force for Continental Europe.
She needs help but is undecided as
to what form that aid is to shape it
self. Germany is. according to the
lieutenant. receiving much favor
from France.
Being an attorney one little pleas
ure was accorded him that was high

attend the famous Senator Humbert
trial for treason before the war
council Of Paris and France. LAS
far as rules Of evidence are con-

rules for the exclusion Of testimony.

Lieut.. Southland is happy again. One
boy II months old has never seen his
father. SO it's up TO them to get ac-
quainted. After a leave of Is days
