It was reported that he came back

It should also be remembered that
when the troops were dsbanded and

only by debentures, and the credit OF
these was so low that they were hard

ed that when a Frenchman bows, two
thirds of the bow is to himself. That
NAV be true, and We have to admit
that even the other third Is quite a
fraction more than most Anglo-Saxons
offer.
Saluting is the same proposition. A
