A Reuter- message says that Frances list of 500 names of Germans ''wanted'' for trial includes

 Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria, and
 A number of generals and com manders of prisoner of war camps.

 The Wisdom of osIer- Sir William l Osler's death at the end of the yea recalls some inspir1ting sayings of hi 1 which were quoted as New Year reSo 1 lutions when he became regius profes sor at the beginning of 1908.
