the power of curing rheumatism, sci

afflicted men a thousand or so years

has lost any Of the powers with which
1t began life, perhaps million years
ago. but large part of the British

LAST FATALITY IN DISPUTE
When Determined, Monument Will Be
Erected on Spot Where Unfortu-
nate Soldier Died.

When was the last man killed In
the war? This is the latest question
asked by the French literary journal,
Renaissance. 1t promises to be taken
up seriously by the allied nations each
of which has hitherto considered that
the honor belonged to it, The British
declare that a few minutes before
eleven O'Clock on the morning of the
armistice a colonel OF machine gunners
in the British army received stray
bullet, but it is doubtful whether this
bullet came from German snlper or
from a party of moppers up. At any
rate, the British case is considered
outclassed. Veterans associations in
allied countries are being asked to
send in corroborated details Of Incl
dents likely to aid in solving the prob
lem, which the Renaissance assures its
readers is just as important as is the
identity Of the first man killed In the
war, the latter honor, of course, be.
longing to the French soldier who
crossed the German frontier without
knowing war had been declared and
was shot during an alteration with
German customs agent and squad
of German infantry. Once the iden-
tity Of the last man killed in the wal
is established, monument Will be
raised to commemorate the fatality
and the soldier who lost his life at
the moment of victory.
