The human mind has been remark

birthplace at Ajaccio to the French
republic as a historical relic, which
project has been hanging fire for 20
years, is now said to be on the point
of realization. The proposition has
heretofore been allowed to languish
because the dominant political par
ties in France were not overly
keen for imperial relics and because
the sympathies of Prince Victor
Napoleon, pretender to the French
throne, were understood not to be
strongly in favor of the republic.
The sacred union of parties es-

however, brought change of senti-

close touch with everything through
the few partisans of the empire re-
naming in France and through his
faithful secretary, Marquis de Girir-
din. who has served him 80 years.

American politics and is said to be
among the best informed men in
