Auxilia palatina Auxilia palatina ( sing . " auxilium palatinum " ) were infantry units of the Late Roman army , first raised by Constantine I as part of the new field army he created in about 325 . Some of the senior and probably oldest of these units had special names such as " Cornuti " or " Brachiati " ; others were named after the tribes from which they were recruited ( many of these in eastern Gaul , or among the German barbarians ) . These units all became palatine units when a distinction was drawn between " palatina " and the remainder of the " comitatenses " around 365 . There is no direct evidence for the strength of an " auxilium " , but A . H . M . Jones ( " History of the Later Roman Empire " , Blackwell , Oxford , 1964 p 682 ) estimates that it may have been 600 or 700 . Some " auxilia " are attested as " limitanei " , especially on the Danube . It is not clear whether these were regarded as a different category of unit . List of " auxilia palatina " . List of the " auxilia palatina " included in the early 5th - century " Notitia Dignitatum " , which depicts also some of the shield patterns of the units .

Fort Rouge ( fortification ) Fort Rouge was a fort located on the Assiniboine River in Manitoba , Canada , on the site of what is now the city of Winnipeg . Its exact location is unknown . Its name in English means " red fort " . In 1738 Sieur Louis Damours de Louvières built Fort Rouge on the Assiniboine River for Pierre Gaultier de Varennes , sieur de La Vérendrye . La Vérendrye and his sons , Louis - Joseph and Francois , proceeded further west on the Assiniboine and constructed Fort La Reine . The fort seems to have had a primary purpose as a depot and was abandoned by 1749 . A new commandant of the French western forts , Jacques Legardeur de Saint - Pierre , spent the winter of 1752 - 1753 at the Forks , and likely rebuilt Fort Rouge at its original location . Much research points to this site being on the north bank of the Assiniboine near the forks although some scholars place the original fort on the south bank . Trading posts were built near Fort Rouge by Bruce and Boyer in 1780 and by Alexander Henry the younger in 1803 , as was Fort Gibraltar in 1807 . The district of Fort Rouge in south - central Winnipeg is named for the fort . A site near Winnipeg ' s Union Station , believed to be the location of Fort Rouge , was designated a National Historic Site in 1924 as part of the " Forts Rouge , Garry , and Gibraltar National Historic Site of Canada " .

Franck Report The Franck Report of June 1945 was a document signed by several prominent nuclear physicist s recommending that the United States not use the atomic bomb as a weapon to prompt the surrender of Japan in World War II . The report was named for James Franck , the head of the committee that produced it . The committee was appointed by Arthur Compton and met in secret , in all - night sessions in a highly secure environment . Largely written by Eugene Rabinowitch , the report spoke about the impossibility to keep the United States atomic discoveries secret indefinitely . It predicted a nuclear arms race , forcing the United States to develop nuclear armaments at such a pace that no other nation would think of attacking first from fear of overwhelming retaliation . This did , in fact , occur . The report recommended that the nuclear bomb not be used , and proposed that either a demonstration of the " new weapon " be made before the eyes of representatives of all of the United Nations , on a barren island or desert , or to try to keep the existence of the nuclear bomb secret for as long as possible . In the first case , the international community would be warned of the dangers and encouraged to develop an effective international control on such weapons . In the later case , the United States would gain several years time to further develop their nuclear armament , before other countries would start their own production . The Franck Report was signed by James Franck ( Chairman ) , Donald J . Hughes , J . J . Nickson , Eugene Rabinowitch , Glenn T . Seaborg , J . C . Stearns , and Leó Szilárd . Franck took the report to Washington June 12 , where the Interim Committee , appointed by the President to advise him on use of the atomic bomb , met on June 21 to reexamine its earlier conclusions . However , this committee reaffirmed that there was no alternative to the use of the bomb and on August 6 and 9 , the Americans dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki . The Report was declassified and released to the public in early 1946 , but Manhattan Project officials required the censorship of some passages . External links .
