and Peace-maker Paris, May 9.
The Napoleon centenary celebrations at Notre Dame, at the Invalides, where the great soldier lies buried, and at the tomb of the unknown warrior under the Are de Triomphe, were all very impressive testimonies of the veneration of present-day France for Napoleon. Perhaps the most st ing feature was the brief address delivered at the Invalides by Marshal Foch. Every Frenchman can write prose, and it seems to have devolved upon Marshal Foch on this occasion to compose super-prose.' Napoleon provided him with material for a sermon which the highest dignitary of the Church would not have been ashamed to adopt.
"Everything shows," said the Marshal, after reviewing Napoleon's career, "that duty is common to all, Higher than commanding victorious armies is the duty nf serving the country in accordance with the country's own views of what it needs for its happiness and prosperity. Justice must be respected in whatever we do. Above war stands peace.''
