French Aristocrats in War.

Although France is a republic, the French aristocracy has been as eager In its war service as the British aristocracy. The difference is that, while the British aristocrat is almost always a commissioned officer, the majority of the French counts and barons are serving in the ranks. Two thousand one hundred and seventy-six nobles have already written their names -on the roll of honor. Among them are Prince Louis Murat, a descendant of Napolean’s marshal; the Due de Rohan, who before his death had won both the Croix de Guerre and the Legion of Honor, and the Comte de Turenne, a descendant of the famous marshal of France. The Comtesse O'Gorman lost her life while working as a Red Cross nurse, after having been decorated with the Croix de Guerre. —Dundee Advertiser.
