Franca is taking otop3 to provide or her maimed soldiers. The easiest to help, says a Paris correspondent, are those who have been brought up to work ill offices, sitting at desks, for the loss of a limb will not necessarily render them unfit for their old occupation. The maimed peasant, on the other hand, itt in a very different position, and for his -benefit there are more than a few . public and private committees ready to act. Having worked on the soil before the war, he must be returned to it in one way or other after it, only the loss of a limb will make it necessary for him to be re-educated, and it is this re-education that M. Gabriel Hanotaux, Academician, is organising within the precincts and' the nphere of_tho_ Frenoh Home Office. The State maintains at public expense a number of agricultural colleges, covering all branches of field operations, anil scattered throughout the country, all of which can be utilised for the reeducation of the peasant.
