BROUGHT TOGETHER BY WAR
French and English Fraternize as
They Have Not Done for More
Than a Century.
Some months ago an old man
called at the French embassy and
asked to see the ambassador. M.
Cambon saw him, and the man pro
duced a little square of old red silk.
He explained that this was part of
a tricolor flag captured at Waterloo
by a party of soldiers which includ
ed his grandfather. They had cut
up the flag, and this piece had been
treasured in the family ever since.
The old man felt that he could no
longer keep it, and wished to hand
it back to our friends the French.
Another gift at the embassy was
no less curious. A visitor called,
carrying a heavy, flat case. He
opened it in the presence of the am
bassador and showed a fine picture
by Greuze, which he asked the am
bassador to receive as a gift to
France. The donor said that it had
been in his family for some time,
and he wanted now to present it to
France for a French museum, or to
be sold for the French hospital
funds, or anything they wished. He
refused to give his nanve, and left
no clue to his identity but the pic
ture.—Manchester (Eng.) Guard
