Professor Louis Allard, who rendered general service early in the war as an interpreter, is now stationed at Rouen in the English Hospital No. 8, as an interpreter between French and English soldiers.

Mr. L. J. A. Mercier, instructor in French, joined the territorial troops at his native town of Le Mans in France, and, though strongly desiring to be sent to the front, is retained there for the value of his services as chief interpreter, having charge of the office work of that depot of the French army.

The work is affiliated with that of the British Red Cross Society.
