NAPOLEON, FRENCHMEN We are indebted to two renders, whose letter appears in ! anotheiua'lurwiVfoiyoi'i'c'rtiatT our tiiTonnoun sUUiment iJ h recent paragraph auout the nativity of Napoleon; also lor asking if Foch "would bo the less a Frenchman had he lieen a Biistiuo by liirth." No one questions either lieing thorough ly trench in loyalty, devotion and service. Hut Mh Nti-i polcon and Foch were without a drop of French blood in their veins. ' v ; . j The late French field marshal was born October 2, 1851; at Tarbes, a little town in the Pyrenne not far from thq Spanish liorder. Although born in French territory and therefore legally a Frenchman, Foch came from pure Basque parentage a people inhabiting the-region of the western Pyrennes in Spain and France.'-. Ethnologists consider the Basque people bi.ljie either a distinct race or r people that hii become distinctive through long isolation. Their language is thought to be the' only surviving language of the ancient Iberians, perhaps related to the Berber languages of North Africa. In temperament and characteristics they differ radr icitlly in many ways from the French. Napoleon was born on the island of Corsica in August) 1760, three months after the French had defeated the Corsi. cans under Paoli and brought the Island definitely under French rule. Nucleoli's father was a Coi-sican lieutenant and nobleman, his mother also it native of the island, and their forebears -came originally fium Italy. The island va at one time under the rule of Genoa and gninedlts (ndepend. ence before Its conquest by France. While Foch was a Frenchman from earlied youth, Na. lxilctin looked upon the country of his conqueror, as a foreign land until his rise to power was accomplished. Ac. cording to Eniil I.udwig's Napoleon, after the Boniipart's Italian title of nobility had been confirmed by the Jlorald's College in Paris, Napoleon was given a scholarship in the Nobles' Schools, where he remained five years. In a letter to his father he wrote: "I am tired of explaining my poverty, of having to endure the mockery of theaa forloii livs li. knew scarcely a word of French when he entered the school! .ma iiad nuie inclination to ;'learn tho language of the foe." Kven as a French sub-lieutenant he1 wrote of freedom for his native island " . . Thus can 'we shake off--the yoke of Fiance, just as we shook off the yoke of Genoa1." But Napoleon remained in France, took part in the revo lution and rose to supreme power in the new republic and, later, the empire. Like Foch, though not so selflossly. he made France and the French people his own. What they lacked in French nativity they made up in devotion nnd won the undying love of the people they served. The quiet, un. demonstrative Basque and the egotistical, volcanic Corsicnu lie under the same dome, true Frenchmen, not because of what they wele but because of whut they did.
