Professor Lemaire occupies at present the position of Assistant Director of the Ecole Centrale Lyonnaise in France, and he is as well a reserve officer of the French navy. He entered the naval service in 1900 as a sailor but his personal tastes and talents led him to scientific studies. He entered the Ecole Superieur d'Electricite and obtained his degree. After graduating from the school, he received a commission and was detailed to the command of a submarine...
...current number of the Advocate, throughout a considerable amount of fiction, maintains an unusual degree of capability. The sketches range in theme from the intrigue of a sailor in Java to the gossip of ladies at afternoon bridge. The authors who have contributed these sketches write with assurance. They preserve an air of tried narrative skill; they expound both masculine and feminine character unabashed, as if experience sat lightly upon their shoulders, and no recess of human nature could resist the tolerant ease of their perceptions.

...arms of his old sweetheart from the States. Before he can accomplish this, it is necessary to rid the plot of her unpleasant husband. The riddance is ably assisted by a jealous native and a school of sharks. Stirred into this is a silly ass Englishman, a drunken sailor, a governor general, a fervent thunderstorm and some native dancing. George Gaul is conspicuous as the native boy and gives a somewhat monotonous portrayal. None of the cast was overladen with ability or clothing, but they all performed very energetically. Aloma is just about bad enough and just sufficiently exciting...
