NOT PHYSICALLY FIT
TO HAVE TAKEN PART IN GREAT WAR NAPOLEON A MAN OF C 3 STANDARD .London, December 23. Napoleon was physically of C 3 standard and would have been rejected if he had attempted to fight in the Great War, according to Dr. Ihoris, of the French Morphological Society. He savs: “At file age of seventeen, when he” became an officer, I would have been compelled to reject Napoleon because he was over thin; at thirty because he was overfat; and at any other age he should have been rejected on the ground of low chest measurement. He had a body without lungs,'■stomach, or muscle.” “Sun” Cable.
