The Days of a Man \\^\o 



diseases. Following our first acquaintance, we became 

 such good friends that in subsequent visits to Paris 

 my family and I were personal guests at his spacious 

 "Maison de Repos," No. 15, Boulevard de la Made- 

 leine. Riviere never married, having devoted his life 

 to his sister's children, born like himself in Mauritius. 



Majeruux Joscph Majcrieux, the eldest, was a remarkably 

 brilliant youth of twenty, already graduated from 

 the University of Paris and well along in his medical 

 studies. At one time he went to England with me to 

 perfect his English in the summer session at Oxford. 

 When war broke out, he entered the army and we 

 soon received a post card bearing the words, '' Blesse, 

 a rhopital." But he recovered from the wound and 

 survived the entire conflict. 



Dumas Jacques Dumas, then city prosecuting attorney, 



was strongly interested in the peace movement. 

 Keen, critical, impatient with pretense, he went 

 directly to the heart of things. He belonged to the 

 group of which Ruyssen was the leading spirit and 

 which published an admirable monthly, ''La Paix 

 par le Droit'' (Peace through Law). These men 

 accepted the dictum of Leon Bourgeois that "peace 

 is the duration of law." In connection with his 

 translation of my booklets ^ already mentioned, 

 Dumas gave me the following letter, dated February 

 19, 191 1, from Auguste Fabre of Nimes: 



L'article de Dr. Jordan est bien fait; largeur de vue, clarite 

 dans I'exposition des faits, multiplicite des examples, deductions 

 d'une logique irrefutable, rien ne manque a son article. Au nom 

 de tous mes amis qui I'ont lu vous pouvez Ten remercier. 



J'espere que la Paix par le Droit en tirera influence et profit. 

 Votre part, non le moindre, servira I'honneur de I'avoir compris, 

 choisi, et traduit.
