France Banishes Duel After War Habits Change
Paris dispatch notes duel fading as a France war culture shift. The last field of honor clash occurred in 1914 between Joseph Caillaux and Louis d Aillieres. Aillieres later died from shell fragment injuries sustained near the front. Public sentiment now declares the duel ended with the sacred union of parties, amid ongoing war.

The passage weighs two explanations for a postwar duel between former foes.

It mentions bloodthirst and honor in relation to Germans.
