ceived a terrific wound in the abdomen
from shell. A fragment tore away

geons with the expedition fashioned
solid silver plate to cover the intes-
tines, and over this the skin was
stretched and allowed to grow together.
For long time his life was despaired
of. He finally recovered and is now as
vigorous as ever. His wound does not
bother him and he has shown since that
he can stand a long ride and the usual
camp hardships as we'll as any one.

ing in insisting upon attention being
paid to the most minute details of
duty, and win accept no excuse from
private or officer under him. On the
other hand. he performs his own duties
with all the fidelity he exacts from his
subOrdinates. He never takes advan-
tage of rank to avoid hardships, incon-
veniences or disagreeable duties. He
is absolutely just to his subordinates.
His patents of nobility date back five
centuries and more. and his family is
one of the proudest. The De Gallifets
are true gentlemen of Provence,
When he married Mile. Laftte, the
daughter of the great French banker,
the aristocracy held up its hands in
holy horror She was considered no
body. whose only claim to distinction
was her fathers great wealth. The
Marquise de Gallifet has proved her
title clear as a princess of fashion in
Paris.
General de Gallifets eyes are hazel,
piercing and expressive; his hair is
snow white and his coQuettishly curled
mustache is still black. His voice is
sonorous. his manner active, energetic,
commanding and elegant. His figure
retains the suppleness and slenderness
of youth and he rides to perfection.
Gallifet's youth was so extremely gay
that tales of his doings are still told in
the clubs. His family was perplexed
more than once as to how TO moderate

Kaiser Wilhelm, grimly sitting his
war steed, turned to that other Teuton
war lord. his heart bounding with ad-
miration, and he exclaimed. "Oh, what
brave fellOwsi"
1t was Gallifets brigade that called
for this burst Of admiration from the
German Emperor. The charge was led
by the General Marquis de Gallifet in
person.
General de Gallifet's conduct at Sc
dan. his work in discipline of the
French cavalry after the war, and his
work in handling Partisan rioters, make
him an ideal cavalry leader and popu-
lar favorite. In addition he has the
merit of being a man who has reduced
his profession to a science, possessed OF
an immense fund of general informa-
ton an ornament to any society and
withal the embodiment of all the ele-
gance and brilliancy of Marquis OF
the last century.
Unlike most military men De Gallifet
has a range of friendships extending
from the eowest to the highest classes.
His friendship for Gambetta was OBJ
tected to by Monarchists and Bona
partists alike. They accused him of
having abandoned the party to which
by tradition and association he should
have belonged His reply was char
acteristic: I pay no attention TO
politics, l am devoted TO my profession,
oerior officers, can best serve France
~ not interfering with her legally con-
tituted Government" 1t was this OBJ
lection which caused the ROyallStS and
others to give the credit for the charge
al Sedan to the Prince de Beaufremont.
The case stands thus: General Mar
guerfte, the commanding officer of the
brigade, was killed just before the
charge; the senior officer was the
Prince de Beaufremont, and he
claimed he took command and led the
charge; the Marquis de Gallifet says
that he received his commission as gen
eral the night before the battle and
that he assumed command upon the
death of General Marguerite. The Off
cial records sustain De Galiifet.
General de Gallifet is over 70 years
old, and usually has the gay, dandified
appearance of a young officer who has
just left a ladies' boudoir-that is,
when he is not on duty. When on duty
he looks every inch the soldier. He is
a strict disciplinarian, rigorous 70 an

realization that De Gallifet is at the
helm. Again the Marquis has shown the
broad liberality OF his mind and the cos
mopolitanism of his friendships. He is

and with the Socialists, and as usual
his cool Judgment will act as balance
