This the pay Of Youno Men.

In their enthusiasm, some well
stricken In years have been heard to
argue that this ought to be called the
day Of old men. But one would have
to be not only old but foolish to at
tempt to make that out. Youth will
still be served. 1t is really more en-
phatically than e before the day Of
yo6ng men. Theirs the main service,
theirs the thrill and ecstasy Of patri-
otic devotion. Yet their elders cannot
be denied a share in the great making
of history which is going on. To be
living through it at any age is to stir
the pulses apd quicken the magma
ton. 1t Is a time when, with the coun-
try making 50 many calls upon her old
ef sons, they al scarcely be blamed
II they adapt for their own use the
poets saying. and declare that It IL a
period when 1t is bliss to. be alive and
very Heaven to be Old.-New York

Today We Celebrate


This is the ~ifty-ninth birthday of
the chief figure In hat military cause
celebro of the century, the Dreyfus
case. 1t was over a decade ago that
Alfred Dreyfus was completely vindi-
Gated and restored to the French army
as a major, after having been convict
ed of selling military secrets to Ger
many, and sentenced to life imprison-
ment on the Isle du Diable. At the
outbreak of the war Major Dreyfus
was placed in command of one of the
forts near Paris, but he has had no OPP
p~ortunity to distinguish himself so far
as Is known. His young son, Pierre,
has been actively engaged at the front
since the war began, holding the rank
Of lieutenant in an artillery regiment.
The young man has shown great brav-
cry under fire n has been cited IN
the Journal Oficiel as follows:
Pierre Dreyfus, at the front since
the beginning of the war, particularly
distinguished himself on February 26,
81, and 2s, 1916, by assuring, during
these three days, a service of observa-
ton and liaison under most perilous
conditions, after having requested not
to be relieved during this period TO
avoid risk of disturbing the continuity
of service during the critical phase.
Throughout the days of February and
March he has remained constantly up
or his battery's position, thus insuring
q particularly active service of the
guns under an almost continuous bonn
bardment from the enemy's artillery"
The Dreyfus case has bee dead"
many years, and was only revived
about two years ago for a short period
by the death of the Marquis Patty de
de Clam, although beyond the age
fcial who had charge of the prosecu-
ton of the accused Jewish officer. Patty
du Clam, although beyond the age
limit for active service, volunteered at
the beginning of the war. He was
wounded during the great battle of
Verdun, and. after lingering a few
weeks, died of his injuries.
Alfred Dreyfus vas born In Alsace,
of Jewish parents, on Oct. o., 1889.
After graduating from the Polytechnic
he was made a lieutenant of artillery
in 1882, reaching the rank of captain
in 1889. He was arrested In 1894
charged with selling military secrets
to the ambassador from Berlin. Con-
victed of this charge. he was publicly
degraded from his rank in the pres
ence of 5000 troops, and sent to the
Isle du Diable, off the coast of South
America. under a life sentence. Emil
lola and others championed his cause
90 successfully that he was given q
new trial and was eventually vindi-
Gated.

Famous Women
abe of France.

Isabella was the youngest child of
Louis VIII. of France and Blanche OF
Castillo. She was born in 1924 and at
an early z was considered very beau
tiful. Besides this she was studious,
and her learning and piety were added
attractions. She refused every offer Of
marriage, however, even declining to
become the wife of Emperor Ferdin-
and's son. Her desire was to devote
her life to religion. The Pope, at her
mothers request, appealed to her to al
ter her Intentions, but her answer to
his letter was so full of humility, piety
and reason that both he and her
mother yielded. She founded the mon
astery at Longchamp about 1850, al
though she never withdrew entirely
from the world or Joined any religious
order. Toward the end of her life she
observed the most rigorous silence to
expiate for the idle words she had
spoken during her youth. She died in
the year 1869, aged forty-ive.
