MARSHAL PETAIN.

The war just ended has resulted in the downfall of many military heroes of the past, but it brought compensa- ton in the development of new geniuses. One of the most illustrious of the latter is Marshal Philippe Pe- tain. At the outbreak of the war Pe- tain commanded a brigade. He was soon made the. leader of a division, then of an army corps and finally of an army Te defender of Verdun, who has received the grand cross of the Legion of Honor, the most valued medal within the gift of the French government, has just passed his Goth milestone. He was born in Cauchy- la-Tour, near the English channel. He entered the army as boy, but was practically unknown when the Ger mans invaded France. He had been a colonel but a short time, but he was almost immediately advanced to the rank of brigadier general. Within two months of the beginning of hos tiIities he was again promoted and made a general of division. In Octo- Der, 1914 I1e was the commander of an army corps, and won distinction in several important engagements. In June 1915 he was made commander of the Second Army having been act ing commander for several months previously. Except for the war Pe- tain would probably have retired from active service with the compar- atively humble rank of colonel. On a special roll of the Legion of Honor this inscription refers to General Petain: Thanks to his, calm firm ness and the skillfulness of his dispo- sitions he knew how to retrieve a delicate situation and inspire confi- dence in all. He has thus rendered the country most conspicuous ser vices" Petain has not permitted his success to enlarge his head and there is nothing of pomp or display at his home or at his headquarters. He is a favorite with the privates because of his affabuity and his democratic spirit.

VsCOUNT BRYCE 80 TODAY.

Viscount James Bryce, perhaps the most popular diplomat ever sent to Washington by a European govern ment, will pass his S0th milestone to- day, as he was born in Belfast on May 10, 1898. During his long ex- perience as British Ambassador to the United States MT. Bryce, who has since been ennobled, gained an in sight into American ideals and aspira- tions which enabled him to accom- pIish more than all his predecessors combined in cementing good fellow ship between the United States and England In his American Com monwealth" he has shown a more profound appreciation of the people of America, their social and political institutions, than any other foreign writer. After leaving Washington Viscount Bryce became unofficial spokesman for the United States in England, and during the war he was able to explain and interpret to his countrymen many phases of the American attitude. The former am bassador was president of the com mission which investigated conditions in Belgium and was the author of the famous Bryce report, perhaps the most scathing indictment of German methods of warfare and their conduct
 in the occupied territory that has been written.
 Viscount Bryce was educated at the University of Glasgow, Oxford and Heidelberg, Germany, and has since
 received honorary degrees from uni versailles and colleges all over Europe and America. He wrote a history of ''The Holy Roman Empire" when i only 24, and the work has become a
 classic. He practiced law for Is
 years, and as a. member of the House | of Commons was a champion of Ire land. He introduced and secured the
 passage of a measure permitting Eng
 fish wives to control their own prop
 erty and advocated public play 1 grounds for children and peace be- | tween nations.
 Viscount Bryce first visited the United States in 1870, and on this and subsequent visits secured material , for a book, ''The American Common wealth." that will probably be read and treasured for centuries to come.

THE "sTOURBRIDGE LION''

The first railway locomotive in America was the "Stourbridge Iion'' which was imported from England in 1929 for use on the Carbondale & Honesdale railroad of the Delaware a Hudson Company and was driven on it's first trip by Horatio Allen a ceIe- brated engineer who was born in Schenectady, N. Y, 117 years ago to- day. Allen was employed as chief engineer by the Delaware & Hudson Canal Company and his trial trip with the Stourbridge Lion marked the first and only time he ever played the role of locomotive engineer. The English built engine was found too heavy for the track it was to be used upon and was soon abandoned. Horatio Allen was a graduate of Columbia College and in later years became president. of the Erie railway consulting en- gineer of the Panama railway and the Brooklyn bridge and was interested in other great projects. He was the in ventor of the swivel car truck and other improvements in railway appli- ances. He died in 1889. The Stour- bridge Lion was so called because it was built in Stourbridge, England.

Beginning with the baby classes in the kindergarten at 3 o'clock the little folks, dressed in fluffy gowns, made merry at their party. Cotillion figures of a May dance formed the chief attraction.
 The pupils of the afternoon classes combined in their entertainment and presented a delightful program of fascinating dances. Among the charm ing dancers who delighted the guests with a special feature were Miss Erma Chase and Miss Irene Conner, who danced The Rivals in pie turesque old fashioned costumes. So cial dancing by the members of the classes took up the entire program. Pupils of the High school and friends were among the invited guests.
 Miss Slocum made a charming host ess. She wore an attractive gown of lace with bandings of opalescent sequins, and carried a corsage of flowers Miss Grace N.

GIRL CANTEEN
 WORKERS SMOKE
New York Woman Says War Zone No Place For
 Young Girl.

New York, May 1O-Adiss Elizabeth Marbury will go to Europe June 4
 for the summer to inspect canteens and entertainment huts, cheer up the soldiers, etc, but if she werewolf few years younger she wouldn't be going. She wouldn't consider it right or proper. In an interview yesterday on her approaching trip, which is un- dertaken for the Knights of CoIum- bus, Miss NIarbury stated emphatic ally that the war zone is no place for young girls since the signing of the arrnistice-
 T think anybody who has any con- trOl over a young woman is doing very wrong to let her go to France to entertain the soldiers and dance with them and so on," said Miss Marbury.
 "Oh, of course young girls were need
 ed for nurses, and it was doubtless all
 right for them to go in that capacity;
 but as canteen workers and enter tainers, no.
 Hundreds of young women did go,
 focked over, crazy to get over there
 and have some new sensations, but in
 my opinion it was most unsafe. And
 of course they all had to have uni- forms, and that is bad, too was told over there that sometimes it was impossible to hold young women to- gether in war work unless they were
 in uniform.
 And there is something psychoIog-
 icaI in a unifOrm-I saw it's effect so
 often on girls abroad, and also here.
 A girl gets a uniform on and her hands go in her pockets, and she
 develops an attitude that isn't the
 thing one wants in young girls. Of course, during the war there were plenty of women in uniform doing splendid work, but if I had my way the age limit prescribed by the Knights of CoIumbus-no women un- der thirty---would stand everywhere. But some of the organizations sent | women over rather indiscriminateIy 1 and I didn't like what I saw of it. Don't the soldiers like the young | pretty girls to dance with them and hand them coffee and ice cream and
 answer their questions? you ask Yes of course the soldiers like the pret-
 ty girls. Human nature is the same | on Broadway or on the Marne. But so do the soldiers like a drink o- | whiskey. It doesn't follow that i is right for them to have it" Seventy-five per cent. of the young 1 women who went to do war worI

65 AT MONTHLY
 CONFERENCE

One of the most successful of Fair field county's many successful suf-
 frage meetings was held at South Nor
 walk last Thursday when 65 women
 fdom all sections of the county met
 together for their regular monthly conference.
 Miss Ludington said in part: we are not defeated. Our work will not stop. A little thing like one vote in the Senate does not bother suffragists very much. To have failed to gain admission to the 1920 suffragists cleo ton in the most conservative state in
 New England, by only one vote is not a defeat but victory.
 1T think if I were going to take
 text for my talk I should quote headline from a Hartford paper
 which, in announcing the result of the senate suffrage vote, said, 'Ror- aback's Leadership Upheld by 18-17 Vote However, suffrage is not a partisan mater, although the Demo- crats, by their party platform, did do
 more for us than the Repubicans.'' - Miss Caroline Ruutz-Rees of Green wich, the county chairman, took charge of the brief money raising campaign to pay current expenses. Over S2G0 was raised

HOLDING TEACHERS HAND.

Faint b.eezes famed the sunkissed
 land,
 As went holding teachers hand; My pulses touched her fingers warm, Her presence swept me like storm; And on the air that hovered there, I breathed the fragrance of her hair. Her utter charm could well alarm The jealous posies on her arm; rphe bits of meadow white with bloom Stood back to give Miss Rosie room, While woodland hooks were loud
 with rocks, The day I carried teachers books. A thrill of power was mine an hour She was my princess in a tower; And meath my ragged gingham shirt My heart went beating till it hurt; Each little lay she hummed that day Told of love as plain as words could
 say.
 An, bitter wool I didn't know She had a swel1ed-up city beau! And she had fooled me from the
 start,
 And >trampled high-heeled on my
 heart;
 He came that night at candlelight, And drove off huggin' teacher tight!
