1t was no new thing to Brig. Gen
Charles l. Martin to lead men into
battle. His had been long and dis
tinguished career. He was SER
geant in the Kansas Guard in 1890,
and in 1898 ne was captain in the
Twentieth Kansas volunteer infan-
! try. His colonel was Frederick Fun
ston. In the battle of Manila he at
tackled with his company over an
open road and his company's casual
ties were the heaviest in the regi-
ment. Out near Calucan, on one oc-
casion, his company had been thrown
into the trenches to hold them for
two days. and they held them with
out relief for six weeks. He came out

General Martin is a quiet, studionS
man, who excels in organizing. His
brigade had staff organization
which would continue to function,
whatever cog of it dropped out. The
first impression of General Martin isl
not always good. One may think
him too quiet. or that he lacks force. |
But to look into his organization, and
to examine the reports show the
power the man carries behind his |
quiet front.
He was the only national guard
general officer left with the division, |
and so well had he handled his brig
ade, and so favorable We're the re- /
ports on him, that it began to he
about that possibly this was
another Funston case national
guardsman who was so capable that
the professional soldiers of the regu-
lar army would have to acknowledge
his worth and give him a fitting re-
ward. Every attempt to unseat him
had failed, and they had been many.

ward the Argonne Martin was study

OXFORD HIGH DEFEATS
GRENADA f9-2

Oxford High easily defeated the
-trong (?) Grenada High nine by the
0ne-sided score Of 10 to 8 on the Ole
bliss campus last Friday afternoon.
A large crowd, composed both Of
people from town and Ole Miss stu-
dents, witnessed the game.
The baseball field was too muddy
to USE, so the game was played on
the lower athletic field. The water
soaked ground and ball hampcred tne
players somewhat, but did not prevent
the Oxford High boys from batting
some three OF four Grenada pitchers
all over the lot. The local boys play
ed all around the visitors-Who, by
the way. won the high school cham
pionship of North Mississippi year.
The Oxford High diamond specialists
literally covered themselves with glory
and mud.
This article would be incomplete II
we did not extend our deepest and
most heartfelt sympathy to Freshmea
Brondstreet and Brooks, and Donald
Wright for the sad misfortune which
befelI the representatives Of their
home town. 1t is even reported that
this ~sorrcwful trio were unfortunate
enough to lose the unheard-of sum
Of thirty cents betting on The game.
However, we give no credence Whatso-
ever to this latter report-especially
in the case Of Freshman Brooks.

crowd into this time as much informa-
tian as | deem it wise to impart. You
were with me on one of thees trips
and therefore had at first hand an
opportunity of observing the charac-
ter and quality of the work. The old
palace in which the museum is housed
dates from the time of the Dukes OF
Burgundy, and is itself Of very great
interest. The museum contains a
number of old and beautiful pieces OF
furniture, and has, as its chief treas
ures, the tombs Of Philippe lie Hardi
and Jeah-san5-Peur. The most i'm
p~ortant paintings in the GALAXY are al
so pointed out to the men. The mu-
scum contains a number of originals
by some well-known s%culptors. There
are also some Roman remains of def
mite merit and plaster-cast %reproduc-
tons of some masterpieces, especial
ly Of Francois Rude and Calus Sluter.
During the past month we have taken
through, over a thousand men. Each
day men have to be turned away, be-
cause the parties are limited to thirty,
but on Sundays we have two parties,
of thirty each, and are planning to
arrange for additional prties on We'd
nesdays and Saturdays. l urged the
men to make notes on this trip SO as to
have a permanent record, and a num-
Der of them are doing this as they go,
day by day. I further call attntion to
the important collections in the
United States indicating where they
are to be found, and advise the men
to visit them on their return home.
In addition to the museum trip,
I conduct occasional parties through
the city, taking them to the churches,
Palais de Justice and the Well Of
Moses. The interest in all>this work
is steadily growing, and it is suffi-
GENTLY important alone to engage the
full attention of one man.
