FIELD MARSHAL
Continued from PAGE Onel

mel ports from the Germans and
saved England from probable invas-
ion. 1t was at Ypres that the Ger
mans first resorted to their deadly
gas attacks, form of warfare that
impelled the British commander to
deplore the fact that an army would
stoop so low.
The Boar war was to French on
1y another opportunity to show the
ability which the British military
authorities had shelved seven years
before. He was given the chief cav
airy command and in numerous OPP
erations he proved himself both a
great strategist and superior tacti-
clan. He was mentioned in many
dispatches and went back to Eng
land at the close of the war to be
knighted and given the command
of all the troops at Aldershot with
the rank of lieutenant general.
In 1907 French was appointed in
spector general of the forces and five
years later he was made chief of the
imperial general staff. He was made
marshal in 1913 and as such went to
France at the beginning of the World
War as commander-in-chief of the ex-
peditionary forces. Here again he dis
played his extraordinary ability as
military leader. He was, in way,
responsible for the change in the
British cabinet resulting in the crea-
ton of the ministry of munitions, at
the head of which former Premier
Lloyd George succeeded in awakening
the munitions manufacturers to the
necessity of rallying to the aid of the
soldiers in the field.
In the early engagements in France,
French's army was outnumbered by
the enemy and short of his explosives
to halt the German advance. To the
latter was attributed the necessity for
the strategic retreat from Mons, in
which he handled the sorely tried
British army in mastery fashion.
Later with 100000 men under his
command he scored his great victory
at YpreS.
The Earl of Ypres, John Denton
Pinkstone French, was the son of a
captain of the royal navy and was
born Sept. %, 1852, at Ripple. Kent.
He Joined II. M. S. Britannia in 1866
and was a naval cadet and midshipman
four years. He entered the army in
1874.
The earl was an ardent admirer and
student of Napoleon, whom he regard
ed as the greatest strategist the world
has ever known. In following closely
Napoleons campaigns he had covered
much of the very ground in Belgium
where years later he was called upon
to combat as formidable a foe as the
Little Corporal ever faced. French's
of Belgian soil was said to
have been an enormous help to him.
And this, some insisted, was another
bit of French luck.
In 1880 the carl married Eleanora,
daughter Of f. w. Selby-Lowndes.

A motor cop met with a casualty,
his machine being tipped over in a
nut Going through Readfield and
Readfeld Depot, they soon left the
smooth macadam and in time left
the gravel road and struck clay
roads. Their course led them down
to the railroad tracks to a point
known as Hoyt's crossi. 8. Here the
party alighted and started in
an easterly direction, searching.
Spotlights were played among the
dripping trees on each SIDE and over
the wet, slippery mounds sur
mounting the sides of the track.
In time they gave up the search and
returned to town.
The search for. the newly made
grave in the Readield district was
taken up again, this forenoon. High
way Officers Watts and Frost ac-
companied by Benjamin F. Hodg-
man and his German shepherd dog
from Lewiston and some enter
prising reporters and photographers
drove to Whites crossing again.
Here they left the automobiles and
trudged down the railroad tracks in
westerly direction. Coming to a
railroad section crew. they queried
the workers. They were informed
that the men had been working
there for a week and had noticed
no newly made mounds, although
they would not be apt to observe any
much above the level of the track
as this one was reported to be. Co.
ing on some distance, the party came
to the elevation described by the
engineer and after going about a
half a mile or more, Officer Robert
Watts saw over the fence fresh
mound.
Only WOodchuc11's Hole
1t was good sized heap of earth
and as>it looked, viewed from the
road, had every indication of being
the shape of a grave. After climb
ing the high wire fence and more
closely investigating, it was found
that the mound was the approach
to the abode of an energetic wood
chuck. Judging from its location
and the angle as might be viewed
from the cab of an engine, the
mound had every appearance of be-
ing freshly dug grave. 1t is thought
this is the one the engineer glimpsed
through the window of his cab,
Thursday.

Dog Fails to Trace
Continued from Pace Onel

Heath farm. There the dog again
demonstrated his intelligence by
following the path, but he gave no
evidence that he, was following a
definite trail. The length of time
which has elapsed and the rainfall
of Thursday have taken away any
scent which might have been there.
1t is practically impossible to carry
on a scent after "a hours have
elapsed.
"Deeka" was the dog which it was
expected was to be used in the case
but he had injured his nose in
some manner and therefore would
have been useless in the Lake
Maranacook cottage case at the pres
ent time.
"Carime" is a beautiful dog, Of a
completely rich chocolate brown
color. He is short of hair and long
of legs His ears, which were clip
ped in Germany before he arrived at
the Peabody kennels, are sharp and
he raises them upon the least pro-
vocation. He is as agile as a fox
and to watch him cropping in the air
or with his keen nose close to the
ground, the observer can see he is
every inch a police dog.

ASSAULT CASE
AIRED IN COURT

Lascadia Mantush of Winslow was
arraigned in the Waterville NUM-
cipal court yesterday morning on a
charge of assault and battery against
Emilia Farkish also of Winslow two
weeks ago, and, after hearing both
sides of the story the case was put
on file by Judge Charles w. Atchley,
both the parties being warned that
they must keep the peace in the
future.
Mrs. Markish at the time of the
alleged assault, occupied room in
Mrs. Mantush's house. According to
her story she went into the kitchen
one morning to cook when Mrs. Man.
tush commenced to argue with her.
The assault started soon afterwards
and Mrs. Mantush said that she was
struck several times in the face and
knocked down. AS soon as she was
able she ran from the house and
notified Wellington G. Reynolds of
the affair. Mrs. Markish told the
court that she had never previous
ly had any trouble with Mrs. Man.
tush.
Mr.. Reynolds testified that he went
to the house as soon as he heard of
the Quafrel out InaC when he drrlNeu
there he found only children and
he was unable to learn much of the
fray.
Mrs. Mantush said that Mrs.
Markish seemed obsessed with de-
sire to talk of man with whom the
latter was acquainted and in doing
so she spoke in a derogatory man
ner Of the deeondant and several
other women. She emphatically de-
MED that she struck Mrs. Markish
and she did not know where the
complainant received the blackened
eye she had after the quarrel
Mrs. Markish testified in Russian
and William Settler acted as her in
terpretor.

THREE IN NEAR
INJURY I'm CAR

Injury to three people was mar
nowly averted when a Ford sedan
owned and operated by William He
bert of this city and a Studebaker
touring car owned and operated by
M. A. Bates of Oakland, collided yes
terday morning on Front street at a
point opposite the railroad bridge
over the roadway entering the Wa
terville Iron Works. Mr.. Bates was
coming onto Front street at 6.30
o'clock and at the same time the
Ford was Passing along the street in
northerly direction. Neither driv-
er noticed the other until it was too
late to avert an accident.
In the Ford at the time were two
other people besides Mr.. Hebert.
The car was turned over on its side
and the top was ripped off. AL
though the occupants suffered few
minor bruises none was badly hurt.

Mrs. Towns Better

Mrs. Towns condition was report
ed as more favorable today. A re-
port to this effect was embodied in
a notice tackled to the hospital door.
Inquirers who came to the Winthrop
Community Hospital for this reason
alone, saw the sign, read 1t and then
went away without disturbing any
one. DIR. Badgers notice read as
follows: Mrs. Towns condition i'm
proved during night. She is taking
nourishment this morning. Recovery
now probable. 90"
The Hospital was kept as quiet as
possible, today and no one was per-
mitted to enter unless they had ur-
gent business. DIR. Badger is being
assisted in his work by DR.. r. w.
Bicknell. Mrs. Anne Gale. superin-
tendent of the Hospital, has added
more nurses to her staff to care for
the regular patients. In this way
Mrs. Gale devotes her entire time,
practically to the care of Mrs.
Towns.
Saved by Doctors Skill
At the time that Mrs. Towns vi
tally was so low, Thursday morning,
when she lowered SO near the brink,
DIR. Badger performed an almost I'M
believable task, that of bringing the
woman back. This Winthrop doc
tor, who has had the injured woman
under his almost hourly care, has
doubtless performed one Of the most
remarkable feats in the profession.
With an organic heart trouble, a
wound in the face and throat and
the wounded arm, the woman is in
a most dangerous condition. Hours
have been passed in pumping oxygen
to her and many other combinations
of medicinal treatments have been
made. AS one nurse remarked, Mrs.
Towns was as near dead as she
could be, without being So" This
was made in reference to her condi-
ton Thursday morning. Now that
Mrs. Towns has passed through
Thursday night, which was consider
ed the crucial phase, it Is expected
that her chances for recovery have
increased a large per cent.
The police officers were again
stationed at the Winthrop Commu-
nifty Hospital, this evening and will
watch through the night until day
breaks again. They were also on
duty Thursday night. This precau-
ton is being taken in case there
might be lurking about mailman,
perhaps the one who is being sought.
Rush to Find Grave
Newspaper circles and those In
the know were electrified into action,
late Thursday evening, when re-
port was received from a railroad
engineer that q freshly made mound
was seen beside the railroad track In
Readfield. Automobiles were quick
ly loaded with eager scribes and au-
thorities. Motor cycle police were
ready on the trail and the search
was on. Through the darkness and
a drizzling rain the party sped along.

to the church were Harry S. Brown,
Mrs. Mary Hall and Miss Ruth
Hodgdon. The welcome from the
schools and colleges was given by
President Arthur j. Roberts of Colby
college. Professor E. c.. Mariner
gave the charge to the church and
DIR. 1. B. Mower that to the pastor
while reply was made by Rev. Au-
guste Boquel, pastor of the Second
Baptist church. The delightful mus
ical program was in charge of Cecil
Daggett, L. L. Cadwalader and Wal
ter Berry.
The general committee on the re-
ceptlon was made up of H. L. Emery,
Mrs. A. F. Drummond and Frank
Austin. Other committees were:
decoration, Miss Frances Butler,
Christine Burill, Walter Day and
Walter Berry; refreshments, Ladies'
Social Union, Mrs. George Weed,
president, and reception, Drew T.
Harthorn, Mrs. Cecil Daggett and
Miss Nettie Runnals.
Rev. Mr.. Hass is a native of Iowa
and was graduated from Des Moines
college in 1916. For a time he was
a student in the University of Lon
don. In Waterville Mr.. Hass has
become member of the Lions club
and of the George N. Bourque Post
OF the American Legion.
