age. rather a rare occurrence in the French Army. Fayolle was needed as a teacher in the "Ecole Superieure de la Guerre' (Super- for School of War) and thus in order that his rank might impress his youthful scholars. was created a lieutenant colonel in 1901.
 Fayolle was made colonel in 1907 and a brigadier general in 1910. in command of the 12th Army Corps then stationed al Glermond Ferrand.
 When the great war broke out, the only active service in the field that Brigadier General Fay ole had seen, was short SIX months campaign against rebels in Tunisia from April to Novem- ber 1881. as a first lieutenant.
 Promoted to a General of Divis- ion-then the highest rank in the French Army-in 1915, Fayolle sue cessively commanded the 33rd Army Corps, the 4th and fst Army during 1915 and 1916. On the Centre. facing the armies of the German Grown Prince.
 Sent To Italy
 Sent to Italy in command of the French troops after Caporetto, he restored the morale of Frances allies and only returned to France in the spring of 1918 when he was placed in charge of the Group of Armies being assembled to assume the counter offensive in July. The rest is history. He was in com mand of the troops which enter ed Metz, Trier and Mayence after the Armistice.
 Hc always kept religiously away from politics.
 Fayolle was cited four times 10 the order of the Army. First on June 2, 1915, when he was made officer of the Legion of Honor; then in October, 1916, when creat- ed Grand Officer; July, 1918, in connection with his elevation to Grand Cross of the Legion of Hon. or.
 His last citation and the one he treasured most was signed by Georges Clemenceau and written entirely in the Tigers own hand writing. This was in October, 19t9. when he was awarded the Metallic Mlitaire.
 The citation is short and in real Clemenceau style:
 Marvellous soldier, who since 1914 has never ceased to fight against the enemy In 1918, caught the enemy by the throat and took preponderant part in victory. Di- rected the operations of his armies with a keeness of judgment, de- cision and a sense of the realities of the times that were incompara- bye. He has the greatest titles to the gratitude of his country"
 When Fayolle was created a Marshal of France in 1921, the above citation was read again be- fore the assembled troops.
 Fayolle's eyes were filled with tears as he turr ed to General Lyautey who was standing next to him, just previous to receiving himself the insignia of Marshal of France, and said:
 "These are the words l should like to have inscribed on my tomb stone"

Hard and timely hitting gave the Business men a 9-4 win over the Standard Steel team in an Inlustrial baseball league game at the High school grounds last evening and sent the Nictors into a tie for sec ond place. Bill Cunningham pitch od a nice game for the merchants, flaming seven batters and holding the Bearing Makers scorcless until found for three uncarned runs but coasled to an easy win. Gacobellis, the losing pitcher. was the only man to hit Cunningham successfully. He had a perfect day at bat and made half the Standard steel's hits. Billy Tolli led tho winners attack with three timely singles in as many trips to the plate
 Billy Tolli started things right away by getting a hit and scoring when Joyce fumbed Crampton's s drive. With one away in the second Sataline was safe on an error but was caught at third. Thral. however, in ms hrst time at bat this year, was "beaned' by Yacobellis. Joyce erred again on Bugbee's roller. and Gun ningham and Tolli hit safely to make it 40. Tn the third the winners went on a spree. Smith was safe on an error, LaBonne singled, Down. ham walked, and Sataline and Thrall bafted for base apiece. Bugbee fam ned. but Cunningham and Tolli again came through and the score was 90.
 In the fourth the losers made their big splurge after errors by Crampton and Buebee had put two on. Yacohel- lis singled, Dulac sacrificed, and Guir hit for two sacks. Toli fumbled Ticker's grounder but no damage was done by this misplay. Fregaus double. a sacrifice by Nick Tolli, and another hit by Yacohellis gave the standard Steel its last run. The box score:

combe County should prove that it is
never too late to learn. The middle
aged and elderly men and women there,
attending only late afternoon and eve
ming classes, have made exactly the
same progress, year by year. as children
in the primary grades. They actually
have learned to read and write more
easily than their grandchildren at the
foot of the ladder of life.
Undergoing New Birth.
SO everywhere the schoolhouse Is un-
dergoing new birth. DR.. Alderman
explains it this way: Every school
building represents a certain invest
ment When it stands idle it is yield
ing no return. The same is true of a
public museum. The only way to meas
ure the return on the investment is by
the number of visitors attracted. In a
community where the majority of the
people cannot read or write, the func-
ton of the schoolhouse is, Of course, to
devote all its attention to them. But
in other communities why stop with the
children when there Is field for educa-
ton so much richer among the adults?
In this new renaissance which is
coming to America the village school,
with the village library adjacent to it,
will be the peoples university-where

Will, and where the school teacher. the
doctor, the lawyer, the editor and the

Ace Seeks to Be Learned

regardless Of status in life or means of

pertinent was described here last week
by Chauncey j. Hamlin, president OF
the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences,
who mas taken a prominent part in It's
development. Here Is a typical north
ern industrial city with a diversified
population, including large blocks of
first and second generation European
stock. The center of the experiment is

have co-operated generously with ex-
tension courses lectures, etc. But CO.
ordinated with this in the general
the Science Museum, the Buffalo His
torical Society Museum the Canis,us
scheme is the Buffalo Fine Arts Gallery,
College Museum and the City Geological
Park. The public schoolhouses have
been drawn into use as claSsrooms in
this city university.
The Cleveland project Is on an even
more extensive scale, as described by
Frederic A. Whiting, director of the
Cleveland Museum of Art. 1t also is
grouped around the city university with
the faculty as the leaders, but with all
the museums, libraries and public
schools of the city as essential parts
Other cities are preparing to follow out
the same idea. The various institutions
have existed as things apart for years,
each attracting only its own limited
group of patrons while the populace III
