Frenchman Collect Actually Took Fake Command of Army
p.
BY ]. p. GLASS.

Prince Of liars, 30 imaginative and
deft that he has won a place in French
history, was Anthelme Collet.
His father was a cabinet maker, his
mother seamstress. His mother was
widowed when he was 8.
Already devoted to idlenesS and thiev-
cry, Anthelme went to live with his
grandfather, but got into so much
trouble he was transferred to an uncle
who later took the boy In charge and
put him in military school. He finally
entered the army as lieutenant.
His first army experience brought
him a wound. This disguised him
with the army. He decided to get out of
it and to enter the -church-but only to
use it for his own ends.
While he lay in the hospital a
brother officer died after turning over to
him all his money to be given to his
wife. Anthelme kept the money, de-
serted from the army and entered
church institution.
In two years he received the tonsure.
Given the task Of making collections,
he kept 1000 crowns belonging to the
church. Adding this to the 1000 francs
he had stolen from the dead officer, he
forged passport, went to Naples, and
set himself up as the Marquis Dada.
He proceeded to Rome, where he
forged papers gained him admittance
to the best society. A merchant dis
counted for him bill of exchange for
10000 francs. A banker advanced him
10000 crowns. Then, after getting
$4,000 francs worth of jewels from a
dealer he decamped.
His system now called for obScurity.
He went to Switzerland and became APP
prentice to a printer. But he secretly
had made for him the uniforms of
general and a commissary of war and
also complete bishops dress.
He first embarked on new adven-
ture as an able. Then he accepted a
curacy at Monestier. There he won the
love Of all his parishioners and got
them to subscribe to rebuild the church.
They did, literally, and never saw him
again.
After acting for a time the part of
general of brigade. Anthelme disguised
himself as bishop and set himself up
at Nice as Mgr. Pasqualini He so i'm

Mr.. Wrinkle entered place marked
Surgery" to inquire his way. He
knocked on the counter to attract at

In his hand, glided quietly into the
shop, and, stepping behind the counter
requested to know the visitors pleas

II am sorry to trouble you, sir" said
Mr.. Wrinkle, "but will you have the
goodness to direct me to"
'Ha, ha, ha," roared the studious
young gentleman, throwing the large
book UP into the air, and catching it
with great deXterity at the very mo-
atoms all the bottles on the counter.
Here's a start"
There was, without doubt; for Mr..
Wrinkle was so very much astonished at
the extraordinary behavior of the medi-
cal gentleman that he involuntarily
retreated toward the door and looked
very much disturbed at his strange re-
ception.
why, don't you know me?" said the
medical gentleman.
Mr.. Wrinkle murmured in reply that
he had not that pleasure.
"Why, then" said the medical gen.
tleman, "there are hopes for me yet;

Bristol if I've decent luck. Get out,
you moldy old villain. get out" With
this adjuration, which was addressed
to the large book, the medical gentle
man kicked the volume with remarkable
agility to the further end of the shop
and, pulling of his green spectacles,
grinned the identical grin of Robert
Sawyer, Esq, formerly of Guys Hos
pital, whom Mr.. Wrinkle had known
when he was studying to become a
doctor.

pressed the local bishop that that dig
nitary asked him to celebrate mass and
even had him ordain 60 young aspi-
rants to various orders in the church.
At %, Anthelme went to Paris. His
money running low. he obtained new
funds by making collections as monk
OF the order of st. Augustine.
1t was 1912. Napoleon was fighting
in Russia. Anthelme made himself an
inspector general and went with false
commission to reorganize the army OF
CATALONIA in Southern France, with full
power over the public treasury.
He was discovered, convicted and SEN
fenced, but escaped. However, the real
estate swindles on which he now en-
barked finally obtained him sentence
of 20 years imprisonment.
He died just before his sentence was
to expire AS a convict he always had
had plenty of money. though whence it
came no one could discover.

Teacher as Group Leader.

Those who are enthusiastic about the
new psychology (and among them is
Mr.. H. G. Wells, who compares this
reconstruction of our methods of US
ing our minds and of education" to
what has occurred in transportation or
metallurgy in the last hundred years
as the result of steel, steam and cleo
tricity, and who believes that the next
hundred years will be essentially a
century of applied psychology think
that it Is going to make not only new
man and new woman, but a new
parent and a new child, and above all
a new teacher. OF all I believe the
last nearest to realization and most
essential. I never liked the word teach
err; it puts the emphasis on the wrong
function. I have at times said to an
audience of teachers that there are
only two kinds of pupilS-thoSe that
learn without teaching and those who
don't learn with it. The new teacher
knows very well that her main func-
ton Il wish I could say his main
function as easily is not to impart
knowledge, not even to help the pupils
to learn for themselves land the first
isn't to be neglected and the second Is
very importantly, but to direct the
growth of her charges so that they de-
velop in the best possible manner. The

To this end he or she-for now it is
essential for the sake of the boys and
the girls as well to include both-must
possess those qualities which the pupils
have not yet had the opportunity to
develop, not to the same extent, and
not on the same scale. One of these
qualities looks backward, and we call
it experience; and the other looks for
ward and We may call it foresight.
Children naturally live intensely in the
present; their view is to be extended
not impose his experience nor his an
ticipation upon them; as a group leader
he is to get them to profit by their own
experience and anticipate their own
next steps. And since in some respects

RETROCESSION IS DEBATED
AT LYON PARK GATHERING
Speakers Advance Arguments for and
Against Return of Arlington County
to the District.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LYON PARK, Va, June 20.-Speak-
ing last night before a large audience
at a debate sponsored by the Lyon Park
Woman's Club. j.. Cloyo ByarS, prom
inent attorney of Arlington County,
stated that while 1T was highly desira-
bic for the citizens to fully discuss all
phases of the proposal for retrocesSlon
of Arlington County to the District OF
Columbia, it, after all, was legal CUES
ton and would have TO be decided by
the Supreme Court of the United
States"
He briefly traced the history of tile
establishment of the l0-mile square
area by George Washington, Thomas
Jefferson and other politicians OF the
period which was accepted by the Con-
gress and became the seat Of the Gov
eminent Of the United States.
Foresaw Need.
Mr.. Byars pointed out that Wash
ington, in his vision, foresaw the need
of an area of 10 miles square for the
needs OF the National Capital. 1t is
fast outgrowing its present boundaries;
ae said. and will need considerably more
territory to provide for its growth In
1S46 the decision of what is now Ar
lington County was said to have been a
great mistake and constitutional law
yers. according to the speaker, have
since declared the act to be unconstl-
tuLional.
The generous attitude of Congress in
appropriating money for the Memorial
Bridge in allowing the use OF the water
supply of the District. the establishment
OF the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission and other important
items was attributed by Mr.. Byars TO
the feeling among members OF that
body that this TERRITORY was part OF
the District and would come back OF its
own accord
ballot and the county officials and asked
his opponent if they represented his
views on the recent proposal to erect
an abattoir in the county and IN MS
fieht against the signboards. The ques-
ton to be determined Is whether the
area is to be gobbled up piecemeal by
Alexandria or go back into the Dlstrlct.
Benefits to BE Enjoyed.
Direct benefits which would be en-
loved. according to Mr.. ByarS, would
oe lower automobile tax, adjustment
of the income tax on incomes up to
So. 900. lower license taxes, reduction IN
water rents, cheaper telephone, electric
light and gas rates, lower street car
fares. all of which he said could never
be enjoyed by the residents of Airing
ton County. He also cited the differ
ence III the rate of tax on real estate.
In the District the rate is Sl.7O per
SlDO valuation while the rate in Airing
ton County is $3.50 to $3.50 per 500,
Upon questioning by the audience the
speaker admitted that the assessed
value in the District was on 100 per
cent market valuation, while that In
Arlington County was approximately 20
per cent, and all special improvements
in the District, such as concrete streets,
sidewalks, sewers, water, curbing, alleys,
ETC. are paid for out of special assess
ments levied by the Commissioners.

speaking in opposition to the proposal,
admitted that county residents pay
more for automobile tax. but said that
they chose to do that. BY public
referendum the voters of Virginia de-
cided to adopt the pay as you go" plan
of building roads, and one trip over the
road to Richmond now in comparison
with former conditions saves the motor
list any difference in tax. While the tax
rate in the District is lower. he said,
the taxpayer would not only pay on
the 100 per cent valuation, but the as
SCISSORS OF the District would add con-
siderable increase in value in determin-
ing the amount of the tax to be paid.
The speaker said fine road was being
built along Mount Vernon avenue and
would not cost the residents of the
Gratis in the District Building would fix
the price and the work would cost the
top figure.
Mr. Campbell said he realized that
the county government had been guilty
Of many shortcomings. but II Is the same
form as the District. Both have the COM
mission form, which is admitted to be
one of the best. Our trouble" he said,

Law Enforcement Involved.
One of the most important questions
involved, Mr. Campbell said, was law
o. Tn
liquor law, but all law enforcement. He
said the time had come when the people
will have to decide whether to give prior
consideration to the criminal or the law
to prevent crime. Re cited recent case
tried in the District resulting in a con-
viction for an offenSe which had been
committed in 1927. He also said more
than 1000 eases had been recently
dropped In the District courts for many
different reasons, all of which were due
to the delay and slowness of court pro-
cedure. AS q contrast he cited several
cases in which criminals had been tried
in Virginia, convicted, the case appealed
and conviction confirmed within 90
days. He called attention also to the
fact that one-fourth of the police force
of the District had been before the trial
board. The speaker said he meant no
criticism of the people of the District.
