He w is born on Aug. 4, 1851, at Tarb-is, a little city in the Pyrenees, where his father held an administrative post. His education was obtained in provincial cities and at the Ecole Polytechnique, which he entered in 1871. He passed through various garrisons as an aitillery officer and in 1884 was admitted to the Ecole de Guerre as a student. Twelve years later, ranking then as a Major, he returned to the Ecole de Guerre as an instructor. After five years in this professorship, in which he showed brilliant powers and exercised a great influence over the studehts, he was sent back to the line as a Lieutenant Colonel. In 1907 he was transferred, as a Brigadier General, to the post for which he was pre-eminently marked out, that of Commandant of the Ecole de Guerre, where for four years he worked to increase the efficiency of that institution. Later he was given the post of honor of the French Army, the 20th Corps, Headquarters, Nancy. There the war found him. Doctors Seek Co operation. At the meeting recently of the York Medical association the following resolutions were adopted: Resolved: That we the undersigned physicians of York count} do hereby offer our services tt our country, and are willing tt apply for commissions wher called upon by the State committee, or other authorized agency. The order was passed by the York County Medical Society at a meeting August 1st, 1918, also the following: We the physicians of York County, S. C.. do wish to briny it before the public and to our patients that now as the war is thinning our ranks and making it harder on the ones left at home, we are asking as a favor now (which a little later will be a necessity) that you help us. This you can do by not calling us unhss necessary, especially at nigh', as a physician is not a machine and is obliged to have his rest if you wish him to be tip to standard. Then again a great many can come to the doctor's office for examination arid treatment. This will save both time for the doctor and nionev for the Datient as office work is not as high as visits.

The chamber was about six feet high, six feet in width and eight feet long and was dug by the negroes and had been occupied by them, according to their statement, since March 25. All the dirt removed by the excavation had been carted awav. The only articles in the apartment were the unifoims of the deserters and a few quilts to sleep on. When found the negroes were slow to come out of their den, ,but a little parleying convinced them of the futility of their resistance. Their (only weapon was an unloaded pistol.
