The German captain approached him and asked for his surrender. Major Dupont declined to give it and sprang to a gun beâ€" side which his gunners lay dead and trained it upon the enemy. But beâ€" fore he could fire a bullet stretched him across the gun, mortally wounded. All his men stood at their posts waiting. Suddenly the fog lifted and revealed a company of German quickâ€"firers within 1,500 yards of the French position.

A â€" despatch from Angouleme, France, says: The family of Major C. Dupont, of the artillery, has reâ€" ceived news of his heroic death in a recent action. With a regiment of T00 men strong he received orders to take a position in a meadow near a town. There was a dense fogâ€"at the time, through which ominous rumblings were heard, but Major Dupont‘s instructions were urgent. At the Quebec Tercentenary celeâ€" bration in 1908 he was knighted by King George in appreciation of his untiring zeal in working for a greater dominion as a part of a worldâ€"wide Empire Federation. His patriotism was not of the lukewarm or timid variety. In the Fenian Raid of 1866, Sir James was among the first to volunteer, and continâ€" ued on active service for five months. He served in the militia for many years afterwards becomâ€" ing in his retirement Lieutenantâ€" Colonel of the Reserve Militia for the County of Dundas. .Aii;:mnon, the Egyptian, invented the letters in the year 1822 before Christ.

Since acâ€" cepting the control of the destinies of Ontario Sir James demonstrated After he had been nine years in the Legislature, Mr. Whitney was acknowledged to be in the front rank of Conservatives. A vacancy having occurred in the leadership, he was in 1896 unanimously selectâ€" ed to lead the Opposition. On that occasion the people of Dundas tenâ€" dered their representative a pubâ€" lic demonstration of a nonâ€"partisan character, in which Conservatives and Liberals vied with each other in their efforts to honor the rising statesman. In 1886, at the byeâ€"election, Mr. Whitney achieved his first political success. SYince then he grew in the esteem of h‘s constituents. so that he was returned at every succeedâ€" ing election.

Baron Schoen was attached to the German Embassy in Tokio when war was declared by Japan, and was handed his passports by the Tokio Government on that occasion. He recently arrived in the United States, and is now attached to the Embassy here. On his way from Tokio to the United States he was reported as speaking in a vein quite like that of his interview, but little attention was paid to it, as he was not then serving under the Washâ€" ington Embassy. Latest Assertion Is Japan Is Exâ€" specting War With U.S. A _ despatch from Washington says: There is trouble again in the Washington diplomatic camp. This time Baron Wilhelm von Schoen, an attache of the German Embassy, has irritated the Administration by giving out an interview in which he says that the Japanese consider war with the United States inevitable. Becretary Bryan discussed the inâ€" terview with President Wilson, and the State Department called the matter to the attention of the Gerâ€" man Ambassador and asked for an explanation. Beveral statements by foreign dipâ€" lomats here since the beginning of the war have greatly displeased the Administration, but in some resâ€" pects the interview with Baron von Bchoen is regarded as the most ofâ€" fensive of all. The statements conâ€" tained thercin are such as to lead inevitably to the conclusion that if any effect were expected it must be that of inciting the hostility of the American public to Japan, presumâ€" ably in the hope that opinion creatâ€" ed against the Far Eastern nation would be correspondingly favorable to Germany. Belief that the direct Russian adâ€" vance against Germany is rapidly progressing is partially confirmed by an announcement of the Breslau Gazette that the military authoriâ€" ties there have cut all telegraph communication between Breslau, Posen and Liebnitz. This would inâ€" dicate the approach of the Russian armies. There were rumors two days ago that Cossacks have been seen a few miles east of Breslau.

He has conferred the Iron Cross on Herr Bchwartz, president of the Bocial!â€" ist Unions of Bavaria, for bravery on the battlefield. After one day‘s work he insisted on visiting the trenches. This was during the British retreat, and his staff was "hard put to it to prevent the old boy running needless risks." This instance of Sir John‘s per sonal kindness is told. When the Field Marshal left London for Paris he undertook with what those who know him well say is character istic courtesy and simplicity, to convey some small parcels to her little children from a lady, who is a friend of Lady French. These children were stuck in Paris with their governess, and were about to be taken to the south of France with two or three families, similarâ€" ly situated. Break Their Own Record in the Taking of Prisoncrs, A despatch from London says : Heavy fighting is proceeding at dif ferent points to the south of Ant werp.

Never have the Belgians taken so many prisoners in a single battle. Whenever the word went through the ranks that Sir John was around the men cheered him to the echo. After the magnificent tribute which the Field Marshal paid to his men, this testimony on their side shows the inspiration of his personality. This instance of Sir John‘s per Cheer Him to the Echo Whenever General Visits Them. ‘"‘Bir John French is in great health and spirits, and looks twenty years younger than when he went off to war," says a letter from an officer of the British headquarters staff, which has reached London.
