He was a remarkably bril- liant leader, notably in the Champagne in 191 5, and in his defense of \'erdun in 19 17. It was at \'erdun that his army accepted as their watchword the old Garibaldian crv, "They shall not pass." Petain's de- fense of Verdun will forever live in song and story. His triumphal entry into Metz was a memorable event in the annals of France, and it was tlien that Petain was made Marshal of France. Just before the World \\'ar, General Fayolle had retired, but was called back into service. He helped to win the "Grand Couronne de Nancy" and some of the first battles of Artois. He was with General Petain's .Army at Carency in 191 q. and a short time later received the command of the Sixth .Army. He was in command of the detachment which finally freed Verdun. General Fayolle is recognized as one of the great- est artillery experts in the world. In 19 17 he was in command of the French reinforcements in Italy. During P'och's great campaign.

Mereier His Kminence, Cardinal Mereier, Archbishop of Mahnes ami Primate of Belgium, was the life and hope of that country during the terrible invasion of Belgium by the Germans. His name will be for- ever enrolled in historic fame. With wonderful courage he iletied the Kaiser and his arnn, and sustained his people to endure the bit- terest years of hatred and oppression. His pastoral letter of Christmas, 19 14, inspired the admiration of the whole world. Cardinal Mereier is a scholar of great distinc- tion, and was President of the University of Lou- wain until he was made a Cardinal in 1907. Madame Catherine Breshkovsky Madame Breshko\sky belonged to a noble Rus- sian family. She left her husband, her family and friends because there had soimded in her heart the trumpet call to a greater service. Mme. Breshkovsky is known as "The Little Cirandmother of the Russian Re\olution," and has cheerfully borne suffering and exile for the love of the Russian people. She has spent thirty years in Russian prisons, and yet her spirit is not broken. After the re\-olution of 19 17, she was released from exile, and later came to this country, lecturing on behalf of the Russian people. A fund was started in this country, known as the "Catherine Breshkov- sky Russian Relief Fund," which is to be used for the building of schools in Russia. Mme. Breshkovsky is now de\oting her strength to the orphans of Russian Carpathia at LV.horod. 12 Di. Frunct'scn .V;'/// Prime Minister of Italy, I'M'l-itl.

In IQ17 he came to the L nitetl States as a mem- ber of the Italian Mission.

After such brilliant successes, General Diaz re- cei\-ed that promotion which ultimately led to his being matle Commander-in-Chief. He was especialK talented as an organi/ei" and was a man of volcanic energy. His military experience embraced practicall\- all branches of the ser\'ice. His character as a sol- dier was that of an inflexible disciplinarian who ap- plied to himself the same rules that he enforced on others. 13 4.^^^-^j. Hun.

Ele//ther/os Ve///zelos Eleutherios \'enizelos, equipped with a gocxi ecJu- cation gained in Greece and Swit/erlaiKJ, plunged into Cretan politics at an early age, and became recognized as the strong man of the Island both in peace and war. In 1909 \'enizelos assumed the leadership in the revolution against Turkey and soon accjuired a strong hold over the Greek people. L'ndcr his statesmanship, Greece grew mightily in power and esteem. It was \'enizelos more than any other who wrote her Constitution. ^'enizelos won for Greece his native Crete and half of Macedonia. During the World War he won Thrace, the Smyrna region of Asia Minor, and the Aegian Islands. During the war Premier \'enizelos was the virtual ruler of Greece, and was her repre- sentative at the Peace Conference. Since then he has been driven from Greece and is now in exile. Pres/de//t Tho///as G.

At the outbreak of the World War, Prof. Masaryk escaped from Austria and headed the Czecho-Slovak revolt. He was proscribeci h\ the ^'ienna Cioxernment, his property confiscated, and his family persecuted. He made his way to America by way of Siberia. While in the United States, in May, 19 18, Prof. Masaryk was elected first President of the new Re- public of Czecho-Slowakia.

Dr. Shidehara entered the go\ernment ser\'ice on his graduation from the law college of the I okyo Imperial L'ni\ersity in 1891;, and has been in ofHce ever since. He served in China and Kngland, and was for some time councillor at the embassy at \\'ashington, being transferred there from London and was subsequentK' named Minister to Holland. Shortly after the outbreak of the war, Dr. Shide- hara was recalled to China to be \'ice-Foreign Min- ister, and during the war he handled all Interna- tional problems de\-eloped by the war. Albert Hon ore Charles Prince of Monaco Perhaps the most unusual and probabh the most scientihc ami democratic ol all the pAiropean so\-er- eigns, is Albert, the I'nncc of Monaco. Oceanography is the branch of science to which he has de\'oted his life. Pew men ha\e done more work in a single held of science than he, in explor- ing the ocean depths. During the war he rendered imaluable ser\-ice in charting the ocean, and submitting calculations on the direction in which floating mines were tlrifting in the oceans. In April, 1920, the Prince came to this country to receive the Alexander Agassi/, gold medal, the highest recognition of the National Academy of Science, and also a metlal from the National (jeo- graphic Society.
