Washington. D. C., April 4.?Of- r
flelhl circles in the national capital si
are looking. forward with great in- ?
terest to tE?Tmpendlng viBlt to this
o
country of a delegation of distin- E
guiHhed Frenchmen who will be the c|
bearers of a national gift of friend- w
ship from the French Republic to R
the United States, consisting of Au- e,
guste Rodin's bust of "La France." tJ
This magnificent bronze bust will be b
presented to the United States as a
token of France's friendship and is p
to be placed at the base of the monu- S)
ment which will be dedicated in f{
June to Samuel 'de Champlaln. E
French narigator and explorer, the tl
tercentenary of whose discovery of 0|
Lake Champlaln was celebrated In
1909.
The delegation Will be headed by T
M. Oabrlel Hanotaux. former For- I.
sign Minlester of France and mem- V
ber of the French Academy, and will "
visit New York, Washington, Philadelphia,
Boston, Lake Champlaln,
Monter&l. Quebec and Niagra Falls,
delivering addresses voicing the
gratitude of France for the numerous
manifestations of friendship by n
the United StateB. The delegation
will sail for New York on the new
sees hip n mnm u> the FiiiMi Hue. *
which will start on Its maiden voyage
April 20.
? What makes this official visit of ci
especial interest is that fact that the d
delegation is headed by M. Hanotaux v.
who is considered one of the most o
brilliant statesmen of France and be- c
lieved to be destined to become Prea- L
(dent of tbe Republic at some time ji
In the near future. M. Hanotaux d
was born at Beaurevoir, a villlage ii
near at. Quentin. France, on Nov- 5
ember 19, 1853. His grandfather
wan a peasant and his father was a &
notary and small land owner. After jo
Gabriel and completed his studies at1 to
the Lyceum of St. Quentin. he went'o
to Paris to study law and entered! C
the School of Charters. He showed!
intense interest in the study of his-: 1'
tory and won distinction by a ttefiis F
ho wrote dealing with the timebf C
Richelieu.
Henri Martin, the historian, who v
,yias a cousin of Gnbrfel Hauotaux's t
father., took tho young man to Gam- [l
,betta who was then at the height of j I
i his power. Gam bet t a obtained for [4
him an appointment in the archives a
and also encouraged him to write on j ci
I various, subjects of a historical and!c
political character for La Republic, uc J*
FranclBs, the paper which Gambettan
had founded and which he still con-j*
trolled. Ilanotaux soon became:!
chief in the department of the arch- t
Ives and also was appointed profes-jl
sorct. the Kcolo des Hautes Etudes. 13
"When Gambetta became premier, l
he made .Hanotauv sub-chief in his '
j cabinet. In 1889 Ilanotaux w as ap- *
pointed councilor to the embassy o? 't
France at Constantinople under Mar- t
quia de Noailles. In the following '
year he was made sub-director of 1
jjTerl>ro(tectorates. and in 1892 he !
was- placed in chargb of the office of
Cannsular and Commercial affaires. I
From that position he was elevated 1
to the position of minister of foreign '
affairs, which be held through a
number of hdmisistratlonB. i

EW JERSEY HAS TWO OTHEllt
STANDARDS CAPTURED
mmuio mm war vTwo
other North Carolina flags,
aptured by New Jersey regim?its
uring the^war between the sections,
wners, according Jo a letter reel
ved today by Adjutant General
einater from W. F. Sadler, Jr., Adutant
General of New Jersey- The
escription of the flags is best given
a the letter which follows:
!y Dear General:
The New Jersey legislature has
uthorized the return to their orlglal
owners of all the Confederate
attle flags that fell Into the hands
f New Jersey regiments during the
:ivil War.
In our collection is one that beonged
to the Second North Carolina
tcgiment, and taken in the battle at
'hancellorsvifle. May 2. ,1863.
There Is another flag here that
re think may possibly ha\e belonged
0 a North Carolina organization,
'bis flag is one of the "Stars and
lars" type. It win, originally 7 feet
1 Inches long by 4 feet 3 inches wide.
Lnd was made from a lady's shawl oi
Iress. The stars or thp blue field
? the obverse side are cut out
rhite silk and sewed on. On tht
vhite bar on this side are the wordt
'Surry Marksmen" embroidered it
"cRow silk. In the center of the
duo field on the reverse side 's i
arm single star embroidered wit!
'cllow silk. Above the star, on:
troldercd with the same material
tre the words "Car In th?
^icld." The flag is torn so that thr>r,.
ire but three letters of the firs]
vord remaining. We think that 1
nay have been "Carolines in th<
iteW." Below the star are th<
t-ords "TraitorB Beware "
It 1b probably that the Surrj
Marksmen lost their local identitj
>y being mustered into some regl
nent.
Will you kindly have your record!
tearched and inform me If there wai
inch an organization from youi
itate? If this flag belonged to Nortl
Carolina, It will afford me grea
jleasnre to make arangementa for Iti
wturn to ita proper place througl
ron, along with the flag of the 8eo

' such. Mrs. J. T. Lewis being 'oread
' to resign on account of ill health iu
! the family. The society was very

and efficient in this wcri:. s-vural J
1 pinna and ideas were -discussed foi
? th" financial "betterment of the

Ion read a very interesting sketch
* of John W. Wesley's great deeds of
i gift to the causa of Chrl9t which
' was greatly on joyed. This plan of
t reading by some of the members j
! each lai'i'tinK was art on ted The
President suggested that instead of '.'jj
ihe roll call of scripture verses being
' taken at random from the^Biblc
' that she introduce a subject each
week for the following meeting and
that each verse repeated would be
i touching on this subject. This wan
? adopted. The first fruit of the Spiritr
which is "Love" will be Monday's
i topic. These ladies aro doing a

i the real backbone of the church.
