€ - WESLEYAN OBTAINS EXCELLENT EXHIBIT Historial War Medals Shown at University Museum Middietown, March 29.—One of the most attractive exhibits the Museum of Wesleyan University is a collection of historical medals pre- sented by Stephen Henry Olin, LL.D., of New York city, a member of the board of trustees and son of a former president of the college. In this collection, the medals illustrative of French history, are in' general of very peautiful workmanship. Most or the French medals were struck at the National mint (1Hotel des Mon- najes). The mint was founded in the reign of Charles the Bald, In the ninth century, and the building in which it s now located dates from the eighteenth century. In a recent visit to Ffrance, Mr. Olln purchased twenty-one French medals referring to the Great War, and has presented them to the mu- seum. Most of these medals are in homor of particular persons, or in mmemoration of particular events In the war. Others serve to express | various phases of national feeling in reference to the war in general. Two of these medals commemorate the first battle of the Marne, in which the tide of German conquest was ar- rested when it seemed on the point of overwhelming the capital and the French nation. One of these bears the portraits of Joffre, Gallieni and Foch the heroes of the decisive battle One medal commemorates the battlc of the Yzer, which saved the ports on the English Channel. On one side soldiers are shown wading on the flooded plain. Two medals com- memorate the persistent and success- ful defense of Verdur. One of them bears the portraits of Petain, Nivelle, and Castelnau, and that motto which is destined to historic immortality— “On ne passe pas.” A pair of very beautiful medals commemorate the deliverance of the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine. ‘These medals bear on the obverse, fe- male heads with picturesque head- dress, presumably an adaptation of peasant costumes in those provinces. On the reverse of the Alsace medal Appears appropriately the cathedral of Strasbourg. Another medal, also bearing the picture of the cathedral, commemorates the restoration of the City of Strasbourg to France. One medal commemorates the en- trance of America Into the war. On one side America is welcomed by France and England, the three coun- tries being represented by female fig- ures. The other side of the medal bears a portrait of Woodrow Wilson. No less than four of the medals show the portrait of Foch, the su- preme military hero of the war. The only French civilians whose portraits appear in the series of medals are Clemenceau and Deschanel. One medal of great historic inter- est bears the portrait of Turenne, the great French commander in the reign of Louis XIV, and the words of Tu- renne in which he expressed the am- bition which the French people have cherished for centuries: “Il ne faut pas qu’fl y ait un homme d’armes au repos tant qu'un Allemand restera de ce cote du Rhin.” One medal commemorates the vir- tues and patriotic services of French womanhood. Two of the medals rep- resent Jeanne d'Arc, whose influence on the soul of the French people was & very real factor In their victory. A large medallion on which appears a head of youthful beauty, crowned with a helmet wreathed in laurel, bears no inscription, but represents the spirit of “France Victorieuse.” AUCTION I will sell for Elijah Rogers, South- ington, Conn., Thursday, March 31st, 1921, at 10:30 a. m. 45 Cattle (the Entire Herd) Consisting of 33 Holstein and Guern- #ey cows in the various stages of milk.

New York, March 29.—The New York Times' Washington correspond- ent, according to that newspaper, has information, of a character sufficient- ly definite to furnish good ground for credence, that Willlam H.

This information was not obtained as a consequehce of Mr. Taft's visit to Washington last week when he saw President Harding and Attorney Gen- eral Daugherty, and probably will come as a surprise to Mr. Taft's friends, who had been somewhat blue wover what they believed was the pros- pect that he would not be appointed chiet justjce. 36 DEGREE Mercury in Pennsylvania Falls from 76 to 40 in Four Hours.
