Monsieur Briand paid especial'
■
tribute to Dr. Streseman before lus j

part of the world is an act which !
causes prejudice to the interest
of my country.” He added r

pendence of nations imposes ,
on
every statesman that he takes for i
himself this memorable ,word of
President Coolidge.”

i Emile Fayolle, Marshall of France
| and one of the great French sol
< diers that the World War produc
ed, died here this morning.
He commanded the group of ar
mies, including two American divis
ions, which, between Soissons and
Chateau Thierry, on June 18,
’
struck the powerful blow that start
ed the military power of the Ger
man Empire rocking.
Ke was the greatest booster
American soldiers ever had
military men in .France.
The American soldiers who, with
the Senegalese and Moroccan
visiori formed the end of the wedge!
driven into the German lines
tween Soissons and Chateau Thie
in July, 1918, were the
any soldiers ever gotten
er in any army at anv time in tiye
history of the world." he once
“They were the finest men phy
s'cally that I have ever seen, brave
and of courage amounting at times
to temerity and which had to be
restrained instead of fanned.”
Marshall Fayolle was born at
Puy, in the Department of the
Haute Loire. May 14. 1852
His parents chose for him a mil
itary career in which he entered at
first without enthusiasm. He would
have preferred to become a writer.
At the Polytechnic School, which j
he joined in 1873, he decided to I
devote jaefijai attention to artill
ery
A first lieutenant in 1877 he was
a captain at thirty years of age,
rather a rare occurance in the
French Army. Fayolle was needed
as a teacher in the "Ecole Superi
eure de la Guerre" ‘(Superior School
War) and thus in order that his}
rank might impress his 'youthful |
scholars, was created a lieutenant
colonel in 1901.
Fayolle was made a colonel in, in'
1907 and a brigidier general
1910, in command of the 12th Ar-!
my Corps then stationed at Cler-!
mond Ferrand. I
When the great war broke out, i
the only active service in the field |
that Brigadier General Fayolle had
seen, was a short six months’ cam
paign against rebels in Tusisia from
April to November 1881, as a first
lieutenant.
Promoted to a General of Divis
ion—then highest rank in the
French Army—in 1915 Fayolle suc
cessively commanded the 33rd Army
Corps, the 4th and 1st Army during
1915 and 1916. On the first of May
1917, he took command of the Group
of Armies of the Centre, facing Crown the j |
armies of the German
Prince.
Sent to Italy in command of the
French troops after Caporetto, he
the morals of France's Al
lies and only returned to France in
the spring of 1918 when he was j
in charge of the (Group ofj
Armies being assembled to assume j
the counter offensive in July. The
rest is history. He was in command:
of the troops which entered Metz, (
Trier and Mayence after the Armls
tlce.
He always kept religiously away
from politics.
Fayolle was cited tour times to
the order of the Army. First on
June 2, 1915, when he. was made of
ficer of the Legion of Honor: then
in October. 1916, when created
Grand Officer; July, 1919, In con
nection with his elevation to Grand
Cross of the Legion of Honor.
His last citation and the one he
treasured most was signed "George

This was in October. 1919. when he
was awarded the Medatlle Mllitaire.

I
REFUSE TO IDENTIFY HI
George Hilton, alias Walter C.
Jaynes, who is bring held in the
Lockport, N. Y. Jail on a bad
check charge, has written a let
ter to Miss Leila Penn, the Grif
fin girl w-iom he deserted after
marrying her, asking her to have
pity on him and "help him out
of this scrape."
Hliton, as the man is known
in Griffin, admits in the letter
that he has a living wife from
whom he has been divorced and
four children. He begs Miss Penn
to "come up here and if you
love me tell the police I’m not
thr man who is wanted in Grif
fin.
Hillon admits in the letter
that his real name t* Walter C.
Jaynes and promises if Miss
Penn will help him “get oat"
that he. Will attempt to make
things “ok” after he is free.
Letter Smuggled Oat
The letter from Hilton was sent
from the Lockport jail to his sis
ter-in-law. Mrs. Crawford, of Akron,
Ohio, and mailed from there special
delivery to Miss Penn. Mrs. Craw
ford also wrote a letter begging Miss
Penn to help "her brother" out *
his trouble.
Hilton In his letter admits that
he was married when he came to
Griffin, that he had been married
but a short while and that his four
children were in a Methodist or
phanage in Ohio.
When his first wife, the mother
of his four children, died, Hilton
writes "he was sorter torn up
running around with women H e
says that he finally “married that
girl” but left her shortly after the
wedding and had not secured a di
vorce.
He says that his love for Miss
Penn caused him to go ahead and
marry her but that all the while he
was "worrying about his four chil
dren, “Finally” he writes he de
cided to leave Grifin and make ev
erything "Will right with the girl he
aeserted.
All through Hilton's letter he at
tempts to explain why he was led
to marrying Miss Penn and then de
serting her. "I walked the floor at
nights trying to figure out a way to
clear things up. I suppose I should
have told you all but I couldn't,”
he states. *
Went To Akron
According to Hilton's letter he
went to Akron. Ohio, from Griffin
driving through the country. Then
he went to Buffalo. N. V.. and “got
in trouble.”
Hilton’s fouf Children ary two
girls 11 and 3 and two boys 9 and 7,
he writes. They are now being look
ed out for by his sister in law at
Akron.
Throughout Hilton's letter,
which Is a doxen pages long, the
man fails to express one word of
concern about the Griffin girl he
deserted after his fake marriage
to her and pleads for her to help
|im out of the trouble.
This thing has gone so far that
I don’t know whether you can
get me out, but if you will drop
everything and come up here
and tell the police, after you
have seen me, that I am not the
man wanted, 1 suppose they will
turn me loose. Then if you will
stay here until I can clean up all
this trouble and get a divorce
from that other woman 1 am
married to, I’LL marry you again
and we ean begin all over, is the
jist of the long letter to Miss
Penn.
Hilton suggests lit hts letter to Miss
Penn that she write him and mail
the letter to his slater in law at Ak
ron and that the letter will be then
sent to him by her, for “they watch
all mall here and I don't want them
to know that you are writing to me",
he writes.'
Hilton, alias Jaynes, is being held
in the Lockport jail, waiting for ac
tion by the grand pury on a bad
check charge. Papers for his return
to Orlffin will be forwarded at once
and he will be brought here for trial
on many charges filed against him.
Miss Leila Penn, one of the most
popular young women in Ortfln, who
was tricked into marriage by Hilton
fice, in which I was assistant to
my,late husband, that the candida
cy of Judge John J. Hunt, of Grif
fin, appeals to me. I am strength
ened in this by his recent state
ment, in which he strongly advo
cated better provision for Confed
erate Pensioners, and prompt pay
ment of all pensions when they are
due. pointing out that every other
Southern 8tate pays better pen
sions than Georgia and pays them
promptly.
"I would gratefully appreciate
the support of Judge Lindsey's
friends in behalf of Judge 'Hunt'.”
