Story of Her Accnt When we made the ascent of Mount As-,1 As-,1 dboine we started fron- our camp at thrje o clock in the morning After about an l;onr'S walk along the lake- and across tha mtc.dows we came to the foot of the cliffs ntuh rise about 1,000 feet In height and Mch underlie tho gl&cler at the foot if i I e mountains. "Here the party for safety was roped together, to-gether, and the actual hard climbing st.nt. d The first hour was devoted to a rather stiff . limb over tho facs of the cliff. There were several pas.sagcs -which were to say the least, difficult and one of them in particular prpTed exceptionally Interesting. In getting over this one we found It necessary to pass directly through a waterfall, an experience which proved thrilling and constitute,: part of the great game. . "When the top of the cliffs had- been reached wu proceeded across the glacier on the comparatively easy slopes for about one-hair one-hair mile to the foot of Ihe northeast hrldge of the mountain, the steep cliff towerlns 1.000 feet abOVe us and 'making a foi midufile impression In the mbvniug llRht. "The route which we had TfhOSBI la one i hat is considered as the most difficult ap-prosi ap-prosi h to the summit an l one ti .(t had bi I i d only once or -twice before, .-or five hour. we i limbed steadiiy up this ridge, s. metlmes working our way out onto the face of the mountain and again going up op the yen face of the ridge.

"Kor about one hundred feet we had to extend ourselves lo the utmost in negotiating negotiat-ing a red band of rock which extended across the entire face of the mountain In certain ports this gave us a very ha id tussle, hut I stood It riuite as well as the men.

DeictDt Fully a. Difficult. "Although the sky was clear and the Weather mild, a strong wind swept the summit sum-mit and drove us down to a sheltering rock, from where the descent was begun after an hour's rest. Going down was almost as difficult and quite as slow as the ascent, owing to the danger from falling rocks and the steepness which compelled us to pick cur way with care. At last the glacier was reached and the steep cliffs negotiated, Including In-cluding a second baptism in the waterfall water-fall "We reached camp at 1:30, after an absence ab-sence of twelve hours, ten of which were occupied ir. the actual climb Beyond a sense of wearlnes?. I had no worse results from the climb than a fresh coat of tan and some damage lo my costume."

This was the last great assault ot the war. While the A.

Gen Fayolle, as has been hinted ia not a spectacular soldier. He belongs to the professional pro-fessional typo of officer whom Foch turned out In his professorship In the Ecolo de Guerre When he taught there, also. Fayolle aimed to turn out men who were good soldiers, sol-diers, but also fine strategists men grounded 'i every side of tho sc ience of war.
