Age His Only FauITT*
The si owing-up of the battle of the
Somme without a distinguished-allied
success, has been u great disappolnt-
, ment to Fiance. Rut few Frenchmen
blame JofTre for this. Criticism of him
hus to find comfort in the fact that he
is old, that he fought in the Francu-
Prussian war, and that his driving
force theoretically shoul^l be exceeded
by that of a younger man. v
He Is one of a group of great
French leaders who got their earlier
training lii ihe 1870-71 struggle with
Germany. The others of the group
include the one-armed hero, General
PAu, and General Fbch, who has been

The present war has brought to the
fore certain younger officers. Men w ho
were only colonels or less when the
struggle commenced are now; com
manding army groups. Paris politi
cians of the intriguing sort have been-.
■ demanding for some timo that ihe obl-
. .ep'leaders step aside an’&iot the young-.
stgrs""sliow what they can do. v
Bu^ nothing that muy happen can

safe to say that a vote by either -tfie
'soldiers *.orthe civilians of France
would contimfe him in Hu* post be lias
held „Kirfce ;i9ll. \ •
In. Mint y^gr the archaic French mlll-
tury .organization started toward re
form. The army\was to have its first
real 'commander ft}, chief in many
years. Cabinet, army leaders and the
people alike milk'd in llie demand that
r
this position go to General Patli ' '
But Pau, the patriot-. standing in a
great council, Uortinyd tlie honor.
Pointing to .Ioffre, he said:, "There
stands the'only possibly mail."
So JofTre was selegjed, because Pau
wanted him-us bis superior. The choice
was a disappointment ' to t-he public,
to whtfim JotTre was little known.
- In many . ways JofTre is Atore Ger
man than Parisian. Sober,-simple in
habits, Industrious, rising at five and
going to bed at’ ten, and making no
great public appearance, he was not
the figure to strike the French Imag
ination at first view.- . y

His career had already been marked*
by several acts of gallantry, but It. was
as an efficiency man, an engineer, a
systematizer and organizer, who-was
not top proud to learn from the kais

Impressed Pan and Custelnau and oth-
ers, who, now became his Immediate
instruments in regenerating the French
army. ,
Joffre is not the Frenchman of Paris,
but the hard-working peasant .type
which made France great. He was

the French people now take a certain
delight. •
Before he cod!d finish his course .the
Franco-Prusslan war began and
Joffre became a sub-lieutenant in a
Paris fort, Here he got little chance
to distinguish himself, blit the hdr-
rays of the, sjege left a great .Impres

patriotism.
Directly after the conclusion of
