army, and is almost as popular General Joffre.
General Castelnau also commands prominent place
in the affection OF the French people not only for his
services but because he has sacrificed two

General French's adversary during the desperate
five months struggle in France and Flanders has
been General Kluck, the most logged and per-
sistent OF German commanders, who was scheduled
