But the Withdrawals went almost un-

RESERVATIONS of the crowned heads OF
Europe from the armies and navies OF
their enemies. Before the war King
George was an honorory officer in the
forces of Germany. Austria Hungary
and Russia. The Kaiser was an officer

Of Austria-Hungary held many honor

his share of fighting titles in Germany
and Austria. Then the war broke out,
they all resigned.
Not without cause has the Kaiser
been called the War Lord OF Europe.
Owing to the complimentary custom
prevailing in European countries dur

GEN. JOSEPH J0FFRE NOTED
FOR BELIEF IN NAPOLEON

Gen. Joseph Joffre, Generalissimo of
the French in the new war against
Germany, Is a man of silence. His
whereabouts today are a secret. He is
almost unknown to the public and few
Of his soldiers would recignize him II
he motored by them.
Should France eventually win out
against her arch enemies, the Ger
mans, it will not be another victory
for Napoleon, which was Joffre's fond
est dream.
Round and fat, silent and saturnine,
Joffre is not unlike the great Corsican
in build and characteristics and he is
profound believer in Napoleonic
principles, to strike first, to hit the
enemy In many places at once and to
veil his movements with strict Sc
crecy.
He started this war that way. The
French were not successful. The Ger
mans crossed the border M. Millerand
has taken charge and decreed that no
more Napoleonic policies go. Joffre
has been overruled. Today the French
army, instead of being all along the
border and in Alsace, Lorraine, and
elsewhere, is concentrated to oppose
the main German advance.
