SENIOR
 TO GEN. JOFFRE
PARIS GOVERNMENT STILL DE- CIDES NOT TO MAKE A
 MARSHAL.
(By The Associated Press.)

PARIS, Jan. 2.-The decree issued at Bordeaux September 29, fixing the salary of Marshal of France at 30,CO0 francs, was supposed to have the ef- feet of reviving that title, extinct since the death of Marshal Conrobert in 1895. It was also supposed that General Joffre would be raised to that dignity in order to remedy his anoma- lous situation with reference to Mar shal French, who out-ranks him but whose army is under his general com mand. Now it appears that the delay of the government in making the noni- ination is due to the necessity of par liamentary approval.
 The Third Republic had never sup pressed the grade Marshal, but a law passed in 1875 provided that the num- Der of Marshals in the army, and their nomination, should be the object of special laws. The parliament will be called upon at the forthcoming session to regularize the situation. Otherwise when French and English armies may be cooperating outside of French ter ritory, the chief command would de- volve upon Marshal French.
 Since the creation of the grade by Phillipe-Auguste in 1185 there have been only 324 Marshals of France. The grade was suppressed by the revolut- ion and revived by Napoleon, carry ing with it the title of MOnseigneur' To be Marshal of France it was neces- sary to have won a pitched battle or to have taken two fortified towns.

HOW TRENCHES
 ARE DUG IN
FRENCH SOLDIER DESCRIBES THE WORK OF THE
 ARMIES.
(By The Associated Press.)

PARIS. Jan. 2.-How trenches are dug and advances made in face of the enemys fire are described by French soldier in a letter to his parents.
 "We have had plenty of work the pa week." he said, "to gain a mere 200 yards on the enemy. We made three successive advances in rain, wind and hail. We are now only 50 yards from the German line with its pits and network of barbed wire. Our advance has cost us dearly; many poor comrades fell dead or wounded, on the way.
 "This is how we go to work, pre- ferably when the night promises to be dark or rainy Artillery prepares the way in the afternoon, by a fierce bonn bardment. As soon as night falls we move to the front line, and when the enemy's rifle and machine gun fire ouiets, we take rife in one hand a shovel or pick in the other, and move over the flat ground, crawling along on our stomachs. At the command halt! without rising and with our knapsacks as a protection against the whistling bullets, we dig desperately. It is remarkable how quickly hole may be dug when the bullets are kick ing up the loose earth above your heads; many a poor chap drops before this is done. One comrade fell over me with a bullet through the eye. Next day, the body, rolled in a muddy tent-cloth and strapped to a pole, was borne by two friends into the neigh boring village.
 "Once the soldiers have dug their individual trenches, they must be con- nected, but this work may be done more lcisurely. Next, the entire trench is deepened, so that by morning we can stand up straight and aim com fortably over the crest at the line op- posite. We must also buTow little caves to sleep in and tunnels commun- icating with the rear, and build gun posts to the front of the trench; then there is the work of putting out barb l. ed wire entanglements, setting up timbers and covering them over as a roof against artillery fire, It is hard work, lifting and placing these tim- bers, especially dragging them through our muddy little tunnels.
 "In spite of rain and hail and wad- ing around in the mud, dOn't get cold. When 1 curl up in my hole in the ground and sleep, forget all the discomforts of my home"

JUNEAU.-The general roundup made by the police, accompanied by the federal officials, Saturday in which several persons were arrested and charged with being vagrants, resulted in all of the accused being dismissed by the city magistrate yesterday.
 The officers claim that the city mag istrate is tying their hands; they claim that they submitted proof that several of those arrested were with out visible means of support" and were suspicious characters, and that the action of the magistrate in dis missing them is playing into the hands of undesirables.

The Christian Ere.

The Christian era which we now use
was fixed by Dlonysius (surnamed The
Tittle), a Roman abbot and one Of the
most learned men Of the sixth century.
Its epoch, or commencement, Is the
6rst day Of January, OH the fourth
year Of the one hundred and ninety
fourth olympiad, the seven hundred
and ffty-thfrd from the foundation Of
Rome and four thousand seven hun
dred and fourteenth Of the Julian pc
Rod. 1t Is usually supposed to begin
with the birth OF Christ, but there are
various opinions with regard to the
year In which that event took place.
The system accepted by the Christian
world Is that Of Usher. which makes
the date Of the birth Of Christ four
years before the Christian era. The
time for the Christian era was intro
duced in Italy In the sixth century
and began to be used In Gaul In the
eighth century, though It was not gen
orally followed In that country until
century later. From extant charters II
Is known to have been In use In Eng
land before the close Of the eighth cen
tury. Before its adoption the usual
course In Latin countries was TO dis
tinguish the years by their number In
the cycle of indiction, or tax levying
era.-Philadelphia Press.

William Barnes of Albany, N. Y

local figure again, with his prestige

jected as rooster on a rainy day.
On the other hand, Colonel Theodore

POLITICAL PRAYER MEETINGS

II Is a sad day for Christianity when
the church bells call the communicates
together for a political prayer meet
ing. Such gatherings mark the high
tide Of religious political fanaticism,
put bitterness into the lives of men;
fan the flames OF class hatred and de-
stroy Christian influence In the COM
munity. The spirit actuating such
meetings is anarchistic, un-Christlike
and dangerous to both church and
state.
