THE WAR DURING 1915
FROM A STRICTLY
FRENCH VIEWPOINT

led the dance, that Bulgaria and Ru-
mania would today be fighting on the
allies side and that the multi-color-
| ed flags of Germany's opponents
would today be floating over the min
arets of Constantinople.
The resignation of Theophile Del
casse, considered one of the greatest
of Frenchmen from the office OF
Minister of Foreign affairs, was due
uniquely TO the Balkan developments
Some say he opposed the sending OF
troops TO Salonika, other declare he
long ago advocated Big Stick meth
DDS in the near east and that because
his diplomacy there was not strongly
enough backed up, King Ferdinand
joined hands with the kaiser instead
Of with the allies. Take your choice.
Whatever his reasons for resigning
his departure was the occasion of o
complete reorganization of the gov
eminent, Premier Rene Viyiani re-
signing to make way for NJ. Aristide
BRAND. The presence of M. Brand as
prime minister is significant. He is
known as man of action, of initia-
tive and strong measures.
The nomination of General Joffre
as supreme generalissimo of all the
French troops means two thinks
First that Joffre will have absolute
authority in disposing of his arm
les and planning campaigns: Sec
ond, the French hope that the Eng
fish will take the hint and agree to
full and complete coordination OF
all available forces. Competent au-
thorities agree that German successes
have been the result of central con
troll of electives, permitting rapid de-
cisions to be put quickly into effect
whereas the allies have not acted In
concert and when at last, after long
delays they did get together, the mea.
sures agreed upon were slowly put
into operation. The internally Wa
council, composed of men who have
the power to act, as, IL is said, Jof.
fire. will have from now on, ought t.
show results during the coming year
Summed up, Frances last year ha,
been largely one of preparation. Sh,
hopes the coming year will be one o
execution. People here call the new
cabinet the cabinet of victory jus
as they call the new French loan O
about 20 billion francs. the loan o.
victory.
The Frenchman hopes for peace II
1915. He considers the American
peace talk the greatest puszle Of til

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent. J
PARIS, Dec. 29.-Five significant
events punctuated the year just draw
ing to close as seen from the French
point of view: The battle of Cham
payne, the Balkan muddle, the change
of governments, the creation of an
internally War council and the nom
ination of General Joffre as COM
mander-in-chief of all the French
armies, whatever theatre of opera
ton.
As a whole France regards the
past year was without brilliance so
far as she or the allies are concern
ed. Her victories have been rather
negative. While her enemy has been
making scme great runs around the
end she and those fighting with her
have succeeded in keeping the ball
pretty well in the middle of the
field. The first half of the game
seems about over, the Teutons have
the ball but there have been no touch
downs. That is about the way the
common sense Frenchman sizes up
the situation at the close of 1915.
| The battle of Champagne was i'm
portant because it vas the very first
battle to be fought under present,
trench-perfect conditions, it gave the
French soldier proper measure of
the enemy and proper measure of
himself. Tho no important strategic
point was gained by this victory, un-
doubtedly it will have it's effect on
1915 campaigns because it settled sew
eral important points.
The internally War council leads
Frenchmen to believe that the mis-
takes of the past are not likely to be
repeated; from now on they have de-
termined that the war plans of the
allies will dove-tail and that the com
ing year will register some real re-
suits.
The Balkan muddle has giver
France more anxiety. perhaps thar
any other war phase during 1915
Frenchmen openly admit failure there
both automatically and military
Greece three times offered to join the
allies. once even before the battle
of the Marine in 1914, but each time
she was refused admission. Then
when the allies had fallen down al
the Dardanelles and in Bulgaria anc
asked her to come in. she had chang
ed her mind. It is admitted in GER
tain circles, that had France and tn,
allies acted in concert, and at tn,
\ proper time, there Is not the slight

This is an age of metals with the
demand sand consumption constantly
increasing but the demand arising
out of the European war has slim
ulated production to the limit, and
still prices are going up and up, and
all authorities agree that the av-
erage prices Of metals will never
again si1k to their former levels, for
developed mines are . wasting asset
and the tenormous quantities Of cop
per. lead zinc, antimouy, cts, being
shot away today on the battle fields
of Europe are forever lost. Mean
time the consumption of metals in
the peaceful arts at home and in neu-
trial countries is steadily growing so
that added to the demand for metals
in the rebuilding of Europe when the
war is over the mining industry Is
undoubtedly facing the most bril-
liant future it has ever known.
American mines now lead the world
in the production OF all metals but
gold and will undoubtedly continue
so to do. Colorado has produced
largely and been big factor in
maintaining production at high
point and the great San Juan altho
practically untouched has contribut-
ed no small amount of Colorado's
total and is destined to play much
more important part in the metal
production of the future.
