negative ones. He has maintained his
defensive lines intact and has pre-
vented the German assaults from win

Objections to Joffre have been de-
veloping and will not be quietad.
There are many grounds, however, on
which Joffre can NJ defended. Above
all others is the fact that no German
or English commander has been able
to gain any important victory over
the enemy since Joffre's first and last
success between Paris and the Aisne.
Nor has any French army commander

way of saving France. When Joifre
