JOFFRE'S MAIN RELIANCE

In the phalanx of brilliant gen.
erals who surround and support Cen
eral Joffre, the generalissino of the
French army, General Foch occupies
place in the front row. 1t is gen.
orally admitted that it is General Foch
who would be called upon to replace
General Joffre should circumstances
suddenly require it.
General Foch was born in Tarbes.

GREAT MAKER OF POWDER

Someone down East has suggest
ed that T. Coleman du Pont would be
good man for the Republicans to
nominate for the presidency, and to
the people of Delaware, at least, the
idea does not seem incongruous. GEN
eral du Pont is now fifty-two years
old, active, wiry and aggressive, al
most nervously aggressive it may be
said; the type of man who knows
what he wants to do and straightway
starts about it; the type of man, fur
thermore, who possesses thorough
training for his work and wide ex-
perience in doing it. He was born
in Louisville, KY. December II, 1863,
son of Bidermann du Pont and Ellen
S. Coleman.
AS lad he attended Urbana uni
versity in Ohio, then went to Boston,
where he studied at the Chauncey
school. He finally entered the Mas
sachusetts Institute of Technology,
from which he was duly graduated

BLOCK HANDS CITY LUNCHES
ON LAND DEALINGS

Close connections of Chicago Title
& Trust Co. with street car COM
panies were found by Aid. Eugene
Block. They supply argument for
Block that the city should take
these two lunches:
1. Always go to the county record
er's Office and get Torrens title
when you buy piece of land.
2. Never take the word of the Chi
cago Title & Trust Co. when a public
utility corporation is concerned.
Block has resolution in city coun-
Gil to order the city to use county
abstract plant and get Torrsns GER
tifcate when buying land. He got
started on this move when he tried to
force the Calumet & S. Chicago Ry.

Co. to keep its franchise pledge to
build an extension to Hegewisch.
Officials of that company said there
wasn't a clear title to streets through
which the extensions were to run.
These traction officials were quoted
by Aid. Captain and Aid. Lippe, who
asked city council to not forfeit the
franchise.
Documents from the Chicago Title
& Trust Co. were brought in to back
up the claim that land title was cloud
ed. The main leg OF ali the argu-
mepts was that it's not good and
safe public policy to order a street
railway extension built on land which
has its title questioned by the Chi
: cago Title & Trust Co.
Aid. Block found that the president
of the big private title company is
Harrison B. Riley. He also found
that the same Harrison B. Riley who
is head of Chicago Title & Trust Co.
is also chairman of the board of di-
doctors of the Chicago & City Con-
Meeting Railways. Also Harrison B.
Riley is director of the Calumet &
S. Chicago Ry. Co.
''The same traction official who is
in part personally responsible for
the failure of his company to build
the Hegewisch extension as promised
in the franchise" said Block, lis
president of the title company which
asserts the title of the right of way
is clouded. Let one hand wash the
other. That seems to be the motto
of some of our public utility corpora
ton officials"
