General Joffre was speaking with
great earnestness as he referred to
the extent of the German forces mass

turned to another topic, saying:

me to give you this information, yet

is going on for yourselves. You will
see on the front an army of which
the spirit and energy have remained
exactly the same after two years of
war, Not only that, but the number
of our soldiers at the front is actually
greater today than it was at the begin
ming of the war. You will understand

tracts for working certain public
roads in Alcorn county, having
asked to be released from these
sand contracts, was hereby releas-
ed, and certain individuals were
given charge Of the Improvement.
1t appeared o.many when said
contracts were awarded to Con-
tractor Barker that the price bid
was too low, and by which it
seemed impossible for the contrac-
tor to make certain improvements
as required and realize any. CON-
pensation for his work, but the
contracts, were to be awarded to
the lowest bidder, and the result
was that Mr.. Barker landed a
considerable portion Of the road
contracts.
. Several individuals have been
contracted with to take up this
work begun by Mr.. Barker, and
to execute same in the best possi-
BILE manner and with satisfaction
to the board, according to plans
and specifications.
This action Of the board does
not include all Of the contracts

The war department appointed a

the department. The interior is per-

Whether this model will be perma-

doubt. The weight of the shoes and

FRANCE PAYS TRIBUTE
TO THE DUKE OF ROHAN

Paris-Cby maiD-The Duke OF
Rohan. killed in the battle Of the
Somme, has had one of the most i'm
posing funerals seen in France during
the war. 1T was not only a tribute to the
heroic young nobleman, but 4 public
recognition that the sons of the old no.
5ility Of France are fighting for the re-
public with the same ardor that the old
nobility fought for the kings.
The Rohans are among the famous
old fighting families of France They
Ought at the Siege of La Rochelle. They
were among the musketeers of Louis
XIV. One of them was known as the
young hero in the seven years war.
Another became a bishop and built the
famous palace at S~trassburg which is
still an architectural wonder. But while
aristocrats. they shared the views of
Lafayette and other French noblemen
admiring republican institutions, and
The present generation of the family has
been one of the mot enthusiastic sup
portels of the republic.
The young Duke of Rohan first
showed his republican sympathies by
becoming a member of the chamber Of
deputies. But he was no soone elected
than the war broke out, and he entered
the republican army as a second lieu
tenant. One day when home on leave he
visited the corridors of the chamber,
and heard a deputy spouting politics
to q circle of listeners. The duke MUIR
INJURED dissent to some of the political
statements. w~hereupcn the deputy
lngrily exclaimed:
This war has brought a great many
strangers to the surface. l do not know
his strange young maj who d~issents."
Il am sorry you do not know me-"
said the duke. Let me introduce my
self as mi of your colleagues of the
chamber Of deputies, member for
L'Aube. If you have not seen me there,
t is [ have been at the front
Ind have not set my foot in the cham
Der since the war began"
A little later the duke returned to the
'ront, where he is credited with one Of
he war? While out accommodating as a
:avalry lieutenant, he arrived along
With his orderly at an inn where 100
prussian soldiers had taken possession
and were having a drunken orgie.
Warned by a peasant, the u k would
1ot turn back. Entering the place brus-
luely, and speaking in German, in i'm
2~ressive tones he commanded the party
20 surrender, as the house was sur
sounded on all sides.
Surprised by tie sudden appaTitiol,
n~terrogated by a firm voice of COM
mand, and hearing the orderly with his
horses outside, the jewellers resigned
submitted as prisoners. until a French
cavalry patrol warned of what had oc-
cured, arrived to escort the 100 pris-
oners of a single hero.
This is the story, as told of the young
Duke of Rohan, and passing current as
one Of the realities of the war. That it is
authentic is evident from the fact that
1t won him the Legion of Honor and
placed the stamp Of government recog-
hltlon on the audaciouS achievement.
