GEN. PETA|N MAY
SUCCEED JOFFRE
verdun Hero Slated to Command
Armies of Entente.
COLONEL WHEN WAR BEGAN
Premier BRAND Plans War Cabinet
Similar to the One Formed by
Great 5ritain--Announcen
Expected Soon.

Washington, Dee. 12.--Private adj
vices from Paris received here telling
of the secret proceedings in the French
chamber of deputies during the last
week confirm previous reports that
General Petain, the defender of Ner-
dun, is To succeed General Joffre In
supreme command of all the allied
forces on the western battle front, as
the first result of radical changes in
organization which are TO follow con-
centration of management of the war
in small council, as has been done
In England.
Is Great Driver of Men.
The hero of Douaumont and the
savior of Verdun, as General Petain
has been called, is not a defensive
fighter in spite of the fact that his
late reputation was gained by one of
the most remarkable defensive feats
in the history of the war. 1t was as
an offensive leader, as q driver of
men so powerful that his reserves
could not keep up with the success
fully smashing attacks of the first
line, that Petain won his first promo
ton out of the ranks Of unknown
colonies shortly after the war began.
Led Heroic Charge.
1t was at Dinant that, revolver In
one hand and whip in the other, he
led his regiment in charge that won
for him the rank of bligadier. This
In IN, IL, hl OF
days of the war.
In May, 1915, in the Artos offensive,
Petain amazed his comrades by his
skill and dash. He commanded the
first wave that smashed into the Ger
man line. The staff expected to hear
from him in "a hours; it was a hercu-
lean task, and that was the minimum
time assigned to him. Two hours
later, when an officer appeared and
announced that Petain had completed
the job, the staff thought the man had
gone insane. D..
Wants Fighters on Staff.
A year ago last September General
Petain, now commanding a great
army, surpassed even his former rec
ord when, in "a hours in the Cham
payne offensive, he advanced more
than four miles and captured $4,000
men.
When Petain became the hero of
the French army there was a rush of
applications for positions on his staff.
His reply was chara cteristic:
'The officers 1 require on my staff
now are either expert cyclists or
trained runners. l have no use for
ornamental brass hats"
Forming New Cabinet.
Premier BRAND has begun formation
of a new French cabinet, Ambassador
Sharpe cabled the state department.
An earlier cablegram from Ambas-
sador Sharpe had said Premier
BRAND had rendered his resignation
to President POincaire and that it had
been refused. The later message said
in effect:
"Premier BRAND is reorganizing his
cabinet. / was misinfOrmed regard
ing his resignation"
