FRENCH ARMY TALKS TO SOL
DlERS ON NEW YEARS.

PARIS, Jan. 5.-(11:45 a. m.1-Tho
order Of the day issued by General
Joffre, the French commander-in-chi
to the army on New Years day has
just appeared i'll an army bulletin.
"Soldiers Of the republic says the
order, "at the moment when this year
Of war is terminating, you may con-
slider your work with pride and meas,
ure the grandeur of what you have
accomplished. In the Artois, in the
Champagne in the Woevre and in the
Vosges, you have inflicted upon the
enemy resounding blows and caused
him sanguinary losses, losses incom-
parably greater than ours. The Ger
man army still holds out, but sees its
number and resources diminishing
each day. Obliged to succor weaken.
ing Austria, Germany must seek in
secondary theaters temporary and
easy successes that she has failed to
gain on the principal fronts. All the
German colonies are either isolated
from the world or in our hands.
"On the contrary, the allies, are re.
inforcing themselves increasingly. In
contestable masters OF the seas, they
can easily obtain supplies, while the
central empires, financially and eco
nomically exhausted, are reduced to
counting only upon our discord or
fatigue, as if the allies who have
sworn to fight to the bitter end were
disposed to violate their oath at the
moment when the hour of chastise-
ment was going to strike for Ger
many; as if our soldiers, who have
waged the hardest Of ccmbats, were
not Of the stuff to hold out in spite
Of cold and mud.
Let us be proud Of our might and
our right. Let us think Of the past
only to find in it reasons for conf.
dence. Let us think of our dead only
to avenge them. While our enemies
are talking Of peace let us think only
Of war and victory.
cat the beginning of year that will
be, thanks to you, glorious one for
France, your commander-in-ch ad-
dresses to you from the bottom of his
heart the most affectionate greetings.

LONDON, Jan. 5.-(4:45 p. m.)--
Sir John Simon, whose resignation as
home secretary was announced yester-
day, made speech in the house OF
commons today, in which, after ex-
pressing regret that he had found it
necessary to sever his relations with
Premier Asquith. he pleaded for re-
lection of the compulsory service bill.
When the national register was
taken, Sir John said, the country was
given a pledge that it had nothing t,
do with compulsion.
The present bill, Sir John said, rep
resented legislation first and inquiry
afterwards.
"Voluntarism is birthright of the
hation," he continued. LET the gov
ernment be sure that if they sell it
