Dignity of Marshal of
France ReDiUed For Jofre;
High Command Settled

Paris, Dec. 27.-In addition TO a
decree creating General Joffre a, mar
shall of France. President Poincare ha9
signed another revoking the DEGREES
of December 2, 1915, and December
10, 1915. The first of these appointed
Marshal Joffre COMMUNICATIVE chief of
all the French forces, except those in
the colonies and Morocco. The second
said:
General Joffre, chief
of the French forces, will act as tech
nical adviser to the government in all
matters concerning the direction of
the war"
The high command as now settled
finally consists of the war committee.
composed of Premier BRAND, General
p. Lyautey, minister of war; Rear Ad-
miral Lacaze, minister of marine; AL
bert Thomas, minister of national
manufactures; Alexander Ribot. min
lister of finance. and President Poin-
care. The duty of the minister of war
is to notify the other ministers and
commanding generals concerning the
decisions of the committee and to
take measures to insure their con-
certed execution. In addition he is
responsible for everything concerning
the preparation and maintenance of
the nations military resources. There
are two generals commanding, General
Nivelle, of the armies of the north
and northeast. who also assures a
liason with the allied staffs, and Gen
eral Sarrail. of the army of the Orient,
who, as already announced, is no
longer answerable to grand headquar-
ters. but directly to the minister of
war.
The press and public are unanimous
in welcoming the revival of the dignity
of marshal in favor of General Joffre.
All agree that he broke the German
power once for all by the victory of
the Marne and saved the capital of the
country from humiliation and despair.

Y. w. c. A. Directors Pass
Resolutions on a Death

Mrs. Helen Boas Reilly, president;
Mrs. Sarah A. Herr. Mrs. Mary A.
Gilbert, Miss E. Blanche Clute and
Miss Ella M. Stitt, in behalf of the
board of directors, of the Y. w. G. A,
passed the following resolutions on the
death of Mrs. E. u. Wallower, at spe-
cial meeting yesterday:
Whereas God has called unto HIM
self our friend and coworker, Mrs. e.
u. Wallower; therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That we. the board of
directors of the Young Women's
Christian Association, desire to express
sonal loss, together with our thankful
ness for the beauty and usefulness of
her life-the spiritual consciousness
that was hers-and the charm with
which she portrayed that inner light.
AS one of the vice-presidents of the
Association and chairman of the home
department Mrs. Wallower with truest
womanliness combined those rare
qualities of mind and heart, strength
and tenderness, a calm, wise power OF
judgment in solving all problems, and
and a gentle graciousness of manner
in her every action. With sweetest
naturalness she translated high ideals
into deeds of practical, helpful every
day goodness. The results of her
work, and the memory of her Chris
tian influence are our highest tribute
to her. We extend to her bereaved
husband and family, our heartfelt
sympathy, and our prayers for their
consolation. We desire that q copy OF
this resolution be spread upon the
minutes of the Association and print
ed in the city papers in public appre-
citation of one whose life was q bless
ing in the community, and whose
death means a deep and irreparable
loss to the Harrisburg Y. w. G. A.
