PARIS, December 24.-Gen. Joffre, in

France and Belgium. He made trip

interview lasted just five minutes.
On Friday, December IL. general

Joffre was in his car on the way to

then commanded by Gen. de Castelnau,

rushed into the headquarters unan-

the new commander of the operations
in France, exchanged a few words of
felicftation, and in five minutes was on
his way back to general headquarters.
He stopped just once on the way for

During the lunch, Gen. Joffre chatted
with the soldiers around him, inquiring
how they were situated as to winter
comforts, where they came from, how
long they had been at the front, and il
they had been home on leave. 1t took
him twenty minutes to eat his colo
meat and eggs, to learn the campaign

IN THE ARGoNNES, France, Decem-
Der 10.-Several miles behind the front,

ucts can be transported to the trenches
with little difficulty, lies the so-called
Hindenburg mill. one-time French
sawmill that for years had laid in
active and which has been utilized by
the Germans for fitting up their posi-
tions.
Every bit of machinery in the mill
is French--most of 1t requisitioned
from similar establishments in all

Germans estimate that they have spent
not more than 1000 marks in rehabil-
itating the institution, which today is
turning out from 1900 to 10000
marks worth of furniture a month.
The mill originally was purely a saw
mill, but departments have been added
in which stoves are being made for
the trench shelters at the front, and in
which many metal parts are nodded
for the manifold needs Of the fighting
men a few miles away.
Several score of soldiers, carpenters
and machinists by trade have been as
signed to the Hindenburg mill and are
daily turning out by the wholesale

rooms where the German soldier, at

Purpose of Frear Bill.

The Frear bill would do away with
the present system of recommendations
for improvements of streams and har-
bors by army engineers. This method,
explains the author of the bill, is the
bone of contention between the adyo-
Gates of the waterways commission and
the advocates of the present PLAN Rep
resentative Frear has claimed on the
floor of the House many times that the
army engineers have recommended
projects which have cost the government
hundreds of millions of dollars, and at
the same time are vastly out of pro-
portion to the small commerce on the
rivers and haybors in question.
Measure Is Explained.
In explaining the bill which he has
prepared Representative Frear said
today:
The bill provides for a commission
of five members. not more than three
to be of the same political party, with
terms of Office extending seven years.
1t is authorized to employ civil engi-
neers and other help and upon request
the Secretary of War is permitted to
detail army engineers to aid the COM
mission whenever such detail does not
interfere with regular military duties.
Section 4 covers a number of spe-
cific duties to be performed, including
a complete ineligible report at the
earliest practicable moment on all
waterway projects now maintained in
whole or in part by the government,
with recommendations concerning the
abandonment or further continuance of
every project now maintained at pub
lie expense.
'The commission is further directed
to investigate into the causes for aban-
doned river transportation, and the
construction of experimental craft is
authorized in order to determine the
type of boat, if any, most suitable for
reviving river traffic.

APPLICATION TO IRELAND
NOT OFFICIALLY KNOWN
Press Association Announces That
Irish Are Not to Be Exempt
From Provisions.

LONDON. January 3.-The statement
that the new compulsory recruiting bill
will also be applied to Ireland SO far
rests on the authority of the press as
sociation. which, however, is often the
medium of official intimations.
Moreover according to the Times
parliamentary correspondent, the polit-
ical situation is still tangled and there
is a possibility of other designations
besides that of Sir John A. Simon, sec
retary of state for home affairs, whose
position can hardly be reconciled with
the remaining ministers.
Had a Brilliant Career.
Sir John A. Simon, whose. resignation
is announced definitely, enjoyed rapid
and brilliant career after a remarkable
success at the bar. He entered parlia-
ment in 1906 and Joined the ministry
first as solicitor general, afterWard as
attorney general. He is so strong a
pacifist that he was almost decided to
resign with Viscount Morley and John
Burns when the war broke out. 1t was
only the German violation of Belgian
neutrality that induced him to remain
as member of the government.
When the coalition government was
formed last May Sir John refused the
great prize of the post of lord high
chancellor, made vacant by Viscount
Haldane's retirement, because he pre-
ferred a political career and became
home secretary.
Other designations Possible.
A revised draft of the compulsory re-
cruiting bill was circulated to the
members of the government during the
week end, and will be discussed at
Tuesdays cabinet council. According
to the Times. Premier Asquith has still
to satisfy Reginald McKenna, chan
cellor of the eXchequer, and Walter
Runciman. president of the board of
trade, regarding the total strength of
the army and the danger of the situa-
tion lies in a dangerous but plausible
compromise for the sake of retaining
these two Minister'S.
The Times as a conscriptionist organ
takes the view that no question of
extravaganza or ability to bear the
strain should be considered, and that
therefore no attention should be paid
to the position of McKenna and Runci-
man.
The Post anticipates that John
Burns, the pacifist, who resigned when
war was declared, and has kept re-
markable silence since, will emerge
from retirement and lead a voluntary
campaign against the government
policy.
