U. S. Can Train Own Army.

Marshal Joffre was also asked: Would
these troops which are being sent over be
trained by French soldiers?
IN reply. he said that there was no
reason to doubt the capacity of the Off
GERS of the American army to fully train
their men, in spite of their distance from
the field of action. 1t does not take so
very long time to train subordinate Off
GERS to lead their men into battle. Taking

AS the last word was read and the
non-French-speaking correspondents
realized the Importance of the mar

applause, then cheers-cheers so loud
that they reached the ears of crowd
of men and women waiting outside the
grounds to catch a glimpse of the
French hero as he started for Mount
Vernon. An American sentry pacing
up and down outside the room lowered
his gun and discreetly peered through

A translation of Marshal Joffre's
formal statement was edited by members
of the mission and did not contain vital
passages relating to the marshars previ-
ously known desire for the presence OF
an American force in France.

Translation Of Talk.

The translation follows:
The very cordial welcome given me
by the city of Washington and the
expressions of sympathy which reached
me from states and cities throughout
the United States have moved me deep
ly. since they are a homage paid to the
whole French army. which I represent
here
The hG>esN and resolution of the
soldiers & 1rAscs indeed deserve all
the Affection the United States has
shown them. After having in a SUI
preme effort defeated and thrown back
barbarous enemy, the French army
has untiringly labored to increase and
perfect it's efficiency. And now. in the
third year of the war, 1T is attacking
the enemy with greater vigor and ma
terial force than ever before.
"Side by side with 1t, and animated
by no less heroic spirit, stands the
British army. whose formation and de-
velopment will ever remain the admi-
ration of the world. The Germans have
realized its wonderful growth. Every
encounter has made them feel the in
creasing menace of its strength. The
contempt they pretended to feel for 1t
in the early days of the war has grad
ually become a dread more openly
avowed each day.
Led by its illustrious President, the
United States has entered into this
war. By the side of France in the de-
tense of the ideals of mankind the
place of America is marked.

would profit by the experiences Of the
British and French armies. If a large
army completely equipped had to be
transported at one time the transporta-
ton would be q tremendous problem.
He would therefore consider 1t better
to send unit by unit at time.
American Valor General.
Marshal Joffre was asked would 1t
be possible to tell of any experiences
he had with the American troops or
people who are fighting at the front.
He said 1t would be invidious to
single out any one particular instance
of valor where valor was so general. In
a general way he has had to congratu-
late all Americans in France, and
notably the whole corps of aviators,
who had been most successful. One in
stance that might interest Americans is
this:, President Wilson's message caused
thrill that passed through all who
read It, The German government did
not give its people the full and correct
text of the message.
THE message was translated into
German and the aviators threw 1T into
the German lines, and thereby gave the
German soldiers an opportunity to read
the true text of the speech. This was
of Importance. as Marshal Joffre says
that the German officials take particular
pains to keep all important war news
from the soldiers in the trenches.

Hopes to See Flag in Trenches.

cherishes the confident hope that the
flag OF the United States will soon be
unfurled on our fighting line. This is
what Germany breads.
France and America Will SEQ with
pride and Joy the day when their sons
are once more fighting shoulder to
shoulder in the defense of liberty. The
victories which they will certainly win
will hasten the end of the war, and will
tighten the lines Of affection and es-
TEEN which have ever united France
and the United States"

tions.

antly rubbing a heavy fist into the
palm of his other hand.
Finally the questions began. NJ Ho-
yelaque or one Of the aids translated
them. and the marshal replied In
French. The replies were most frank.
Only once 1t was explained that the
marshal did not think he could dis
cuss a detail asked about, for the rea-
consideration by members of Frances
war mission and representatives OF the
American government.
Some Questions Puzzle Marshal.
One or two of the questions which
puzzled the marshal for a moment
eyebrows together in perplexed
frown. He used his hands most ex-
pressively. Occasionally he shrugged
his shoulders and once raising himself
on his toes. he drove his clenched fist
sharply into the open palm to en-
phasiZe point.
Many Of the correspondents ques-
tions were prompted by the knowledge
that the marshal favors the sending
of an American expeditionary force to
France as soon as possible. The last
one asked. Marshal Joffre bowed low
and left the room with his staff.
Later in the day the correspondents
were informed that 1t was the desire
of the French mission that their con-
versations with Marshal Joffre not be
published until they had been submit
ted to the State Department. and that
the approved text of the questions and
answers would be given out later.

garment was invented by Paris to save
material and thereby lower the price
that a French woman has to pay for
her skirt.
Naturally, the French designers did
not charge the Americans any less for
pegtop skirt than full one, nor will
the American dressmakers make any
difference in prices because of the
scarcity Of material used; but the
thousands upon thousands of women
who buy material for their own gowns
will see the advantage in dropping the
extra-full skirt and adopting the slim
line Of the new silhouette.
The Straight Silhouette.
Already the exclusive dressmakers
are insisting that the pegtop skirt, or
the drapery that is pulled out at the
hips, is mediocre. The first fashion,
they insist, calls for straight silhou-
cite from shoulder to heels without the
break given by the pannier effect at
the end Of the corset. s.

The head Of horse should be small,
refined, and clean cut. 1t should not
be either too concave (dished) or
convex (bulging) between the eyes, the
former suggesting timid disposition,
the latter strong will power. Com
pare the sides Of the face and note any
dissimilarity which may be due to dis
ease. The side view of the head should
show a comparatively straight line
from the poll to the nose. Extremely
heavy jaws are not desirable, especial
~ in horses Of the lighter classes.
Mouth.-The mouth should be exam
ined for unsound or abnormal teeth.
In the condition known as parrot
mouth the front upper teeth overlap
those below, while in reverse parrot
mouth the lower front teeth overlap
those above. If either condition is
present the horse is not able to bite
off food; and while he may eat hay
and grain by getting them into his
mouth with his lips, he would starve
on short pasture. Tongues held out
side the mouth are unsightly.
MuzzIe.-The nostrils should be
large, clear, and pliable, with the in
side rose colored at rest and deep red
during exercise. Nostrils constantly
distended and hard should lead one to
suspect heaves, disease which is dis
cussed later. Note whether the nose
is deformed or crooked-conditions
which mar the horses looks. If the
under lip is not held firmly against the
upper it may be due to lack of

New York.-Probably the lack of &C.
centricity in the spring apparel is it's
distinguishing feature. This is an ad-
nirable trait in time of war, but
France did not foresee that America
would be in war when she designed the
spring clothes that have been univer-
sally accepted in this country.
Paris keeps it's wartime clothes for
its own people, and has never failed
to send to the rest Of the world fresh
batch of newly invented gowns bear
Ing all the marks of frivolity and ex-
travagance.
Many reasons have been given for
the lack of eccentricity noticeable in
the French gowns, but whatever the
cause, it is a matter Of satisfaction
that the condition exists. Women are
compelled to buy new raiment at each
change of season, but in time Of q ma
tional crisis they do not think it fit
ting or seemly to indulge in the Pc
culiar caprices of dress which have
marked recent eras.
Other Days, Other Clothes.
1t is common cry to say that the
existing generation is always the most
provocative Of criticism. We forget
what has gone before in history, in hui
mainly and in religion, as we'll as in
dress. There are critics who cry aloud
over a certain fashion, consider it
monstrous, and wonder what our young
women and girls are coming to that

accepted. They speak in excitable
tones Of the respected dead and refer
to our grandmothers as women who in
sisted upon dressing in a seemly and
modest manner. But, just as Agnes
Repplier has forcibly and brilliantly
told OF the new women among the old
women-the brilliant, insurgent char
acters that were the pioneers Of our
race in America-so some student
could tell Of the eXtravagances, ca
prices and indecencies in dress that
swept over the generations to which
our sainted grandmothers belonged,
and which, in their time, were de-
nounced by the pulpit and the press.
This season is ushered in without
the eccentricities of those generations
or even the half-decade that has just
slipped by. One may call the narrow
skirt an eccentricity, but in it's modi-
fed form it is very attractive, and it
saves material, which is the reason
that Paris invented it.
1t is rather amusing that the wom-
en- who have organized for a national
defense and who urge economy in buy
ing clothes, call especial attention to
the pegtop or melon skirt as a garment
to be frowned upon, when this very

around the upper lip. This would lead
one to suspect that the horse has some
bad habit, such as being difficult to
shoe.
Face.-Look for blemishes from op-
erations such as on bad teth or nasal
tumors, disease which may cause trou-
bic after apparently being cured.
Eyes.-Before beginning an exami-
nation of the eyes be sure that these
important and often unnoticeably de-
fective organs are turned toward a
good light. Large, full, well-placed
eyes, preferably of chestnut hue with
sparkle and mild expression, are

less unsightly and give evidence of a
previous injury which may have left
the eye weak, especially if the eye
sheds tears frequently. To test the
sight make quick motion of the hand
away from each eye and see if the
lids are closed to protect the eyeball.
In doing this it is necessary to be
careful not to cause a current Of air
to strike the eye, since blind horse
