Other members of the party are: Mar
shall Joseph Jacques Cesaire Joffre, COM
mander-in-Chef of the French armies
until last december, now military adviser
of the government; Vice Admiral T. L. A.

an expert on submarine problems: Mar

Viviani was born at Sidi-Bel-Ab In
Algeria, Nov. 9, 1862, and was admitted to
prace law is Paris in 1887. His sociaistic
tendencies early manifested themselves
ard he became counsel of the Railway
Workmen and Employees. Elected to the
Chamber Of Deputies in 1893 and again in
1898. he retired temporarily from politics
to becomeN French citizen. He was re-
elected to the Chamber in 1906, however.
and has maintained his membership ever
since. He also has attained distinction as
a journalist.
On June IA. 1914, Eiviania succeeded Gas
ton Doumerque as president of the coun-
Gil of ministers and minister of foreign
affairs. In that dual capacity he accom-
panied President Poincare on a special
mission to Russia and only four days
after their return to Paris war was de-
clared on France by Germany.
Marshal Joffre
Marshal Joffre is the only man in
France since the close OF the Franco
Prussian war in 1870 who has been au-
thorized to bear the illustrious title of
marshal Of France, and this distinction
was conferred on him by unanimous ac-
tion Of the French chamber in recogni-
ton of his splendid services as a military
leader in what probably was the most
critical moment in French history. To
officers and soldiers, however. he has been
"Our Joffre'' or Grandpa" since he led
them to victory on the Marine and turned
the tide of the German invasion.
Yet these familiar nicknames never
conveyed to the French mind any sense
of weakness. Beloved as he was by his
soldiers. Joffre is a strict d.sciplinarian.
His main concern. after making all OF
his dispositions to secure victory, has
been the protection of the lives Of his
men. ,Calmness is a distinguishing
characteristic. In the darkest day Of
the war, in August, 1914, the minister
Of war paid hasty visit to Joffre's
headquarters at iRomilly behind the
Marine. The German progress was still
in full swing, yet the minister found
the general serene and absolutely GER
tain Of the ability Of his army to check
the German invaders at that point
Joffre was commander in chief Of the
French army at the beginning Of the
war and remained in That position un-
til December last. when he gave place

CHICAGO, July 23.-Corn-A1-
though weather conditions were more
! favorable and crop reports generally
good, corn advanced in price largely
on account of the further sensational
advance in cash corn in the spot mar
ket. There is, of course, no pressure
from stocks accommodating and, natural
ly bears are timid under the ctrcum-
stances. New crop deliveries are
checked in their higher tendency by
the absolute price limit. Until con-
gress takes some definite action in re-
gard to the use Of corn in distilled
spirits, manufacturers are not dis
turbed by the price Of cash corn, in
as-mwch as the government is practic-
featuring profit.
Oats-Oats were very cratic, max
ing new tops for all deliveries early,
only to lose the gain and close I'M
changed to fractionaily lower. The re-
versal of form was attributed to the
fact that distressed shorts covered
early and because cash premiums dur
ing the last hour faded away rapidly.
Towards the end of the session 1t was
difficult to dispose of car lots. Some
damage from lodging is reported as
the result Of rain and wind storms,
but the crop so far has been remark
ably fortunate, and the prospect for q
record yield is excellent. At the pre-
vailing discount of oats under other
grains, it will not be we'll TO sell the
futures on the breaks.

PEACE DISCUSSION
BY SENATORS
LowIs Started II by Declaring Mich
aelis' Address Was Bid for
Ending the
War.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
WASHINGTON, July 28.-That the
time will not come to talk peace in the
great war until Germany is out Of
Belgium and France" was the declar
alton OF senators today during heated
debate on the speech Of Chancellor
Michaelis. Peace discussion was start
ed when Cenator Lewis. Illinois, de
clared Michaelis' address to the reich
stag was "a bid for peace"
This deduction seems reasonable
he continued. IF peace Is asked by
the allies, the mere asking will be re-
garded by Germany as sufficient ex
cuse for yielding to the terms Of the
allies.
II believe the HohenZollerns would
rather have the terms dictated by the
allies and remain in power than to get
some of Germany's terms and be over
thrown"
Lewis surmised that Germany is
ready to hand back Alsace and Lor'
raine to france. Senator Pomerene
asked him about the status Of Italy.
II think the principle terms OF peace
are the return of French territory, the
restoration Of Belgium and the free
dom of the seas" Lewis replied. "A
board representing all warning coun.
tries than could settle tbe other prob
lems"
Senator King denounced Lewis, in
depreciation.
"The senator read into Michaelts'
speech statements never expressed
King said. Twill it not be time to talk
peace when Germany is out of Bel
GUM and France? asked Senator Mel
son.
ut will not be time until Belgium
and France are evacuated and Ger
many has paid for the foul and wicked
crime that lies at her door," King re-
piled. "The idea of anything else Is
abhorrent after the horrible, ruthless
wicked, and fiendish crime of Ger
many. Germany for years has been
preaching pan-Germanism and the sur
vivaI of the fittest. The new chancel
lor has endorsed and defended Holl
veg and the ruthless submarine pol
icy. He boasts Of the success of the
wicked and Infamous policy.
1--WE must prepare for war, not for
peace and fight until we win a
righteous and lasting peace for de
mocra cy."
Lewis in reply said he believed
Germany Is ready to accept allied
peace terms and that If she is, there
is no need to continue the war.
