COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF

When in 1911 It was decided to abolish
the dual power in the army and to ooncen-
trate the duties of the chief to the General
star. who was charged with war prepara-
tiohs, and those of the vice president of the
way council who was to conduct the war
as the head of the army in the hands of
one man, General Joffre was chosen for
the post.
IL was at the height of the Morocco
trouble. virtually at the moment of the
coup d'Agadr," when the political horizon
was covered with dark clouds when II
seemed impossible that peace could be pre-
served, when struggle between France and
Germany was thought to be inevitable, that
General Joffre assumed the supreme COM
mand of the French army.
The public wonderingly inquired who
was the man who thus virtually held in his
hands the future of France some recol
lected Timbuktu; others remembered hav-

Years Law" the bill that was TO extend
the time Of military service to three years.
Together with General Pau, he was
chosen by the Government to aid the pas
sage OF this law and for days he listened
calm and unperturbed to abuse and calum-
nies heaped by the Radicals upon the men
at the head of Frances military affairs.
For three long months. day in and day out.
he heard his work belittled, he witnessed
the fury of vituperation trying to drag his
associates into the mire. He faced this
all as stoldly as he faced the dangers of
his march on Timbuktu or the difficulties
Of the problems he encountered In his work.
Finally day came when General Pau
unable TO contain his anger and not per-
mitted TO answer the calumnies, rose from
his seat and left the chamber amidst the
angry shouts of the opponents Of the BILL
who saw in his action demonstrative pro-
test against parliamentarsm General Joffre
remained seated.
Not word escaped his tightly shut
mouth, not gesture came to break his
impassive attitude, onl ythe fire In the eyes
beneath the heavy eyebrows betrayed the
emotion he felt.
When he came TO speak he spoke with
the cool reasoning of an Instructor. and ne
won the day. for the bill became law.
1t would really seem as If some of these
stoical qualities of General Joffre have
commands, for the "furia Francese," as
tho Italians styled the bravado Of the
French troops of former days, has de-
veloped into heroism that lacks the pic
turesquc. but does not recognize obstacles
nor permit anything to obscure the path to
the goal
'The primordial virtue of general COM
manding an army is his character" was
Napoleons dictum.
General Joffre is n man OF character, and
this force OF his has been felt throughout
the ranks of the French army until every
soldier in the trenches, every trooper in
the field, owns as part and parcel of his
moral equipment some of this precious gift.
He is the idol of the army. and he has
become such in spite of his being one
of the strictest disciplinarians ever known.
1T is not because he spoils us that we
call him our Joffre," said n soldier who
has fought with him from the first moment
of the war ''It is because he belongs to
us, because he is always near us. because
he Is what we want him to be- because after

In his country, General Joffre pronounced.
in an interview. these historic words:
1T will not be the commanding generals
who Will gain the battles of the future.
IL Will be the colonels and even the simple
captains. The fighting front will extend
10 400 or 500 miles, and under such
conditions, tn evil of one man cannot be
made felt everywhere, for there is but little
opportunity for new combinations and ruses
The role of the commanding general will

have gathered at a desired point in the line

can be taken as the key of all his activity

command of the French army.
PREPARING FOR WAR
General Joffre Is conscious of realities.
Others may dream of fundamental changes
but he has ever feared experiments when
the stakes meant national honor He went
ahead in perfectlng the fighting machine OF
France but In organizing the army he has
ever endeavored to organize the nation at
the same time. for, warrior though he has

that he has not helped to awaken Frances

SAVE THE WASTE AND WIN THE
WAR.

The managers of the most fash
;onable hotels on the Atlantic coast
are printing the following request"
on their menu cards: "In conformity
with the national food-conservation
policy, we request our guests not to
give waste ordersy that is, orders
for more food than they really de-
sire. If no food goes back to the
kitchen, there is no waste"
1t is the order of the day and it
is not going to be considered bit
smart to give extravagant luncheons
and dinners this season, it is only
going to be awfully bad form. There
are well-bred people who have all
ways been accustomed to good living
and who would not hesitate to pay
an extra hundred or two on a valua-
bic rug, for fine painting, or for
rare books, yet would send a waste
ful cook about her business on short
notice, for they consider wasteful-
ness crime, not to be passed over
lightly because they happen to pos
sess large means. 1t is with that
class of people that digifed simpli-
city obtains, and it is for themselves
rather than for good eating, that
they are sought.
Now is the time to put the gospel
of the clean plate into active SER
vice.
Go about this business of saving
the waste in genial way. Don't
make penance' out of it. Use you1
brains and you will have greater va
riety of food on your tablet takes
brains to achieve variety-and you
will be better off IN health and peck

doing your part in helping the world
win democracy and peace.-Isabelle
