CHANGING GENERALS
% fg

The French do not hesitate to change generals.
The appointment of Petain as chief OF stan TAX
ing the place of Nivelle, is an expression OF emo
tional disappointment.
The French evidently expected a decisive VIC
tory in the Champagne and Artois. Probably M
|yelle didn't. He was merely preparing Tor one.
This is a result of leading the public to ex-
pect too much in too quick a time. This war IS
not a one-two-three affair. 1t is a long grind
Petain's reputation rests on his gallant defense
of Verdon. Novelties rested on a successful thrust
last fall. Joffre's reputation rested on skill IN
ihoth offense and defense. Of the three, we think
Jofre was the best; and if he were to be returned
to command of the French forces it might mean
much to France and the allies.
