MARSHAL JOFFRE IS
AMONG IMMORTALS
French Leader Made Member Of
French Academy This Afternoon

Paris Dec. 19.--Marshal Joftre now
is formally mum ered among Frances
40 immortals. The victor of the
Marine was made member of the
French academy this afternoon.
President Wilson attended the
function.
In the course Of his inaugural ad-
dress the marshal said:
1T is not without deep emotion
that I look back upon the time which
I spent last year in the United States
This people. by the intensity of it's
affection for France, caused one 70
sense the strength which it somehow
felt but which it did not vet know
how to employ. 1t seemed that by
its great love this people felt itself
already doing som cthing noble and
comforting to the Allied armies. 1t
made no mistake, for that love en-
ahled France, overwhelmed by the
detection Of the Russian armies and
by the great and weakening trials of
the spring Of 1917, to keep intact it's
confidence and it's courage.
while in the midst of the AIneri-
can crowds | was living hours which
l number among the sweetest of my
life. l had OWNED the need for sac
rifces on their part Awakened in the
soul of this generous people by the
heroism OF our soldiers and the JUS
tice Of our cause. In order that
France might live in prosperity, that
Belgium might re-estoblish herself
that liberty might reign and that
right might be reinstated, America
arose and resolved to throw into the
fight her last man and her last dol
lar.
History does not record a more
marvellous achievement than that OF
millions of men voluntarily breaking
away from their peaceful pursuits to
cross the seas, where lurked death;
to come thousands Of miles from their
country and give up their lives for a
noble cause, a great idea. And as If
the sacrifice was not completed by
sending the husbands and sons, we
have seen the wives, the fathers and
the mothers escQrting across the seas
that phalanx Of warriors to alleviate
our SufferingS and dress our wounds.
We have seen them unsparingly giving
their gold and the treasures of their
hearts, k1ee1ing on the graves of our
sons and adopting our orphans.
I'm a brotherly embrace, France
and America have given one another
their faith a pledge for the present
and the future"
President Wilson and Mrs. Wilson
arrived shortly before l o'clock and
were followed a few minutes later by
President and Madame Poincare.
Madame Poi1care and Mrs Wilson
sat together in a box in a balcony.
Mrs. Wilson wore a simple dark blue
tailored dress trimmed in otter fur.
President Wilson was cheered as he
took his seat.
