besides, public feeling would not have
tolerated among American citizens any
acknowledgment of past loyalty, which
would have been considered an act OF
treachery.
Germany has made the same mis-
take concerning the principles OF the
American foreign policy. which for many
years rested on washington's farewell
message. in which he advised his coun-
trymen to stay carefully out OF alliances
with European Powers. But what WASH
ington wanted was TO gain time for his
country TO reach the point where II would
be the master of its future"
Another error pointed out by NJ. Cam
bon on the part OF the Germans was In
having overlooked "the deep idcalism OF
the young American soul" The Ger
name, he says. "were struck only by
the economic development of the coun-
try. and did not believe in the sincerity
of the generous feelings among those
republicans. whose traditions, however,
were religious traditions"
NJ. Cambon refers to the fact that al
though religion is not State affair in
America. most ceremonies are opened
and closed with prayers. This practice
he attributes TO the eager Inspiration
such as Seward referred to when he said
during the Civil War:
There Is n higher law than the Con-
stitution itself"
1T is that higher law that Germany
did not credit to America" NJ. Cambon

JOFFRE IS SILENT
ON BRIEY ENIGMA
"All Politics." His Only
Comment on Viyiani State

OFFICIAL VIEWS CLASH
Lanrezac Says French Lacked
Means to Make Iron Basin
Untenable
OFFICIAL VIEWS CLASH
By the Associated Press

Paris. Feb. 3.--"That is all politics,
and am not a politician" Marshal
Joffre declared to Paris newspaper cor
respondents concerning his views on the
statement made in the Chamber of Depu-
ties Friday night by former Premier
viviani, that the French army, then
under command of Marshal Joffre, had
been withdrawn on July 80, 1914, eight
or ten kllometers from the frontier in
order that the French Government might
demonstrate that its attitude was not
hostile.
The Matin calls the discussion con-
cerning the withdrawal, which affected
the iron basin of the Briey, the "Brey
enigma"
Marshal Joffre said he had carried
out his duties fully under all crcum-
stances and that he is drawing up a
plain historical statement of what had
been done under his direction, which
would contain the truth as established
by documents.
General Lanrezac who commanded
the Fresh Fifth Army at the outbreak
OF the war. told the Petit Journal that
the evacuation of the Bricy region had
never been decided upon in advance and
that want of material means alone pre-
vented the French staff from making
the basin untenable for the Germans
General Nivellc, who at one time was
In command at Verdun, the nearest
point held by the French to Briey, in
formed the Matin that, when he was at
Verdun in 1916, the French were 25
miles from Briey which was out of
range OF the French guns. A few air
plane raids were made on Briey, but
they had little important result. At
that time, the general added, the Ger
mans were working the metalfurgical
plants in that region.
In an article in the Matin. General
NJ ssimy, who was Minister of War at
the outbreak of the war. contributes an
article corroborating the statements
made in the chamber by M. Viviani.
Former Premier Viviani said that the
withdrawal from the Briey Valley. which
is an important iron region. had been
decided upon by the general staff in
July, 1914. and that when the govern
ment decided to move back the French
troops, having heard that the Germans
were moving toward the frontier, Cen
eral Joffre raised no objection.
The former Premier added that both
General Joffre and Minister Messimy had
declared that, for diplomatic reasons. it
was necessary that no incidents occur
at the frontier.

AGED MOTHER THINKS
CAR Is STILL ALIVE
Refuses to Leave Russia Until
Fate of Sons Is
Cleared
By The Associated Press

Paris, Feb. 3-Dowager Empress Ma
rie Feodorovna of Russia has cluug so
firmly to her belief that her sons. Nicho-
lass II and the Grand Duke Michael, are
not dead, that many of her friends have
been won over to that view and rumors
in the European press concerning Nicho-
las Romanoff's alleged whereabouts are
attracting much attention.
The aged mother OF the former
Car resolutely refuses to leave Russia
with her daughters until she learns posi-
lively the fate of her son. She con-
tinues to live simply at Ialta, Crimea,
declining invitations t0 visit the King
and Queen OF Rumania. and even her
sister. Queen Mother Alexandra of Great
Britain.
Lieutenant Colonel ]. w. Boyle. for
merly of the Canadian militia, who was
commanded by King Ferdinand of Ru-
mania to visit Yalta with a ship to
induce the Dowager Empress to seek
safety in Rumania, recently arrived in
Paris and told the Associated Press that
the Dowager Empress's declination was
most affecting. Lieutenant Colonel
Boyle says her hopefulness is convincing
and has spread to all her associates,
who do not believe the Bolshevist ac-
count of the murd ar OF Nicholas at
Ekaternburg and the death of Michael
at Perm.
The lieutenant colonel says that a
report of an investigation made by
Czech officers on the murder of the for
mer Emperor,s family, which is the only
reliable source of information, estab-
lished that buttons and Jewels belong
ing TO the former Emperors daughters
were found in the ashes where the
bodies of the entire Romanoff family
were supposed to have been burned. This
Is not conclusive evidence, in Lieutenant
Colonel Boyles opinion.

Hoover was destined to exhibit his will
power and determination early. A differ
ence resulting between him and his guar
dams as to the sort of education he
should have, Hoover stated firmly that
he was going to one of the big universe
ties for a scientific education. He was
not going to a Quaker college. His rela-
tives appear to have been equally firm
in their refusal to allow the fund left by
Hoover's parents for his schooling to be
diverted to such worldly purpose
SO we see Hoover next in Portland,
Ore, where "he earned his living and
nights and Sundays he worried by him
self through the studies he would have
had at preparatory school," Then in
1891 he successfully passed his examina-
tions for Stanford University--the first
boy to enter Stanford University and
sleep in the big dormitory.
Almost coincident with his arrival at
the university Hoover again exhibited
a little Of his determined character.
Though he had passed enough of his
entrance examinations he deemed it adj
visable to pass one more. He had day
to- prepare in a subject, and reviewing
the possibilities he decided on physiology,
with which he was entirely unfamiliar
He passed it-with twenty-four hours
preparation. Though he had only few
hundred dollars on@ entering the uni
versity and was consequently obliged to
work his way through college, he took
part in the student activities, and did his
first piece of organizing as treasurer of
the student body in putting the student
funds on a stable basis.
His desire was to be a mining en-
gineer and he took the requisite courses.
Then, having completed his college career,
he went to Grass Valley and took a lob
as an ordinary miner, which he kept
until he felt he had gained sufficient
experience. Next, he picked Louis Janin
IN California as one of the best mining
men in the state, and applied to him for
a job
Just because Janin did not have a lob
for him in his Office Hoover was not dis
outraged He said he was willing to
take position without salary for the
experience. When he was told that Job
as typist at $45 month was the only
position open Hoover replied that it was
just what he wanted SO he ended on
the engineers staff.
From then on Hoover began to see the
far corners of the world. The Western
States were first. An offer from an Aus

the streets Of the town with the calf in
tow. Before a building occupied by Ger
man troops the calf uttered a pathetic
moo, which was answered by its mother
within. Hoover explained to the sentry
at the gate that his cow was inside, as
the calf had demonstrated When the
sentry became fully cognizant of the
situation he took the calf also. 1t might
be added that Hoover recovered damages.
Zinc in Australia, prehistoric lead
mines in Burma, iron in Russia, all
claimed Hoover's attention, until he
became connected with a London COM
pany and finally went into business
for himself. And then the world war
arrived and on the edges of the whirlpool

fact is that it was successfully terminated
under the leadership of the President.
Petty criticisms of individual defects and
OF individual officials may attract attention
for awhile, but ultimately the big things
are the ones that count The Republican

away their time and energies in futile crit

Will demonstrate their inability to carry
on any reconstruction policies in compre-
henslve and satisfactory sense"
Concerning the Democratic defeat last
November, he expressed no alarm, say
ing:
"No friend Of the Administration Ia at
all disturbed by the results of the last
election 1t is a commonplace observation
that it any progressive programme has
been steadfastly maintained for certain
period of time there is likely to be q mo-
ment of reaction. You cannot effect re-
form without changing conditions, and you
cannot change conditions without produce
ing some irritation, and, if continued long
enough, the irritation will make itself felt
before the readjustment is completed"

tralian concern brought him to the island
continent, where his ability in organizing
mining work brought him quick recog-
milton, so rapid that in 1899-four years
after his graduation from college - he
started via the United States as Director
of Mines in China. A year later he stood
the siege in Tientsin, where he organ
lied his workers to look after the civic
routine of the city.
During this siege Hoover had his first
passage with German authority One day
Hoover lost his cow, lost her apparently
beyond recovery, until he thought of
scheme. The COW had gone from Hoover
but her calf, still of a tender age, had
not. One evening he marched through
