Joffre on the Grill.
From the Boston Transcript.


The modern general has a harder prob
lem to face and solve than ever a general
o. the past had. re must face ard Beat
the enemy If he can; but he must face a
committee of congress or parliament af-
terward whether he be victor or van
pushed. Even in France. where the in
vestigating committee is rather a new
thing, Marshal Joffre has had to appear
before a committee % the m of
deputies and tell why he did not defend
the Briey iron mining district, and why
he did not provide against an attack
through Belgium. and the marshal could
only respond to the inquiries that the de-
Tense of Briey was beyond his power, and
that at Charleroi he was simply beaten,
and his heart broken, because the power
of the enemy was vastly greater and its
tactics better than his own. The ultimate
answer to both the questions addressed to
him was that an unprepared nation was
matched against one which was thor
oughly prepared.

Mr.. 3. B. Jones, the oil multi-mil
lionGire, formerly of Oklahoma, aow
with his home in Washington, d. c.,
has been in Columbus the past week.
Mr.. Jones was here overlooking the
beoeficent work he is doing in this
section, which is varied ard covers a
wide scale. He was accompanied by
Mr.. Paul Murphy, Of Lexington, Miss.
a prominent and successful citizen of
that place and a prominent Mason
who is largely interested in the sue
cess of the various philanthropic en-
terprises il which Mr.. Jones is in
terested.
Mr.. jones presented to the college
the large farm which is being i'm
proved and will be devoted to college
uses. The farm is located on the Tus-
caloosa road just across the water
works bridge and the farm is well on
the way to the realization Of its pur-
poses, handsome buildings having been
erected, chicken and hog houses hav-
ing been built, barns and stables all
&ttesting his generosity. In addition
the farm has the finest dairy herd of
Jerseys in this section and hogs
which surpass in value any in this
county.
Mr.. Jones also pays the tuition,
board and all expenses Of twenty-five
deserving young ladies who are Sc
curing an education at the college and
he was here visiting the girls. They
were his guests at supper last Sun

has spent much time with them, dis
cussing their plans for the future and
being generally interested in their sue
cess.
Among his recent benefactions was
a gift of $25,0O0 to the Masonic wild
ows ald orphans funds of this State
and this money will go towards the
care and education Of the Masons'
daughters and the widows of the
State. He, it is understood, is en-
trusting his work in this State to Mr..
Murphy who will personally look af-
ter the same.
Mr.. Jones was formerly a railroad
man, who speculated in oil in Oklaho-
ma only to find that he was a mil
lionaire overnight. He. subsequently
amassed an immense fortune the in
come Of which is applied doing good
in every way possible. He is not os-
tentatious in his charities but pursues
his humble way and little do people
realize his great wealth or the great
good he is doing with it.

PAVING SITUATION
ENOW IMPROVING
GO0SENECKS ARRIVE AND
MORE ARE COMING {
PIPING HERE
ALSO
TRACKS REMOVED
COncreting Will Regin This
Week And Will BE Pushed
All Possible Speed
Cement Shipped

The business section is happy. The
goosenecks are here.
That is, twenty-five of these things
arrived by express froom Pittsburg,
notwithstanding the steel strike, and
one hundred more have been shipped.
1t requires one gooseneck for ore
building, that is, if galvanized pipilg
is to be installed so that there will not
be any tearing up of the paving aftes
it is down. This settles the goose
neck situation for with twenty-five
here and hundred more coming il
is surmised that this will be enough.
Now for the contractor, Mr.. Terry
His tractor engine with which he j.
to plow up the present paving, is
here, repaired and in operation. His
new road concrete mixing machine has
arrived and is ready for business
There is enough cement in the city to
pave about two blocks and he expects
to begin the paving work this week
Mr.. Terry as soon as he secured the
contract for the city work placed ar
order for six thousand barrels of &C.
ment and shipment was to begin OF
October the first. None of this ship.
ment has been received thus far bu'
he is expecting to receive consign
ment daily. This is the only thinl
that can possibly delay the york nov
and it is hoped that this delay WON'T
be long.
AS to the street car situation it is
improving. A force of mdl is taking
mp the car line on North Market
street and this week will see the re
moval of the rails and grading of this
section. This will enable the work
to progress without hindrance or de-
lay in this section while the othc'
section will be free Of this obstruction
before the paving force reaches it.
The telephone company promises
not to delay the work further. Their
plan is to serve the blocks north of
Main street by connections with the .
rear of the buildings, thus saving
the laying of cables in this setcion.
A cable will have to be laid on Main
for the Columbus National Bank block
and this will begin this week.
A force of men will be put to work
this week connecting the water and
gas mains with the city blocks and
as soon as this is completed the paw
ing will begin. The concrete is to be
six inches deep, in proportions of 1928
which is one of cement, two of sand,
and three of gravel.
Mr.. Terry says the people will be
delighted with work when it is COM
pleted.
