troops We're not provided with tobacco.
Before the battle of the Marne he
spent many sleepless nights. On the
eve of the memorable order for the
counter attack he appeared more silent
and grave than usual. Tired and
worried he felt the night chill and
asked me to light wood fire in his
room, and when the fire was roaring
in the chimney place we saw him
mounting the spiral stairway slowly
with measured PAGES, stopping at each
step and often resting his forehead on
his hand against the banister as if un-
dergoing almost superhuman anguish.
But it was not because he was
nervous. 1t was only because the
rough soldier had a sensitive heart. I
am convinced that he was thinking
only of the horrors of the approaching
battle, for / have seen him crying like
a child before the corpse of one OF his
beloved poilus."
All during the conflict. according to
Pierre, Marshal Joffre maintained the
gravest calm, relaxing into temporary
gayety with his fellow officers when
comforting news arrived. but like
Kitchener and Roberts he realized that
war was not sport and was constantly
warning subalterns against being too
optimistic.
Marshal Joffre often visits his old
chef and always insists that he pre-
pare a special vegetable dish called
LA Lorraine" of which he was fond
during the trying days of 1914.

Three striking facts can be deduced
from the collection Of official statistics
issued as a White Paper by the Home
Office on the business Of the civil courts.
First: Husbands are apparently more
faithful than wives.
Second In more than 40 per cent. OF
divorce cases there are no children
from the marriage.
Third: The first five years OF married
life are the easiest.
In 1919 the number of divorces In
creased ia per cent. over 1918. and the
total was three and half times higher
than In 1913.
The classification OF petitions shows
that for every suit filed by wife four
are filed by husbands.

suits have been married more than ten
years, and In 81 per cent. they were
under 81 years old at the time OF mar

French Morocco will be peaceable
enough for an honest citizen to live
there by the end of next year If the
recent French successes against the
tribal elements continue. There are
now only three districts to be pacified-
The first is a small region along the
Spanish zone frontier in the north,
the second comprises the so-called
middle Atlas group, difficult noun
tain region, and the third. another bas-
tile mountain section IN the south,
where the authority of the mountain
native chiefs is alone recognized 50
far.
Already Gen. Aubert. under the direc-
ton of Marshal Lyautay, has made con-
siderable progress in the middle Atlas
region by conquering the area known
as Benz -Ourain. Two French columns
have been operating there since April

the west. These columns have suc-

tains. thus completely cutting off the
eni-Ourain tribes from the remainder
of the strongly fortified tribes. Three
months of daily fighting, raiding and
reconnoitring has cost the French army
only forty-nine casualties, one of which
was an officer who was only slightly
wounded, while the enemy's list OF dead
runs into the thousands.
Eleven outposts have been established
along the N,sl frontier. embracing more
than 10.c00 native families. only 1,600 of
which still refuse to accept outright
French domination. Attention Is now
to be directed toward conquering the
Zais region, where the operations have
taken a definite punitive character. If
this can be cleaned within eighteen
months the remaining opposition. 1t Is
believed. will be almost certain to coll
lapse without fighting of any kind.
Political observers attached to Mar
shall Lyautay's forces. however, called
attention recently to the serious anti
French propaganda that is being car
ried on from the Spanish side of the
frontier led by Baden en- Salah, long
known as an Austrian protege and spy,
and Abdul Malek, formerly prominent
In Gernaany's service.

Despite the overwhelming evidence
that the life of the Czarevitch was not
spared in the holocaust of Ekaterinberg,
a pretender to Russian authority has
arisen, and is likely some day to prove
to be thorn in the Soviet flesh AS in
other cases of lost nobility. this false
Alexis has not found any difficulty In
rallying a certain number or peasants to
his cause.
He counted without Russian shrewd-
ness. however, for the Soviet Generals
sought out the one former member OF
the royal household whose evidence was
definite--Pierre Gilliard, former school
master to the Grand Duke. Gilliard has
Just published book of memoirs
wherein he relates that late In 1913,
while stopping at Omsk, he was sent
for by the General who had brought the
pretender from the Altaian Plains.
THE population cheered and received
the false Alexis with enthusiasm, taking
UP collections, and the Director of the
Post Office had offered bread and salt to
the Little Father on bended knees"
says Gilliard. Naturally this would
have provoked trouble II 1t had con-
tinued. But they showed me youth
apparently 16 or IS years old. BY the
color of his sailor costume and by the
manner In which his hair was arranged

Aviation experts are still following
the example Of pioneers like Wilbur
Wright in learning from birds how to
fly. Now they are taking hints from
that stunt flying expert, the bat. in
order to make night flying safer, and
experiments already show progress.
Bats can avoid obstacles they cannot
see. Experimenters blindfolded sew
eral bats and released them in room
which was crossed by many wires and
divided from another room by grid
containing holes just big enough for
a bat to fly through. The bats never
touched the wires. and flew through
the holes with ease.
The experiment revealed the bats

conveying such accurate information to
his sensitive ears that he can map out
the space in front of him without any
uncertainty.
Planes May Do Likewise.
It Is now thought the airplane may
do the same thing. Instruments are be-
ing devised so sensitive that they will
record visibly and before the airman's
eyes the progressive increase of such
sounds as ground or any other object is
approached. Information would be sup
piled equally well In the dark or in mist
and since sound travels twelve to four
teen times faster than the fastest plane
the warning would come In plenty OF
time to avoid accidents.
A safe and sane mooring mast has
been erected at the Croydon air station
after the refusal of several timid NJ. P.'s
to climb the $50 foot iron ladder hereto
fore used. The new mast has 236 mar
row steps winding up spiral to plat
form and a canvas covered gangway
from the platform to the interior Of the
airship
Recently members of Parliament were
invited to take a flight in the R36. but
about half Of them refused to attempt
the perilous climb up the mooring mast.
The designers are trying their best to
popularize airship flying in England.
and so designed the new mast, which
was built in twelve days at Croydon.
Stairs Lessen Fright.
II is found that the stairs do not
frighten passengers so much as the lad
der and the gangway. even though COW
cred only by canvas has the psyche
logical effect of inspiring security.
When the R36 flew over the Ascot
races 1t remained afloat twelve hours.
but several of the passengers worried
continually about the climb down the
mooring mast When the time for this
came two passengers were completely
overcome with such sickness that 1t
was necessary for men belonging to the
crew to carry them across the narrow
gangplank and help them down the
ladder.
The principle of the new mooring
mast remains the same. and designers
are planning mast with lifts and a
fenced in gangway. so that women will
be able 10 board the airships without
difficulty.
