Session Of Presbyterians at
Winona Lake.

The ono hundred and thirty-thrd
general assembly Of the Presbyterian
Church will convene on May 10 at
Winona Lake, Ind. During this assem-
bly, many important church problems
will come up for discussion and action.
New missionary departments will be in
aueurated.
The question of reducing the number
of delegates to the assembly will be one
of the first things up for discussion.
II has been felt for years that with the
growth of tho rambler of churches the
commissioners have increased to such
an extent that tho meetings have be-
come difficult TO handle. and that. in
stead of holding them In a large church.
Il has become necessary to hire n con-
vention hall. which is exceedingly hard
TO procure. The large number OF dele
gates IL is contended also, means an
enormous unnecessary EXPENSE TO the
church. Tho overture for a change I'm
this matter will be presented by nine of
the largest presbyterians in the coun-
try, which will ask for change In the
form of government, by which the COM
missioners will he elected for two yeara
instead of one. one-haf the number TO
hold over 10 the following assembly.
Another very important matter to be
voted on will he the overture providing
for the eligibility of women TO serve
as dcacons in the church. which was
introduced for the first time at the last
assembly held in this city. The aues-
ton was deferred for action until this
year In order 10 permit each presbytery

yate. saluting. i thought you were
Papa Joffre.'
The truth Of that story will not be
doubted by anyone who has seen Papa
Joffre" There is only one word which
/ can think OF that is adequately APP
plicable to him. / do not think l have
ever used il before with reference to
man. The French marshal is beautiful
beautiful in the expression OF his
eyes, in his complexion, in his simple
and dignified bearing and. most of all,
In the delightful spirit of his contact
and conversation with his fellows
Now and then during the war when

impressed by his own superiority TO all
ordinary mortals. / wished all men In
authority might have learned manners
from the man who saved the world at
the battle of the Marine.
One of the reasons why JofYre will
always hold a distinct place in my
memory, a peculiar place in my affec-
ton. is because, of all those who came
seeking American cooperation, he.
more than any man. displayed his faith
In the American soldier. his desire to
have American manhood at the front.
Joffre Asks for Men.
Men Of the allied missions were thor
oughly convinced that we could be OF
immediate use in a very valuable way
by providing money. food. munitions.
II was on these things most Of them
were inclined 10 lay the early emphasis.
But Joffre from. the first day asked
COR men.
Money, food, munitions! Yes. splen-
did. and thank you, but how soon can
we have men?
1t is possible we would have been
several weeks or months longer in get
ting TO France with our fighting forces
If IL had not been for the quiet insist
ence of Joffre.
Others talked of the long training
that would be necessary to prepare men
for fighting in Europe; of the neces-
sity of retaining our regulars at home
in order TO train a great army that
might begin TO reach France six or
eight months later.
Joffre said: 81 hope you can send
troops this summer. Our sore need Is
fresh soldiers--sturdy. vigorous Ameri-
cans"
Joffre had seen those sturdy. vigor
