General Joffre Will Rank in His-

YOUNGER MAN IN HIS PLACE

Be at Service of Allies as
War Council Head.
Paris.—General Joffre has been su-
perseded. The active command of the
French armies In the field has been
placed In the hands of a youuger mau,
General Nivelle, the hero of Verdun.
General Joffre has been made head of
the ullled war council. Unprejudiced
observers agree he has today the great-
est military record of any of the lead-
ers In the present war. lie will rank In
history with Napoleon I, ilaunibal,
Caesar and George Washington.
lie won the buttle of the Marne.
where defeat would have meant com-
plete Germun success In the conflict,
lie won it twice—first, by directing
French preparations In the critical
years, 1911 to 1914, and, second, by
leading the armies of the Republic
tn that fateful month of September,
1914, on the field of buttle.
Joffre has commanded the armies of
a warring nation longer than any other
man in this war. liindenburg's victo-
ries in the two battles of East Prussia
Involved smaller numbers of men and
smaller responsibilities by far than
those which the Idol of the French peo-
ple has borne through more than tw
years of heart-wracking strife.
The Old Man of the Lakes follows
von Falkenhayn aud von Moltke as
supreme mllitury leader—under the
kaiser—of Germany. Who knows how
long he will last? In the British land
forces Sir Douglus Huig has superseded
French; in Itussiu the Grand Duke
Nicholas has given place to the czar,
und General AlexielY sharing highest
command; In Austria-Hungary the
leadership has shifted and finally been
given almost entirely into allen hands
while Italy's troops, although always
under General Count Cadorna, hav
not been fighting so long as those of
the other great powers.
Age His Only Fault.
The slowing-up of the battle of the
Somme without a distinguished allied
success, has been a great disappoint
ment to France. Hut few Frenchmen
blame Joffre for this. Criticism of him
has to find comfort In the fact that l^e
Is old, that he fought in the Franco-
Prussian war, and that his driving
force theoretically should be exceeded
by that of a younger man.
He is one of a group of great
French leaders who got their earlier
training In the 1870-71 struggle with
Germuny. The others of the group
Include the one-armed hero, General
Pau, and General Foch, who has been
in direct command of the Somme op-
erations.
The present war has brought to the
fore certain younger officers. Men who
were only colonels or less when the
struggle commenced are now com-
manding army groups. Paris politl
clans of the iutrlgulng sort have been
demanding for some time that the old
er leaders step aside and let the young-
sters show what they can do.
Hut uothiug that may happen can
dim the great glory of Joffre. It Is
safe to say that a vote by either the
soldiers or the civilians of France
would continue him in the post he has
held since 1911.
In that year the archaic French mili-
tary organization started toward re-
form. The army was to have Its first
real commander In chief In many
years. Cabinet, army leaders and the
people alike united In the demand that
this position go to General Pau.
Hut Pau, the patriot, standing In a
great council, declined the honor.
Pointing to Joffre, he said: "There
stands the only possible man."
So Joffre was selected, because Pau
wanted him as his superior. The choice
was a disappointment to the public,
to whom Joffre was little known.
In many ways Joffre is more Ger-
man than Parisian. Sober, simple in
habits, Industrious, rising at five and
going to bed at ten, and making no
great public appearance, he was not
the figure to strike the French imag-
ination at first view.
Strong for Efficiency.
His career had already been marked
by several acts of gallantry, but ii was
as an efficiency man, an engineer, a
systemutizer and organizer, who was
not too proud to learn from the kais-
er's great general staff, that he had
impressed Pau and Castelnau and oth-
ers who now became his immediate
Instruments in regenerating the French
army.
Joffre Is not the Frenchman of Paris,
but the hard-working peasant type
which made France great, lie was
born In Itlversaltes, in the East Pyre-
nees. and loves today to talk the Cata-
lan dialect with his old friends there.
He was the third of eleven children-
no race suicide, one may deduct. The
family were traditionally coopers, and
none of them had had military careers.
There is some Spuulsh blood in Joffre's
veins.
As a hoy he was modesi, gentle and
sweet-tempered. He was even looked
down upon by certain masculine spir-
its in school—this boy who was to be-
come the man of iron and direct fif-
teen million soldiers.
At fifteen he astounded his parents
and friends by announcing he intend-
ed to compete for the Polytechnic
school in Paris, the great training
place for artillery officers. He passed
fourteenth in his entrance examina-
tions among 132, and would have
stood much higher had his German
not been rather weak on points of
grammar, a falling of his In which
the French people now tuke a certain
delight.
Before he could finish his course the
Franco-Prussian war began and
Joffre became a sub-lieutenant in a
Paris fort. Here he got little chance
to distinguish himself, but the hor-
rors of the siege left a great impres-
sion on his mind and heightened his
patriotism.
Directly after the conclusion of
peace he was employed In reconstruct-
ing the Paris fortifications. His work
so pleased Marshal McMahon when
he came to inspect it that he made the
lieutenant a captain on the spot.
First Came Into Fame.
In 1885 he went to Indo-Chlna,
where he built the defenses of Haut-
Tonkln. He constructed a railroad In
Senegal and the defenses of Diego-
Suarez in Madagascar.
In 1887 he became a professor of
fortifications in the army school at
I4 ontainebleau, and afterward he was
director of engineering for the minis-
try. As an army corps commander at
Lille and Amiens he gained Intimate
knowledge of the country where
fighting Is now going on.
Almost his only blast of fame came
in 1893. He was commander of a na-
tive column In Africa. Colonel Bon-
nier, who commanded the main line,
had encountered disaster. Thirteen of
his officers and Bonnier himself had
been killed. Joffre had been ordered
to ascend the left bank of the Niger
from Segu to Timbuctoo and take pos-
session of the land which still re-
mained Independent of France.
He went about the expedition In his
usual methodical fashion, studying the
country and its method of warfare,
and after Bonnler's death he made a
march of 500 miles under grent diffi-
culties and planted the tricolor over
Timbuctoo for the first time.
When In 1914 the great call came
Joffre was a member of the higher
council of war, a body of 11 men, from
whom the commander In chief In time
of war would be selected. He wus
known as "Joffre the Monk," partly be-

At General von Falkenhnyn's Head-
quarters in Houmanla.—One of the
most interesting features of the Rou-
manian campaign, from a German
standpoint, has been the spectacular
work of the new armored automobiles
evolved soon after the advent of the
British "tanks" on the Somme front,
but which the developments in Itou-
manla have shown to J>e a vast im-
provement In efficiency over the Brit-
ish machines.
Even In the brief tests it has had
since the Germans crossed the moun-
tains into the Koumunlan plains the
new German armored car has shown
itself an efficient auxiliary to the cav-
alry In patrol work, as It frequently
cun inflict infinitely more damage than
a whole squadron, and Is fur more dif-
ficult to destroy than the English ma-
chine. Its achievements so far in-
clude an attack on Roumanian infantry
In which 300 Roumanians were killed.
Like a Motor Truck.
The cars are 25 feet In length, with
wheels a foot wldo and incased in
solid rubber. They carry u crew of
ten men, including the machine-gun
operators, the chauffeur and one sub-
stitute and one officer.
The machine guns can be operated
In almost any direction through nar-
row slits. At one end, under the cus-
tomary hood, is a 100-horse-power mo-
tor, and at the other end, under a sim-
ilar hood, Is the gasoline tank. Each
man in the crew Is an expert me-
chanic and chauffeur, so If a bullet
bursts through t' i slit through which
the operator looks In driving there
are others ready aud competent to
take the injured man's place.
The automobile engine is both air
and water-cooled. The car shell Is
impervious to muchine gun and rifle
fire. When no opponent is In sight
the top of the turret can be opened
so that a man can get his shoulders
out and make observations.
When the turret is closed periscopes
re placed In position, which permit
view of the surrounding landscape
from all angles.
There have been many odd experi-
ences with these automobiles in Rou-
manla. On one of the first trips a
car entered a village not yet captured,
here the officer und his crew were
tause of the decency of his private
life and partly because of his abstem-
ious daily regime. He could do only
one thing better than work, it is said,
and that was sleep. The night fol-
lowing the disheartening reverse at
Charleroi he slumbered for a few
hours as peacefully as a baby. He
has no nerves.
Joffre, Millerand, minister of war,
and Polncare, premier and later presi-
dent, were the triumvirate which cre-
ated the France that stopped Germany
ut the Marne.
The first thing Joffre did as com-
mand^* in chief was to stop civilian
spying on army officers to discover
whether they attended mass. The sec-
ond was to dismiss five of the show-
iest generals In the French army—be-
cause they betrayed Incompetence In
maneuvers.
Made Many Reforms.
Ills reforms were almost countless.
He specialized In the new departments
—telephones, telegraphs, automobiles
and airplanes—and brought his army
to a technical efficiency second to none.
He had a large part In bringing
about the three-year urmy service law,
by which France raised her standing
army from 485,000 to 600,000 men, and
so had enough to meet the ousluught
of Germany's 820,000.
Then came the great war, the story
of which is fresh In every mind. Jof-
fre had seen it coming, and with the
English field marshal, Roberts, had
warned against it. His brain and per-
sonality stood the test of actual strug-
gle as well as It had met the problems
of preparedness. He found time from
his work in the field to meet and van-
quish the lnfumous peace cabal of Call-
laux.
Following the battle of the Mnrne
his power increased, rather than di-
minished. In January, 1916, It was
announced that the government had
decided to Interfere with military op-
erations In no way from that time
forth. The commander in chief was
supreme.
A further honor and responsibility
came to him after the great council
of all the allies, when supreme mili-
tary direction was resolved upon and
placed In Joffre's hands. Since then
he has directed the masses of the
czar as well as the new armies of
Great Britain. Only on the sea, where
the British hold sway, was the direc-
tion of the war out of his hands.
At the age of sixty-four—he was
born January 12, 1852—he may well
look back on his life work with as
much satisfaction as Kitchener and
face whatever changes fate may have
In store for him with equanimity.
ENROLL FRENCH WOMEN
Paris.—A woman's committee
presided over by Mme. Boutroux,
wife of the celebrated philoso-
pher, has been organized to en-
roll woman volunteers In the
service of the country. It is ap-
pealing to all women to Inscribe
their names, with a statement of
their aptitudes and the time they
will be able to devote to work
in different categories when their
services may be needed.
Enrolling offices will be opened
soon and a comprehensive effort
will be made to enlist all the
women of France in the service
of the nation.

FEEDING AND FOOD SHELTERS.
Birds may be attracted about the
homestead by furnishing them with an
abundance of food. It Is Important to
note that an ample supply of food
prior to and during the nesting season
tends to Increase the number of eggs
luld and also the number of broods
In a season. Bird food may be sup-
plied In two ways—by planting trees,
shrubs and herbs which produce seeds
or fruits relished by birds, and by ex-
posing food In artificial devices. The
most familiar phase of the latter
method Is winter feeding.
Artificial Food Supply.
During the season when the natural
food supply is at Its lowest ebb birds
respond most readily to our hospital-
ity. Winter feeding has become very
popular, and the result has been to
bring about better understanding be-
tween birds and humankind.
The winter foods commonly used In-
clude suet or other fat, pork rinds,
Coconut Larder.
of food hoppers ajid food houses. The
food hoppers In common use for do-
mestic fowls are adapted to the feed-
ing of birds, and some special forms
are now manufactured for wild birds.
The food house is a permanent
structure, with solid roof, and glass
on one or more sides to permit obser-
vations (Fig. 4). The food trays It
contains are entirely sheltered from
the weather. In one style this result
Is obtained by mounting the house on
a pivot and furnishing It with vanes
(Fig. 5) which keep the open side al-
ways away from the wind.
Game birds and sparrows may be
provided with feeding places by erect-
ing low hutches or making wigwam-
like' shocks of corn or grain sheaves
under which food may be scattered.
The opening should be to the south.
Those who desire to huve birds
about their homes should not feel that
their power to attract them Is gone
when winter Is over. Winter feeding
easily passes Into summer feeding,

taken for Russians, because the Ger-
mans were not supposed to have arm-
ored cars.
Just as the crew was being enthusi-
astically greeted three Roumanian lo-
comotive drivers tried to get their en-
gines away, but the automobile was
too swift for them. The machine
raced abend, the crew destroyed a por-
tion of the track and the automobile
received the engines with a withering
fire, which forced their surrender after
they had been disabled.
On the return to the village the crew
was again greeted by the population,
but this time with white flags of sur-
render.
Routs Roumanian Infantry.
On another occnsion an automobile
encountered a force of Roumanian in-
fantry and opened Are before the
troops could seek shelter. The Rou-
manians fled after 60 seconds of firing
from the enr, leaving 300 dead and 50
wounded.
The great usefulness of the auto-
mobiles has been most apparent In
Roumanla, where the character of the
warfare makes it possible to slip be-
hind the opponent's lines. On a re-
cent exploit of this kind the com-
mander worked his way to the- rear of
a body of Roumanian infantry which
was Intrenching, and almost before the
Roumanians were aware of the car's
presence it had swept the trenches
with machine gun fire and driven the
defenders out in disorder.
None of the German automobiles of
this type used In Roumanla has as yet
been disabled or destroyed by oppo-
nents. The bullets thus far encoun-
tered have hardly dented the shells of
the machine.
The chief advantage of the new auto-
mobile, In contrast with the British
machine, is that it can run at an aver-
age speed of 25 miles an hour, ns con-
trasted with the snail-like pace of the
entente cars. Its speed frequently en-
ables It to scout even ahead of the
cavalry, and it can make Its way over
any road or even a field.

meats, meal worms, cut-up apples, bird
seed, buckwheat, crackers, crumbs, co-
conut meat, cracked corn, broken dog
biscuits or other bread, hemp seed, mil-
let, nut meats of all kinds (especially
peanuts), whole or rolled oats, pep-
pers, popcorn, pumpkin or squash
seeds, raw or boiled rice, sunflower
seed and wheat
The methods of making these sup-
plies available to birds are as varied
as the dietary Itself. A device very
commonly used is the food tray or
shelf (Fig. 1). This may be put on a
tree or pole by a window or at some
other point about a building, or strung
upon a wire or other support on
which It may be run back and forth.
The last device Is useful in accustom-
ing birds to feed nearer and nearer
a comfortable observation point. A
fault with food shelves is that wind
and rain ms.y sweep them clean and
snow may cover the food. These de-
fects may be obviated in part by add-
ing a raised edge about the margin
or by placing the shelf In the shelter
of a wall or shielding It with evergreen
branches on one or more sides.
Feeding devices not affected by the
weather are preferable. An excellent
one is a coconut with a hole bored
In one end (Fig. 2). The cavity is
filled with chopped suet and nuts or
other food mixture, and the nut Is
suspended by a wire from a limb. The
size of the hole regulates the charac-
ter of the guests; If small, large birds
cannot gobble the supply. The coco-
nut meat as well ns the stuffing Is eat-
en. Cans with small openings may be
substituted for coconuts. Food bas-
kets of any desired size made of wire
netting or /i metal grating may be
hung up or fastened to the trunk of a
tree. Food mixtures lu melted fat
may be poured Into holes made In a
branch or stick (Fig. 3) or In cracks
of bark or over evergreen branches.
All of these devices minimize or obvi-
ate the disturbing effects of stormy
weather.

Fixing for Kinfolks.
When one kind of kinfolks are com-
ing out to dinner, wife calls up the
grocery man and says:
"Ha"a you some nice friers? Well,
sen-.l me two of the smallest ones you
have. If your celery is real nice you
may send me a bunch of it. The last
I got was so old that I had to throw
it away. And, let me see, 1 want a
small bottle of olives. Have you some
nice lettuce? Well send me fifteen
cents' worth, and I want fifteen cents'
worth of tomatoes, aud,will you pick
out nice ones, please? The last to-
matoes you sent me weren't very good.
I believe that Is all. No, I want a
pound of walnuts, the smallest bottle
of cherries you have, a package of
gelatin and a bottle of double cream."
But If a different kind of kinfolks
are couflng, she says to the grocery
man: "Send me a loaf of bread and a
can of hominy." You see, she already
has some spuds In the bouse.—Fort

"We'll see," said the West Wind.
"So the East Wind began to blow
and the King of the Clouds with a
few of the Raindrops came out
"Hello," said the King of the Clouds.
"I somehow don't feel ns If I were
wanted today. I think I'll come an-
other day. And as for my Raindrops—
they are so sensitive that they won't
come out. I could only bring these
few."
"I do want you very much," said the
East Wind. "But that naughty West
Wind wants to blow me away aud talk
to Mr. Sun."
At that the King of the Clouds dis-
appeared, and the Sun came out.
"Well," said the Sun to the West
Wind. "Can't you give an old fellow
a better welcome than this? I'd like
to Beam and inline and have a good

where around and It makes me feel

"You mustn't feel nervous, dear Mr.

And so the quarrel went on. The

"Well," said another Grown-Up, "you
know the Weather is upt to be like that

"Yes, we never know what the

another Grown-Up.
Now when the West Wind and the

they all chuckled and laughed.

WILL ON TORN BIT OF PAPER
Maine Hermit, who Had Been Thought
Penniless, Left Thousands to
a Nephew.
The will of Charles Purlnton, who
died In this city last July, was ad-
mitted to probate recently, according
to an Auburn, Me., correspondent of
the Boston Globe. It was written on
a torn and ragged piece of paper by
the testator.
It was as follows:
"Auburn, .Me., May 8, 1014. The per-
son who finds this give It to Ralph E.
Locke. I will all my estate to him, to
pay $100 to all other heirs, and set a
stone for me In the yard. Charles
Purlnton. Witnesses, J. P. Hutchin-
son, Samuel Ashwell, I. V. McKenney."
All of the witnesses to the will are
dead and the will was proved by prov-
ing the handwriting of the witnesses.
When Mr. Purlnton died he was sup-
posed to be practically a puuper, but
after his death bankbooks showing de-
posits of more than $20,000 were found
In the little old house at Murston's
Corner, In which he had lived for 30
years as a hermit, with hardly the
necessities of life. Mr. Locke, to
whom lie left his estate. Is a nephew.
Mr. Locke not long ago went to the
house at Murston's Corner ami found
an old wallet hidden among the mat-
tresses of the bed. In the wallet he
found Liu* will, and tied up with It a
worn and battered copy of the New
Testament.
