the name of Joseph Joffre, marshal of

of the other famed leaders In the
World war who have passed on. Clad
in the black tunic and red breeches he
wore in 1014, Joffre lay in state for
two days in the chapel of the war col
lege, On his breast was only one dec
oration, the Medaille Militaire which
is granted only to army commanders
and privates. Tuesday night the body
was taken on a gun ccisson, escorted
by cavalry holding torches, under the
Arc de Triomphe to the Cathedral of
Notre Dame, Wednesday morning in
the cathedral the services were con
ducted by Cardinal Verdier, archhish
op of Paris. The remains were then
placed in a vault in the chapel of the
Invalides besides the blers of Na

heroes. They will remain there for
several weeks and will then be buried
at the Joffre country home at Lou
