JOFFRE TELLS HIS ARMIES
..
' PARIS, Jan. 6. The order of tho dixy issued by General Joffre, tho
French commander-in-chief, to the army on New Year's Day has appeared
in nn army bulletin. ...... . t. xt,t
"Soldiers of the republic," Bays tho order, "at tho moment when this
year of war is terminating, you may consider your work with pride and
measure the grandeur of what you have accomplished. In the Artels, in
tho Champagne, in the Woevro rind in tho Vosj?es you havo inflicted
upon tho enemy resounding blows and caused him sanguinary losses,
losses incomparably greater than ours. Tho German army still holds
out, but sees its numbers and resources diminishing each day. Obliged
to succor weakening Austria, Germany must seek in secondary thentres
temporary nnd'easy successes that she has failed to gain on the principal
fronts. All the German colonies nro either isolated from the world or in
our hands. . . ,
"On tho other hand, the Allies aro reinforcing themsolvcs unceas
ingly. Let us be proud of our might and our right. Let us think of
the past only to find in it reasons for confidence. Let us think of our
dead only to avenge them. Whilo our enemies nro talking of peace, lot
us think only of war nnd victory,
"At tho beginning of a year that will be, thanks to you, a glorious
one for France, your commander-in-chief addresses to you from tho bottom
of his heart the most niTcctionnto greetings. J. JOFFRE.

WASHIN'OTON, Jan. . Americans
must adopt voluntary military training
or face compulsory service. This wns
Secretary of War Garrison's warning to
day, when he opened the army national
defense hearings before the House Mili
tary Committee.
Tho Secretary declared a large stand
ing army umlcslrablp nnd "utterly futile,"
and reliance upon State mllltla "utterly
unwarranted" ns nn "unstable founda
tion." His continental f.nny plan, ho
said, was the only fcnslblA alternative
if compulsory mtlltnry training and con
scription for service wns to bo avoided,
"If you adopt a Bystcm based on vol
untary action (the continental nrmy plan)
and thnt falls, then policies based on
universal service or some form of com
pulsory service will bo enacted aa the
only remaining remedy," said Garri
son. The Wnr Secretary read a lengthy state
ment to the committee In opening his ex
amination, outlining the Administration
nrmy preparedness program, Including In
crease of tho standing army to UO.000 mm,
the continental nrmy of 400,000 volunteers.
nnd lncrcnso of munition supplies and
strengthening of const fortifications.
"Tho people are now Insisting that such
proper measures for national defense
shall bo taken," said Garrison. "The In
tegrity of the nation nnd Its very ex
istence may depend upon what Is dono at
this time. Tho people have passed the
point of requiring further debato or rea
sons for necessity for such action.
"We may not solve our problem by
either a regular standing nrmy or at
tempting use of the mllltla."
Regarding Invoking tho Swiss or Aus
tralian universal training systems, Gar
rison said:
"Neither Is believed practicable at this
time. Tho natlonnl Government has no
Jurisdiction over the State's public school
Bystem. A constitutional amendment
would bo required to give It such Juris
diction. Furthermore It Is not believed
tho people have reached tho conclusion
thnt compulsory military service is a ne
cessity. "There Is a bollof nmong some that
we are now fnctng a crisis. This Is not
the proper view. There Is common agree
ment that we should havo CO0.O0O men
subject to Instant call."
Federalizing of the National Guard,
Garrison sold, was Impossible, because
tho Government tncks authority over
State mllltla. Ho disapproved tho Fed
eral mllltla pay bill. That the mllltla bo
given the right to enter the continental
army "grade for grade" he recommended.
In his opinion the Stntes and. not tho
Federal Government should pay tho Na
tional Guard.
BEIILTN, Jan. 6. A furious nnd sus
tained Attack Is being directed against
Lens by tho Allies' artillery, tho Ger
man War OJTlco announced today. Two
Allied noroplanes have been shot down

stroyed by Lieutenant Boclke, who haB
now seven air victories to his credit,
Tho text of the atntement follows:
"West front Artillery duels nro taking

SLAVS STRONG ON PRUTH
LONDON. Jon, 6.
Much uncwtftlntr Is felt In military
clrclos her as to tho fate' of Czernowltz.
capital of the Austrian province of nuko
wlno, which unofficially has been roportcd
evacuated by tho Austrians. Reports
from Austrian eources tocelved hero In
dicate that at least part of tho city lias
been nbandoned by tho Austrian troops.
The Czar'a attacking column holds tho
heights dominating this city, and '3 strong
alonu tho river Pruth.
C2ernowlU already has changed hands
four times In the courao of tho war.
Ccrnowltz lies in n deep valley. Tho
town Itself Is not of great strategic vnluo
except for Us railroads. Its fall Is likely
to have greater political thn.ri military
significance, ns an outstanding success by
tho llusslsns at this time would bo likely
to have ft far-reaching effect on Rumania.
"VVhllo tho battle on the borders of Bes
sarabia Is apparently still far from de
cision, each day finds the Kusslans claim
ing tho occupation cf additional cnomy
positions, and Petrograd believes that If
thU process continues a short imo longer
a break must comj Bomewhero in tho
lines of the Control Powers.
Tho whole energy of tho Russian army
Is being directed to making a gap be
tween tho German armies In tho centra
and the southern Austrian forces, and
the desperntc Austrian attacks In tho re
gion of Kolkl arc designed to prcent this.
Tho fighting must continue for n consid
erable time yet. but upon tho result will
depend In largo measure tho strategy of
both sides when spring comes.
A dispatch to a Rcrlln newspaper from
tho Bukowlna front describes, f s lighting
there since Christmas Day'ns unexam
pled. The HusslanB havo concentrated
moro than 200 guns nnd throe divisions of
Infantry (M,000) men on a front of threo
quartera of n mile. Th battle reached
Its height on December 28, when the Rus
sians attacked 14 times and thcro was
furious hand-to-hand fighting.
AUSTRIANS WIN EVERYWHERE
IN THE EAST, BERLIN TOLD
RERUN, Jan. 6. "In Hast Galicia
and on tho Bukowlna frontier our
troops at all points were victorious
again yesterday," says last night's olll-
elat statement from Austrian genorai
headquarters.
"On tho Bessarablan front, oftor a
very strong artillery flro early in tho
afternoon, another Infantry attack was
directed mjalnst our positions near
Toporuts nnd on the frontier east of
Raraneio (soven miles northeast of
Czernowltz), where tho enemy at some
points advanced In eight lines close to
our position. His columns collapsed
i... . .... ,niM. Thn Croatian nnd
South Hungarian regiments distinguished
themselves.
"Russian attacks against the bridge
head near Usclewko and In tho sector
of Jnslowlco (on the Strlpa) also failed.
Further north thero were no Important
events."
