JOFFRE, THE MAN
lie was but flftj'-elght years old. Ills
rapid strides In tho last part of his career
not only fully made up tho loss of time In
Its early stages, but carried him forward
on n crltnblo tidal wave of promotion.
Honors hno never brought rest with
them to Joffre. Kery step In his advance
ment meant greater activity to him. But
overy such step seemed to rejuvenate him :
he found new strength at every sound of
duty's call.
COMMAXDISR-IN'-CHIKF
When In 1911 It was decided to abolish
tho dual power In tho army nnd to .oncen

It was nt the height of the Morocco

"coup d'Agndlr," when' the political horizon
was covered with dark clouds, when It
seemed Impossible that pence could bo pre

Germany was thought to be Inevitable, that
General Joffre assumed the Buprcme com

ing seen his namo In tho army bulletin;
none knew why he was chosen.
But those who placed upon General
Joffrc's shoulders the responsibility for the
future welfare of the nation knew well
the reasons for their r.ctlons.
It was M. Catllaux. then Prime Minister,
and M. Messlmy, Secretary of War nt the
time, who brought to President Falllcres
for Ills signature the decrco that was to
mnko General Joffre head of the' French
army. But the choice of General Joffre was
made on tho unanimous aihlcc of the war
council, nnd what Is more, his name was
proposed by General I'au, who was the first
choice of tho war council, and for that
matter of the entire French army: but who.
In a Bplrlt of noble sacrifice, renounced the
honor nnd yielded the place to General
Joffre.
The greatest, military gift the French
nntlon could offer to one of Its sons was In
the possession of Joffre; but not by nny
exterior sign did he show that ho had grown
to be nny dlltorent from the Joffre of otlter
days. ,
"By his simplicity, by his modesty, ho
recalls to mind the great chieftains of Home,
nt n" tlmo when the republic was at tho
apogee of virile splendor," was n recent
estimate of Gcncrnl Joffre, nnd the esti
mate Is more man true.
A task of stupefying proportions was
nsslgned to the General. He was to pre
paro for war, he was to mold an nrmy,
ho was to find ways nnd ineann for a
successful fight against the Prussian mill
tnry machine, he was to be responsible for
defeat, ho nlonc wns to bear tho brunt of
failure.
Unflinchingly he nccepted the duty, and
sternly Bet himself to the task o.' fulfilling
his mission.
What Joffre did, what he accomplished,
was shown In the first days of the mobiliza
tion; but his greatest achievement was his
clear view Into the future, his nblllty to
discern tho character the coming war wns
to assume.
One year after becoming the First War
Lord of France, were such n term known

In his country, General Joffre pronounced,
In an Interview, these historic words:
"It will not be tho commanding generals
who will gain the battles of the future.
It will be the colonels nnd even tho simple
captains. The fighting front will extend
to 400 or 00 miles, nnd, under such
conditions, th cwlll of ono man cannot be
made felt everywhere, for there Is but llttlo
opportunity for new combinations nnd ruses.
The role of tho comtfmmllng gencrnl wilt
nearly come to an end the moment he will
have gathered nt a delred point In tho lino
of battle all the forces that nro needed ;
the role -of tho colonels nnd of tho captains
will begin with tho first shots fired. They
It will bo who will ilecldo the result of
the struggle. The troopi that will win
will bo those that will hold out the longct,
thnt will prove superior In endurance. In'
energy, nnd In faith In the flnat vlctoVy."
Prophetic though they round, these
words were more than prophecy, they were
tho pcsltUe statement of positive, facts,
gathered throjgh study nnd work, of In
disputable conclusions arrived nt through
experience supplemented by science.
"Nothing is Improvised when nt war,"
ho declared on another occasion, and this
can be taken as the key of all his activity
during the period ho has been In supremo
commnnd of tho French nrmy.
PIinPABING FOR WAR
General Joffre Is conscious of realities.
Others may dn-ntn of fundamental changes,
but he has ever feared experiments when
the stakes meant national honor. He went
nhend In perfecting the fighting machine of
France; but In organizing tho nrmy ho 1ms
cer endeavored to organize the nation nt
tho same time, for, warrior though he has
been all his life, no one knows better the
value of spiritual ascendency
"The material organization of the army,
perfect thought It may be; Its understand
ing, no matter how highly developed, will
be Insufficient to Instiio us a victory If
this nrmy, strong nnd Intelligent ns It mny
havo become, will lack a soul," he de
clared. He knew then, ns ho knows today, that
It Is the soul of a people that guides the
world's destinies ; and who will gainsay
that ho has not helped to awaken France's
soul?
Only a comparative'- short time before
the war he delivered the other great speech
nf his life when he fought before tho Cham-
bcr of Deputies for the so-called "Three i

Years Law," the bill that was to extend
the tlmo of military scrvlco to three years.
Together with General Pau, he was
chosen by the Government to old the pas
sage of this law, and for days he listened
calm and unperturbed to nbuso nnd calum
nies heaped by tho Radicals upon the men
nt tho head of France's military affairs.
For three long months, day In nnd day out,
he heard his work belittled, he witnessed
the fury nf vituperation trying to drag his
associates Into tho mlro. Ho fnced this
all ns stolidly as he faced tho dangers of
his march on Timbuktu or the difficulties
of the problems ho encountered In his work.
Finally a. day came when General Pau,
unablo to contain his nnger nnd not per
mitted to nnswer tho calumnies, rose from
his seat nnd left tho chamber nmldst the
nngry shouts of tho opponents nf the bill,
who saw In his action n demonstrative pro
test ng.ilnst parliamentarism. General Joffre
remained seated.
Not n word escaped his tightly shut
mouth, not a gesture came to break his
Impassive nttltude, onl ytho llro In the eyes
beneath the heavy eyebrowB betrayed the
emotion he felt.
When ho came to speak ho spoke with
the co6l reasoning of nn Instructor, nnd ho
won the day, for the bill becamo law.
It would really seem as If somn of theso
stoical qualities nf General Joffro have
passed Into the souls nf tho Boldlcrs ho
commands, for tho "furia Francesc," ns
tho Italians styled tho bravado of tho
French troops of former dnys, has de
veloped Into n heroism that lacks the pic
turesque, but does not recognize obstacles
nor pet mil anything to obscure the path to
tho goal.
"The primordial virtue of a general com
manding nn nrmy Is his character," was
Napoleon's dictum.
General Joffro Is a man of character, and
this force of his has beet; felt throughout
tho ranks of tho French nrmy until every
f-oldler In tho trenches, every trooper In
tho Held, owns ns part nnd parcel of his
moral equipment some of this precious gift.
Ho Is the Idol of the nrmy, nnd ho has
become such In splto of his being one
of the strictest disciplinarians ever known.
"It Is not because he spoils us that we
call him 'our Joffre,' " said a soldier who
has fought with him from tho first moment
of the war. "It is because hu belongs to
us. becaiiFO he Is alwavs liar us. because
he is what we .want him to be, because after
