For a brief Instant It seemed that the
(eeremony for mo irencn ravu m ."

yoan of Arc statue would dissolve useu in
tears. ,
Tho commissioners had Just arrived.
Marshal Joffro and E. T. Stotesbury iiad
dismounted from their automobile. Dr.
Ernest La rlace and rierre F. Glroud, rep
resenting tho Philadelphia Alllanco Fran
calse, had ndvnnccd, tho former to present
to "Papa" Jofrre the Dig wreath of lilies
tied with the tricolors. Joffro received It
and walked up the s eps toward the monu
ment to tho idol of his people, the Maid
of Orleans.
Then It began to be whispered around
the crowd that something was wrong with
Joffre.
" "Look at him; he's crying."
v It was true. The scene was too much
K for great, tender-hearted Joffrc. A French
class of boys from tlio Northeast High
$ School stood back of tho statue and sang
the "Marseillaise."
' ' The rugged features of tho big general
-worked hard. He tried to master his emo
tions but failed. Great tears ran down his
face big unmistakable tears that rolled
oft his cheeks and could not be hidden.
Hb wiped them away with the back of
his hand nnd addressed the statue In
, French. Those who understood the lan
guage strained their cars to hear, but the
tension of tho moment was broken by an
incident perilously near the ludicrous.
LITTLE GIRL'S TRIBUTE
A little girl, standing by. the curb, came
fortified with a bouquet. This she aimed
nt th,e statue. Intending It to fall at the feet
of "Papa Jorrre. Instead it went "smack"
Jnto the eye of tho former Premier Rene
Vlvlanl. He .tried to bear the blow with
equilibrium, but the shock was loo great.
U. OF P. CONFERS DEGREE OF LL. D.
ON JOFFRE, WAR
Before the bronze statue of Benjamin
Franklin, nt the entranco to Franklin Field.
Joseph Caesar Joffre was made a doctor
of laws this morning.
Through It all, from the time he slowly
walked up the step's leading to tho plat
form around tho statue of the man who,
jlko himself, was 6f the plain folk, and sa
luted the bronze face with childlike rever
ence until he received, seven minutes later,
the purple-trlrrimed gown from Provost Ed
gar Fahs Smith, the man who makes you
cry and want to fight, seemed Just ns much
t home as though he vere back among hla
poilus.
WANTED, A HAT!
A touch of the ludicrous preceded tho
award of degrees to the Marshal and to
'Vice Premier Vlvlanl, It all came about
when M. Vlvlanl, who hn'd" begun tho
triumphal procession wearing a black slouch
hat, suddenly realized a mental picture of
himself on dress' parade on Franklin Field
Wearing the scholarly gown nnd a slouch
hat. He whispered to Mayor Smith, who
rushed tb a telephone. Shortly thereafter
appeared a breathless hat salesman with
even high silk hut of various islzes, A
tense situation developed as one by one the
hats wero tried on nnd rejected. Finally
there was a fit and smiles.
xIt was a mixed crowd, was this that as
sembled outside the squat gymnasium of
the University of Pennsylvania to watch
, "Papa" Joffre and Rene Vlvlanl receive
the degrees ot doctor of laws from the
't University of Pennsylvania. There was
Provost Smith himself, and 'the trustees
c nat tho university with orange and scarlet
and red and other colors on their gowns,
denoting for the main part some achieve
ment in business life; there was the faculty
or the university In gowns trimmed witn

"Papa" Joffro smiled nnd saluted the
people as He stepped back Into tho waiting
machine, unabashed at tho emotional ex
hibition he had permitted them to witness.
Tho people surged forward with hun
dreds of floral tributes to lay at tho feet
of Joan, tho beautiful btatuo which Is a
replica of that original one of gold that
stands In the Rue des Pyramided In Paris,
which Is a sacred shrine to every French

Out on the GIrard avenuo brldgo hundreds
of boys from the West Philadelphia High
School, each of them armed with a red
rose awaited the coming of tho envoys. It
Is doubtful it their young throats have ever
been shaken with such enthusiastic stirring
shouts as those they let forth when the
party was sighted.
As tho Joffre car crossed tho brldgo tho
roses wero thrown with unerring accuracy.
To the right and to tho left "Papa" saluted
them, his kindly blue-eye molet onco moro
at the Inspiring sight. When tho entounte
arrived at tho end of the brldgo tho envoys
were literally burled In red roses.
'They'll have to be shoveled out of tho
car," somo ono said.
The whole scene at tho statue took ex
actly six minutes, but history Is mado that

WAITING FOR JOFFRE
There was no room left to Bqueezo In
anywhere when tho fut-fut of the cop
motorcycle squad, tho vanguard of, tho
envoy's party, came up Thirty-third street
at 11:21. From every place that Joffre
and Rene Vlvlanl could possibly bo seen,
there were people, somo garbed with evi
dent expense, tho majority plain, ordi
nary, everyday people. They gathered on
the lawn of the University Museum to tho
south, and on the banks of the lawn on the
opposite side of Thirty-third street; thoy
hung from tho windows of the University
buildings anything to see Joffre.
They saw- him. Hardly had the motor
cycles quieted down when thero camo a
roar a square away. Hero ho was, al
ways stiffly saluting, until It seemed ns
though ho would tire, Thero was silence
for a minute ns he clambered down from
the automobile with M. Vlvlanl nnd wbb
escorted up the steps by Dean John
Frazler, of the Towno Sclentlflo School
There he and St. Vivian! were introduced
to Provost Smith, and, while Jofiro saluted
the statue of Franklin, Provost Smith be
gan his Bhort talk.
During this time Captain de Tessan,
military attache of the French commission,
poured a voluble translation of Provost
Smith's speech Into the ears of M. Vlvlanl,
who nodded appreciatively from time to
time and looked steadfastly at the provost.
So did Marshal Joffre, who never changed
his same attitude until Provost Smith con
tinued: "Upon you, Josenh Caesar Joffre, pro
found student of military science, who,
amidst the hush of a wat,chlng worjd, be
came victor of the Marne, savior, of France,
our sister republlo and Idol of enthusiastic,
admiring millions of your fellowmen, I con
fer the degree of doctor of laws."
Up went the rlgld,arms of Joseph Caesar
IJoffre and while from the hands of Thomas
Robins, secretary of the university, came
the parchments signifying the granting of,
the actual degree, ho saluted Provost Smith.
Meanwhile attaches slipped the gown part
way over M. Vlvlanl's shoulder, while oyer
the sturdy right arm of Joffre hung at last
the purple gown that showed General Joffre
was a doctor of laws. -

children, dressed In tho national colors of
France, America and Belgium.
Cheers from 10,000 throats echoed for
Joffre as the automoblleB bearing the guests
arrived at 10:68. The children then sang
"America," and tho "Marseillaise." As

ono word:
"Joffro I"
At 11:25 tho student band of tho Uni

crowded stand swayed with tenfelou as tho
northwost gates closed and four trumpeters
matloncd themselves near tho entranco.
But Jofffo, tho Idol of tho hour, did not
enter for more than ten minutes.
Fdur times the band played tho French

A FLEETING GLIMPSE
Tears streamed down their faces Sol-

acknowledgment of the tribute
As though Providence smiled upon the
honored visitors and their fervent wor
shipers, the sun broke through tho heavens
Just as they passed Into tho gates and
slowly circled tho track.
Roar after roar of applause lang out
from the grand stands Every band on tho
field struck up the "Marseillaise"
Two minutes nnd a half later Joffro
passed through tho same gato he had
entered, and a moment later the fifteen cars
carrying the French envoys and distin
guished citizens of Philadelphia had gone.
For a moment tho masses stood as
though stunned, as though they could not
realize tho savior of Franco had passed
before them, his hand trembling with emo
tion, held In salute.
Provost Smith said. "Welcome, thrice
welcome, to tho University of Pennsylvania,
founded by tho patriot and sage, Benjamin
Franklin. Years ago when this country
was struggling for Independonco and free
dom. It was Franklin wha ofilolally visited
Frnnee, seeking aid In men and women."
Ho pointed out how France had aided
whenever aid was to be given for true
democracy and harked back to the fact
of honors accorded previous representatives
of Franco by the University.
And then r.imo tho actual granting of
the degree. Said the Provost: "Upon you,
Reno Vlvlanl, singularly brilliant scholar
of high degree, distinguished diplomat, emi
nent. Jurist, trusted emissary of your Gov
ernment In this momentous period of the
world's history, I confer on you the de
gree of doctor of Jaws."
nmong musicians ns the official band of the
city, had made careful preparation for tho
tribute to tho papers responsible for the
demonstration.
The arrangement of music Included a
combination of tho national anthems of
America, and Franco, nnd In honor of the
visitors the concert opened with the notes
of the "Marseillaise." This was followed by
the "Star Spangled Banner," tho combination
being the work of Harry Harris, a member
of the musical organization. The closing
selection was the well-known "Flag March."
The concert formed a fitting close for the
patrlotlo gathering in Independence Square.

for the gift -was collected through the North
American.
The gray-haired hero kissed Miss Lea
on both cheeks nftcr the presentation had
been made, while the hills echoed with
thousands of cheers for Joffre and France.
Flags then were waved gracefully while
the children sang the "Marselllalso."
Miss Lea had three little girls as aides.
One was the Mayor's daughter. The others
wero six-year-old Edith Carney, n little
Belgian girl, dressed In her national colors,
and Charlotte Mulsev. the seven-year-old
granddaughter of Professor Glroud, of the
University of Pennsylvania.
Musical selections also were given by the
Police Band under the direction of Joseph
Klefer, and by the Orpheus Club, directed
by J. W. Shannon. The "Star Spangled
Banner.n" sung by all the children, ended
the celebration a few minutes after 11
o'clock.
ket street crowd to the east of the City
Hall was packed tight along the sidewalks.
Patiently; it waited for the farewell glimpse
of the distinguished visitors.
"Here they cornel" would be a cry, from
the seething1 mass of humanity. Again and
again It proved a false alarm. But at last
Joffre's speedy taxlcab whizzed over the
wood blocks. Vlvlanl and all 'the rest of,

'PAPA' JOFFRE LIKE
GOOD OLD SANTA
Philadelphia Sees Hero of
France as Kindly,
Jolly Man
Hy M'LISS
Wo think of him ns the great general,
tho man, half-god, to whoso word nil of
France h.is listened nnd nit of America Is
now listening, tho f-oldlcr beforo whose
rtrategy tho Prussian hordes fell back,
leaving Paris safe.
Ho comes to see us nnd wo forget nil
about tho great general.
"Papa" Joftre looks like Santa Claus.
In stature, In fenturo nnd In coloring,
tho hero of tho Immortal victory of tho
Marne has all tho aspects of a benign St.
Noel, If one except tho Jollity, nnd It Is rot
difficult to imagine that In times of peaco
tho Jollity too, of tho good old Christmas
saint Is not lacking.
Much taller than his pictures Indicate, the
.Marshal of Fr.vco carries his weight In
such soldierly manner ns to forbid nn Im
pression of fat. Hla tight black mllltnry
coat, decorated with gold chevrons, cme3
to tho hips and makes tho brilliant red of
his trousers, which also enhance tho Santa
Clans Impression, contrast vividly. High
russet military boots come wny tip the
Bhapcly legs to meet tho red, nnd over tho
wholo costume is thrown u French blue
inllltnry cloak with a rippling cape that
falls gracefully down to tho Marshal's
elbow Tupped by a red hoy cap, heavily
braided with gold, the Marshal's rig Is ono
to mRko a mere Miakl-clad American gen
eral tako on greenish colors from envy.
But it Is tho face that beams from under
tho black peak ot the cip which, despite tho
distraction of tho uniform, finally holds yon.
Bugged In outline. Its benignity somewhat
offset by nn aggressiveness of eyebrow and
Jaw, tho Marshal has tho big-featured coun
tenance that characterizes tho faces ot all
leaders of men.
Under tho bushy whlto brows, blue oyes
somewhat heavy-lidded tho only Indication
nf fatlguo shown by Joffre penetrant nnd
keen, havo a way of looking which must
mike cowards flinch nnd bravo men thrill.
The upper lip of his vwdo mouth, half hidden
under a bristly whlto mustache, clamps
down flrmly over tho lower.
It Is cmloua that a faco could denoto
nt ono and the same tlmo all tho charac
teristics thnt havo mado his grateful coun
try endow him with the greatest honor to
be accorded n French Foldler, that of Mar
shal, nnd also thoso tender, human aspects
which mnko every poilu think of him ns
"Papa "
When "Papa" Jofiro salutes, ns ho Is
doing alt over Philadelphia today. It Is with
tho small.stub-llngered hand of tho prac
tical mannd yet tho strategy and tnctlcs
by which he outgeneraled tho Germans
make him of necessity something of tho
dreamer.
Ills feet, ton, cneaed In his wiuare-toefl
loots, aro llttl". llttlo enough 111 fact, to
bo remarkable In ro tall a man.
Altogether It Is an Incongruous Joffre we
aro entertaining today, tho most martial
of Frenchmen In times of war, the most
placidly philosophical one in times of peace.,
whose most exciting hobby Is fishing for
trout in his native village In tho nouth of
France.

The most elaborate police arrangements, .
possibly, ever made In the history of thls
clty wero placed In operation the moment
Marshal Joffre, M. Vlvlanl and other mem
bers of tho French Commission set foot In
Philadelphia. Arrangements for guarding
tho distinguished visitors were completed
nfter nn almost nll-nlght conference of po- y,
llco otllclals.

2000 policemen, Including men on foot, .
motorcycle men, mounted men, captains,
lieutenants, rergcants, detectives and spe
cial otllcers. '
Seated In a police automobile with Di
rector of Public Safety Wilson and Asslst
nnt Director Davis, Superintendent Robin
eon circled the central part of tho city.
Tvery pollco station In the city was rep
resented In tho guarding of the French
visitors. From every one of the forty-one
pollco districts forty uniformed men were
sent to tho central part of the clt7.

heart thero vvera 1G10 uniformed police
men, forty-one pollco lieutenants, eighty
two sergeants, 2D0 reserve policemen, six
reservo sergeants, twenty-five motorcyole
men, twenty-flvo mounted policemen, nnd
more than 150 detectives scattered along
Chestnut street, Market street, Broad street
and others.
Captain Mills, of the Reserves, nnd about
100 men were nt Broad Street Station when
Marshal Joffre arrived thero. The crowd
around Broad Street Station nt tho time
was estimated hy the police at close to
12,000
"The less you ladles and gentlemen will
crowd against each other the chances of
seeing Marshal Joffro will be better,"
shouted Captain Mills.
"Bravo! Bravo! replied several younj
French women In chorus.
During tho procession down Chestnut
street all trafllo was stopped. This also
was done on Market street between Broad
Street Station and the Market street ferries,
when Marshal Joffro reached Broad Street
Station.
Beforo tho train bearing the distinguished
party arrived the Pennsylvania Railroad
harta squad of men making a careful In
spection of tho tracks In the Bhed.
