I I I I 'flHUf NOT since the outbreak of the Eu ropean wur. Into the vortex of which Geruiuu rutulessuess baa drawn tbe United States, has there been a conference between leaders of different uutiouH so slgnlflcunt as tbut now lu progress in Washington.

Secretary Lan sing und the military chiefs of Uncle Sum all the Information they have ac cumulated through nearly three years of tbe bitterest struggle tbe world has ever known. Marshal Joffre, the grand old man. of France, has told our offi cials the exact situation oh the battle lines of France and Belgium and has made known the chances that our al lies have of expelling the Teutonic troops and of attaining a victorious peace, attaining tbe downfall of au tocracy and the establishment of de mocracy throughout all of Europe. To Lend Our Money. j Not only have the mllitury phases of the tight against theHohenzollerns been 1 discussed, and revealed, but tbe finan cial condition of our allies has been expounded to Secretary Mc-Adoo and other officials.

The importance of these conferences is fully demonstrat ed by tbe caliber of the men our allies have sent to our shores, even taking a risk similar to that which resulted in the death of one of England's greatest men Karl Kitchener. "Our" Joffre. Marshal Joffre it the only man in France since the close of the Franco Prussian war In 1870 who has been au thorized to bear the Illustrious title of marshal of France, and this distinction was conferred on him by unanimous actios of tbe French chamber in grate ful recognition of his splendid services as a military leader in what probably was tbe most critical moment In French history. His officers and sol diers, however, scarcely know him by tbe distinguished title; to them he has bee "Our Joffre" or "Grandpa" since he led them to victory-on the Marne and finally turned the tide of tbe Ger man invasion. let these familiar nicknames never conveyed to the French mind any sense of weakness. Beloved as he was by bis soldiers, Joffre Is, in fact, a strict disciplinarian. His mala concern, aft er making all of his dispositions to se cure victory, has been the protection of the lives of .bis men. This was il lustrated in a small but important man ner early in the war when he ruthless ly disregarded the traditional French love for the famous red trousers and had them discarded for the present blue uniform. Joffre was commander In chief of the French army at the beginning of the war, and he remained in that position until December Inst, when he gave place to General Nlvelle to become mar shal and military adviser of the gov ernment In responding again to the call of ac tive duty his services are placed at the disposal of tbe American people, whom lie comes to advise In the best way of Something About the Leading Men Who Have Been Sent to Our Shores Marshal Joffre, Who Turned the Tide at the Marne, Is Mere. organizing, disciplining, equipping and, perhaps, transporting to Europe tbe greatest army which this country has ever called Into being. The marshal was born in 1802 at nivesaltes. In the Pyrenees, of parents In the middle station of life. At seven teen ho became a student In tbe great French military school, the Ecole Poly technique. The' Franco-Prussian war In 1870 found him a sublieutenant in the artillery defending a Paris fort After tbe war he devoted some time to engineering works, and these carried him Into ludo-Chuia, - Formosa and Africa. In the Timbuktu campaign he led a charge which-gained him a lieu tenant colonelcy and the Legion of Hon or distinction. ' His thorough mastery of military science brought him rapid promotion, and. in H11 he was rice president of the superior war council, chief of tbe general staff and practi cally head of the uruiy. In that ca pacity he pushed the 1013 law for three years' military service, which is now conceded to have been tbe salva tion of France.

In that dual capacity j he accompanied President Polncare on ( a special mission to uussia, ana oniy four days after their return to Paris war war declared oh France by Ger many, , It was primarily because Vivi ani was a member of President Poln care's cabinet when the war broke out that' he has been retained, notwith standing tbe mutations of French poll tics, . Involving extensive changes in the cabinet. The French people felt that to permit blm to retire might be construed as evidence, of their disap proval of France's entry into the war.
