JOFFRE OF
E
Amputate Leg of Aged Mar
' shal in Attempt to Halt
Ravages of Gangrene
Scant Hope for Recovery
Secrecy Maintained.

FAM
NFARS END
( TARIS, Dec. 27. () With one
leg amputated because of gan
grene developing in the advanced
stages of arteritis Marshal Joffre,
hero of the Marne, lay tonight
between life and death and his
doctors nppeared to hold little
hopo for hia recovery.
T There was an air of mystery
about the old hero's illness, for his
physicians declined to say where
the patient was. They diHclosed,
however, that the amputation was
performed last Saturday and that
j' Mine Joffre had persistently re-
fused to permit announcement of
her husband's condition.
The operation took place last
Saturday at the private hospital
of St. Jean De Lieu, where the
marshal was taken whn his con
dition became alarming.
Gangrene Monaco
Amputation was imperative said
Dr. Boidin, the distinguished
physician who has attended Mar
shal Joffre since the beginning of
his illness several months ago. The
patient's arteries were inflamed
to such a degree, the doctor said,
that gangrene, which often de
velops in the advanced stages of
this disease, threatened the mar
shal's life.
It was the right leg which was
amputated and because of the
patient's advanced age he is
nearly 79 and his generally
weakened condition, there nppear
ed to be scant hope that he could
pull through.
In a bulletin issued this evening
the marshal's doctors said his con
dition remnined unchanged with
the pulwe rate 76 and the tempera
te ture 102.2 degrees. "
Marshal Joffre, whose full name
Is Joseph Cesaire Joffre, Will be
79 years old January 12 next. In
the course of his extended military
rareer he , has successfully led
campaigns in Asia, Africa and
Europe. : .
He was born in 1852 at River
saltes, at the edge of the eastern
Pyrenees, of Spanish lineage and
was one of eleven children. The
Franco-German war interrupted
his studies .as a youth and he took
part In the defense of Paris in
1870.
In Formosa
After the loss of his first wife
he applied for a transfer to Indochina-
and aided in occupation of
Formosa in 1885, remaining three
years at Hanoi as chief of engi
neers. In 1892 he wan sent to
Senegal and In 1893 led a column
on Timbuctoo entering the town
4 on February 12, 1894, after march
ing nearly 600 miles.
Mle became a general of brigado
In 1900 and a general of division
in 1905, nnd was called to the
superior war council in 1910. In
19U he became chief of staff and
vice president of the council. He
took up the post of commander-in-chief
of the French army on
August fi, 1914. Two days after
Germany declared war on France,
and thereafter for two years the
history of his life was the history
of the war in the west Itself.
His greatest victory, perhaps,
was on September 6, when he
threw, the Germans back on the
Afsne in the memorable battle of
the Marne.

Farm Board Tells McNary
Co-Ops Must Meet Pri
vate Merchants On Equal
Ground Action Not Rec
ommended, But Practical.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27. (JP)
Higher tariff on wheat ruther
than a temporary embargo as
suggested by Chairman Legge of
the farm board, was advocated to
day by Senator Steiwer, If world
prices drop to a point permitting
importations over the 2 cent tariff
wall.
The Oregon republican said It
was "essential that adequate steps
be taken at once to exclude im
ports of wheat because the farm
board has pegged the price and If
the foreign market goes down to a
point where they can import over
the duty, we would be buying Cana
dian wheat at the pegged price.";
WASHINGTON, Deo. 27. P)
The farm board replied today to
congressional criticism of Its trad
ing In cotton and grain futures by
explaining It was necessary be
cuuse of the system which has
been established by private opera
tors. Addressing Chairman McNaryi
of the senate agriculture commit
tee the board wrote:
"The cooperative marketing . as
sociations In wheat and cotton 'are
agencies set up by farmers to
market their products in competi
tion for private merchants. In
order to compete for business on
even terms, - these - cooperatives
must be In a position 'to give the
same services and enjoy the same
advantages as a private merchant.
Found Necessary - ' t
"To do this they have found It
necessary to make, use of existing
marketing facilities, of -which un
der existing conditions,, .futures .
trading operations are an integral
part. ......
"Resorting to hedging ', opera
tions, Insofar as they find it pos
sible and desirable to do bo, great
ly reduces their problem of financ
ing their operations. . In the past
six) months, when wheat pirices
have been almost constantly de
clining, the, Farmers National
drain corporation would have euf-i
fored disastrously heavy losses if
it had not hedged Its wheat sup
plies." .!
Not a Recommendation
The board said it did not want
this explanation to be taken as a'
recommendation In support of the
present system of future trading,
adding:
"But we have to recognize that,
It Is the system that has been built
up ovor a period of 70 years on
which practically all wheat or cot
tun is handled, both for domestic
use and for. export; and it is our
conclusion that under existing
conditions, cooperative marketing
associations and stabilization cor-'
poratlons must In . appropriate,
practical ways, deal in futures as
well as In spot wheat or cotton."
CHICAGO, Deo. 27. (IP) Corn
