MARSHAL JOFFRE-S APPRECIATION
P.ARIS, January 30. Marshal Joffre, in a tribute to Lord Haig, said that he had learned of his death with painful emotion. He knew him personally when he commanded an army corps, but he appreciated this great soldier’s sterling military virtues above all when they fought side by side in 1916 on the Somme. “ T maintain for him full and affectionate admiration, and deplore the Joss which has befallen the Empire, whose glorious army loses one of its most illustrious chiefs.”—A. and iVZ. and ‘ Sun ’ Cable.
