GREAT WAR HERO ANSWERS CALL (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE, jof the marshal’s bed. but she could l 'not tell whether he was dead or. i alive. For six hours, his doctors' could detect life only through the rse of a stethoscope. The hero of the Maine and the savior of Paris appeared to be dead long before life actually passad from his body. Borrher Ferdinand, a monk who nursed Joffre, said that “death came like the sand in an hour glass | —none saw the actual passing of i life. The marshal r -ce'ved absolution from Monsignor Bellesoeur I a few minutes before he died. Premier Theodore Steeg announced that France desired to giv the marshal a funeral expressing the love of a nation for one of its greatest heroes. Final plans will be made after Joffre's last testament is open'd later today. The aged soldier hovered between life and death in a comatose state for 45 hours. He had been conscious only at rar intervals of a few minutes each since 8 p. m. Friday. The final crisis began at 6 a. m, when his pulse was scarce-' ly perceptible. Joffre’s left leg had been amputated above the knee just 15 days before his death. He did not allow news of his operation to be i made public for eight days because' !he d'd not wish to “cause a fuss”} during the holidays. He selected ' the monks' hospital because he be-, Sieved they could be trusted to remain silent. The marshal’s last words, so far las could be asc rtainerl, were, “I lam going. This fight is all lost." He knew that h was dying, bui 1 , continued the struggle that had thrilled all France and brought him back to consciousness after ha had been given up for lost. Madame Joffre remain d weeping in the room where her husband ! died. Fatigued by a 15-day vigil, she was given a soporific later and went to sleep. During the marshal's (. Hint s she was abs' nt from the hos- , pital only on two occasions, for , two or three hours. Occasionaly she was seen pass- - ing through the hospital corridors -by the thousands of sympathet'c - and patient Frenchmen who waited outside. Madame Joffre said repeatedly, “He is fighting and we must fight with him.” Her cour- ■ age, to the end, app ared to be as ’ great as that of her husband. ' United States Ambassador Wai- ’ ter E. Edge, who returned to Paris ’ f-om the United States yesterday. f was one of the first callers at the ( hospital after Joffre's death. His e condolences to Madame Joffre cont stituted his first official act since his return. Other visitors included Marshal Marshal Henri Petain, Gen. Gour- , aud, Minister of War Louis Bar;lhmi, and President Gaston Doum’ergue. The president embraced a Madame Joffre affectionately, i! Premier Steeg expressed the t nat on's condolences to the widow e and the gratitude of France for his i- years of service. : “The marshal’s face doe 8 not fjshow his suffering,” Cardinal Ver-

Idicr told the United Press, “but i only the nobility of ten million prayers offered for him throughout France this morning." Madame Joffre placed a crucifix in the marshal’s crossed hands as his body lay on the hospital bed. He was dressed in uniform with a white, gold braided and gold button'd jacket. Doctors thought that embalming might be delayed . due to the great amount of serum i injected in Joffre’s body to keep l him alive. The body wil be placed in Saint ! Lou's chapel, where it will be on I view for several days, beginning | probably Monday. It will rest on i i a soldier's folding camp bed. Flood i ligh's will be p'ayed upon it and four massive gold n candelabra, each holding 20 unlighted candles, swill stand at the corners of the bed. The chapel is a hidden gem of architecture. The lighting arrangement is particularly beautiful. Of-' tie rs from Joffre's staff will maintain a vigil while the public visits the chapel. Every Thursday. Joffre attended a session of the French Academy, where he assisted in the compil-; ation of a dictionary. He was, especially inter’st-d in defining military terms. Only recently the marshal aban-l doned the pre-war French uniform,; including the famous red trousers, j He disliked the new bltu pants issued to the army after he had retired from the battle fie d. He insisted on wearing led trousers during official ceremonies, but he dressed in civilian clothes most of ' the time. It was considered certain that : Joffre’s body would find its last resting place beside Napoleon, Foch and other marshals of France in the Invalides, only a ston ’si throw from the hospital where Joffre died. o i MONROE NEWS Mr. and Mrs. J.

ROAD REPORTS GIVEN IN OHIO Promoter of Franklin Highway Asks Indiana to Change No. to 17 Findley Ohio. Jan. 3-(Special)-John 11. Williamson, chairman of the promotion committee of the Benjamin Franklin highway asaoclailon. has returned from a trip l 0 Indiana whete he went on be half of a movement to secure a change in numbers on a section of the route in the Hoosier state. The state was asked to change NO 16 to No- 17. the number in Ohio and in Pennsylvania to New Castle. t he matter was taken under conakl eration by the highway commission. The fact that Indiana numbers torth and south roads with odd numbers and east and west roads with even numbers may tomplicale .he situation.

"As I have said before 1 am very sorry that all of these States have accomplished more than has Ohio, he birthplace of the Benjamin Franklin Highway, and of course ince in a while when we are out of' Ohio, we hear about this. Yet we. are very proud of what was accomdished in 1930 when more than two 1 million dollars of improvement was ■ made on this highway.
