'PAPA' JOFFRE BREAKS RULE; 1 TALKS ON WAR Lists Foch’s Book Among Two Favorites; Thinks of Battle Often. BY ROBERT BROWN United Frew Staff Correspondent PARIS, Oct. 10.—The soothing of his favorite barber caused Marshal (Papa) Joffre to break his rule of ten years standing and talk about the World war. Every Tuesday and Friday the aged marshal comes into Paris from his estate at Louveclennes, near Saint-Oermain-en-Paye, a Parisian suburb, to his barber. On this particular day a United Press correspondent was in the shop when the famous war hero arrived. He entered, dressed as usual, simply, and -wearing only one military ribbon, the one signifying his possession of the Military medal. “Good morning every one,” said “Papa” Joffre genially. "How are you tills morning?" asked his barber. Bothered by Rheumatism "If it wasn’t for the rheumatism in my legs I’d be feeling fine,” replied the marshal, smiling one of his rare smiles. "What are the books about the war that one should read?” the correspondent asked the marshal, who had settled down comfortably In the barber’s chair and was being lathered. “I am going to tell you the two books which Interested me most,” replied Joffre, ‘‘The first was Foch’s “Le Memorial,” and the second was Captain Von Hase’s "The Battle of Jutland." “Foch,'’ Interposed the barber, •‘didn’t like Clemenceau.” “He was right,” snapped the old soldier. Dead silence reigned. Then after a moment’s hesitation Joffre said graciously: Germans Good Fighters "Soldiers and politicians are not always made to get along with each other.” Then Joffre was asked if he often thought of the Battle of the Marne. “Yes,” he replied, ‘‘l thinlc about it often. If I had listened to Galileni I would have given the order to attack much too soon. But I wished to wait. I knew when to choose the hour, the remainder was done by my soldiers. French soldiers are admirable. They and the Germans are the best fighters in the world.” Someone asked w’hat about the English and American soldiers. “They are wonderful,” replied Joffre, adding that he did not believe that anew war was threatening.

PEACE MARKS TEXTy STRIKE 4,000 Workers Walk Out in ‘Crucial Test.’ By Scripoa-Howard S'ctcspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—The textile workers strike of Danville, Va., is entering its second week with a record for peace and order, according to Miss Matilda Lindsay, southern field secretary for the National Women’s Trade Union League, Just back from there. Four thousand workers in two mills, both owned by H. R. Fitzgerald, walked out on Sept. 29. Thendemands were for recognition of their union, a united textile workers local, for cessation of alleged discrimination against their members and for abolition of the “stretchout” or speed-up system. Fitzgerald made no effort to reopen the mills and the contest settled down to a tes* of strength. According to Miss Lindsay, employers in the southern cotton mill industry generally recognize the Danville strike as a crucial test and are said to be pooling their resources behind Fitzgerald. This is the first strike since the American Federation of Labor determined last year to unionize some 400,000 southern textile workers. Aiding the workers are the Danville townsmen. These, from the sheriff and police to the churchmen and club women, are sympathetic. Miss Lindsay says.

NONALCOHOLIC DRINKSJAININ6 Sales Volume Has Shown Large Increases. Bv Cnlted Frets WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. A change in the drinking habits of the world is being wrought by American prohibition, figures produced by the department of commerce Indicate. The change is toward increasing popularity of non-intoxicating beverages which in America have supplemented alcoholic drink to a large extent. Commerce department figures show that there Is anew popular demand for such non-alcoholic drink all over the world and that America is supplying the material in many instances. The new beverages are composed largely of fruit Juice and sugar syrup, but in some cases they are based upon malt extract. Some are simply pure mineral water. Exports of such drinks and bases for them have increased by more than 300 per cent in the. last seven years, according to the department. In 1923 the trade amounted to only a little more than $500,000. But in 1929 it amounted to $1,760,000.
