MARSHAL JOFFRE IS MADE ONE OF FORTY IMMORTALS

Gratitude for American Aid Expressed by French General at Inauguration. PARIS, Dec. 20. - Marshal Joffre forimally is numbered among France's Forty Immortals. The visitor of the Marne was made a member ot the French Academy this afternoon. Promptly upon the stroke of one Marshal Joffre arrived at the Institute, crossing the Seine over the Pont des Arts, accompanied by his sponsor, Gabriel Hanotaux, and his aide de camp, Commandant Jouart With the knowledge that President Wilson was to attend the function, acting as an added attraction, great crowds had gathered all along the route, followed by the marshal. i Crowds whose cheers were divided be tween the great soldier, the chief flg'Ure of the event, the American presl dent, and President Poincare, of Fraiipn. The French nreaident attendtniAlv am n nrlvata r4tl7An and fellow-academician. .' The marshal's well-set frame bulked beside that of most of his brother members of the academy. He delivered his Inaugural speech In a deep, resonant voice which completely filled the chamber where the ceremony took place. "It Is not without deep emotion that X look back upon the time which I spent last year in the United States. .'This people, by the intensity of its affection for France, caused one to sense the strength which It somehow felt but which it did not yet know how to employ. It seemed that by its grrat love this people felt Itself already doing something noble and comforting to the allied armies. "It made no mistake, for that love enabled France, overwhelmed by the defection of the Russian armies and by the great and weakening trials of the soring of 1917, to keep Intact its confidence and Its courage. "History does not record a more marvelous achievement than that of millions of men voluntarily breaking away from their peaceful pursuits to cross the seas, where lurked death; to come thousands of miles from their country and give up their lives for a noble cause, a great ideal. And as if the sacrifice was not completed by sending the husbands and sons we have seen the wives, the fathers and the mothers escorting across the seas that phalanx of warriors to alleviate our sufferings and dress our wounds. "We have seen them unsparingly giving their gold and the treasures of their hearts, kneeling on the graves of our sons and adopting our orphans." Jean Richepln replied to the oration of Marshal Joffre. Every mention of Tresldent Wilson and the United States was cheered. When M. Richepln referred to Marshal Joffre as the victor of the Marne the marshal arose and said: "It is nor I: It is the roilu." All eyes turned to a blind French soldier who was standing at salute in tbf- frort row of the balcony.

Fanners Advised to

Build Tenant Houses LAFAYETTE, Ind, Dec 20. "Calls for farm labor, made In cities and towns during the last year, were in many instances answered by married men. Their services were often, rejected because the farmer was not prepared to care for a family," says a bulletin on "Tenant Houses for Farm Labor," just issued by the Purdue university extension department here. "A large percentage of these men were born and reared on a farm and would make first-class tenants. They succumbed to the lure of the city and seemingly large salaries, but found that life there is not always sunshine and roses. The lack of tenant houses forma a stumbling block in returning these men to where they may better serve themselves, their employers and all mankind. "The records show also that many of the farmer boy soldiers have married Just before enlisting or sailing for Europe. The farmers of this country will be called on to provide employment for a large per cent of these men in uniform on their return, since they will not be In a position to start farming for themselves." These statements show the need for tenant houses on Indiana farms, If farmers are to effectively solve the! labor problem, which they face In peace time as well as during the war, Purdue experts say. Many seek to j meet the help problem by employing; married men and get good help and keep it if the farmers throughout the. state are Dunaing oeuer nouses ior them. ' D alt on, Ind.
