ANNOUNCEMENT IN m
International News Service.
PAItlS, Dec. 8.—The political un- ]
rest, and lack of confidence in the
leaders of the war is growing greater
in Paris and throughout France.
That there will be a complete over
hauling and reorganization of the
French g ncral staff with the proba
ble retirement of Commander In chief
Joffre is declared by keen students
of the sitaution to be not only pos
slble but extremely probable.
It is claimed by some that this
change 13 postitively forecasted by
the vote of conf.d nco in the govern
ment which was passed by the cham
ber of deputies last night and which
referred entirely to the government’s
announced plan to reorganize the
general staff.
The exact words of a portion of the
resolution of confidence are: "This
chamber notes the declaration of the
government concerning the reorgani
zation of the general staff and ap
proves its resolution to concentrate
under a restricted direction the future
conduct of the war."
of
France are lirmly determined to press
the war to a victorious conclusion
and the propos d ch. lip s in the high
command are not signs of disorg mir
ation but rather of a universal de
sire for greater efficiency and initia
tive in the field.
