MARSH
AL JOSEPH JACQUE CESAIRE JOFFRE
Creasy, the English historian, years ago wrote
his “Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World.” The six- j
teenth—the first battle of the Marne—was won by.
Marshal Joseph Jacque Cesaire Joffre, commander of j
the French armies in the West during the great war, |
who has just answered the Last Summons.
In 1917, a few weeks prior to the entry of the Unit->
ed States into the World War, Marshal Joffre, as one j
of the heads of the French War mission, came to this |
country to discuss with President Wilson America’s j
participation in the war. Again, in 1922, he arrived;
in America for a visit which carried him over many
States. He received cordial welcomes everywhere and |
endeared himself to Americans.
Bora at Rivesaltes on January 4, 1852, close to j
the Pyrenees, the son of a cooper, Joffre was educated
at the College of Perpignan and the Ecole Polytechnic.
He entered the French army as a second lieutenant in
1870. He was a brilliant mathematician and military;
engineer and correctly predicted in 1912 “the next war
will be a long one, waged along immense fronts and in
it patience will be worth more than audacity and cal
culation will count more than dash.”
After the battle of the Marne, a friend remarked:
“General, you have won the greatest battle of the i
ages.” JciTre replied: “What I hope I have won is an
early rest in my little home in the Pyrenees.”
He has gone Home.
BUYING NOW
you will notice a full-page advertisement in The Gate
* way today calling attention to the fact that now is
the lime to buy. It is backed by the live advertisers of
Seward. It is also directly in line with a campaign that
is in full swing over the United States. National maga-1
zincs are urging people to come out of false lethargy j
and resume business as usual.
The Gateway is grateful to the many advertisers |
found in its columns; thru their cooperation we are
able to publish a daily paper which consistently and!
sincerely has endeavored to promote the welfare of the
Territory and Seward. Believing we have accomplish
ed many things, we respectfully ask Gateway readers
to patronize to the fullest extent, Gateway advertisers.

STOP SLIPPING
It sounds like a good idea that the city council at
its meeting tonight should do something to counteract
the efforts of Old Man Winter to put us all on the skids.
Not in a business way but in a way that will keep us
from breaking our necks.
The streets are slippery but automobiles can get by
with chains. The unfortunate pedestrian, however, can
not be so equipped. The city should pass a special ap
propriation to buy rock salt, ashes, sawdust, or ‘what
■lave you?’ and scatter it on the sidewalks until this
dangerous era passes. Already there have been bones
broken.
MOVING OLD STUFF
i here, must be some surplus stocks in Seward
stores which have been on shelves for a long period
and which have been inventoried time and again. Per
haps not much, but some. Why not get rid of it! Turn
it into cash or fresh stock. Advertise a “Cleanup Sale,”
or something. You can do it through the columns of
this paper; believe or not!
Life is much easier to live, avers Sourdough Bill,
-seer of the North, if one keeps his mouth shut.
Optim&m is largely founded on the faith that
other people will do the work.
BUT OF II BUT
LONDON, Jan. 5. (/P)—An imiiv- j
ual spectacle is presented here as |
the government tries without sue- ;
cess to obtain remits for the regu.j
lar army at a time when Great, j
Britain’s army of unemployed has f
just gained 1 2 0,000 additional j
members owing to the stoppage of j
work in the South Wales coni field •
And the unemployed ranks mav j
be augumented as the threatened !
stoppage of work in the cotton in- I
dustrv looms.
Fi’O.y 10,000 infantrymen are re- |
onwed to bring the military estab-1
Iwlwment no to its full quota of j
190.000 men. I
