THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1981 French World War General Succumbs ~~ To Artery Ailment (Continued from page one) through the crowd. Men barea their heads. and women made the sign of the cross. The news spread rapidly through. Paris, where death had been expected for more than a week. -Bells -tolled and official circles made preparations for honors in death due the man who in 1914 turned the invaders back from. the very gates of Paris in the epic battle of the Marne. Three Leaders Left His death removes from the world stage all save three of the’ great mili- tary leaders of the World war, Field Marshal von Hindenburg and Gen- eral Eric Ludendorf of Germany and General John J. Pershing of the United States. Of the French lead- ers of note only Marshal Petain, de- fender of Verdun, still lives, but, un- like Foch or Joffre, he never was in supreme command of the French armies; One by one, Haig, Cadorna, Foch and others have passed from the scene, Premier Steeg was the first to ar- tive =t the hospital after announce- ment of the marshal’s death. He was followed by Colonel Fabry, former Joffre aide, and Jean Chiappe, pre- fect of police. Ambassador Edge, ac- companied by Norman D. Acmour, first-secretary of the embassy, called shortly before the arrival of Presi+ dent Doumergue, General .Gouraud and Marshal Petain. Colonel Desmazes announced soon after death the body would be em- balmed this afternoon preparatory to lying in state at the Chapel of the Ecole Militaire, the French Military academy. He said the last absolution was given the marshal at 8 a. m. by Chaplain Bellesoeur, when it was seen death, was imminent. Marshal Joffre's final illness dated back many weeks, when, compiaining of a pain in his leg, his doctors found ; him @ victim of arteritis. In his case} the disease, which brings an inflam-| mation of the arteries, settled in his legs and eventually a gangrenous con-! dition developed which necessitated! amputation, To Hospital Dec. 19 On Dec. 19, he was taken secretly in his own cabriolet to the. Hospital Saint Jean de Dieu and that night, under the influence of local anaesthe- | sia only, he submitted to amputation | at mid-thigh of his left leg. He would not take ether, informing the physi- cians,. Professor Leriche, Dr. Boulin, and Dr. Fontaine, that he wished to! see what they were doing to-him. His ‘illness did not become known until the following week, when his doctors let it be known thry had no; hope for him and did not expect him to live more than a day or so at the mast. , Despite their pessimism the o!d sol- dier survived, much of the time Inj coma and semi-consicousnes; his heart refusing to give In to.-iHness | which would have taken mos! men many times over. i He gradually weakened after as- tonishing the physicians with his re- sistance. He lived for days after they | had stated that he had only hours or minutes more of life. On New Yeur's; day he lapsed into the finai ‘coma} from which he never recovered, and) at one time that day was so low that & falsé announcement of his death was made only to be retracted an hour later after having been spread | over all the world. 146 teachers with 40. or more pupils He was kept alive during the last; few days by injections of heavy doses of serum which his physicians -pre-. pared. Had he been able to stand an-| other operation his right leg also would. have been amputated but it} was feared the shock would precipi-; tate death. Senator Louis Barthou, minister of war in the new French government and a personal friend of long stand- ing of. the marshal, said “He- passed away gently and without any suffer- ing whatsoever.” Enjoyed Country Life | During the eight years since the; hero of the Marne visited Japan, ; Canada and the United States in 1922, receiving great acclaim in each country, he had done little else than! write his memoirs, attend public functions and enjoy the quiet coun- try life of his beloved France. Several times he was reported to-be | seriously ill, but with characteristic audacity he immediately put an end to the rumors with vigorous cenials. Once, to prove his prime condition, he walked two miles at the age of 72. It was Andre Maginot, minister of war, who in 1923 gave’ full credit to, Marshal Joffre for the Marne victory., Speaking at the ninth anniversary celebration of the battle of the Marne, M. Maginot said: | “We have had enough idle dis- cussion concerning who should be) awarded the merit for such a magic) victory. History already has definitely | crowned Marshal Joffre was the victor of the Marne. Let no one challenge this.” Marshal Joffre’s death leaves only two men who will ever bear the title of marshal of France—Henri-Philippe Petain and Hubert Lyautey. Last year it was announced France woukl. end the title by extinction. ELABORATE NATIONAL | FUNERAL IS PLANNED Paris, Jan, 3.—(?)—Marshal Joffre will be buried in a national funeral as elaborate as that tendered his il- lustrious colleague, Marshal Foch, but his body will not lie in state un- der the Arc de Triomphe, for the Marshal himself had said he did not wish to be the cause of his troops and the people of Paris risking their health, in the Paris winter to do him honor. The cabinet arranged the funeral services. at a special session and it was disclosed that while he was still alive 'the Marshal had expressed a desire.to be buried at Louvetiennes, his country home. Throughout Paris and all of France the flags over public buildings flut- tered at half-staff. The body will lie in state in the chapel of the military school near the Ejiffel'tower on Monday and Tuesday. The funeral services will begin Wed- nesday at 9 a. m. WORLD LEADERS SEND CONDOLENCE LETTERS (By The Asapciated Press) The death of Marshal Joffre elicited tributes and expressions of condo- Jences from dignitaries throughout the world including President Hoover, the ; ceedings, i Propose New Hich | | the fifth grade 192. | caming overcrowded. There are now “king of Spain, the king-of England and: Fi * % General Gouraud, military governor of Paris, who said history will record Marshal Joffre as one of the great Saviors of France, Georges Clemenceau, war time pre- mier and minister of war of France: “Joffre made many mistakes but he had one priceless quality—he never lost his head.” dy Haig, widow of Britain's World war army leader: “His death is a very great loss to France. Field Marshal Sir William Robert- son, of England, said Joffre was a tower of strength, a good comrade, and a loyal ally. Secretary of War Hurley of the United States: “His steadiness. of | character, patriotism and courage can ill be spared by France or the world.” General John J. Pershing, former commander of the American armies in France: “The world loses one of its outstanding military figures and France a devoted patriot.” m Brigadier General Charles G. Dawes, ambassador at London: “Calmness, modesty. determination and devotion to his cause ever char-| acterized. him, He~ personified .and fulfilled the allied hopes.” | Say Piepkorn and | Holmes Infected . By Disease Germs ‘Continued ‘trom pase one) he saw Holmes seize Piepkorn around | the neck and stab him. Ben McClusky testified that he had been called to the Holmes hore with a number of others om the night of the tragedy and that they had stood outside the house and had looked through a window and had seen Holmes seated on a bed wiping the blood from his face. He said that the lights in the house were extin- guished suddenly. and that he and his companions left the premises when Holmes fired three shots. Later, he said, he returned to the house with the others and disarmed Holmes, who had been brandishing a shotgun. After leaving the house, he said, he encountered Holmes and Fraser, the latter's son-in-law, on the street and Holmes shouted an oath at him and attacked him with a knife, wounding him in the shoulder. : Henry ’acobson and Howard Glan- ville testified that they. had been members of the group who had gone to the Holmes house at the first in- timation of trouble avd corroborated testimony offered by McClusky. Holmes appeared calm and col- lected during the morning’s pro- stopping occasionally to take notes when certain statements were made on the stand. . Justice Beer stated Saturday noon that he believed that there was little doubt but that the hearing would be completed by: Saturday night. “School :at Meeting Of Bismarck Board (Continued from page one) At the same time, Saxvik said, con- ditions in the public pchools have reached the point where more room is necessary if adequate training is to be given, | i ¥ Reviewing the history of the city school system for the last nine years, Saxvik said the schools were crowded in 1922-23. At that time there were and one had 58. Construction of the Roosevelt school in 1923 relieved this condi+ tion. Since then, however, an annex has been built to the high school at a. cost of $4,500; an annex to the Will school costing $10,000 and an annex to the Wachter school costing $20,000. “In spite of these conditions we now are facing crowded conditions that Soon will become more serious than any we have experienced so far.” Saxvik said. “There are now 12 teachers in the gradcs with 40 or more pupils, Every room is now oc- cupied with the exception of two at the Wachter, but these two rooms are inaccessible to children from the north side. Junior High Has Problem “The .junior high school presents an ‘interesting problem. We now have nine regular teachers but one of these must work in a very unde- sirable basement room. The present seventh grade numbers 138. The present sixth grade numbers 164 and It can readily be seen that while we have 294 now in the seventh and eighth grades, two years hence we will have 356 or an increase of 64. In qll probability the increase will be considerably greater than that. In addition to this we yearly have to take care of about 15 freshmen who have one or more sub- jects to make up. i "“As it is organized’ at present the junior high school is limited in cur- ricilum entirely to the common school branches. We have a consid- erable number of over-age pupils, 15, 16 and 17 years old who go to school because they are compelled to. These should be given industrial work. This is now-practically- itaposstble. ‘-:- “It should also be noted that the fourth, fifth and sixth grades are be- eight teachers in these grades who have 40 or more pupils, ‘This is 63 per cent of the teachers assigned to these grades.” Grades Are Troubled Saxvik made it clear that, although the movement now is for a new high school building, the heaviest conges- tion is in the grades and it is there that the crowded school situation will continue to be felt most heavily. Construction of a new high ‘school, it was pointed out, will permit re- Second and Broadway STORAGE M. B. GILMAN CO.

If constructed the new high school would be located on a site north of the present high school on ground already owned by the board. Figures presented by Saxvik showed that the board has a building fund of $75,000, set aside from tax levies in recent years, which could be added to the proceeds of a bond issue.

The debt limit of the district 4s |trips to and from Bismarck are made $413,000, based on the present valua- tion. On this basis the district could issue bonds totaling $314,817 and.this, added to the $75,000 already on hand would make possible a building cost- ing nearly $400,000. The size, type, and cost of build- | ing, however, have not been consid- ered by the board, according to Dr. W. E. Cole, its president, and any decision on this matter would be made in connection with determina- lion of the question of whether the edad should attempt to float a bond issue. In the event that a bond issue election is held, it was intimated by ; board members, the election - would not be held before the spring or fall of the current year. Department Head May Buy Supplies James Morris Says (Continued from page one) thought was not widely entertained throughout the state as a whole. Has Other Advantages The considerations mentioned, Davis said, are wholly apart from Bismarck’s advantages as to location, water supply and its facilities as a modern capital city. Davis pointed out that the North Dakota constitution designates Bis- marck as the capital city and requires that the seat of government be lo- ‘listed. Local citizens called attention i through Jamestown and that an ad- ditional 15 per cent would show a sav- ing of 60 miles per trip, Minot being 30 railroad miles nearer Jamestown than to Bismarck. The time saved would amount to from six to 15 hours on at least 60 per cent of ali trips, ! those in charge of the campaign con- | tend. Maps are being prepared by James- town traffic experts and mileage vouchers paid by the state are being tabulated to bear out the contentions | to a scandal in connection with the original selection of Bismarck and the state for the capital building re- cently destroyed, declaring that peo- ple of the state did not have the op- portunity to express their desires in the matter. It is also pointed out that destruc- tion of all office fixtures, letter files ' and state records would make it pos- sible to move from Bismarck to, Jamestown at very little expense. | A mass meeting of Jamestown and central North Dakota citizens prob- | ably will be called for tonight to out- | line plans for bringing the matter to. the attention of the legislature. which | convenes next week and to prepare | for signatures to bring the proposal | to a popular vote. ® i Dance at Menoken tonight.)

In Masonry, Mr. Pickton had THIS IS YOUR INVITATION TO THE _ ARGUE ented here. The state university, agricultural college, hospital for the insane and other state institutions are located in other cities of the State in the same manner. Meanwhile the work of preparing Bismarck’s city auditorium and new liberty memorial building for the re- coption of the legislature went for- ward rapidly. The two buildings are located side-by-side and a covered passageway has been build between them for the convenience of legisla- tors. The gymnasium floor of the memor- jal building is being prepared for use as a senate chamber and the re- modeling of the tity auditorium for use by members of the house of rep- resentatives was nearing completion. Salvage Work Complete Work of salvaging records from debris of the capitol building was virtually complete today. Every vault in the building had been opened and the contents brought to temporary quarters. The task of replacing documents destroyed con- fronted officials, who are engaged in | taking inventory of the losses. Ruins of the capitol still smouldered in a number of places but with re- moval of almost every record, there was no danger of further losses. A number of weakened walls have been wrecked to remove the danger to workers. A check of losses in the fire today showed that the state highway de- partment suffered the heaviest dam- e. Two. vaults in the department of- fices on the third floor were destroy- ed together with plans, blue prints, original field books on surveys and all other data. All office equipment. and papers and books kept on shelves and jn filing cases were destroyed. The only records of the department, saved from the fire were contained in a vault on the lower floor of the capitol building. This vault held papers relatively unimportant, in- cluding minutes of highway commis- sion meetings and similar data. Officials of the department today were occupied with making plans for replacing the lost records, with the first step in their work the taking of an inventory of the loss, Protest Use of Prisoners Members of the Bismarck Trades and Labor Assembly, at a meeting Friday night, called on the board of administration not to use prison labor in clearing away the debris at the capitol but to give jobs to North Da- kota citizens. A statement signed by members of the executive board said it had decided unanimously to “protest vig- orously against the use of prison labor, particularly at. this time when so many citizens of our state are in dire need of employment, Expressing gratification at Gov- ernor Shafer's recent statement that state employes would be kept on the payroll during the period of readjust- ing the state's business, the resolu- tion asked that he use his influence to give employment to residents of the state in preference to prisoners at the penitentiary and that he urge the state board of administration to do likewise. The resolution expressed confidence | that money to pay emergency labor “can easily be made available just as other necessary details incident to the resumption of state business have beep, and are now’ being taken care The resolution further asserted that business and professional men who sell goods and services to laboring People are equally interested with the latter in adjusting the problem. The resolution was signed by the executive board composed of Russell A. Young, M. C. Ottum, S. 8. Mc- Donald, James Douglas, P. A. Bur- Willys Six "495 AND UP, f. 0. b.
