When the crushed and beaten armies of France returned to what was left of ‘their dismembered country after the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, there was among them a young officer—Paul Gerald Pau —who had entered the service as a cadet and fought his way through to a captaincy. If there was one man with those retreating defenders whose spirit was unconquered, his name was Captain Pau. Maimed and sad- dened though he was, he could not feel for a moment that his beloved France was vanquished. Her ulti- mate triumph, he believed, had merely been postponed ,and the day would yet come when he could face again those powerful invaders from the North. | van, Through the long years that in-| tervened between 1870 and 1914, he took his place as one of the most patient and confident of th2 archi- tects who planned and prepared for a return match with the victors. During this period he had ad- vanced at a steady pace until he became, in 1911, a Brigadier Gen- eral and a member of the Supreme War Council of France. At this point he was retired because of his age. Great Day Comes Then came the great day for which he had waited so long. As all Europe became a vast mobiliza- tion camp, the old fire flamed out again in General Pau, and by popular demand he reentered the 'noes, Aniakchak and Veniaminof. ALASKAN POSTS MAY BE FILLED IN SHORT TIME tion of Appointments to Be Discussed WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 24— (Special Correspondence) — There are four appointments due to be made by the President for Alaska, all under the Department of Jus- tice. The term of Judge G. J. Lomen at Nome expired in the spring of 1930 and his reappoint- ! ment was sent to the Senate about a year ago. The Judiciary Committee, how- | ever, decided not to recommend his | confirmation, but his successor has not yet been named. In the case of Marshal Chas. D. Jones, who was reappointed a year ago, ob-| Jjection was made to his confirma- tion but no action was taken by the Judiciary Committee, and he continues to serve.

Assistant Attorney General Sis»] son, in charge of the Administra-| tive department, has indicated that he will take up these appointments | with Delegate Wickersham after | the holiday recess. There are| various applicants for the several appointments. The fact that the| Department has-had a bill intro- duced in Congress to combine the Second or Nome Division with the Fourth or Fairbanks Division, ef- fective July 1st next, will not ne- cessarily interfere with appoint- ments, as the bill may not pass. ‘Among the recess appointments sent to the Senate was that of Leroy M.

The draft of the plan of the American attitude of the Ameri- lcans will undergo final polishing Secretary and at conferences between of State Henyy L. Stimson Ambassador Charles G. Dawes. One point in the American plan will provide for assent to a com- bination of direct and budgetary limitation of land forces. The direct limitation gives each nation so many guns, so many sol- diers, so much ammunition. The budgetary limitation allows each na- tion to spend definite amounts of money on arms and troops. Another policy item is opposition to. suggestions that the size of battleship be reduced {rom the ‘Washington Treaty limit of 35000 tons. This question is to come up again in 1935 under the terms of the Naval Treaty. The United States feels that no country is ready to build these expensive ships now. o OPERA SINGER WEDSINN.
