JOFFRE COMPARED WITH WASHINGTON Representative Beck’s Eulogy of French Marshal Shows Qualities in Common, ‘While there was a striking parallel between the military careers of Gen. ‘George Washington and Marshal Joffre, Representative James M. Beck of Penn- sylvania, in delivering a eulogy in the House on the great French commander last week, declared the quality they had most in common was their modesty. “Washington never claimed credit for any vistory, nor did Marshal Joffre,” said Mr. Beck, who spoke on the day the defender of the Marne died in Paris. “Prom that time, on September 4, when Marshal Joffre issued his inspir- ing call to the men of France to ad- vance or die in their tracks in defense of France,” said Mr. Beck, “Joffre never made any claim for credit or the world's applause. Even the commanders whom he vanquished have written many pages in vindication of their respective achievements, but the heroic victor of the Marne has been content to let his epic_achievements speak for him. In all the controversies that have arisen since, Joffre remained as silent and se- rene as he was on that fateful fourth day of September. 1914, when, after several hours of silent deliberation, he turned to his staff and simply said, ‘We will make our stand on the| Marne.' " | Choice of Burial Place. As George Washington's body rests | in the quietude of his home at Mount Vernon, Mr. Beck pointed out, so Mar- shal Joffre preferred to be buried at his own_home. | “This suggests a true parallel that eould be drawn between Joffre and ‘Washington, for each of them was su- a;!me]y great in those qualities of gen- ness, modesty and courage which make up that great quality of soul which we call magnanimity.” Mr. Beck said the “miracle of the Marne” is in many respects the great- est battle ever staged in the world, whether it be judged by quantitative or g;ziuuve values. Measure by battle tage, he said, the fleld was approxi- mately the same as the distance from New York to Washington. It was, in fact, five battles, fought simultaneously by Joffre against the German high command, he pointed out, each battle being as great in numbers and space as Waterloo, Sedan or Gettysburg. High Command Differences. ‘The German high command during the battle of the Marne, Mr. Beck said, directed the battle from a point as re- moved as Luxembourg, and treated the army as though it were a system of transportation, to be operated on sched- uled time. 5 Joffre, on the other hand, treated his army not as a machine, but as a great eollective soul,” he said, “and he showed the highest genius of a commander in « ing his plans from day to day, and almost from hour to hour.” Mr. Beck, in conclusion, declared that in recent years “the subtle poison of paganda has run through the veins taught that the World War was either a stupendous economic fatality for which no nation was to blame, or that it was 8 culpable and fraticidal conflict for vql!:]lch all nations were equally respon- sible.” “If this latter view be correct, then sons of France and England and America who followed what to them seemed a heavenly vision of justice, were the victims of a great delusion. 1 cannot believe this.” —_— Refusal of farmers in Manchuria to sell their products at present prices is causing a serious financial tangle. persons were grandstand tollapsed armory, where a basket ball game was about to begin between two college teams. in the stands. followed upon the crash. serves were called, and ambulances from several hospitals were sent to the scene. pital attention. proj man, of the allied nations, and we are now | crushed THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, VASILIOS POKRATIS, Greek sponge diver, retrieved the golden cross during the annual celebration of Epiphany at Tarpon Springs, Fla., and received the traditional blessing from Archbishop Damaskinos of the Greek Orthodox Church. —A.

Official Tells Indian-| apolis Bureau of Several Favorable Signs. l Will Debate Here I By the Associated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., January 10.— An outlook for agriculture in 1931 “cer- tainly brighter” than the depressed con- | ditions of the past year was seen today by R. W. Dunlap, Assistant Secretary ' of Agriculture. In an address prepared for delivery before the Marion County Farm Bureau, Mr. Dunlap said that department econ- omists “believe that by the second half | of this year demand (for agricultural | products) will be improyed.” “‘Moreover,” he continued, “the prob- ability is good for more favorable cli- matic conditions; certainly there will be no such drought as was experienced in 1930. Also, the indications are good || for lower production costs | retall prices for materials used farm operations and farm living.” Severity of Depression. Reviewing the t_year, Dunlap said ! that the world-wide depression in busi- ness was much more severe than any one expected it to be, and consequently the decline in demand for farm prodcts exceeded expectations. Moreover, he added, “the worst drought we ever ex- perienced has withered the returns of thousands of farmers.” Cause of Reduced Value. Mr. Dunlap recalled that decreased | production, together with lower prices for major farm products, reduced the valuation of the 1930 crop to about 72.3 per cent of the valuation in 1929. | Regarding-the Farm Board, the As-| sistant Secretary said that one of the great needs of the farmers today is an| improved marketing system “that Wflll get for them the full market value of their product.” The work of the Farm Board and enactment of the agricultural market- ing act, he believed to be a move in the right direction.

ONE of the things you'll like about Listerine Tooth Paste is the business- like way it gets rid of tooth discolora- tions—especially tobacco stains. Try it a day. You will immediately note the new brilliance it imparts to your teeth. Another quality you will like is the wonderful feeling of freshness itleaves in your mouth, the feeling you associ- ate with the use of Listerine itself. Your entire mouth feels clean—invigor- ated. Your breath is sweetened. You aren’t ashamed to meet people. The fact that this remarkable denti- frice at 25¢ saves you about $3 a year over high-priced tooth pastes may also interest you. That we can offer such a paste at such a price is due to marked economics, effected by large-scale buy- ing, modern methods of manufacture, and mass production. In the past five years nearly four million people have beert won to Lis- terine Tooth Paste. Not by its popular ice, but by its quality and the amaz- ing results it accomplishes. They like the thoroughness with which it cleans every surface of every tooth. The way it removes ugly dis- colorations and dangerous tartar with- out injury to precious enamel. They like the way it makes dull teeth gleam. The way it freshens the mouth and cools inflamed gums. If you are not already a user, buy a tube today. Give it a thorough trial. You will be delighted.
