PRESIDENTS ATTEND
! Wilson and Poincare
1 Witness Ceremony
at Academy.
PARIS. Dec. 10. Marshal Joffre
now is formally numbered among
France's forty Immortals. The victor
of tho Marne was made a member of
the French Academy this afternoon.
Promptly upon the stroke or one
Marshal Joffre arrived at the insti
tute, crossing the Seine over the Pont
des Arts, accompanied by his sponsor,
Gabriel Hanotaux. and his aide de
camp, Commandant Jourat.
With the knowledge that President
Wilson was to attend the function,
great crowds had gathered all along
the route followed by the marshal
whose cheers were divided between
the great soldier, the American presi
dent and President Poincaro of France.
The French president attended merely
as a private citizen and fellow aca
demician. Marshal Joffre wore the undress
uniform of a marshal of France, hav
ing demurred at wearing the elaborate
costume of an academician.
"II Is as a marshal of France that
1 enter the academy," said the noted
soldier. "And it is dressed as such
that I shall present myself there."
The marshal's well set frame bulked
besido that of most of his brother
members of the academy He deliv-
I crcd his inaugural speech in a deep.
( resonant voice which completely filled
i the chamber where the ceremony took
i place.
After reviewing the part played in
the war by France, Belgium and the
other Allies, Marshal Joffre said:
"It was fn the conviction that they
were fighting for right that the Al
lied nations found the strength to sac
rifice and the certnlnty of ultimate
victory. The power of these noble
sentiments have been evoked, in terms
which are ever-present in our memory
by the great President Wilson, while
they inspired him to most generous
j action."
! Alluding to his visit to the United
I States in 1917, Marshal Joffre said
"While in the midst of the Ameri
can crowds I was living hours which
I number among the sweetest of my
life. I had divined the need for sac
rifices on their part awakened in the
sould of this generous people by the
heroism of our soldiers and the justice
of our cause. In order that France
might live in prosperity, that Bel
glum might re-establish herself, that
liberty might reign and that right
might be reinstated, America arose
and resolved to throw into the fight
her last man and her last dollar."

STATE LIVESTOCK
INSPECTOR'S REPORT
There is not a known case of glan
ders in Utah at the present time, ac
cording to the first biennial report of
the state livestock board, which was
filed in the office of Governor Bam
berger yesterday by Dr. W. R. Hoggan
state livestock inspector, and Thomas
Redmond, secrtary of the board.
In the past eighteen months the de
partment has destroyed fourteen
horses on account of glanders, the re
port states, eleven of them originating
in Utah, two coming from California
and one from Montana. The eleven
head originating in Utah were ap
praised and 50 per cent of the value
was paid by the state to the owners
of (he animals This system was fol
lowed in all cases of animals destroyed
in the campaign to rid the state" of
infectious diseases.
Anthrax is one of the most serious
diseases with which the department
has had to deal. There have been
outbreaks of anthrax during the past
season in Davis, Salt Lake, Utah and
Weber counties, causing a loss of 200
cattle and exposing many others.
There have been 1G00 animals inocul
ated against the disease.
Dr. Hoggan says that his recommen
dations for successful eradication of
infectious diseases are by systematic
vaccination spring and fall, burning of
all carcasses dead from any contagious
or Infectious diseases, plowing up all
infected pastures and thorough clean
ing and disinfection of Infected barns,
sheds and corrals.
Various other diseases which have
been encountered are given attention
in the report, particularly nog cholera
and rabies, both of which have been
troublesome. Sheep dipping, destruc
tion of predatory animals and record
ing of marks and brands are dealt
with In considerable detail.
With reference to destruction of
predatory animals Dr. Hoggan says
that "to carry on this work in the
future I would recommend that a law
be enacted, doing away with the pay
ing of bounties, and turn the fund to
the livestock board to arrange a force
of men as hunters and trappers under
civil service methods, similar to for
est rangers. This would give us a per-

TURKEY TO STOP- PAPERS.
SALONIKA, Monday. Dec. 16. The
Turkish government has issued an of
ficial statement threatening to stop the
publication of norWTurk newspapers,
reviews and books, according io ad
vices received here The official state
ment says That articles published re
cently are incompatible with the in
terests of Turkey and that certain re
tractions may have to be applied.
Greek newspapers,, it is reported
from Constantinople, have been en
gaged in denouncing crimes committed
by the Turks in their centuries of rule
over the European and Asiatic terri
tory. This is said to have caused the
Turkish government to issue the state

HOG ISLAND IS
AGAIN UNDER
SENATE PROBE
WASHINGTON. Dec 19 Investiga
tion of the construction of the Hog is
land shipyard was resumed today by!
the senate commerce committee, with)
Charles Plcz, general manager of the
Emergency Fleet corporation, and
Charles M. Schwab, until recently director-general,
as the principal' wit
nesses. The decision to re-open the Inquiry
resulted from a statement recently
made In the senate that $5S,000,000 hail
been spent so far on construction and
that the one ship completed there was
not seaworthy until returned to the
yards for modification.
Mr. Piez testified that the total ex
penditures to date amounted to about
$58,000,000 and that the American In
ternational Shipbuilding corporation
which has the contract for building'
the plant, has not been paid anything.
Most of the work, he said, was done
by sub -contractors. According to un
confirmed reports, he added, the
American International company has
expended a million dollars of its own
money on the plant.
Mr. Plbz thought a five per cent
commission would be a reasonable
amount to pay the American com
pany. It was brought out that while con
struction work has been under the di
rection of former Rear Admiral)
Bowles, responsibility for carrying out
tho full program of constructing fifty I
ways Instead of thirty-one rested on
the Emergency Fleet corporation.
The witness said so far keels for
fifty ships had been laid, one ship
delivered and five are in the basin.
The one ship delivered was launched
prematurely which delayed it being
placed in service by about sixty days,
but he said the vessel was given the
highest rating by Lloyd's. Mr. Piez
said he anticipated the delivery of at
least two more ships by January 1.'
He praised the work performed by
the Skinner and Eddy plant at Seat
tie. Wash., which produced 26 ships'
this year on a five way yard. This
plant holds the record for production.!
It was brought out that approximate-1
ly 18 1-2 per cent of the construction
work at the Hog island yards was sub -1
let. These contracts totalled about!
$12,000,000.
Mr. Piez said the armistice will not'
interfere with the production of ships j
by the fleet corporation, which will go
on laying keels under present con
tracts. oo

Mrs. Hicks, a Maine housewife, is
so painfully neat that sho makes life
miserable for her family. One of her
rules is that all the members of the
household must remove their shoes
before entering the house.

with her husband, "I found a grease
spot on ope of the dining-room chairs
and I think It came off those pants
you wear in the shop."
