Gen. French was mad at the French
British and French generals were fighting among themselves, 20 year**
ago today. The British commander-in-chief in France, Gen. Sir John
French, thought the French were misusing British troops, and set about
to establish a policy of independent operation until Kitchener and Wilson
intervened, one with bluster, one with tact.

THE WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY
August 30th, 1914 —‘Britain’s gene
rals had an army of regulars with
practical and varied experience with
out parallel among the Continental
armies. But the leaders were show
ing plainly that however skilled they
were in handlind small columns In
colonial expeditions, they had no ex
perience in directing large forma
tions in a great war.
Long before the shot at Sarajevo
that rang around the world, the gen
eral staffs of France and Britain had
worked out their plans for collabora
tion—on paper; they had been given
access to each other’s maneuvers;
they had exchanged secrets. Their
efforts weren’t matching up now.
British generals were not used to tak
ing orders from foreign staffs, they
were finding it hard to accustom
themselves to the Gallic tempo and
temperament. French leaders, fight
ing desperately upon their own soil,
were short tempered in intolerant.
And politics intervened, too.
The politicians had demanded the
premature invasion of Alsace which
cost the French so heavily. Then
they insisted that Joffre abandon the
orderly retreat that had enabled him
to get his punk-drunk army revived
and reorganized for a defense of
Paris in their best fighting trim.
Joffre changed his plan and sent.
Lanzerac’s army and the British
northward to Charleroi and Mons
just before the defeat of his Lorraine
army ended all chance of lessening
the force of the German blow coming
from Belgium. This change in plan
led to the subsequent disasters, for
it threw two small armies, stil imper
fectly concentrated and amounting to
seven corps, against 13 German corps.
When two British corps took posi
tions behind a canal with Mons as
their center, they were attacked be
fore they had time to entrench by
I masses of Germans whose approach
took them by surprise. They were
equally surprised when they found
that Lanzerac had retreated, leaving
their left flank wide open, without
informing them. Thero already had
been bad blood between the British
and French commanders, and
i J . ohn French felt Ills ally had left
him in the lurch, and he made plans
to leave them to retire independently
to Havre.
The Canadians and Australians who
will bear so much of the brunt of the
fighting, have not arrived. The Brit
, }sh have only 80,000 effectives. For
hese| it. is a period of terrible suffer
ng. They are, footsore and weary
from endless marching, for they have
retreated faster and further than
l the French. The French armies are
n shape again for a struggle, the
British are not.
. Fortunately, the Germans have be
gun to show weariness, too. Furth
er more .they have advanced so. rap
idly that their supplies have failed
to keep pace, so that the fatigue of
the grayclad troops has been increas
ed by hunger. When the chance of

battle conies, their fighting power is
numbered by physical exhaustion —a
condition aggravated by the destruc
tion which the French carried out as
they retired.
There is weariness at the top, too
The war now is being fought on s
big a front, by so many armies, that
the contest is between the capacities
of the two supreme commands. The
burden upon Von Moltke is the heav
ier. He has the strain of -watching
and directing campaigns on two
fronts. He is a man of indifferent
health and advanced years, by nature
kindly rather than insistent, and ,
has a dozen jealous commanders
deal with—the Prussian crown prince
the Bavarian crown prince, JVon
Kluck, Ludendorff.
The hour of opportunity for the
Allies is near.
GREAT DAYS
August 30th 1637—'Mrs. Anne Hut
chinson, 46, first woman preacher in

Newton, Mass., and sentenced to ban

the United States government for
the amounts! The U. S. settled.)

August 30th 1862—General Thomas
Jonathan Jackson, 38, routed the
federal forces of Major General John

Presbyterian.)

this date are alert, imaginative, and
versatile, and often have marked tal

travel and water sports. They do
not work well with others, and need
the stimulus of necessity to do their
best. Early marriage frequently
brings unhappiness because of their
inability to settle down to routine and
responsibility.

acts not wholly clean. '

NRA Reorganization
That the NRA will be drastically
reorganized regardless of whether or
not there is a dispute in its ranks
has been apparent for time.
Secretary of Labor Perkins and
Donald Richberg in the 6nd will be
victors over General Johnson. The
feeling is that General Johnson has
served his purpose. Neither labor nor
employers are satisfied with him
now. That may not be his fault.
