JOFFRE-SWAY
AN ABIIY OF YOUNG GENERALS. (Kec. April 7, 5.30 p.m.) London, April 6. A message from Paris says that; Franc© has a new and young army. The higher command has been rejuvenated, aiid there are Generals ten years younger than their predecessors.. .General Joffre, believing in new blood; is insisting on a higher standard of activity. , , ■ _ • The British "Tommies" are amazed to see French officers and "non-coms"-sitting at the same table—a captain and a corporal were seen bending over a chessboard in the trenches, a strange blend of cameraderie and sternness; the moment duty looms ahead, an iron shutter falls, and an unrelenting discipline is enforced.—("Times" and Sydney "Sun" 'Services.)
