JOFFRE’S POVERTY
LANDLORD’S THREATS STORM OF PROTEST IN PARIS By Cable. —Press Association. — Copyright. Reed. 10.30 a.in. PARIS, Tuesday. Tlie announcement that Field-Mar-shal Joffre will be obligred to give up his apartment because his rent is about to be doubled has caused a storm of
protest, despite the offer of a generous Spaniard, who says he would be honoured to provide the marshal with adequate premises. Marshal Joffre, being over 70, could legally claim the right to remain where he is and the landlord would be powerless, but he prefers to leave. An indignant newspaper says that while the nation prepares a place in the Pantheon for great men, no attempt is made to house them worthily before their death.—A. and N.Z.
