How Gotham Turned Out When
Joffre The Conqueror Came
Merrill Reed, '14, an assistant in the
department of botany of Columbia
university, viewed the arrival of Mar
shal Joffre and the French mission in
New York. He has written an inter
esting description of the scene in a
letter home, excerpts from which are
printed below.
At the time he wrote the letter.
Reed was undecided as to his own
course in the war. He has since en
listed in the officers' reserve corps and
left New York Monday to report at
Fort Snelling.
The letler follows:
"Joffre, Marshal of France, and con
queror of the Marne has certainly
come, seen and conquered Gotham. He
swept by in a big car, marked by his
blue great coat with red cape, red cap
and white hair. And the simplest
description of him would be possibly,
"a study, kindly, red cheeked man."
Looks, strange to say, remarkably like
his pictures.
"It's wonderful how the crowds rose
to greet him. People stood for hours (
in cramped positions, pierced by a
fierce wind, to yell themselves hoarse.
"Te other men in the retinue were
merefy figures to form a background.
Some, a few, recognized Vivian i. All
knew and cheered "the Blue Devil,"
who, by virtue of his wooden leg.
"made in the U. S. A." claims to be
part American. But when Joffre went
by, they tore loose, cut in with an ex
tra lung and roared.
"I mounted a fence of gas piping at
Grant's tomb to get a better look at
him. and- congealed by degrees. (I
could almost measure 'em) for another
hour. A neighbor fence bird turned
out to be a middleaged gentleman
who w as a veteran of the Seventh regi
ment "the millionaire regiment"
and he filled me with stories of war
and peace, America and Europe, until
the parade paradeu. I mentioned that
I wanted to get to France to do my
bit, whereupon he offered to take me
down to the armory and present me
for membership in the Seventh Just

ably be one of the first to get to the
ROTARY CLUB GIVES
$400 JO ORPHANS
The campaign to raise a fund to pro
vide for 250 of the fatherless children
of France, to which University people
have contributed freely, continues with
no lessening in enthusiasm. At the
noon luncheon of the Rotary club, Pres
ident Harry Porter itroduced Frot. F.
M. Fling, who spoke for five minutes
on our duty toward our French alllts,
especially the widows and children c f
the soldiers who have given their liv;s
for the common cause.
Another five minute speech was
made by Prof. J. E. LeRossignol, liter
whicu the members of the club re
sponded so readily that in a few min

trenches, and one could do worse than
to enlist there.
"I told him I'd consider it that just
now I was under government orders,
and would have to be released first.
The Seventh regiment was the origi
nal national guard (I'm quoting from
my friend), so named at Lafayette's
suggestion after the national guard of
France. The dress uniform is .blue,
fancy, and modeled on the old French
costume. And the officers are men
of influence. "Better a non-com. in the
Seventh than captain of another."
"Well, that's neither here nor there.
Just to form a background for the rest
of my story, for the Seventh in full
dress uniform shakos, patent leather
belts, and gold braid marched up,
formed line in front of us. facing the
tomb, and awaited the procession.
Really a finely drilled organization,
that will do its bit in a manner to be
proud of, no doubt, wealth or no
wealth.
"Soon the motorcycle officers came
up, and a fluttering of flags and rising
sound of voices down the drive told us
Joffre was coming.
"He rode with his hand at the visor
of his cap in salute just like they
do in Pathe's weekly. In fact, I'd seen
him once already in the movies, and he
looked perfectly natural. Yet here it
was different you heard the voice
you made some noise yourself you
saw the color that is lacking in the
film.
"The regiment stood at 'present,'
and the whole procession of cars came
up, the men walked up to the tomb,
and the papers will say that Joffre
stood silent at attention, gazing down
thoughtfully on the coffiif of a general
who also was hailed as the savior of a
nation.
"To the commonplace I got ever
lastingly tired and chilled, perching up
on that fence top. When I climbed
down I'd had a great view over the
heads of the crowd I felt as though
one of my shin bones had been trans
formed to wood, also.
"But I saw Joffre, and that's some
thing." utes no less than $26 in cash was sub
scribed, besides provision for the care
of nine children, amounting to about
$400 in all.

May Fete Abandoned for Economy
The annual May Fete, in which all
first and second year women students
join in a huge costume dance about a
May pole on the campus of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, will be omitted
this year on account of the increased
cost of costumes and other materials.
Twelfth Night, woman dramatic
society at the university, has also de
cided to abandon the production of
Rostand's "The Romancers," for which
the society was conducting rehearsals.
Simpler and cheaper performances will
take its place.
May other students activities are
also being abandoned or curtailed in

omy that is sweeping the campus.
