(Correspondence of Associated Press)
PA HIS, Jan 21.—Marshal Joffre’s
letter to the secretary of the French
Academy officially announcing his can
didacy to the seat of the late Jules
Claretie has caused much favorable
comment here, but the impression ap
pears to have gone abroad that the
victor of the Marne will Join the Forty
Immortals on his military and not his
literary record.
The letter itself is brief. It reads:
Mr. Secretary: I have the honor
to inform you that I am a candidate
to the French Academy to the seat
of M. Jules Craletie.”
The military reputation of France's
only marshal overshadows his literary
one to such an extent that, while the
French are fatly convinced that no
honor in the world of letters, or in
any other art, is too great for the
popular hero, they wish to be made
better acquainted with his works.
The list of them is not long and thej
volumes are not bulky. Indeed, the
most famous writing that came from
the pen of Joffre is so short that it,
can be reproduced here in full. ltj
was written on the 6th of September,
1914. on the eve of the battle of the
Marne, and reads:
“At this moment, when a battle is
about to commence upon the result of
which the salvation of our country
depends, none must look behind; all
must unite to attack and repel the
enemy. Any troop finding itself un
able to advance further must hold the
ground at all cost and must fight until
death. No retreat."
Some time ago friends of Marshal
Joffre urged him to enter the Acad
eray. i ueir persistence was sucn tnar
he finally wrote a letter to the director
of the institution stating that upon
the advice of his friends he had de
cided to place his name before that
body for admission The rules of the
Academy governing applications for
admittance are to the effect that an
official request, naming the seat to
which the applicant aspires, must be
made to the secretary. Marshal Joffre''
made to the secretary. Marshal Joffre’s
high personality did not save him from
the formality, and thus the official re
quest was made.
The entrance of Marshal Joffre to
the Academy will not create a preee-|
dent, as far as the admittance of mili
tary men to the select circle is con-!
cerned. Six marshals of France al
ready have been recorded as mem
bers. They were Villars, d’Estras, the
Duke of Richelieu, Btlle-Isle, Beauveau'
and Duras.
It is an error, however, to think that
Marshal Joffre will receive the green
palms of the Immortals without ever
having written anything. In 1895
there was published in Paris a 75-page;
volume entitled “The Operations of
the Joffre Column Before and After
the Occupation of Timbuctoo.” It was
signed, “J. Joffre, Lieutenant-Colonel.'
Marshal Joffre also wrote a work on
Madagascar, but the edition has be
come exhausted, and no copy of it
can be found at present. And per
haps some day the victor of the Marne
may be induced to write his remi
niscences.
