The only interview over obtained from General Joffre was doomed not to see the light of day because of the vagaries of a

But M, Hue, the editor of the Depeche de Toulouse, and a warm personal friend of the General, succeeded where everyone else failed..

Tho editor complained of the censor's action, and it is said that the French Prémier himself asked him to reprint it, but on the condition that ene paragraph, which aroused the censor's ire, should be suppressed. M. Huc refused to be appeased, claiming that the consor had ample opportunity to voice his objections before the interview was printed. Sinos then, despite repeated attempts to have the interview printed in some Paris news- paper, it has remained in the drawer of M. Huc's desk.
HOW PARIS WAS SAVED;
The interview deals chiefly with the question as to who saved Paris from a Gorman occupation. Although the very impersonation of modesty, General Joffre ecta modesty aside to make the truth known. The interview proves that all

Admitting that luck played a certain part in the success of the French ruse, that von Kluck made tactical errors, that the Parisian taxi-divers helped a great deal, and that General Gallieni proved himself a louder in the true sense of the word, General Joffre, nevertheless, insists that the chief credit is due to General Maunoury, who so brilliantly executed the task entrusted to him.
