FRENCH HIGH COMMAND, W Minister decided to remove

GENERAL WHO WAS TOO WISE.

Michel and replace him by Joffre.

The reserves were left in a state of unreadiness for war, bocanso Joffre declared that "the business would be aettled by the time they were ready." As the result, there were 1,200,000 reorviata cooling their heels in the as Freneb depots when the French active corps were fighting against heavy odds and being forced back.

Curiona and important disclosures as to the errors of the French high command on the outbreak of war are made by General Peroin in "1914: Les Erreurs Ju Haut Commandement" (just published, Michel, Paris, 38, 6d} General Peroin cites evidence given He shows that, so far back as 1911, before the French Parliamentary General Michel, then the French Inquiry of 1919 which shows that generalissimo, bad prepared a plan Joffre was blind to information sent which would have defeated the to him regarding the German move German attack on France throughments: Belgium.

Michel drew up a long memorandum for the French Government in 1911 which stated:-

The Germane recognise that in the event of war they cannot bope to secure & prompt and decisive victory in Lorraine or Eastern Belgium. There seems no doubt that the whole of Belgium will be the principal theatre of future operations between France and Garmary. Garmany will not hesitate to employ there the greater part of her 42 active and reserve

army corps.

One of our intelligence agents in Germany announced that 700,000 Germans were moving through Aix- la-Chapelle towards Belgium. He wes informed that he was mistaken and requested to obtain better in formation. The reply of this agent was that not 700000 Germans bat more like 2,000,000 were moving on Belgiam and Northern France The agent was right, but he could not persuade the French staff. "Joffre believed he bad only 23 German corps before him. This was the figure which he gave in an order dated August 8, 1914."

It is sometimes dangerous to see too far ahead. Michel was too wise. When his plan was divulged to the French generals who formed the Superior War Council they one and all condemned it. Joffre was against it, like his colleagues; and the French
