A dispatch to the Matin from Athens says that tho Patris prints a statement made by General Joffre to M. Fougeres, di rector of tho French schools at Athens, Ath-ens, In which General Joffre says: "We have every reason to be sure of final victory. We are beginning to get proofs which show that beyond doubt that German power Is waning. The signs are such as cannot be mistaken mis-taken by competent persons. These signs and proofs relate more particularly particu-larly to the morale of the Gorman army. The quality and matorial condition con-dition of the troops permit us to conclude con-clude that our enemy Is now entering upon a period of exhaustion. Germany Ger-many is beginning to wear out That fact is oortain, but of course It does not mean that she Is already worn out and we still have a great effort to make. But with tho admirable endurance of our army and the perseverance per-severance of the whole French nation and our allies we are sure of final triumph." |
