GENEVA, May 62 (Correspondence
of The Associated Press. )--Since the
General-ln-Chlei' of the French armies
has passed to the rank of the great
commanders, French biographers. and
historians have- sought. and are still
seeking the origin of his family.
Some pretend that the victor of the
Marne is of Basque blood, others e11~
deuvor at any price to make a
Trenchman of purer blood of him.
‘ The question remalnb'open because
.Ioffres have been found at every
epoch, even those the'most remote,
in three of the ancient French pro-
vinces—tin Limousin, in Dauphine and
in the Vivarais.
As for the General; himself, he does
not conceal his attachment to his lit-
tle fireside at Rivesaltes in the~Pyre-
nees.-Orientales, and thus far has
shown a remarkable indifference to
“efforts that have been made to fix
honorable origin upon him.

the great man. There are at present

not been for a long time, but there

ARCHANGEE, Russia, May 6. ((‘or—
respondence of The Associated
Press. )m-The ice Is now breaking up
on the rivers Jug and Wage, and the
mugging of the port is expected
The winter months have been spent
in attentions activity, preparing tho
port facifltles for the traffic which
they were totally unable to handle
during the early months of the war.
The war has given Archangel an
importance which it probably never
had before, even in the days when it
was the chief port of Russia. After
some two hundred years, during
_ which it found its import trade g ad-
ually absorbed by other ports of Rus-
sia, while its exports were principal-
ly lumber and. a small proportion of
the Russian wheat crop; it became,
with the closing of the Black Sea and
the Baltic, the principal importing
center of Russia.
The facilities of the port were in-
adequate to deal with the immense
trade which developed. Ship ‘ after
ship, laden with munitions of war and
every kind of commodity, arrived, un~
til the port Was in a state of hope-
less chaos. Usually closed by ice at
the beginning of November it was
kept open a month longer by the aid
of powerful ice~breakers from Cana-
da. , ‘
The winter months have been de-
voted to clearing off all arrears at
the docks, developing the railway ac-
commodatlons, and erecting many
new sheds and warehouses for stor-
age. Many of the Petrograd shipping
houses have opened offices and there
is not likely to be a repetition of the
state of disorder which existed last
year.
Already a large number of steaur
,ers have been chartered for trade be-
tween Archangel and England or
between Amhangel,_and the United
States. The Russian Governmenchas ’
given large contracts in the United
States for automobiles, uniforms,
barbed wire ,and munitions of every
description, which will employ a.
considerable number of steamers for
their transport. ' \' '
