II U FOCH GREAT WAR MASTER; RECORD OF AOHILVEMENT , Consecrated Life to Revenge of Fatherland for Taking of , Alsace-Lorraine by Ger mans in 1870. General Ferdinand Foch is of Basque origin. He was born at Tar beein 1851, but was raised at Metz. Rather than become a German after the annexation of Lorraine, Foch pre ferred to return to France and help to prepare France for the struggle with Germany which he believed ul timately would take place. He entered the Polytechnic school with the number 72. He left it the 45th of his class a feat that was not considered as justifying hopes of a great future. He never dazzled by his brilliance but lie showed that wonders could be accomplished by application. He never ceased study ing, except to teach. Knows German Mentality. Foch began by mastering the strategy of the war of 1870 in its minutest details. Knowing the men tality of the Germans he counted upon their repeating in future con flicts the maneuvers that had suc ceeded. He also expected them to make some of the old mistakes. In his teachings at the Superior war school and in his writings he held always to the idea of an inevitable aggression by Germany, sprung with lightning-like rapidity after long premeditation, and most minute preparation the coming thunder bolt of the opening to develop into a struggle of colossal proportions. To parrv the tjlow Foch said re peatedly, France must have a staff working in the same direction, prac ticing the same doctrines under a au dacious chief, shirking no responsi bility, preserving the equilibrium of his mind, and the force of his intel ligence under formidable difficulties 4 and exercising without hesitation the most redoubtable rights over his sub ordinates. Foch foresaw Joffree as clearly as he foresaw the war of 1914 arising from the same motives as the war of 1870 and developing with the same objective Paris. He thought he saw quite as clearly a different issue, and it would be difficult to estimate the value of the service he rendered to France by communicating his con fidence to the young ofucers. .His work at the superior war school con tribufcd largely to the perfection of the French army, which, if less "dis ciplined" than the Germany army, was held by him to be far better "educated." .. The stars of a general were given Foch in 1907, and the command of the superior war school, where he left his mark as professor. - Preferring a more active command, he resigned in 1912 and commanded successfully the eighth and 20th army corps, and proved: that he was one of the few military . writers or professors who also was an efficient handler of men in the field. - - The War found Foch at Nancy, the headquarters of the 30th corps. His corps was attached to General Castel nau s army, and he was (elected to command a new army concentrating behind the center of tht forces march ing to the Belgian frontier to, meet the Germans. This army was not ready In time to take part in the battle of Charleroi, but it contributed singularly to the victory of the Marne. Foch's 120.OQ0 men, holding the center in that strug gle, had before them nearly 200,000 Germans, including the Prussian guard, and at times the pressure was so great that it seemed the thin line , must break. "They are so frantic in their at tacks," said Foch, "it, must' be that . things are going badly with them elsewhere. So let's hold tn." . At another stage of the struggle aides came up with the disquieting news that both the right and left wings? had been obliged to give ground. i "In that case," said Foch, "there's nothing to do but smash them in the center. Order up the Moors,", General Dubois, with the Moors on his left, smashed the Germans so bard in the tenter that the Prussian guard i was thrown back upon and into the Saint Gond Marshes. Von Hausen's fight wing was obliged to retire in unison, and Foch was able to reestab lish his line. , . After the Moroccan riflemen by three furious charges had captured the Chateau of Mondement, reports brought by aviators showed that in their retirement the forces of Von ' Buelow had left a gap between their left wing and Von Hausen's right. It was by promptly profiting from this situation in massing his troops against Von Hausen's exposed flank, that Foch disengaged General Langle De Cary's troops on his right and con tributed largely to the defeat of the German army. C. F. Schwager Returns From Months Stay in Detroit Charles F. Schwager former presi dent of the Alamito Dairy company, is home from a months' stay in De troit, where' he was called by the largest dairy and milk distributing company of Michigan as an expert to do some efficiency work for the com pany. .

Mrs. Schwager will return with Mr. Schwager to pass a couple of , weeks with him in Detroit, where he cays there is now a large surplus of milk.

Thirty-three American telephone girls, who speak English and French, equally well, have just arrived to operate the switchboards in the various army headquarters. They have been divided between the principal centers, Paris, General Pershing's headquarters in he field and the headquarters lines of communication. American officers have been pleas antly surprised when taking up the telephone receiver to hear the familiar "number, please," or "line's busy," instead of the usual French .equivalent. Although the French telephone equip ment is not as modern as that in America, the girls are fast becoming used to it and officers remark that thev alreadv notice an improvement in the telephone service. The French colleagues of these girls are surprised at tne rapiaity win which they take down connections, the American frequently putting up one connection with the thumb and forefinger and at the same time down another with the little finger of the same hand. I Alt th cirl are nrovided with a regulation colored skirt and blouse and a dark blue nat witn tne orange and white cords of the signal corps, to which they have been attached. If the experiment with girl operatqrs proves successtui, it is understood that more will be brought over from America. fixing It. "What art you playing there, Siam banxskl ?"

You will find it cheaper to start right by using the right varnish. Liquid Granite is widely known as the leading varnish for floors and all interior work where great durability is desired. It is waterproof, will not scratch, mar or turn white under the severest conditions of wear, and makes a smooth, velvety finish that can be kept in perfect condi tion with a floor mop. If you are interested in white interiors, you should know that Luxeberry Wlute Enamel produces that rich per manent snow whte finish that is so much desired but not always seen. Will not crack or chip, and a dampen ed cloth keeps the finish spotless. Color can be modified when desired to shades of bid ivory and gray. DISTRIBUTED BY NELS0N-ZARP PAINT CO.
