and suitable action Inns been taken Tx
ports of American paper money have
been or will be prohibited, and passen-
gers from this country for Europe will be

Germany, il Is said, is employing every
possible agency to get American money
out Of France. and IS using American and
allied paper money to maintain the cx-
change rate on the mark.

theory that the paper money "a being
uscd to liqudate orders for war supplies
in Spain. Holland, Switzerland, Den

GEN. FOCH NOW
COMMANDS ALL
FORCES OF ALLIES
Exercises Full Power Over Armies
and Commanders: Functions
Most Comprehensive.
A MASTER OF STRATEGY

Paris. April l6.-Francc acclaimed
with unallovcd satisfaction Yesterday the
first definite announcement, made Sunday
night. that General Foch had been ap-
pointed commander in chief of the allied
armies in France This long desired re-
suit has been slow In coming, for reasons
which have been too kcenly appreciated
by French opinion for any direct COM
mcnt to be possible
GREATEST EUROPEAN sTRATFGIsT.
The exact nature of the last stage of
the evolution OF Foch may be summed
up briefly. Fori several months Foch,
undoubtedly the greatest European
stratcgist, was able first as chief OF the
French staff. then rs n member of the
Versailles Council 10 give the allied
commanders only the benefit of his
opinion and advice. Since March % he
has been empowered TO give instructions
which were limited to the direction of
strategy. He now will give hls orders
as the supreme commander on this front.
HAS WIDEST POWER
lt is betraving no secrets, as the Matn
remarks, TO state that the widest powers
have now been conferred on Foch 10y
the British and French governments.
Whether il concerns the grouping or re-
leaders for these armies or the selection
OF mon of his own choice to command the
combatant forces of any service IN the
French or British armies, Foch hss re
Ceivcd the fullest latitude, and his de
Cisions will not be disputed
The biggest news which the Germans
will get Is that from this moment the
British, French and American forces
III France constitute one solid, united
army under the command Of single will
The next step foreshadowcd is the
organization Of a single Anglo-Frcnch
+general staff, and for this it Is sug-
gested by Pertinax IN the Echo dc Paris
that the existing Versailles Council may
be utilized as \ nucleus.
FRENCH BRITISH GENERAL sTAPF NTxT.
~It is Indispensable, SAWS Pcrtinax,
@<that General Foch shall have around
him S Franco British general staff, and
we hope he viii soon be able TO add
Italian representation also, which viii
be the real military brain Of our alli-
ance.
Dealing with the delicate question Of
the British viewpoint the French press |
paws generous tributes to the English |
action and secs in Foch's appointment |
proof that the British have decided 20 |
overcome all preiudices and legitimate |
personal feelings IN order 20 be FIRE |
from everything that can hamper the |
best possible use Of the forces which |
they have thrown into the war.

value. SAWS Pertinax. ''of the sacridc
which our British friends have consented

oct it tho extraordinary military prop
aratIons which England has multiplied
during the last four years ran q serious
risk Of being sterile. She has none
he less and 10 overcome s. great deal !
oi rcpugnance IN giving her consent.
The question Is already being asked
why the Italian front has not also been
brought under Foch. and It is being en-
phaticallv urged that this be done.
