he said, has mussed up everything
she touched in Russia"

to Destroy German Sub
marines.

London, Aug. Interesting revela-
lions regarding the work of British
mystery ships which have played an
important part in antisubmarine war
fare are made by the naval correspond

baby" accounted for U-boat is told
by the correspondent. The submarine
ordered a vessel to surrender and fired
a few shells into her The boats then
left the ship, leaving on board a wom-
an, who ran up and down the deck
with a baby in her arms as if mad.
The U-boat came alongside the vessel
and the woman hurled the "baby'' into
the open hatch. The ''baby" exploded
and blew out the bottom of the sub
marine. The woman" was decorated
with the Victoria cross
The correspondent also mentions
the story of a retired admiral, serving
as a captain, who placed haystack
on board an ancient looking craft
When the U-boat ordered it to surren-
der the Germans were astonished to
receive a broadside from the hay
stack.

FOCH NOW A MARSHAL
GIVEN HIGH HONOR AS SAVIOR
OF FRANCE.
clemenceau Says Allies Commander
Vanquished Enemy Who Planned
to impose German Peace.

Paris, Aug. THE council of min
listers has elevated Gen. Ferdinand
Foch, commander in chief of the al
lied forces ON the western front, to a
marshal of France.
The ministers also have conferred
the military medal on General Petain,
commander in chief of the French
armies on the western front.
In presenting the name of General
Foch, Premier Clemenceau said:
"At the hour when the enemy, by a
formidable offensive, counted on
snatching the decision and imposing
German peace upon us, General Foch
and his admirable troops yanquished
him.
Paris is not in danger, scissors and
Chateau Thierry have been recon
puered, and more than 200 villages
have been delivered.
''Thirty-five thousand prisoners and
700 cannon have been captured, and
the enemy's high hopes of the week
before have been crushed. The glori-
Gus allied armies have thrown him
from the banks of the Marine to the
Aisne. Such are the results of the
high commands trategy, superbly exc
cuted by Incompatible commanders.
The confidence placed by the republic
and by all the allies in the conqueror
of st. Gon.l, the User, and the Somme
has been fully justified"
The awarding of the "Medaille Mill
taire'' to General Petain is a distinc-
ton rarely given to officers, the decora-
ton generally being reserved for en-
listed men. Marshal Joffre is one of
the few officers who have received this
honor
