authorities recognized Foch as the man.
Tactful, Firm.
"He already knew the stiff battslions
of the old British army" says Major
Johnston. He had followed the peace
manGuvres in the eastern counties in
1912, and had then noted the solidity of
the infantry units. At Ypres he met
once more what was left of them and
indeed he was for a short while re-
sponsible for their operations.
always polite and always a gentle
man, free moreover from administrative
fussiness, Foch handled delicate matter
with tact, judgment and frmness. And
it may be said that from this moment he
was the French General marked out as q
possible joint commander of the allied

four square theory of operation for the
new French army" So far, however,
did he emphasize the importance of mo-
rale as an element of military success that
he declared battle was never materially
lost as long as an army had faith IN
victory.
He found that the study of leadership
had been unduly neglected, so that the
great defciencyin modern armies has been
the lack of general officers capable OF
handling large masses of men. 1.-The.
French army had paid the price of this
neglect in 1876. Bazaine's magnificent
troops, markedly superior to the Germans
as companies, as battahons, as regiments,
had been thrown away because the brga-
diers and divisional officers were none
too good and because the high command
and staff were absolutely Ignorant of the
handling of masses" One of Foch's main
purposes at the Ecole dc Gucrre was to
develop the quality of leadership among
the Younger officers of the French army
His Forecast in 1901.
Foch has been criticised because long
before the present war Tin l90l) he pre-
dicted that the German assault on France,
when it came, would come through Al
ace-Lorrainc, rather than from the lower
Rhine through Belgium. Major Johnston
points ont that this view was expressed in
an carly hook, reprinted without revision,
and saws it is very improbable that Gen
eral Foch entertained the same opinion
down TO the outbreak of hostilities. At
all events, the beginning of this war
found him in command at post of much
danger, at Nancy. in the narrow gap be-
tween the Vosges Mountains and Luxem
burg; and within six weeks he had played
the greatest part of any General under
Jotfre, in driving back the German move
ment against Paris.
From that time to this he has steadily
advanced in the esteem of all the leaders
of the allied armies in France. until he
was chosen TO the supreme command al
most as matter of course. The wisdom
of the selection is being vindicated by
every war bulletin that comes from the
front
Major Johnston's monograph is an in
structiye and interesting contribution to
the literature of the Great War. We
should be glad if it told us even more
about man who is certain to be great
figure in the worlds history.

His Theories of War.

The basis of Foch's theories Of modern
warfare is to be found in the courses of
instruction which he gave as professor of
military history and theory at the Ecole
de Guerre Major Johnston declares that
these lectures contain the most keen and
subtle analysis of Won Moltke's operations
in the Franco Prussian War which has
as yet appeared.
"Foch sought in the most marked
way to deduce logical lessons on which
could be based convincing, clean cut,

Drafted Workers

If the Woman Citizens League of
Queens has it's way there will be no more
dlers in this state during war times. Fol
lowing the example Of Maryland, where
legislation was recently passed empower
ing the authorities to put to work those
without a regular occupation, this organi-
zation has prepared bill for presentation
at Albany which would authorize the Gov
ernor to draft any able-bodied man be-
tween eighteen and fifty not regularly or
continuously employed This would include
not only the vagrant, the habitually uner-
ployed individual, but the wealthy man
living on his own income or some other
PERSONS. Students, apprentices at trades
or professions and those engaged in sea-
sonal pursuits would be exempted.
All others, according to the terms Of
this measure, must register, under penal
ties duly prescribed for noncompliance.
Those registered might be assigned by the
Governor to work for the state or for
private employers for period not longer
than SIX months at any one time, due re-
gard being given to their physical ability
tc perform the kind of work assigned to
them. For such labor they would be paid
by the state or the private employers the
current market rates paid to volunteer
workers. Private employers would be
bonded; if they failed to pay their drafted
workers the pay would be Forthcoming
from the state, which would forfeit the
bond of the employer. Refusal to work
would be penali2ed the sheriffs, police and
other officials charged with enforcing the
laws would be required to arrest those who
failed to register
Obviously this is "emergency legisla-

which, according to American ideas of non
interference with individual rights and
liberties, would justify its enactment is a

even government officials, can pretend to
say accurately. The labor unions have
protested against the hiring of women
conductors by the local streeicar COM
pany. insisting that men willing and able
to do that work can be obtained. The
American Association for Labor Legisla-
ton thinks the labor problem could be
solved by the organization of a Federal
employment bureau or clearing house for
employers and jobless men, cooperating
with state and municipal employment bu-
reaus. The end of the Bowery bread line
brought about by the great demand for
labor, was chronicled a short time ago

Help the Y. w. G.. A.!

The work that the Y. W. c. A. is doing
for our soldiers and for our communities
is of very real Importance. The fifty
three hostess houses which it has placed in
camps in this country mean much to our
men and to their families and friends.
They afford the only places in camp whore
wives, mothers and friends can find head
quarters for meeting and visiting. The
problem Of emergency housing for girls
called to way work is of equal Importance.
The y. w. c. A. is providing housing and
recreation at points designated by the Fed
eral Commission on Training Camp Actv-
tiles. Abroad the organization is provid-
ing secretaries for the Red Cross huts for
nurses. Its other activities include lect-
ures on social morality.
1t is a relatively small sum that the Y
w c. A. aslls--$5 900 900 from the whole
country-of which 81 $50 .OO0 is allotted to
New York City. The point is that every

Boldly they ride to the battle or buffet the

Skirmishing high and lonely, swift to pursue

Sure setting out in the sunlight or groping

Lurking alert in the purple, lashing down
through the blue,
Stealing abroad in the grayness swift to
attack and pursue.
Stride for stride with the foeman, rib to rib

Treading the earth -mists under as the troop
horse treads the vale:
Climbing the cloudy clff-paths where the
waves of the blue begin;
Chasing the dawnlight outward, racing the

Our Only Arissocrat

Tom Lee. Mayor Of Chinatown. is put

Tom Lee, sitting in the heart OF upstart
New York, housed in the shadow Of a rat
tling elevated railway, with a city rushing
around and about, building Up and tearing
down. was as old as the Sphinx. Only, the
Sphinx is a bit Of Occidental art noureou

thing we boast or know west of Suez that
he belonged in an age all his own.
Nothing annoyed or surprised him. He
possessed an effortess dignity that made
the best pomp Of our oldest aristocrats
shabby pretence by comparison. 1t was
wild era Of invention and novelty that
he spanned. Yet it's amazngest achieve
ments left him, as ever, polite, calm and
slightly bored. After all, What is an aero
plane to a race that counts thousands of
years in its history before young Icarus
was so much as dreamed of!
New York never paid much attention to
Tom Lee. Yet he was one Of it's most dis
tinguishcd figures and, to all who saw him,
wisest teachers. The brashest youngster
with reforms for all the world under his
hat, could not fail to take little sense
from one look at that wise, impcrturbable,
