living. They idolize him.
What do the Germans
think Of him3

What do the Germans
think Of him?
The ar-Wochenblatt, Or
gan of the German general staff,
ranks him as one of the few first
class strategists among the allies.
How did he stand with the
French people before the
war?
They hardly knew of him. The
army knew him as one of it's
greatest officers. Military men
in other countries knew him prin-
cipally thru his two widely stud
led books, Principles of War"
and Conduct of War" But the
French public knew no more
about him than the American
public does about the head of
West Point in peace times.
.
Does he 60 out among his
men?
Yes. Frequently. Much as
Napoleon used to. No hob-nob-
bling; no joking; mo- familiarity.
Drops into a trench or an occu-
pied village, looks men and food
and equipment over informally,
makes a useful comment, drops
a phrase worth remembering, and
leaves behind him confidence, re-
spect, enthusiasm.
Why has Frances great
fight been called ''Foch's
fight?
Because he taught many of the
French commanders and strate-
gists of this war. Because he
often warned that a great war
was inevitable and demanded that
France get ready. $50 certain
was he of this that many Off
GERS called him "Foch, the alarm
iat.") Because of his work on
the larger guns of the French
field artillery which have proved
of such worth in this war. Work.
ing secretly on the gun problem,
Foch went week after week to
the great Creusot gun works in
the grimy blouse of working
man. experimenting, testing. an

What "Tiger"
Thinks of Him

Years ago 1t fell to Clemen-
ceau, the "Tiger"-then, as now,
premier of France-to choose a
director of the Ecole de Guerre,
the French West Point" where
French officers are made.
Many big generals wanted the
job. There was lot of wire
pulling. This disguised Clemen-
ceau. He decided to make his
own choice unhampered. He took
Foch to dinner and told him:
you're nominated director OF
the Ecole de Guerre."
Director of the Ecole de
Guerre!" echoed Foch. But
am not a candidate for the post
THAT is possible, but you're
appointed all the same"
Foch thanked the premier, but
he still had his doubts.
II fear you don't know all my
family connections" he said. 81

How old is FOch? Where
did he come from?
Ferdinand Foch will be 67 or
Oct. 2, 1918. He was born in
Tarbes, a little town in southern
France, near the Spanish border
When did he become
soldier?
Foch has been a soldier all his
life. He fought the Germans
when a boy in the war of 1870
He served as a subaltern, as did
Joffre. After the war he began
to win notice. At 26 he was an
artillery captain. Later he be-
came professor of tactics in the
French West Point"-the Ecole
de Guerre. After five years
teaching he returned to >regi'
mental work. He had reached
the rank of brigadier general
when Clemenceau made him d.
rector of the Ecole de Guerre
From this post he went to COM
mand the Thirteenth division
then the Eighth corps at Brouges
and then the Twentieth corps al
Nancy, where he was stationed
when the war broke out.
What kind Of a fellow is
he personally?
Modest, quiet, retiring; slim
active and graceful; looks and
acts now like a man of 40; large

In a general discussion of the west

The melting was held in the city hall

exander Linn, H. c. Clayton and J. G.

We're the only towns represented. The

were comparatively few German
women or Austro-Hungarians. About
100000 Germans have been registered
in the nationwide census-260, 900
men and 100000 women.
Up to last July 1, department Of
justice investigators had rounded up
%, ,439 young men who sought to es-
cape the draft, and had caused their
induction into the service. More than
100000 cases of men who for some
reason or other had failed to file ques-
tionnaires or to appear for physical
examination weer investigated.
Looking forward to peace condi-
tions, the attorney general makes a
number of recommendations for re-
form of judicial processes. Although
he referred to the difficulty of push
ing antitrust prosecutions during the
war since the government itself has
been in the business of suppressing
competition, he made no suggestions
for new antitrust legislation which
congress is expected to undertake
| soon.
War activities claimed the principal
portions of the report, and after re-
ferring to the growth of the depart
ment's secret service to six times it's
size in 1916, and the efficient organi-
zation of the American protective
league of 250,000 citizen volunteers,
Mr.. Gregory said:
at is safe to say that never in its
history has this country been so thor
oughly policed as at the present time
"When it becomes possible, through
the lapse of time, to disclose fully the
activities Of these various service
their work will stand out as one of the
substantial achievements of the war
Hints of an American espionage
Isystem were given in the statement
that the secret services "have giver
protection not only to the civilian pop.
ulation but to the armed forces, anc
some of their activities have also re

forces abroad"
Great stress was laid on the suffi

How Disloyalty Was Suppressed
By the Government During War
An Army of Department of Justice Men, Detectives Volun-
teer Help Etc; 5000 Enemy Aliens Have Been Arrested
About 100000 Germans Registered

Washington Dec. 5.-The story of
how enemy agents have been caught,
disloyalty suppressed, draft slackers
apprehended, dangerous Germans in
termed, explosions and other sabotage
prevented, and enemy secrets ferreted
out for use against their armies
abroad, was given to the public today
in Attorney General T. w. Gregory's
annual report. Through great corps
of department of justice civil officers,
secret agents, and citizen volunteers,
this big job of policing has been ac-
complished, said the attorney general,
with a minimum disturbance to the
normal life of communities, and with
constant effort to avoid encroaching
on freedom of speech, action and po-
litical criticism.
Referring to the enforcement of the
espionage act, Mr.. Gregory said:
This department throughout the war
has proceeded upon the general prin-
ciple that the constitutional right of
fee speech, free assembly, and petition
exist in war time as in peace time, and
that the right of discussion of govern
mental policy and the right of politi-
cal agitation are the most fundamen,
tai rights in a democracy"
At the same time, the attorney gen
eral explained, the department had
tried to deal severely with propagan-
da having for a deliberate purpose
the disintegration of the country's
war strength.
Gone of the distinct achievements of
the American people," he said, "has
been the maintenance of order, the
comparative failure of enemy activi-
ties and, speaking broadly, the gener-
al self-control and self restraint ex-
hibited throughout the country in crit
ical situations"
The attorney general disclosed that
only 5000 enemy aliens have been ar
rested on presidential warrants ant
examined with a view to internment
and that ga considerable number" o1

Lieut.. w. M. Jackson of the war de-

Hollins that the war department does
not need the nuts, pits, etc., that were
saved, and has sent out circular let
ter notifying all parties who are col
lecting these articles to discontinue
collecting the same.
In this circular letter the depart
ment asked that sincere thanks be ex-
tended to all school children and 9th
ers who have worked in this matter:
Quite a large number of hickory
nuts were collected in Pinellas county
and Mr.. Hollins has tride to find If
they were not of commercial value
