WHAT A CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
COULD MEAN TO HIGH POINT

Il In these days cities do not chap

EVertised in allHmanner, Of ways. High
/ Point is faVorably known Throughout
/ the State as being an alert, up-to-date
manufacturing city. with variety OF
industries, place Where everyone
1 works. Quite true: our town is known
! throughout the nation to some extent
as a furniture center-but the variety
! Of our industries has astonished even
our own people.
t "A Chamber of Commerce with full
time secretary would devise numerous
ways to attract business enterprises
and desirable citizens. If we have so
many varied interests already, it
stands to reason htat this city has an
advantageous combination Of attract
lens for manufacturers, due to it's To-
cation relative to railroads and its
geographical position convenient to
the states North and South. It's clim-
ate is another advantage and so on,

GENERALISSIMO OF ALLIES

Gen. Ferdinand Foch. who has been
put In supreme command of the armies
Of Great Britain, France and the Unit
ed States on the west front. Is Of
Basque origin, and Is famed as n
strategist.
Foch began by mastering the STRAIT
egy of the war of 1870 In its minutest
details. Knowing the mentality Of the
Germans, he counted upon their repeat
ing In future conflicts the maneuvers
that had succeeded. He also expected
them to make some of the old mis-
takes.
In his teachings at the Superior
war school and In his writings he held
always to the idea OF an Inevitable ag-
gression by Germany, sprung with
lightning-like rapidlty after long pre-
meditation and most minute prepara-
ti0n-the swift thunderbolt of the
opening to develop into struggle OF
colossal proportions. To parry the
blow, Foch said repeatedly. France
must have a staff working In the sal
