Here S One Pup That
KnowS His Master

Samuel Mud Casey in his ef-
forts to spread more poison,
has thrown all common deaen-
ey to the wind, firmly implant-
ed himself against the eoW-loC
fence add proceeds to sling
mud and slime III a manner
that The Journal can never
hope to equal.
If Samuel Mud ever had
any regard for truth. it is like
his conscience-laid on the
shelf for future use.
1t has been said that no hon
est man can ever hope to win
an argument with a liar and
that's exactly the attitude we
find ourself in with regard to
Samuel Mud.
For instance, S. Mud enum-
crates a long list Of persons
whom he says are holding gov
eminent Jobs secured for them
by Senator Robinson and
among others he mentions era
dy Miller.
Grady Miller is in the l. S.
Army, stationed at Camp Pike.
where Re draws the pay Of a
private soldier instead of the
fat salary that S. Mud says he
is drawing. This fact can cas-
lily be verified by anyone who
cares to know the truth.
But what does S. Mud care
for the truth? He is only in
terested in spreading poison
and prejudice. He knows his
case is hopeless if he sticks to
the truth, so he only rolls
up his sleeves little higher,
delYes a little deeper into his
convenient array of cow-lot
material and proceeds with the
smearing process of his "argu-
ment.
The same is true with regard
to his statement that third
class postmasters owe their
jobs to Senator Robinson. We
defy S. Mud to cite single
instance in the entire history
of the United States where The
confirmation of a third class
postmaster was ever held up
by any senator.
Now, S. Mud, produce the
proof, or admit that you have
lied again.
S. Mud is awfully alarmed
lest The Journal should array
the country against the town,
But Massa Steve can write an
election law with the evident
purpose of keeping the farm
ers out Of politics, and Sammy
Mud says it is good. Verify,
there is one pup that knows
his master.

Knocking B. K. Focht

tFrom Progress, the official maga-
zine of Brotherhood's Relief Fund.-
The Harrisburg Patriot is now
making a miserable effort to crack
Benz. Focht, who is the Republican
nominee for Congress from the 18th
Congressional district at Penna.
We are wondering what kind of
dope the Patriot will try to ram
down the throats of organized
labor, for it is fact that Focht has
a most enviable record in Congress
in regard to his attitude and work
in behalf of labor.
Geo. Rowand, B. of r. T. Legisla-
tive representative for Penna., says
Focht has u splendid labor record
and we believe Rowand's word will
count for more than that of the
Patriot, as George knows.
Ben. Focht had the vision or
thought TO introduce an old age PEN
sion bill i'm Congress, and sooner or
latter this grand country OF ours
will have just such an old age PEN
sion system I'm vogue, not alone be-
cause Ben. 'Focht introduced 1t, but
because a nation which prides itself
in the advancement of humanity
will realize it's utter necessity. and
until we do adopt 1t. we are still in
that class of countries who are Tag
ing in this respect.

FOCH A GREAT STRATEGIST

There is no longer any doubt of
Foch's superiority, both in strategy
and tactics, to the Germanl COM
manders opposed to him. II was
demonstrated most brilliantly when
he anticipated the German assault
on the night of the national fete,
July IA, 1918. He read the purpose
of Ludendorff to strike when all
France was in celebration. The Ger
mans reasoned that the French
would be caught unawares. Foch S
intelligence department had ap-
prised him of the enemy's prepara-
tons for a major movement. He
calculated that the blow would fall
upon the night of the national fete,
! and by capturing prisoners he learn
! ed that ten minutes after midnight
was the time set. Foch's artillery
opened fire first with a terrible bar
rage. The Germans. nevertheless,
came on, to find the first line lightly
held, to find the second line a stone
wall. There was no surprise after all
! except for the Germans. And four
days later Foch launched his coun-
ter offensive, which has been kept
up unintermittently on the whole
front, first here and now there-the
most wonderful battle ever fought
by a great commander, the scale
tremendous, the results prodigious.
To-day the fate of the German army
in the west trembles in the balance.
A superman this Frenchman. if
the term can be applied to any hu-
man being and yet he is not con-
sciously great At heart and in man
ner he is the same man who was
known in the classroom as a teacher
of the art of war not many years
ago. Happily he has never been a
pedant; he has been able to change
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-10-12

his formulas, to adjust himself to
new conditions of warfare. II his
officers have learned a great deal in
the war, so has he. He could now
discard much that he used to teach
at the Ecole de Guerre, where his
pupils, some of them now in high
command, worshiped him. If there
was any danger of Foch's rusting as
"a professor of war, it ceased when
the command of the Thirteenth divi-
sion at Chaumont was given him in
.191d. Promoted to the head of the
Eighth corps, he was later trans
ferred 20 the responsible post at
Nancy, headquarters of the Twen-
tieth corps. There he was at the
outbreak of the war, and his friends
knew that he was destined to play
a leading part in the conflict upon
which the salvation of France de-
pended.
No one knew Foch's value better
than his predecessor in the supreme
command. 1t was Joffre who select
ed Foch to foil the determined effort
of the German high command to get
to the sea in the autumn of 1914.
There began that association with
British Generals, French, Smith
Dorrien, Haig, Byng, Rawlinson,
Allenby, and others, which ripened
into esteem for their efficiency and
faith in their trustworthiness. They
all came to admire Foch, officer and
gentleman and comrade. He never
failed them in emergencies, they
never failed him. They were for him
to a man when the question of the
unified command had to be settled.
They could serve under him, know
ing that he was not only Frances
best but a consummate master of the
art of war.

OUR BOYS IN FRANCE
By Briggs

Captain Bruce Bairnsfather, the
famous English cartoonist who has
seen service in France. says of the
American army:
This great organization of yours
came into the war like fairy god
mother" he said. The moment
when the States came in was q
pretty dark time for us. Russia
was going to pieces; things were
hard; l never had any doubt of the
ultimate victory, but it looked as If
it would take a long, long time.
Then you came. And-well. l feel
pretty enthusiastic about an early
finish. feel more than ever en-
thusiastic since l reached New York.
It's cheered me up trem endouSly!
They are a fine healthy lot, too,
the American soldiers healthy and
cheerful and strong in every way.
And | want to say how well-cared
for they are. Everything that the
army authorities and the Govern
ment back home do for them seems
to be done in the very best way.
They are thoroughly we'll looked
after.
II feel very strongly about the
CneeTIulHeSS VI the AHlSTlCd1S over
there" Captain Bairnsfather added.
II admire it very deeply. I know
what it is like to leave ones home
and friends and go off to fight In a
foreign land. I've had my share OF
war, and I know it's hard. But for
me. and for all of us. it was only
across the Channel; we were always
next door to home. Your men are
5000 miles away, in a thoroughly
strange country. And they are just
as cheerful as the best of us. or
more So"
When Captain Bairnsfather reach
ed New York, a few days ago, he
felt even more strongly than he had
felt in France the suicidal ignor-
ance, as he calls it, of Germany in
allowing such a thing to happen"
as Americas getting into thet war.
He saw in Europe. he explains, that
we had splendid fighters: but when
he reached this country he couldn't
help sensing at once the united and
organized nation behind those fight
ing men in France.
