Special Cable Despatch to tbs SuS.
Copyright. 1915; all rights reseyr.d.

LONDON, March 30.--There has been
a distinct change recently In the British
attitude toward the appointment of a
generalissimo in command OF the allied
armies In France. and the selection of
Gen. Ferdinand Foch, recognized here
as the ablest strategist on the Allies
side and probably the most brilliant
soldier in France. has not caused the
shock which would have followed even
a month ago. The idea that the gen.
eralissimo should be a Frenchman has
been growing here for some time.
At the time Of the interaIl.ed confer
ence in PariA when the Versailles Su-
preme War Council first came into being.
Il Is understood, an agreement was
reached that England would yield to the
desire OF the Allies in the matter OF
unity of command Since then circum-
stances have Influenced sentiment
strongly in its favor. From the begin
ming Of the present battle the French
newspapers have agitated for the ap-
pointment Of a generalissmo. with little
or no opposition manifesting itself
Prominent statesmen have said in the
last few days that French generals al
ways are capable OF producing a vic
torious plan Of campaign at critical

Field Marshal Haig and Gen Foch are
working In the closest harmony and
understanding In the present crisis. The

Ever since the hrst days OF the pres
ent battle the French press has revived
arguments for the appointment OF g
generalissimo. The lOgic Of this de
