burg housewives will be sold at a
high figure, officials say, and it is es-
timated that many children can be
supported with the money realized.
Commenting upon the campaign
for saving waste, a worker said to-
day:
mo better movement than the
waste saving campaign could have
been launched to enlist all who are
interested in united efforts for the
common welfare. BY this method
people come to realize what can be
accomplished by intelligent war on
waste.
"At the present time the country
Is suffering FROM an unprecedented
shortage of manufacturing ma
terlats. There is also an alarming
falling off in contributions to char

Foch's Appointment
Spur For New Tales
of French General

London.-The appointment OF GEN
eral Foch as generalissimo of the AL
lied forces has brought out a new
crop of stories about him. Some of
the best are related by NJ. Meunier-
Surcouf, Deputy from Saint Brieuc.
who served for twenty months on
Foch's staff at the beginning OF the
war.
October 80, 1914" SAYS M. Meun-
ier-Surcouf. General Foch learned
that the English cavalry had been
attacked by superior forces and had
had to give considerable ground to
the south of Ypres. The two points
of support were lost. the line had
been broken and the flank of GEN
eral Dubois was in danger. General
Foch hurried to St. Omer, arriving
at o'clock in the morning.
Marshal French was awakened.
Marshal. your line is broken
said General Foch.
"'Yes, the marshal replied.
Have you any reserves?'

Tame them and-Forward!
Marshal French was greatly
moved. He shook hands warmly
with General Foch, saying, 1T is
fine thing you have done for me- At
2 o'clock the orders were given, the
gap was stopped and we were ad-
vancing.
Another time! It was to the
north of Ypres and the English had
been forced back. A division of the
First Corps was almost annihilated.

General Foch hurried again to

Foch begged Marshal French to for

fused. He could do no more, he
said; his troops were worn out.

"As soon as the orders were is

Another of the anecdotes of M.
Meunier- Surcouf relates to General
Foch's method of choosing the mem
bers of his staff. 1t seems that at
the beginning of the war the colonel
of an infantry regiment called for
sergeant to volunteer for an ex-
tremely perilous mission" Several
sergeants stepped from the ranks
and the colonel. picking one, said.

Berlin, Friday, Dec. 27-(By the Associated Press) - While the gov government continues to deny the ex- istence' of a crisis, developments ap- pear to be rapidly approaching the point where the Ebert-Haase cabinet no longer will be able to assert it's authority. The Berlin newspapers reflect the apprehension prevailing all circles.

DARING HOLDUP
 ON HALLETT ST.

While walking along Hallett street last night at 10 o'clock Henry Mar tona of 25S Willard street was held up and robbed by two young men of $350.
 The police believe that the men who held up Martona are the same ones who earlier in the evening held up and robbed Hyman Ginsberg in his store at Columbia and Gregory streets, and obtained $10O.
 Martona told the police that both of the holdups were young men, both he should think under 20 years. He describes the highwaymen as being about five feet four inches tall each, and states that both were dressed in dark clothes, and wore caps.
 He was walking along the street and the first he knew of the holdups was when one of them damned a re- volver into his back and ordered him to hold up his hands. He said that the revolver was of large ca1fbre.

London, Dec. 2S.---This is Presi- dents day in the city of London. The two first chapters of President Will sons English visit have been devoted to meetings and functions with royal and political personages of the gov ernment circle. The scene shifts to- day to the sombre old precincts of the Guild Hall and the Mansion House, set in the midst of the financial and commercial precincts which are the heart of Britain's strength.
 In the Guild Hall, an address of welcome was presented to the Presi- dent on behalf of the city in the presence of @ company of more than a thousand representatives of the government and of finance and of commerce. Afterwards the P,esident was entertained at luncheon kby the lord mayor and the corporation of the city---a function which was attended by three. hundred guests, with the business element predominating.
 Of American presidents, Grant and Roosevelt, after their respective ad- ministrartions have received honors at the Guild Hall, while the eloquence of a long line of American diplomats ---such men as John Hay, Thomas W. Bayard, Joseph H. Choate, Whitelaw Reid and the late Ambassador Page, has been heard in the Mansion House. A number of European rulers and statesmen have been entertained in both places.
 Today's event in the city had a dou- ble interest through the appearance there of the first American president to come during the term of his office and a general belief that he would make pronouncement of political and international importance.
 While the President this morning received addresses from deputations representing a number of societies and church organizations at the American embassy, khaki-clad troops
 marched toward the city and distri-
 buted themselves along the SroIse while the gilded coaches of city fuuc- l tionaries brought the aldermen and
