LONDON, October 19.-The effect of
the American labor delegation headed
by President Samuel Gompers upon
the attitude Of British labor toward
the war is shown by the comments
Of leaders Of the small pacifist ele-
ment upon the proceedings of the re-
cent interallied labor and socialist
conference.
The Labor Leader, organ Of the in
dependent labor party. which must
not be confused with the labor party,
states: 'It has made impossible an
early meeting of the international
that is to say. an international gath
ering which would include repre-
sentatives Of enemy countries-and
has strengthened the positions Of the
allied governments and given them
the fullest encouragement to con-
tinue the military prosecution Of the
war"
Stirs Pacifist Leaders.
The pacifist leaders are exceedingly
angry with Gompers on account Of
the influence he exerted upon the
British trade union representatives.
There is no doubt that his plain state
ment of the issues involved in the
struggle and the expression he gave
to the determination of American
democracy to continue the war to vic
tory rallied the anti-defeatist sections
at the conference. who, owing to the
WEAKNESS induced by four yeaFe Of

Brief Sketch Of Life.

Marshal Foch's career, in brief out
lines. is as follows. He was born Au-
gust 4, 1851, at Tarbes in the Pyre-
nees. His boyhood came during the
short and disastrous attempt of Louis
Napoleon to rival the military achieve
ments of his famous uncle. The lad
was just too young to participate as
soldier in the campaigns which ended
so sorrily with Metz and Sedan, but
these blows made the deepest impress
sion on him just at the time his mill
tary career was beginning.
His preliminary education was at
Saint Etienne. and at Metz. At Saint
Etienne he formed those rigidly re-
Iieious habits that are SO much
part of his character, as they have
been of many other famous fighters.
He entered the Eco1e Polytechnique,
THE famous military school, in 1871.

Z Y YHO is Foch?

w yHo is Foch?
M Five years ago scarcely
v Y single American had ever
heard Of him. Today every
soldier the United States has been
able to raise, equip. train and send
to war-nearly 100000 in all, including
marines-is fighting under him. what
he says goes with French, British,
Americans, Italians, Belgians and Por-
tuguese, for he is the supreme COM
mander of the allies in the western
theater Of war.
Another strange thing is that five
years ago he was little known in France
outside Of professional army circles. The
great war broke, and Papa" Joffre be-
came the French national idol. He re-
pulsed the Huns at the Marine in Sep
TENDER, 1914, and along about that time
one began to hear: 1Gen. Foch, who
ever he is, is Joffre's right-hand man
and is the really great strategist among
French military leaders. A lot Of the
credit. for the stand at the Marine goes
to him.
Since then his fame has grown stead

word all over the civilized world. He is
not myth. No aura of mystery sur
rounds him. He is not a Second Ma
poleon," for there never can be another
Napoleon. He is in no sense of the
word a 'superman." He is a highly
elderly professional soldier who has
made the theory and practice Of war
his lifework, who had great natural
aptitude to begin with and who has
added thereto all that painstakng labor
could accomplish.
Story Shows His Character.
A story current in. French army
circles about Marshal Foch is as good
a summary of the personality. train
ing and convictions of the man as
would be volumes of analysis Here
it is:
Foch placed a cavalry corps at a
threatened point along a river. At
the close Of the days fighting head
quarters was called on the field tele-
phone by the corps commander, who
informed the marshal (then generaD
that he had Withdrawn, inasmuch as
"the Germans had been heavily re-
inforced."
Did you throw the bulk Of your
pleasantly, and was told that such
had not been the case.
"You will Immediately reoccupy the
banks" came over the wire. you
will line them with machine guns
and artillery; you will hold the en-
envy there tomorrow, and when all
your guns have been destroyed or
captured. then you will report to head
quarters for futher Instructions"
Another succinct but adequate ex-
position of the man is contained in
the simple fact that during the whole
course of his schooling he showed a
marked aptitude for geometry, for
logic and for Napoleonic history.
Whether he has 'cashed in" on this
aptitude may well be confidently
asked of the various nationaliues
fighting under his supreme command,
Of his enemies and. in fact. of the
whole world.

TRATION AT WASHINGTON is
= KEEPING CLOSE ACCOUNT ON
FOOD DEALS IN AMERICUS.

The heavy hand of the law, as ap-
piled by the food administration. has
been displayed in Americas to some
extent.
Cne CT the local brokers or commits
sion merchants has been asked by the
national food administration to give a
full and complete account of his De-
cember dealings, and to show why his
license should not be revoked and
himself prosecuted.
1t is charged that his own monthly
report shows that he charged an ex-
cess profit in the nature of double
commissions on the sale of sugar.
Rule three, page twelve, of the rules
and regulations governing the handl-
ing of food commodities, reads:
''The Iicensee shall not charge or
receive for himself, on the sale of
any food commodities, both COM
mission or brokerage, and an over
charge or profit"
This particular broker is not be-
lieved to have had any idea of violat-
ing the law at all, as he was one of
the first following the appointment Of
the Sumter county food administrator,
to seek to learn the law and comply
with it. He has made detailed
statement, showing all of his transac-
tions and explaining his position. The
double profit that he reaped was small
and incidental, and the price he OBJ
tanned for the sugar was that which
the government allowed. For the rea-
son that he confidently expects to ac-
quit himself of any wrong-doing, The
Times-R Recorder withholds his name.

Last night there was fighting
throughout the American sector, and
