FRUITS OF FocH,. STRATEGY

Kansas City Star: Swiftly Marshal
Foch develops the great continuous
offensive that is turning the Germans
out of France or toward inevitable de-
struction or capture. Without pause,
steadily, fatefully, the irresistible mil
itary machine he has constructed and
which obeys his touch like some ami
mate thing strikes, now here, now
there, always at the enemy's weak
point or at some place beyond rcat Il
of reinforcements. .,.. ..~
We have seen the progress going
on now for three months and wi, i IA
varying results. The enemy, inevi
tably outnumbered at the point of at
tack but unable to strengthen his as
sailed front because the Foch tactics
have pinned his reserves down in
each sector, is forced to give ground,
yield prisoners and seek to get his
main forces away to new defensive
positions. Thus his whole line has
been broken, sector by sector, and
each front compelled to reform, or to
attempt reformation, in conformity
with the general defensive plan,
which now, as all the world can see,
involves retreat out of France. Lud-
endorff is struggling desperately to
save his armies, to avoid the jaws
opened to crush them and to reach
a position where he can recOnstitute
them into some semblance of de-
fensive organization. To do this he
must have breathing time. He must
keep his armies far enough ahead of
the pursuit to have something more
than wholly discouraged mass. when
he attempts to stop, as otherwise he
will find himself nothing but the
shepherd of flock of refugees.
Foch is giving him no such breath
ing time. He is keeping the whole
enemy line oscillating from the Ar
gonne to the sea. His bag of prison
ers, the best barometer of a COM
mander's success, has grown to enor-
nous proportions, far exceeding any
thing the German has been able to
show in his most successful campaign
Ludendorff's sweep into the Venetian
plain is believed to have brought him
100000 prisoners from Cadorna's ar
my. His break through the British
line in his supreme offensive netted
him 10000 prisoners from Gaugh's
fifth army. But Foch's capture since
he took the initiative in July prob
ably have been not fewer than $780,
900, which figure Y is exclusive, of
course, of the captures on all other
fronts. The enemy's forces that are
not killed or captured are driven,
herded we may say, as cattle are
rounded up and herded where their
drivers want them to go. Foch knows
where that point is, and the enemy,
in the condition to which he has been
reduced by the naarshal's strategy,
has little power left him to do other
wise than go there. Whether he is
driven there toa Sedan or is whitfield
away by captures on the road is all
one. 1t is the enemy's armies that
are Foch's Objectiyes and at the rate
they are falling into his bag the ques-
ton of an armistice. to allow the enc
my to withdraw is rapidly becoming

INFLUENZA PRECAUTIONS.

The Spanish influence, so called,
health officers believe is similar to
the epidemic which swept the coun-
try during the winter of 1889 and
1890, Physicians in records of medi-
cine can trace it back to very early
date. There seems to be no absolute
preventive of the malady, which is
now epidemic over most of the Unit
ed States. However, there are pre-
cautions which should be taken and
in line with this are the closing re-
strictions. The following advice has
been given to the public, which we
believe should be carefully observed:
among the precautionary steps be
sure to keep the bowels open and the
nasal and throat passages clean. The
disease is caused by a bacillus which
lodges in the mucous membrane. 1t
is carried on the tiny globules of
moisture resulting from coughing and
sneezing. If every one could wear a

some trip and sure have enjoyed it
so far, and have seen lots of country,
and if we do get over there won't there
be lots to see? don't suppose we
will get to see any service as 1t takes
from four to six months to get into
shape, so we will get there just in time
for the big Dutch lunch" in Berlin.
We have all wooden clothing now so
we can stand lots of cold weather.
They also issued us two more towels,
tooth brush, comb and Gillette

be hard to beat. We have fine cap
