title. Joffre could not name the general
who had delivered the decisive thrust Count
OF La Fere Champenoise or Duke or St.
Gond. He could not even make him a mar
shall of France, since he was not himself
marshal, but he could and did name Foch
the first strategist of Europe and after
nearly four years this remains the highest
distinction of the soldier who has now been
summoned to command the Allied armies in
a new Battle of the Nations and in situa-
tion still threatening a supreme disaster.
Physically Foch is little man. his
inches are about those of Napoleon's, and
ne has Grants fondness for the cigar. Like
Joffre Southerner, he has a frankness of
speech which his old commander has never
displayed. Unlike Petain, his words are
rarely caustic and he has made friends
among all his allies. An old man, close to
seventy, yet younger than Clemenceau. he
was still handsome when the war began.
but the strain has marked his face and on1v
ms eyes reveal an unshaken spirit.
Gust before the war visitor asked h;a
view OF the old quarrel between the offen-
sive and the defensive. War he respond
ed, Is not question Of one system or an
other, 1t IL matter of common sense And
at the Marne he attacked incessantly. while
at the User he stood firm against all at
tack. To-day. at the Somme, he is waiting
again, But some day he will strike. and
perhaps 1t Will be the last blow Of the war,
as his was the last blow at the Marne"

tallsman at the expense of other talismans.
Some find it in theology; some in art, in
human affection; in the anodyne Of con-
slant work; in that permanent exercise of
the lnquiring intellect which is commonly
called the search for truth; some find it
in carefully cultivated illusions of one sort
or another, in passionate faith and undyine
pugnacities; some, l believe, find substi-
tute by rejoicing in their prison, and living
furiously, for good or i'll, in the actual mo-
ment

treasuring up the best out of the past, so
that III present that may be angry or sor-
did he can call back memories of calm or
of high passion, in a present that requires
resignation or courage he can call back the
spirit with which brave men long ago faced
the same evils. He draws out of the past
high thoughts and great emotions; he also
draws the strength that comes from COM
munion or brotherhood.
"And the student, as he realizes it, feels
himself one Of a long line of torch bearers.

The Religion of a Man
of Letters
Century

Century
THE text of a presidential address to
the Classical Association, by Gil
bert Murray, appears in the June "Cen.
tury." This is the pith Of the argument:
Man is imprisoned in the external pres
ent, and what wa call mans religion Is to
great extent the thing that offers him
secret and permanent means of escape from
that prison. breaking Of the prison walls.
Which leaves him standing. of course, still
in the present, but in present 80 enlarged
and enfranchised that it is become not
prison, but a free world. Religion, even In
the narrowest sense, is always seeking for
Soteria. for escape, for some salvation from,
the terror to come or deliverance from the
body of this death.
And men find it, of course, in a thousand
ways. with different degrees of ease and of
certainty. I am not wishing to praise mr.

This theory of defence against raids is
based on tile fact that the enemy can con-
centrate his men in his front lines for
sudden over the top-then lay down
heavy barrage. When the attacking troops
come over they strike the first line with
their maximum impact. They are likely to
overwhelm any ordinary defence, and thus
1T is a waste of men to try to defend the
first line obstinately. But the human body
gets tired, and when the machine guns and
rifles of the second line have had their inn
ings at the attackers, the Boches are begin
ming to slow up from natural exhaustion.
On counter attack, then, the third line.

Of the Kaiser toward public opinion, and
especially the press:

Of the Kaiser toward public opinion, and
especially the press:
Personally, the Kaiser sees value in
public opinion as an Independent personal
state of mind. The proper substitute for 1t
is imperial instruction followed by strict
obedience. In private conversation, and
even in public addresses, he does not hesi-
tate to express his bitter antipathy to the
whole pestilent tribe of editors and journal
lists. Even those who are under government
influence and in government pay hardly
command his consideration. They are re-
garded as mere hirelings, and are not in
vited to court. Armed with power to sup
press all hostile publications. power fre-
quently exercised upon such periodicals as
Hardens Die Zukunft,' the Social-Dsmo-
cratic 'vorwarts,' and others far less radi-
cal-the Kaiser's government takes pains to
see that his own views are authoritatively
expressed in officially dictated articles
furnished to the 'Norddeutsche Allgemeine
Zeitung' and other inspired publications,
which sometimes have lively experience in
their endeavors to ineulcate a safe politi-
cal orthodoxy and to explain such uneuard-
ed conduct and expressions of his majesty
as the bureaucracy finds 1t expedient in the
Kaiser's own interest to interpret or d;s.

uCIAN SWIFT KIRKLAND,
StaH correspondent for "Leslie's
~ Weekly" has an interesting ar
ticle in this weeks issue. He be-
gins:
III the airplanes are the eyes OF our
army and Hivvers are its feet, then the
telephone wires must be the nervous sys-
tenn. Sensations felt at the extremities are
recorded instantly miles away at the brain.
"Just before dropped in at the post
command Of the --- battery the telephone
jingled from French neighbors down the
line. We've caught couple Of Boche
spies came the message; they were
dressed up in American uniforms. One of
US had a suspicion and suddenly sprang q
German sentence which one Of the Boches
answered in German before he stopped to
think Then we examined their papers and
they couldn't give any account Of them
selves.
What are you going to do with them p
asked the listening officer.
"'We're motifs already done.'"
Later he writes:
- Il
The Americans are using what is some
times known a. the new French system of
defence, and sometimes as the new German
system. At the beginning Of the war the
front trenches we're held very thick espe-
ciaily by the British. Now the scheme is
to have only handful OF men in the first
line, one man to d hundred feet, perhaps;
for the second line there are many more
men and many more machine guns; for the
third line men are much heavier massed

AUTHORITIES BELIEVE THAT QUARANTINE WILL
 SOON BE LIFTED HERE

DOUGLAS, Nov 25.-The influ- enza and pneumonia situation on the Island looks better today than it has since the beginning of the quarantine regulations, and the health authorities believe that with in few days all danger of the cpl demic will have been over.
 The families of Leninen and flag erup. Russian FinnA were quaran- tined during the past 1.-two days, but all the cases are mild forms and those who have been i'll from the disease are reported to be improv ing rapidly.
 The case of William Fleek was the worst to be recorded and for several days Dr. Sergeant could not tell what the turning point would be. The glad news came yesterday, however that the crisis had been passed and the patient is now on the road to recovery. With the careful attention and nursing he has re- ceived at the St. Ann hospital, it is believed that he can rejoin his happy family within a few days.
 "Scotty' Bruce, who was taken to the hospital last week, is so much recovered that he. will be able to leave the institution today or to- morrow.

Arthur Olson was bitten by the dog, but not seriously. The marshal reported some of the native dog owners at first up in arms oyer the shooting of the animals, but they learned that all useless CUTS
