I'VE Have Just Begun;
We Shall Continue,
Declares Marshal Foch
by The Associated Pre.s

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
FRANCE, Aug. 23.-"Everything is
going we'll. We have begun our &C
ton, and we shall continue" said
Marshal Foch to war correspondents
who were received by him in an old
chateau to-day.
Advancing to meet his visitors, witt,
simple cordiality, he said: 81 am glad
to see you, but I do not know Just
what | can say to you, other than
that everything is going we'll. We
nave begun our action, and we shall
continue"
For the future" he said, "realities
are far better than any sort of
promise. 1t is useless to make prom
lses that may give rise to exaggerat-
ed hopes. Nothing but realities
count"
Reminded Of a previous occasion
when he said that the German wave
had been broken, Marshal Foch re-
piled: "Well, now it is retiring, see
for yourselves"
One correspondent having referred
to the French soldiers, the marshal
said
"You may say anything you like
about them. Whatever you say will
never be too much. They are going
on without respite, without relief and
without rest. We can ask anything Of
them; they are always ready to 90
on
"You may tell the American people
that their soldiers are admirable"
said Marshal Foch to the correspond
ent of The Associated Press. "They
ask nothing better than to go to their
death. They can be reproached only
with rushing ahead too fast-it is
necessary to hold them back
Referring to the British troops,
Marshal Foch said: "You see they are
fighting we'll just now in this burn
ing heat. Their ardor is unfailing.
They ask nothing better than to
march ahead"

WITH THE AMERICAN DE-
STROYER FLOTILLA IN THE
BAY OF BISCAY, Aug. 23.-With-
in the last few days Germany has
made sensational attempt to block
ade one of the French ports at which
American troops enter. 1t was one
of her most daring submarine cx-
, ploits, but it has failed because of
the American. navy. Some of her
newest and biggest U-boats, COM
manded by her most courageous and
resourceful and yet foolhardy Off
GERS, were consigned by the Amer-
can destroyer f1otilla to the bottom
of the sea near the French coast.
Unlike recent "Fat Bertha" activ-
tiles, the blockade was prepared for
more than window dressing" for
the discouraged populace. 1t was
counter attack for the great land
disasters. 1t was the last hope to
prevent American troops from arriv-
ing in France.
Had it succeeded it would have
been q real blow below the belt. Its
purpose was to destroy an entire
convoy of American troopships near
the entrance to the French port. In
addition to taking the toll of lives,
it was designed to block Che harbor
and thus square accounts for what
the British navy accomplished at
Zeebrugge and Ostend.
The boats assigned to the task did
not lurk far out, seizing the rare
chance for a thrust in the dark, but
they crept inland to point where it
was believed conveys must pass.
Then, with torpedoes and mines, they
waited to sink every big ship before
the destroyer escort had time TO act.
1t was a great gamble for great
stakes, worth playing for, though
the submarine officers knew they
would be lost even ir winning it. The
biggest ships of the convoy which
were marked for destruction be-
longed to Germany in 1914.
The silent navy that outwitted the
submarines and then destroyed them
considers the battle only as an cpl
sode in a days work, and would
probably not have mentioned it. By
chance l was aboard one of the de-
stroyers in the escort, and now have
permission to give certain details.
German submarine commanders
know much about sea routes. cur
rents, drifts, rocks and channels.
Their ingenuity in map making has
applied to the sea as we'll as to land,
