Our General.

That warm spot which American hearts have al
ways felt for France has grown with every week Of
the war. 1t was undoubtedly the prime cause OF
our welcome acceptance of unity of command under
French leadership. But there was also an fnteuec-
tual sympathy, think. with the French point Of
view, which helped greatly. We have much of the
English practically in our makeup We have not
less liking for the clear ratfonalism of the French
mind.
So it is that we have swiftly to feel not only
that Marshal Foch is great general but that he is
even more-Our general. We have heard no faintest
word of national jealousy or envy from any Ameri-
can. soldier or civilian. Our in France are as
glad and proud 10 fight under the great marshal
as We are glad to have them. Not only his success
beyond all expectations. is responsible for this
There is a clearness of line swiftness of stroke
in the workings Of the Foch genius that appeals
strongly to the American mind Our national way
is different; it lacks the finish and (shal we saw
even in war; beauty of the French process But
it has something of the bigness and sweep and
devotion TO the idea against the particular fact
By all means let America confer her citizenship
upon General Foch, as Hamilton Holt has happily
suggested. He is by right Of the affection and
admiration in hearts He is ours by right of the

The Cost of Living in Germany.

There have been SO many and such conflicting
stories regarding food prices in Germany circulated
it is interesting something that has ev-
cry appearance Of being authentic In very recent
number of the Berlin Tageblatt an interview appears
with the chairman of the Society of Propretors of
Summer Restaurants along the river and the present
<lay hardships and living conditions are thus mar
rated:
After mentioning that the wages of servant girls
had risen from about 20 marks month to so or 70
marks, while receipts had fallen to as low as one
fifth of those of pre-war days, he asks how res
taurant keep going. He answers that it is pos
sibe only by engaging in what is called "Schleich-
handel" or what we would call underground trade
which has become well nigh universal But
this seems dubious to the chairman of the res
tauranteurs, in view of the high prices which must
be paid in such trade and here is a little list which
he gives:
Butter-20 to % marks pound equals IS plus
Meat-12 to II marks pound equals So plus
Picked pork-16 marks a pound equals 81
Picked beef-18 marks pound, equals $3.50
Eggs-1 mark each-25 cents
An ordinary four pound chicken costs s12
Of course these are prices paid largely by the
"nouveaux riches" who have made fortunes small
and large out of every kind of "profiteering" RI+
even the official prices are bad enough and there is
very little doing at the government price 1t is
freely charged in the newspapers that clandestine
dealings the rule and that if one wishes to
get really decent food he must pay through the
nose" Along with this, according to the German
papers, is regular scheme of petty bribery SO that
practically for every comfort of life the Berliner-
and, we may imagine, the rest of the Germans
must toll to the officials Of the endless bureaus
Where before German official life was, by COMPARE
son, Clean it seems now given over to an unre-
strained reign Of corruption Everybody must get
some way, if he can
