Foch's Name Not Teutonic;
Almost Rhymes With "Hush''

Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived regarding the correct pronuncla-
ton of the name Of the new generals
simO Of the allied armies.
On paper Foch seems Teutonic, says
the Chicago Herald, and suggests
throaty gutturals of the kind that are
no longer popular In the civilized
world. But the name Is pronounced
as If it were spelled Fosh, with short
co." like "uh," and almost rhymes with
"hush." This is on the authority of
LIE Courier des Etats Unis, a French
daily newspaper published in New
York.
General Foch is a Basque from the
Pyrenees, not an Alsatian. All Basque
names terminating in "ch" have the
soft Ssh" sound instead Of the Ger
manic cultural.
