He Has Our Confidence.
From the Milwaukee Journal.

From the Milwaukee Journal.
An Italian boy loaded down with II
heavy bag of supplies was climbing Il
steep path on his way to the Italian front.
The path was SO steep that no horse or
automobile could make it. What there
was to be carried had to be carried on the
backs OF men and boys. The young Italian
.was very tired. The load was too heavy
for him. But he kept plugging ahead.
Presently. he heard footsteps. 4. brisk old
man dressed in the blue of France came
up beside him..
Pretty heavy load for you. SON" said
the old Frenchman. speaking Italian.
Out, M'sieu, agreed the son of Italy,
speaking French to be courteous.
Let me give you a hand" said the
old French soldier. and he seized the
heavy bag and threw it over his own
shoulders.
And thus they climbed, the old man of
France and the young man of Italy. Fin
ally the.' topped to rest and. while they
were resting. some Italian general staff
officers appeared-one OF them being of
the kings personal staff. OF course the
two soldiers by the roadside came to their
feet to salute the high officers. The
italian officers stopped. The one who
belonged to the kings personal staff
calculated one word: 'Foch!"
The humble French soldier was indeed
no other than the present generalissimo OF
the allied armies. He had been caught
acting like a human being-which would
be a strange thing in a German officer,
but carries no stigma in the allied armies.
General Foch did not forget that he is
lie patron" the big boss. He saluted the
Italian high officers stiffly. threw the
bag on his shoulders again. and with the
Italian boy beside him protesting volubly.
started up the path again.
General Foch today has charge of all

500 bond OF the second 4 per cen issue should bring in the market
$4S35. Holders of $50 bonds or bonds of any other denominations
