THE WAY TO WIN.

The character and method of Gen
eral Foch, the new commander-in.
chief of the allied armies in France
are said to be admirably summed
up in this little story.
When Foch was professor oi
strategy in the French War Col.
lege. he used to give formal dinner!
twice a year to members of hi,
staff, and at those dinners he woulC
always find occasion to make this
stereotyped statement of military
strategy:
Find out the enemy's weak point
and deliver your blow there"
Ordinarily the dictum was hearC
in respectful silence. Once youn(
officer yentured to protest; But
suppose, general, the enemy has nc
weak point :"
Then, ,"thundered Foch, max,
one!"
That is precisely what Foch did a
the Marne-made a weak point ant
then drove through it. 1t is what
he did at ArraS and the Somme. Il
is what "the first strategiSt of Eu
rope" as Marshal Joffre calls him
is expected to do in the present gi
fautic battle.

THE ARTILLERY MASTER
PIECE.

That long-range gun OF the Ger
mans achieved its masterpiece when
it sent a shell into a Paris church.
on Good Friday, and killed 81 wo-
men worshipperS and a dozen o5
more of children.
That is just the sort Of thing this
marvellous weapon is good for. II
cannot be expected to possess any
great military efficiency. The shells
are smaller and less effective than
those fired from many other big
German guns. They cannot be fir.
ed with much accuracy, because oi
their long range which makes the
target invisible and subjects the mis-
sle to incalculable air currents
They must be discharged rather
blindly. The only target they car
be sure of hitting is a city, and the
only execution they can be trusted
to accomplish is the massacre Of
civilians.
l. ne Sheu that turned house oi
God into slaughter house repre-.
sented an exceptionally lucky hit
The Germans cannot hope to dc
that we'll very often. But over thai
once what rejoicing there must hav,
beer in the German camp and il
the German cities where, we ar,
told the people are tremendously
proud of their big guns"
So the German army keeps righ
on, bombarding what the Germar
government by some odd peyersior
calls "the fortress of Paris" trust
ing in the kaiser's God for othei
lucky hits from time to time.

MAKING EMPLOYEES EXER-
CISE.

A big automobile company has
started something new in the way
of industrial paternalism- 1t has
established a factory gymnasium,
and requires its executive officers,
superintendentS, managers, heads Of
departments and-others with seden-
tary jobs to take vigorous physical
exercise there for one hour every
day. The.employes are fined if they
falt9o attend On the other hand,
the company pays them for the
time they spend in the gymnasium.
1t is expected that the plan viii be
applied eventually to every class OF
! employees.

call to her every citizen between lS
and 50 years. The present situation
was not foreseen at either London,
Paris or Washington, and therefore
it was at first agreed that during the
first year America should chiefly de-
vote herself to sending food and
supplies to her allies. This plan was
somewhat nodded later by the call
from France, but our preparations
have not been such as to meet the
present urgent demand for troops in
vast numbers.
The next few months may witness
a more rapid drafting process and
the building of new cantonments as
we'll as the speeding up of ship pro-
duction. Larger plans and greater
expedition will be needed if the sug-
gested numbers are to be sent to
France within year. The estimate
of three million men within that
time is based on remarkable prog
ress in shipping American troops
abroad that has been made during
the past four weeks. What is be
ing done already is away beyond the
first plans and expectations, but a
far greater effort is now demanded
with view to rush the needed man
power to the front. In these anx-
iouS days we have at least the en-
couraging reflection that the Ger.
mans can not stand their present
sacrifice OF men indefinitely and that
we and our allies have by far the
greatest ultimate resources in man
power.

into the background.
1t is now well understood that
President Wilson intends TO keep
his hands off congressional politics,
and Democratic candidates who
have counted on getting a letter
from him urging their reelection
must hoe their own rows. The pres
ident has informed leaders in con-
gress that where two Democrats OF
equal loyalty and integrity are in a
race he will not take sides, even
though one of the candidates may
be member of congress who has
supported administration measures.
Furthermore, it is said, the president
will be discreet in beStowing in-
dorsements on Democrats who may
be opposed by loyal Republicans in
the general elections. In short, the
president wants war congress
rather than a Democratic or a Re
publican congress.

Slight Automobile
Wreck Tuesday

What might have resulted in a very
serious automobile wrech was mar
rowly averted at the Depot and Irish
street crossing about o'clock Tues
day afternoon. Three cars became
mixed up in the ENHANCEMENT, but
fortunately no one was hurt and nei-
ther car was damaged to any great
extent. This crossing is one of the
most dangerous in the city. The new
Touring mill on one corner and the
Auditorium on the other, obstructs
all view when going west on Depot
street 1t is therefore very important
that measures be adopted at once
regulating the speed of cars at this
point in the city until some protec-
ton can be afforded the general pub
lie.

LOCAL RAIDS
USUAL RIOTING
BY J. w. T. MASON.
-ritten for The United Press J

written for The United Press.)
New York, April 3.-The west
front has begun to return to the con-
ditiol of local raids and patrol en-
counters that marks the usual routine
of trench warfare
Only toward Amiens is there any
real activity left in Won Hindenburg's
forces. Even here, there is a per-
ceptible decrease in the German eff
fort which suggests General Foch's
measures of defense are becoming
effective. The icreased artillery aez
tivity east of Arras suggests the pos
sibility of a new German advance
from that direction but it is far more
likely that Won Hindenburg is now
waiting for General Foch's next
move.
1t would be bad strategy for Won
Hindenburg to engage in a major eff
fort to take Arras, where the British
strength is at its maximum, while
Gen. Foch is preparing his counter
measures in a new sector. Won Hin
denburg's cue is to wait on the de-
fensive while Feneral Foch's plans re-
main unrevealed.
The transfer of American troops
from the Alsace-Lorraine front to
western France, is an added reason
why Won Hindenburg will probably
cause his army to dig itself in and
await developments. The Ameri-
can reinforcements added to the new
French and British reserves should
give General Foch decided numeri-
cal superiority over the Germans.
With this increased force at his COM
.nAnd any serious error in tactics
by the Germans can be advantageous
ly seized by Foch and perhaps extend
ed into a grave German defeat. Rath-
err than risk such an outcome, Won
Hindenburg may well prefer to sit
in the dark.
1t appears, therefore, that for the
present, a defensive policy will be-
come operative along the German
front, except perhaps east of Amiens
The temptation to risk a few more
divisions to capture this important
center of communication may cause
Won Hindenburg to continue the
slaughter Of his army there for d
while longer. But, elsewhere, the
German infantry will probably be
limited to raiding and patrol work for
the time being.

MEANING OF THE TERMS
"BOCHE" AND "HUN"

This is the question scores Of per-
sons have asked newspaper Offices,
the public libraries and other places
suspected Of knowing such things.
English and French dictionaries and
encyclopedias fail to reveal the In
formation. But now comes Jules
Maurice Pimienta, a Frenchman,
former captain in the French army
and teacher in the French language
at university. Here's the defini-
ton Pimienta gives:
"The word Boche was coined BY
the French soldiers, and cannot be
found in any of the French texts.
We have always, referred to the Ger
manassas Boches. The term means
tricksters, cut-throats, thieves, cow
ardly and treacherous fighters, rob-
bers. The British call the Germans
Huns because they are cruel and wan
tonly destructive in the conduct Of
the war. The French call the Ger
mans as Boches. The term means
undetermined, cut-throats. The French
have also always called the Germans
tete care, which means square-heads
or bloek-heads."
Boche is pronounced as though it
were spelled b-o-u-s-h.-Toledo Blade.
