General Foch Once
Refused to Become
Subject of Kaiser

Gen. Ferdinand Foch is of Basque
origin. He was born at Harbee IN
1851, but was raised at Methe. Rath-
er than become German by annex
alton of Lorraine, Foch preferred to
return to France and help to prepare
France for the struggle with Ger
many which he believed ultimately
would take place.
He entered the polytechnic school

rank that was not considered as jus
tifying hopes of great future. He
never dazzled by his brilliance, but
he showed that wonders could be &C
complished by application. He never
ceased study except to teach.
Foch began by mastering the STRAIT
egy of the war of 1870 in its min
utest details. knowing the mentality
of the Germans, he counted upon
their repeating in future the maneu-
yers that had succeeded. He also ex-
pected them to make some of the old
mistakes. In his teachings at the SUI

ings he held always to the idea OF an
inevitable aggression by Germany

ing no responsibility, preserving the
equilibrium Of his mind and the
force of his intelligence under for
midable difficulties and exercising
without hesitation the most redoubt-
able rights over his subordinates.
Service Rendered Valuable.
Foch foresaw Joffre as clearly as
he foresaw the war Of 1914 arising
from the same motives as the war OF
1870 and developing with the same
objective-Paris. He thought he
saw quite as clearly, and It would be
difficult to estimate the value of the
service he rendered to France by
communicating his confidence. His

Hundreds of Ne,r
England Girls to
Help Win the War

Boston, April Hundreds OF
New England college girls, eager to
help Uncle Sam win the war, are
organizing agricultural units to aid
in cultivating and harvesting the
record crops that are planned for
this section of the country this year.
The movement is in charge OF the
farm association in cooperation with
the state board of agriculture.
At Wellesley College squads of
young women, twenty to a squad,
will see through the crops on an ad-
jacept farm from planting to har-
vesting time. Miss Catherine Hughes,
daughter of Charles e. Hughes, re-
publican candidate for president in
the last national election, is a mem

Wellesley girls will till comprises

teers for farm service work a num-
Der of young women will be selected
to maintain one of the smaller
buildings on the college grounds
where they and the tillers of the
soil will live during the summer
Smith College has organized a
large unit, under the direction of
Miss Josephine A. Clarke, head Ii
brarian. Fifty undergraduates and
alumae of the last three classes will
make up the unit. 1t will be named
after the 2"Hill Top" Miss Clarke's
fifty-acre place at Chesterfield,
where the crops will be raised.
Radcliffe College too will have a
farm unit. A committee on student
volunteers, of which Miss Priscilla
Ring is chairman, is working out or
ganization plans. These include the
leasing of a nearby farm. In prepar-
alton for the summers work many
of the Radcliffe students are taking
a free course on vegetable raising.
Scores Of young women students
in other New England institutions of
learning are making ready to lead
the advance guard of women back
to the farms, many Of them to take
the places of men called to the col
ors. All these prospective girl-farm-

Next afternoon he came back to the

There were twb muffled explo-

Never mind. you must get in re-

baby into the well twice, but it had

to the blockade of ice. The villagers
suddenly found water pouring into the
streets and into the houses. The men
had all they could do to rescue their
women, children and old folk. getting
them on to the roofs of the houses.
There. on the roofs, In bitter cold,
they lived and slept for three days

they have got back into the houses

to the floods. One hundred and eighty
villages are affected but it is only a
small number that have suffered from
this last calamity of ice. About forty

Moslem national organization.
This great rarity. which is beyond
all price, was rescued at the storm
ing of Samarkand and was handed
over to the care of the library by the
first Turkestan Governor general,
Kaufman. in the year 1869. The
Koran is written in the Arabian Ian
guage in so-called cutie characters,
without periods and commas. The
parchment manuscript was kept in
the Samarkind mosque Chodje-
Achrara.
According to a legend current
among Musselmen. the Koran was
written by Mahomet's brother-in
law. The brother-in-law, Osman, at
forwards was killed in his palace by
the insursent populale as he was
reading the Koran and to this day
traces like dscolorel hoodstains
RAY be seen on the book The Koran
is estimated to be 1900 years old.
Experts of eastern SCRIPT look upon
the Koran as one of tho treasures VI
the once famous library collected
in Samarkand by the victorious
Tamerlane.
In Petrograd the Koran has been
the object of many pilgrimages.
From all parts of the Moslem world
the faithful come to worship it. The
public library guarded it carefully
but did all in it's power to satisfy
the Moslem pilgrims.
