LONDON PRAISES FOCH
. AS HEARTILY AS PARIS
Reappearance in Proper Role Has Put Allied Europe in
Fine Spirits-Matching Brains With
Ludendorff
By CHARLES H. CRASTY

his rival-he has no kaiser nosing
about. Correspondents who were
formerly attached to the German head
quarters tell me the Kaiser made him
self an awful nuisance. and Ludendorff
and Hindenburg resorted to all sorts of
subterfuges to mitigate the inconvenience
and injury of his constant interference
with military matters. Foch had his
difficulties at the outset. but his grip
has steadily frightened. and after May
81 he perfected the organization and
assumed more control
Though he is a strict dsciplinarian.
General Foch Is an excellent diplomat
and gets on well with all his associates.
Only such a man could have ironed
out all the difficulties inevitably at
tendant upon putting generalissimo In
charge. From now on our unity should
work more smoothly than Ludendorff' 8
Foch has gained the full confidence of
all. and all the Allied Governments will
back him up to the limit. Fortunately
he Is not man to abuse his power. He
has as much tact as firmness. with all
his remarkable vision his feet are al
ways on the ground. He is as plain as
an old shoe. entirely without military
airs and delightfully."- free from egotisn
Thorough preparedness and quick
action are the combination he believes
in. To quote one of his expressions,
"The victory always goes to those who
merit it by superior force of intelligence
and will"
