The Leopard Can t Z
Change His Spots
By c. M. MORRISON.
TNHE NAN who whipped the HuI
knows the Hun better than any

,lHNHE- MAN who whipped the HuI
knows the Hun better than any
one else In the world. That mar
is Field Marshal Ferdinand Foch, com
mander of all the allied armies II
Europe, and who repeats that the
leopard cannot change its spots.
1--WE must stay on the Rhine" says
Foch. 1--WE must doublelock the door
The man who says this is the allied
general who was given the well-nigh
.super-human task Of stopping the
Huns when they were beating back
the allies one little year ago.
Remember" says he, chose TO-
100000 of Germans will always be a
menace to us. They are an envious
and warlike people. Their character
istics are not changed. Fifty years
hence they will be what they are to-
day. Do not trust the appearances Of
the moment"
Those OF us who have been telling
ourselves that "the war is over and
that maybe "the Germans will settle
down pretty soon and go about their
business In a peaceful manner" win
do well to ponder rather deeply what
Marshal Foch says.
/. His utterances on the very eve If
the final action on the peace treaties
indicate the dread, the utter distrust
of the Huns that is fclt by their
neighbors.
THE next time says General Foch,
remember that Germany will make
no mistake. They will break through
into northern France and seize the
channel ports as a base Of operations
against England. They failed the last
time because they did not believe Eng
land would come In and when they
faund she was coming in it was too
late to change their plans"
You think" he added, ''the Ger
mans will have no arms for another
attack! Ho! Ho! How do you know?
BY the time you had found out that
they had them it would, be too late"
