JolIre that the troops to his right were
 broken the ones to his left were falling
 pack, therefore he should attack in the
 center, and that attack saved Paris.
 me article further stated that before
 the War began and while Foch was
 teacher in the military school at St.
 cyril, a school which corresponds in
 d measure to our own West Point upon one occasion he and his class
 were studying the campaigns of our
 own civil war and Foch said to his
 students. America has produced two
 great generals, Lee and Grant. Lee
 never had a superior and probably never an equal on defensive warfare,
 but outside of Napoleon Bonaparte, Grant never had a superior in offen slVe warfare and then he added, Gentlemen, wars are won by of- ! fensives."
 When, years after that. the allies flnally agreed among themselves upon j q unity of command, Foch had risen until he was placed first in command 1 ot the allied armies in Italy and soon l afterwards became the commander
 in-chief of the entire allied forces. watched with especial interest the plan ! or hls campaign and as the German 1 drlVe gathered impetus and the allied
 ines gave way, now in one place and
 then Tn another. and toch still was
 able 10 withdraw his men in such man.
 ner as to maintain his front at all
 times and to keep his various divisions
 in touch with the other, one could see
 that he had been close student of
 Lee S tactics of defense, and then after
 Chateau Thierry when he had wrested
 the initiative from yon Hindenburs
 and had begun that long steady offense
 that ended in final victory, and when
 he was hitting the enemy in some new
 place every day, forcing the fighting
 never giving the enemy time to rest or
 recuperate. you old soldiers who fol-
 lowed that campaign. you couldn't fail
 to recognize it, it was Grants wilder
 ness campaign over again only on a
 larger scale, so I say today that you
 men of the sos had a large share ir
 the winning of this greatest of al
 wars, and your eyes will fill and youl
 hearts will thrill when old glory floats
 on the breeze, over the honors won ant
 the great deeds done by your sons
 across the seas
 And as in war, so in peace, you have already blazed the train so plain tha
 none can miss who seek to follow, ant that trail has pointed slways to an or.
 |, justice and equality to all men befor, the law and within the protection O
 the law. It ever leads away from tn, , paths of riot and revolution, class dis tinctiOn and class hatred, away iron , disorder, destruction and anarchy: ant on this day, set apart by a gratefu
 nation to commemorate the valorou deeds of our heroes, living and dead our hearts go out to you, men of tn Grand Army ripened by years and ex
 perience, each year your ranks grov , thinner, your steps more feeble, on 7 by one your comrades here on eartl , fall out, to answer the great reveill in lands above, and to take their plac in the ranks of that great host of yol | fellows who have gone before, but th cause for which you wrought so might , fly shall still live for there yet remail your sons and grandsons, veterans o your country's later wars. and wh have heard the call of human libert ; and caught your spirit. and who stan ready to complete your work and pic up and carry the torch when it sha1 : fall from your nerveless fingers.
