MARSHAL FOCH TOLD
PERsHING TO "G0 TO IT.
And About Every One Will Agree
That the American General
Obeyed Orders.

Treves, Jan. 18.-It is the conviction
Of Marshal Foch that the Rhine must
be made the barrier between Germany
and France. He expressed this clearly
today when he received American
newspaper correspondents. The mar
shall is here in connection with the
meeting concerning the extension of
the German armistice.
Marshal Foch pointed out the diff
culties that had been overcome and
said that peace must be commensurate
with the price Of victory. Germany
now was beaten, he added, but with
her resources, especially in men, recup-
Grafton in a comparatively short time
was quite possible. 1t was now the
study of the allies to prevent further
aggressions.
Marshal Foch praised the work OF
the American troops and said that Gen
eral Pershing had asked that the
American forces be concentrated for an
attack on one sector. The allied gen
eralissimO admitted that the Argonne-
Meuse 'front.' where the Americans be-
gan their offensive on September &C.,
was q "sectOr hard to tackle" The
marshal said he had told General Per-
shing:
"Your men have the devils own
punch. Go to it."
The American attack succeeded, the
marshal continued. "and here we are
on the Rhine"
The armistice' was not concluded too
soon and the allies got all they asked
for from Germany without continuing
the fighting.
The allies, the marshal said, were
prepared for another offensive stroke
which would have forced the Germans
to give up. This was to have been
made in Lorraine on November H.
with six American and 20 French divi-
sions.
"This is. for me-" Marshal Foch be-
gan, 'a happy opportunity to tell you
all the good things 1 think of the
American army and of the part it
played on our side. Your soldiers were
superb. They came to us young, en-
thusiastic, and carried forward by a
vigorous idealism and they marched to
battle with admirable gallantry. Yes
they were superb There is no other
word"

I've often thought what a strange
lght it must have been; what a pic
ure l made sitting there calmly
awaiting the approach OF. the angry

is bottle, was blinking up at me
with it's little brown eyes, satisfied,
content with the world, nestled
against it's mothers bosom, whose
every heart beat threw out love and
protection against everything, every
person on earth who meant Ill for
the helpless mite now sheltered
there.
SO they entered and viewed US.

My straightforward gaze seemed to

stood, as if celebrating on her next
move.
So that was her game; to be rid
of me, and to be rid of me, Philip
must also go along, so as to make
it appear-just so!
