Marshal Foch Is taking q particular
satisfaction at this time Of the con-
summation of a great victory to pay
homage to the fame Of Lazare% Hoche.
the famous young general who escaped
the Revolutionary guillotine eventual
" to- command that army Of the Sam
bre-et-Meuse which, though at first
disorganized. badly fed and badly
equipped, performed the brilliant seven
months campaign which established
the reputation Of French arms on both
sides Of the Rhine. To this day at
Weissenthurm stands a monument to
its memory and that Of its brilliant
young chief. No wonder Marshal Foch
takes pleasure In recalling Lazare
Hoche to his countrymen. OF Hoche
it Is said that he once proudly wrote
to the minister for war of his day.
"Je suis la patrie." The French OF
the present century would throw up
their hats at such a sentiment as en-
thusiastl cally as the contemporaries Of

ADMINISTRATION FORCES.
MARSHALED FOR ATTACK
UPON KNOX RESOLUTION

The Administration forces in and
out of the Senate are marshaled today
for the bitter fight Senator Hitchcock
of Nebraska, acting Senate minority
leader, is prepared to direct against
the Knox resolution providing for the
conclusion OF peace with Germany
first and consideration of the League
of Nations afterward.
Senator Knox plans to force a test
vote on his resolution tomorrow, II
only for the purpose of lining up
enough anti-league Senators to dem
.onstrate that the two-thirds essential
to the ratification of the peace treaty
is lacking. He says, however, that he
may wait until later in the week
that it all depends upon the stu
alton"
There are several ways anti-league
Senators can secure a test vote, 1t was
pointed out. One is on a motion to have
the Knox measure made unfinished
business" another is a motion to have
it taken up out of the regular order
in which it now rests on the Senate
calendar; still another would be an
effort to enforce the cloture rule linn
iting debate. Aside from these three,
there are half a dozen other different
motions, Republican Senators stated,
on which proponents and opponents
of the resolution could be placed on
record.
Senator Hitchcock intends to voice
the Administration contention that
the Knox resolution, IL adopted. will
place the Senate in the undesirable
position Of meddling with the present
peace negotiations" 1t was announced.

Grape juice. next to water the most

Lonz. who is a grape grower and
represents Ottawa county in the Ohio
house. has written Senator Pomercne
protesting against the prohibition en-
fOrcement bill, now pending in Con-
Eress, which prescribes the half per
cent limit for all alcoholic drinks.
His letter declares that the grape
juice industry would be ruined il any
such restriction is imposed
The fact is" he says, that in go
ing over Government reports of an
alyses made on fresh pressed grape
juice under the moaJ careful condi-
lions an alcoholic percentage was
found which exceeded even per cent
and in many cases to exceed one-haIf
Of ! per cent, the present limit
II call your attention 10 the fact
that in the normal handling Of grape
juice or grapes. especially where
grapes are standing for two or three
days before they arc pressed, which
is usual in the grape growing dis
tricts, small percentage Of alcohol
Is unavoidable. The proposed limit ]
consider should be brought up to at
least per cent. and | would ask that
you take this matter up in committee
