Marshal Foch is a distinct type OF
man. Somehow or other, he reminded
ma of things l had read of Gen. Grant,
who thought any uniform was good
enough to fight in so long as it was a
Union uniform. Foch is a man very
like the storied Grant in many ways,
though his problems in the great war
were more nearly analogous to those
of Gen. Lee. Foch was fighting an
other man, Won Hindenburg. who had
evidently built his whole scheme Of
military achievement on the Grant
theory of getting superior forces
