NEWTON A. FUEssLE =, Author OF THE FLAIL"
Another Study of Marshal Foch

attempt made at invasion Of German
Lorraine in the third week of August,
1914 (which he calls the battle of Nor
hange and battle of Trouee de Charmes),
this section of the book has nothing to
distinguish it. In fact beyond a fairly
successful attempt T. combine Marshal
Foch's private with his public life Mr..
Atteridge's work achieves nothing beyond
being popular life.
1t is noticeable that he emphasizes the
fact that until Foch was sixty-three years
old he had never taken part in an actual
battle nor even been under fire. In our
Congress it is one of the favorite meth
DDS Of expressing contempt for an officer
in our army, navy or Marine Corps to
bring such Charge against him. If our
Senators and Representatives could ever
be taught anything about military affairs
they might learn from the career of Foch
that not to have taken part in battle nor
been under fire does not necessarily mean
q man cannot be a good commander, to
say nothing of being a great one.

By w. B. MCCORMICK.

LEW are the living men of whom it
l. could be more difficult to write a
satisfactory biography than the greatest
military commander of to-day, Marshal
Ferdinand Foch. He has Stunned pub
icity to such an extent, vet with tact
so profound he has offended no one ap-
parently. that only one anecdote IS told
Of bin and only one change has been
recorded in his personal habits. The first
Of these is his calling the attention Of the
then Premier Clemenceau to the fact that
he was Catholic when given the post of
Director of the School of War in 1907 In
the DAYS when anti-clericalism was rife IN
French politics and in the French army.
The second is that during the period of
the recent hostilities he has smoked pipe
instead of a cigar! Other than that he
has adopted Brittany as his home, that
he is devoted to rural instead of urban
life and that he Is devoutly religious
there is little to tell of the Generalissimo
Of the allied armies except for his record
of soldier. Yet nothing could be more
characteristic. of the true military spirit.
For it is the very essence of the nature OF
Sprofessional soldier to abhor publicity.
What A. Hilliard Atteridge has at
tempted in his biography, Marshal Fer
di,dnd Foch is to combine the personal life
and characteristics of his subject with his
military career, and while the result is in
no way distinguished, it is a record salts
flying enough for the general reader. Its
defects are that Mr.. Atteridge has
looked at recent military events only from
the viewpoint of his subject and as to
how he affected or was affected BY them.
Moreover the author seems to have DELHI
erately blinkcd at some very well known
events in British and American relations
to Marshal Foch. in the one case the bit
ter opposition by one element in British
public life to the appointment of Cen
eralissimo tan opposition that almost
wrecked the Lloyd George Government
at one period. and in the second to the
very considerable part President Wilson
PLAYED IN crcItirg united command for
the allied armies.
We take il Mr. Attcr;dge is an Eng
hshInan, and aS such is quite Indifferent
to precision is to things American. Thus

"Jungle Tales of Tarzan"

THE Jacket of Edgar Rice Bur
Il roughs's latest book Jungle Tales
of Taraa., makes the assertion, "In all
the history of modern fiction the Tarzan
stories have been unequalled for imme
date and widespread popularity" This
seems rather astonishing. A careful read
ing of the present volume shows no APP
parent reason for wide circulation Put
maybe he the earlier books were better
than this.
Tarzan, the man ape, who has leaped
with scenario rapidity and unrcality
through five previous volumes, now en-
cages in further adventures in connec-
ton with beasts and birds and reptiles
specimens Of unnatural history which al
WAYS come out losers in encounters with
Tarzan, who is represented as a demigod
in cunning and luck Small boys may
find Tarzan entertaining if they haven't
happened to read kipling's Jungle Tales.
Many adults viii be bored by Teeka and
Taug. the apes, the black warriors of
Mbonga; of Sheeta, the panther; Numa,
the lion; Histah, the snake; Tanto, the
elephant: Bcra, the deer; Goro, the moon,
and all the rest.
Man really likes to read about the jun
gle, perhaps the more so the further he
is removed from it in actual life; but he
prefers reasonable reality to unlimited
romancing But there are a good many
small hoys in America who don't know
Kiping.
