t low Foch achieved unity Of command

From by The New York Times.
Paris, March 19.-When Presi-
dent Poincare gave General
Foch his Marshaps baton last
Summer, he said in the course
of his presentation speech:
Marshal Foch, you won this
baton in the Garden of Doul-
lens"
Doullens is a town not far
north of Paris, where no battle
was ever fought, and those who
heard the speech wondered at
the time what the reference
meant. But in those days the
interest in daily battle commu-
niques was too keen for long,
continued interest in a bit of
rhetoric. Only recently have I
heard the explanation that Poin-
care had in mind that Foch's
greatest single act toward Win
ming the war was the bringing
about of unity of military COM
mand of all the allied armies.
This he did in the Garden of
Doullens.
1t was last March, when the
capture of Paris was considered
possible, if not probable, by
French Headquarters. Generals
Castelnau and Petain declared
El Imparcial. (San Juan, P.R.) 1918-197?, 1919-04-05

that to abandon Paris would be
fatal, and that the French capi-
tai must be saved even at the
cost of losing touch with the
British armies and leaving them
to save the Channel ports as
best they could, alone and
without French cooperation.
Foch disagreed. He said the
French and British armies must
keep in touch at any COST: and
that there must be one supreme
command.
This was the vital question.
Clemenceau, Foch, Poincare, Pc
tain, Leygues, and Loucheur
went to Doullens to thrash it
out on March 25. They, expect
ed the arrival of Lloyd George
and Haig the next day. Foch
and Clemenceau spent the. grea-
ter part of the day walking and
talking in the garden. Foch
urged upon the Premier the ne
cessity of unity Of command
and of keeping the armies toge-
ther even at the risk Of increas-
ing peril to Paris. D +

ne was right, and added:
"Now, you must convince
Poincafe and all the Others"
By the "others" he mean the
British, who had arrived. The
group resumed it's conversation
in the gardon, but soon adjour-
ned to a room in the Town Hall
of Doullens. Foch once more
went into his argument for
unity, but-as the man who
told me the story put it" he
was not in good FORM"
Clemenceau, thoroughly con-

Foch's argument for him. When
the Premier had finished he
turned to Haig, asking if he
consented. Haig did not utter
a word, but bowed his head in
acquiescence. Then Lloyd Geor-
ge said: "In the name of His
Majesty's Government, l accept
this PLAN"
,Whereupon Clemenceau pla-
ced his arms about the British
Premier's shoulders to express
his feeling, and unity of COM
