F0CH WARNS OF HUN STRENGTH.

In contrast with apparent heds-
ing as to supreme military power of
Foch. great stress is laid on the im-
portanle OF the Marshal'S warning
that Germany is not living up to the
armistice terms and that she can put
100000 troops in the field by April
lst. whereas the Allies will have only
100000 available at that date if
the present rate OF rehabilitation is
kept up.
Foch desires no real or apparent
diminution OF his authority. On
the contrary. he wants his power
greatly increased. and the armistice
terms. when the present period en-
pires on February II. will be made
more rigid, by the occupation of Es-
sen, the taking over Of more artil-
lery, and by compelling Germany to
comply with all the terms OF the
armistice. which SO far she has evad-
ed.
The French people are very largely
in sympathy with Foch. They have
never for moment considered the
war as over. There is constant dread
OF its being renewed under conditions
that will reverse the victory Of last
November. Hence their lack of pa
tience with all nonmilitary methods
TO bring about the desired final re-
suit.
Forming part OF the same situa-
tion is the conviction in France that
Germany is not yet defeated. and
that Germany herself is rapidly walk
ing up to the realization OF that
fact. AS the latest pieces OF prime
evindence of that fact. there is cited
the speech of DR.. David. the presi-
dent Of the German National Assem-
bly, at Weimar. in which he declared: :
The life of Alsace-Lorraine belongs
to that OF the German nation. and
we will never cease to demand that
its inhabitants shall have the power
OF self-determination, according to
the Wilson principles"
