Great French General ~ Devout Man
All His Life.

The secret Of where Foch used to
go for strength and magical power
to bring home the marvellous vic
tories" was published by a Califor-
MIA boy. 1t was not published by
any organ OF France to show the
world how religious" its leader is.
A California boy serving as a SOL
der in the Expeditionary Forces in
France, recently wrote a letter to
his parents in San Bernardino, in
which he gives, as well as any one
else could give, the answer to the
question we ask, Whence Foch's
Strength?
This American boy, Evans by
name, tells Of meeting Gen. Foch
at close range in France.
Evans had gone into an old church
to have a look at it, and as he
stood there with barred head, salts
flying his respectful curiosity, a gray
man, with the eagles Of general on
the collar Of his shabby uniform,
also entered the church. Only one
orderly accompanied the quiet, gray
man. No glittering staff Of officers,
no encourage Of gold-laced aides,
we're with him; nobody but just an
orderly.
Evans paid no attention at first
to the gray man, but was curious to

TAX VALUATION
RAILROAD PROPERTY
SHOWS BIG INCREASE

Tallahassee, July s0.-The assessed
valuations OF the several railroads and
telegraph lines for the state OF Flor
ida for the purpose of taxation for
the year 1919, have just been for
warded from the comptroller's office
to the tax assessors of the various
counties through which the lines are
operated.
The railroad and telegraph assess
ment apportioned to the various coun-
ties shows a substantial increase in
every county, with but one or two
exceptions, which is due to the fact
that the assessing board determined
that under the law all terminal val
nations existing on the several lines
should be distributed pro rata to the
main track mileage throughout The
counties traversed by such lines; these
valuations. heretofore. having been
applied solely within the county in
which such terminal valuations were
located.
The total valuations of all rail-
road and telegraph property. as as
sessed by the board. OF the year 1919,
amounts to s4s.7sS.3 0s. The total val
uation for the year 1918 was $4s.472,-
$50. The total increase in the valda-
ton of the railroad and telegraph
property for 1919, over 1918. Is ST.

ARTILLERY and
CAVALRY CORPS
WORK PRAISED
RECENT PUNITIVE EXPEDITION
INTO JUAREZ TO DRIVE OUT
VILLA TROOPS WAS sPECTAC-
ULAR EVENT..

Washington, July 3o.-Offfcial de-
tailed reports on the recent punitive
expedition into JuareZ to drive out
Villa troops, when the battle there
threatened lives of Americans in e
Paso, give especial praise to the work
OF both the artillery and the cavalry.
1t is said that some of the achieve
ments Of second battalion OF the SIND
field artillery under command of Lit.
Col. H. l.. Newbold were as spectacu
lar as any in the great war when the
small nature of the engagement il
taken into consideration.
TIL report says Colonel Newbold had
his men and guns in so closely be-
hind the skirmish line that they were
ready to fire before the infantry had
made contact. and the instant the
command to fire was given, the
shrapnel began sweeping the fence
corners and grand stand of the race
track. where the Villa troops were,
exactly on the target.
Colonel Newbold's batteries got off
sixty-four rounds with such speed and
accuracy that observers report the
action like a performance of the prize
gun teams in France which made
new records with the French 75's.
When the infantry advanced, every
point of vantage around the Mexican
position was found riddled with steel
bullets.
The cavalry comes in for a full
measure OF praise for it's rapid move
ment to cut off the main rebel body
while the performance of the engi-
neers in throwing across NE Rio
Grande in less than an hour, a pom
toon bridge capable of bearing the
heaviest equipment is reported as
having set new records in that line.
The "doughboys" of the infantry, of
course, come in for their usual share
OF praise which is in no way dimmed
by the mention of the success of the
engineers. cavalry and artillery.
