Warning Against Lack
Of War Preparedness
Giuen British By Foch
(By Associated Press)

LONDON. July 19.-"The next time,
England will be in the same position
as the last time-she will not be ready
and we will have to wait for her."
is a statement made by Marshal Foch
of France to a correspondent of the
Danly Mail, which prints an interview
with the commander-in-chief Of the
allied armies this morning.
Marshal Foch in the course OF the
interview, however, pays highest trib-
ute to the British army saying: THE
military history of the world contains
no parallel to the production of such
an army in such a way. In every re-
spect the British army has been
superb"
The marshal insists that Great Brit
ain should maintain large reserves OF
military material saying: THAT is one
of the obvious and indispensable pre-
cautions to be taken"
Look at the out of date equipment
with which we started this war;" the
marshal is quoted as saying. "The
next war will be more than ever one
Of machinery. You should have lab
oratories with inventors always at
work keeping you abreast of the me
chanical side of war"

ANSELL RESIGNS TO
FORCE INTEREST IN
COURT MARTIAL WAR
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July 19. - Lieut..
Col Samuel T. Ansell, former acting
Judge advocate general Of the army
and the central figure in the contro-
versy within the war department re-
garding military justice, handed his
resignation to Secretary Baker today.
Col. Ansell is understood to have
taken this action in the hope that he
might bring more forcefully before the
public the fight which he is making to
have the rules Of military trial radi-
cally changed. He has maintained IN
hearings before congressional commit
tees and in speeches before law orgai-
cations that under present conditions
a private in the army could not hope
for q fair trial.
Secretary Baker would not say to,
day what action he would take on Col
Ansells resignation. 1t Is generally
expected, however. that it will be
accepted.
