FOCH HAS ALWAYS
BEEN VICTORIOUS

the reason why General JOffre became
'marechal de France" Today there
are only three "marechals" in all
France-Joffre, Foch and Petain. The
marvellous strategy of Foch stands out
more clearly every day. Napoleon
had many "marechals," all of them
prOdigieS of valor and some Of genius
--Massena, Lannes, Soult, Murat, Ney
and others. The emperor made them
either dukes or princes or both, and
sometimes kings. But with all their
glory doubt if any one Of them has
rendered such signal service to their
country-certainly not to humanity
as have Joffre and Foch.
GaIIieni's Great Feat.
General Gallieni, the former gov
ernor of Paris, would have been made
'marechap had he only lived long
enough to receive the honor due him.
1t would be a beautiful idea If the
government of the French republic
created him a marechal even now, and
inscribed on his tomb: "Gallieni died
in the service of his country. General
de Division-Marechal de France" 1t
might not do the general any good, but
it would please the army and the en-
justice to an immortal. name and
would be a fitting tribute to great
and good soldier, though whether they
call him general or marshal or drum
major makes little difference. Gal
lieni's name rests secure in his 30-word
proclamation and in safekeeping of
100000 free Frenchmen, for whom
he did more than any other one man
to retain their liberty at a critical
time
Joffre Won at the Marine.
Marshals Joffre and Foch, as the
world knows, are also great soldiers.
For three long years Joffre withstood
the fearful onslaught He never MUIR
INJURED, though he had terrible diff
culties to endure. He husbanded his
small armies while we prepared ours.
When his task was done and the bat
tie of the, Marine gained, Joffre retired
from activity with the great honor he
had hardly won.
Foch has always been victorious.
He. has served his country with love,
with ardor and felicity To his fine
character he adds great ability. He
has been preceded by list Of names
which have Illuminated the history Of
France and mankind during the CEN
turies.

SOLDIERS WORK IN THE RAIN
Correspondent Describes Trip to Os-

Torn by Shells Almost as
Good as New.

American Press Headquarters, Brit
ish Front.-We had an impressive IL
lustration today of the accomplish
ments of the engineers in this war
when we drove into Ostend.
The chief of the American mission
at Belgian headquarters had warned
us dramatically against an attempt to
make the trip. At least three days
would be required, he said. The roads
were torn up by shells and mines and
congested with troops. Yesterday a
light car had taken twelve hours to
make twenty miles. But we started
out and had as smooth a road as any
boulevard in the middle West for the
entire distance. There were several
places where we had to make detours
through villages, and as the dozens of
bridges across the canal near Ostend
were all blown up we had to drive on
about five miles to temporary bridge.
We averaged about thirty miles an
hour.
Soldiers Work in Rain.
Most of the road was kept up by
British labor battalions, excepting the
section near Christel, through the aw-
full Flanders swamps, where Belgian
soldiers worked necessarily in driv-
ing rain. We heard they had worked
all night without rest, and so auto
matte had their operations with pick
and shovel become that they did not
stop to look up when our speeding car
threw Shiny mire all over them. For
a camp they used the long lines Of
German pill-box forts. At one place
we saw about twenty of these squat
chambers, with walls three feet thick
and made of concrete, REINFORCED

URGE U. S. SELL
WHEAT FOR S1.25
fBy Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Grain
dealers appearing today before the
house agriculture committee, pro-
posed that the government pay the
guaranteed price of $2.26 bushel
for the 1919 wheat crop and sell 1t to
the consumer at the world market
price which they estimated would be
about s1.25. The witnesses generally
believed this plan would cost the gov
crnment probably billion and quar-
ter dollars, but said this loss was pre-
ferable to any attempt on the part OF
the government to maintain an artlfl-
cial price.
Representative Lever, of South
Carolina, suggested tire other plans:
That the wheat movement be en-
tirely on the pre-war basis; that the
movement possibly be restricted by
the government being authorized to
sell or buy so as to prevent manipula-
lation, and that the domestic move
ment be entirely on the pre-war basis
with the export movement under fed
eral control.

INCREASE IN GAS

Opposition to Rate Raise
Asked by Gas Company.

Open warfare on the raise In rates
asked by the Richmond Light. Heat
and Power company was declared
Monday night by City Attorney Rob
bins backed by the mayor and the
council at the council meeting.
Robbins declared he was tired OF
trying to keep the city and. the gas
company out of trouble. He was
heartily applauded by the council, and
the mayor and the council express
ed unanimous resolution to fight any
increase In rates.
The gas company is never salts.

said. II am getting very tired OF
hearing continual wall from them.
They are allowed seven per cent

Year before last their profit was
twelve per cent. Their report for last
year has not been published. and their
profit was perhaps smaller. but be.
lieve 1t Is still above their allowance
For Commission to Decide.
Now this year they will perhaps
fall below the lowest profit allowed
them. but what II they do? They have
a good long way to 60 yet to work
out their excess profits OF last year
and year before last. Let them suffer
a little with the rest of u.s."
Robbins said he believed the city
should let the gas company take its
plea to the public service commission
and tight out the question there.
Mayor Zimmerman said that in re
lation to the plea of the company that
1t had suffered by having its industrial!
customers cut of by the Federal fuel
administration. that it had been en-.
couraged by the city in the first place
to supply cheap fuel to private con.
sumers. When the factories began
taking gas. he said, the small consum.
ers suffered.
Why most other cities in the central
west supplied with gas paid very much
smaller rates than Richmond was a
thing many people could not under.
stand. said Councilman Schneider.
Charges Fictitious Valuation.
They are getting their rates on a
fictitious valuation" said Councilman
Ford. They are making rates on the
valuation OF the artificial light gas
plant and that plant isn't any good to
Richmond. They put that valuation
in to make rates as high as possible "
City Attorney Robbins explained
that most OF the cities with lower
rates than Richmond were very much
larger consumers.
The ordinance on parking of We.
hicles. as amended, was given it's first
reading. Much discussion was pro-
voked by the clause making the east
side the one to be used by machines.
