TAUGHT BY WAR SAYS F0CH Much Can Be Learned From Study of Works of the
 Germans
~ A,.eeIassS .rsss

Paris, Friday, January s.-Preparation for war is urged as measure of prudence by Marshal Foch in an interview printed today in the Excelsior. War is no longer an art he said, but science. and indus try. and the French can learn much from Ia sttsay of the works of the Germans
 .The lesson which France, ana the world should draw from the war is the lesson of prudence. the marshal said. with the best wish in the world wa is not always avo;dable. It can break upon the frontiers of the most pacific people perhaps the most easily on those iron tiers. It would be fatal to believe that one vii; not nave to fight because one does not wish iC fight. If it needs two for fight, One alone is enough to be beaten.
 warhas ceased to be an art and has become science and an industry. As such 1t can pc evolved infinitely. .
 The rmy post brought me enough books on war to last me century. I found time to study them deeply and found therl very Interesting. although some showed subversive tendencies. We have much to learn from the technical works of our fate enemy It is by study ing thoroughly the topics of the enemy that his wdkk spots can be discovered kiauseHitx. and Bernhardi German mili- tary writerg nave shown me that the most rigid systems cannot always with stand observation It is rare that the rr~oy Fho believes he has left nothing 70 sane does not give you some good opportunity of beating him Such an op- peri must te sought and. if neces- sar1f ereated-v

 Members of Parliament

rnnAon. January 5.-(Reciprocal News Service. )--To secure the sympa- thy of Parliament multi-reel film of Lancashire cotton mills in action was .rh,bited before members of the House of Commons m one of their commit fee rooms. with unusual results
 Just as the industrial record was be- rinnine on the screen. word came m that the prime minister was 70 speaA in the House in 20 minutes: ine movle ...sr.tor was asked to make the show brief. Instead of eliminating any resis lie put on high speed
 Where dock laborers had been tofi- ing slowly with bales of cotton from America. they suddenly developed an industrious airiness that stunned the lawmakers who. like most educated Enxli shmen. know little or nothing or the freaks of filmdom. The heavy bales were tossed about like balloons and processions of staggering iaDorers seemed tq make 2 merry 1azS oA 'ne'' work.
 Magic mills rolled out miles of cot .on fabric in minutes The mill hands. stacking the bolta of goods. were strangely misrepresehted by the speed of the projection. One man seemed to tap the other on the head with bolt whereupon he flew away like a .rd The twiddiing of legs was entirely too rap;d to be distinguished.

sy Assrscistsd rrs,s

A New York. January 1l.--Anothe1 Liberty Loan will be necessary if Con- sress embarks on new fields of large expenditure or reduces the aggregate volume of taxes" Secretary Glass de- clared in statement tonight setting foth in detail the governments finan. cial condition.
 If the present tax level is retained and new expenditures are kept down, the turn has come in the tide of gov. ernment financing. the secretary as- serted.
 Barring the congressional action mentioned, Mir. Glass believed the treasury would be able to pay it's own ceipts. Although further Issues of treasury certificates of Indebtedness may be expected. tffey will be re- deemed from cash on hand rather than through the sale of new issues of cer- tificates for the first time since late in 1917. The treasury secretary di- rected attention to statements made early in September in which he ex- pressed the opinion that the strain had lessened and that after January l the governments financial problems would be more easily solved.
 As indicative of the progress made by the treasurys in solution of these problems. MT. Glass pointed to reduc- .tions between September | and Janu- ary in the nations gross debt and in the two classes of certificates of in- debtedness outstanding the gross debt. which on September i was $2e, e,596,- ' 1cl,s4s, was so5ss7,05s.s07 on Janu- ary 1.
 FLOATING DEBT REDUCED
 Reduction in the floating debt un- matured treasury certificates of in- debtedness of $s22653.e50 has been made since September -k leaving the total outstanding obligations of this nature at s3.57S.4s5.So0 on January l. A reduction of $sS5,1 1e6. 300 was re- ported for the same period in the out standing so-caIied loan certificates, leaving 900 of these yet to be funded.
 The loan certificates outstanding January were of issues maturing January ?. January 15, February and February Is.
 All of these the Secretary said. have been or will be paid out Of cash on hand January 1, or from the proceeds of sales of tax certificates issued II anticipation of any one of four tax .irstallments due during tiAc present year. Mir. Glass believes this indicates Success for the trsasurys plan to avoid further large funding operations and for financing the unfunded DOT tions Of the war debt
