EMINENT FRENCH GENERAL
EVER DISTINGUISHED FOR AT
TACHMENT TO FAITH-FOCH,
SOLDIER OF FRANCE, is ALSO
SOLDIER OF GOD.

In honoring Marshal Foch, who is
visiting this country, the American
people will be paying homage not only
to a great general, but also to an ex-
emplary Catholic.
Those who have studied the career
of Marshal Foch since he has come to
be ranked with the great military
geniuses of history, are brought to
marvel quite as much at the simplicity
and strength of his Catholic faith as
at the quality of his martial achieve
ments. Marshal Foch's special devo-
tion to the Blessed Sacrament is re.
garded as perhaps the outstanding
characteristic of his piety.
An incident which showed how com.
pletely the great Frenchman could
turn his thoughts to God in the midst
of a conflict that filled the minds and
hearts of all mankind is related by
one of his recent biographers. 1t was
at the very crisis of the war, when
Germanys power seemed irresistible
Foch gave his final commands for the
meeting of the foe and than asked
that he might be left to himself for an
hour. The officers of his staff thought
he needed rest and were quick to
leave him alone.
Found Him in the Chapel.
An imperative telegram came from
the front. 1t demanded a reply. The
aides hurried to the generals quarters
He was not there. Then an officer
who knew Foch's faith sought him in
the chapel. There he was-before the
Blessed Sacrament. Having done all
that human power could do for his
armies, Foch had gone to speak to his
God. He was doing as a general what
he had done so often as boy in his
little native village of Tarbes.
In times of peace and prosperity
anti-clericals, agnostics, atheists haG
had ruled France and driven God, sc
far as they could, from a part in hel
government. This hostility to Goo
and religion had pursued Foch and de
prived him for long time of promo
tion and recognition. BY 1907, Focf
had made his genius felt. This genius
was the fruit of study and faith. Ir
that year a new director was to be
appointed for the famous Ecole de
Guerre. Clemenceau was Premier. He
invited Foch to luncheon and withou
preliminaries, said:

HADLEY IS
EXECUTED
FOR CRIME
Former Army Surgeon
Convicted Of Wife's
Murder, Electrocuted
at Richmond

Richmond, Va, Dec. DIR
Wilmer Amos Hadley, former army
surgeon and ranchman, was put to
death in the electric chair In the
state penitentiary early today for
the murder of his wife, Mrs. Sue
Tinsley Hadley in November,
1918. Prison attendants declared
Hadley went to his death calmly
and stoically.
Mr.. Hadley made no statement
before his death further than to
say he had "made his peace with
God" and was prepared for the
end. The execution closed one Of
the most sensational murder cases
in the history Of Virginia.
Mrs. Hadley's body was found
in the James river, Richmond, on
December 80, 1918, by a negro
trapper and was identified by the
womans sister several weeks later.
A search for DIR. Hadley was be-
gun by local authorities which
carried them through many states
and parts of Canada and he final
ly was apprehended on a ranch in
Mexico, At the time of his arrest
he was in disguise and under an
assumed name. He was taken to
Denver, Colo, where, according to
the Nenrico county authorities.
he made a written confession that
he had killed his wife.
This confession was used
against him in his trial. In the
confession he declared he also shot
a mysterious "Dr. Griffin" a fell
low surgeon in the army, but an
investigation proved this to be un-
founded, which Hadley finally ad-
mitted.
From the time of his arrest last
August until his death today, DR..
Hadley maintained taciturn
calmness and indifference.
