THE WELCOME TO FoCH.

The welcome which the government
and the people of the United States ex-
tend to Marshal Foch, leader OF the
anti-German forces in the World war,
is sincere and straight from the heart.
There win be many frills and lighter
things in connection with the recep-
ton to the great tactician but under
meath those things win be the strong
current OF cordiality, even love. The
American people have come to POSSESS
the highest respect for Foeh as a sol
dier and as a man. His conduct on the
field of battle from the first Marine to
the last Marine stamped him as one
Of the greatest military figures Of all
time. 1t was he, during the first
Marine battle, who turned the tide Of
battle in favor of the hard-driven
French by giving the command to at
tack even though his center and one
wing had given way before the enc
my. 1t was that command and that
success then attained which stopped
the German march on Paris in 1914.
From that time Foch did not attain
marked prominence in the progress OF
the war until, by most fortunate de-
cision, the allies chose him for general
issimo, the directing head of all the
allied forces on the field. When thus
equipped with supreme authority and
when backed by the vast forces of the
allies, not TO forget the million OF
Americans ready for the word, Foch
displayed the master mind capable OF
circumventing the Germans in their
great speciality of waging war. That
master mind put into operation the
splendid plans decided upon after a
lifetime of study of war problems in
general and Of this territory in partic-
kular. The result, as the whole world
knows, was complete triumph for
the allies and the humiliation of the
once proud German empire. Foch did
that. For it the world stands ready t.
grant appreciation. And then. after
the war, after attaining such prcmi'
nence, Foch became the citizen, the
modest recipient Of the praise of the
whole allied world, man who showed
that he could take the plaudits with
the same nonchalance as he had re-
ceived the blows Of the enemy. His
attitude betokoned the real man
Therefore. on the occasion of his visit

The little football David, Centre coll
lege, smote the Goliath hard, and Har-

the eyes. TiEsc was when small col
lege like Centre would have looked
upon it as absolutely impossible to
land victory over a college with such
football prestige as Harvard has; but
the sport has beer revolutionized dur
ing the past decade, largely because Of
the fact that the small colleges have
hired as capable coaches as the big
colleges were wont to have exclusively
in former years. Given capable, re-
sourceful coach, small college is able
to turn out very reditable team
