Of his staff, the task Of writing the
impressions Of the generalissimo Of

Foch has made 1t a lifelong rule not
to write for publications Of any sort.
In speaking Of his trip across the
American continent, Marshal Foch
said: "There was always the same
enthusiasm, the same warmth, all

matter whether we were in the West,
the North, the South or the East. No
matter what the weather, thousands
Of men, women and children were al
