"Who Are These Gentlemen

Foch Asked.

PARIS, March 21.-Marshal Ferdi-
nand Focl1s connection with the great
war will be perpetuated only slightly
more through his military achievements
than by the historical scene in the
clearing Of the Compiegne forest. where.
with his train drawn up opposite the
special cars that brought the German
armistice delegates, he awaited the
plenipotentiaries in order to communi-
cate terms to them. -.
The marshal was short and succinct
with the German envoys-so much 20.
in fact, that they complained afterward
that he had Inundated them.
When the Germans entered the
marshal's car they were ushered TO one
side Of o table. Opposite them Foeh
stood with the other allied plenipoten-
tiaries. The first words formed this
question from the marshal:
who are these gentlemen and what
do they want?"
Leader Taken Aback.
Matthias Erzberger, leader Of the Ger
mans. was somewhat taken aback by
the abr.iptness of this greeting. He
hesitated o bit o. II he had failed to
understand the fiction by which Marshal
Foch made 1t appear that he was
unaware Of the identity OF the visitors.
but he finally mastered himself and re-
piled:
I'VE are the German plenipotentiaries
who have come TO receive terms for an
armistice between the Grman and allied
armies"
The marshal thereupon handed to
Herr Erzberger the text Of the condi-
lions already agreed upon by the allies.
He added this short sentence:
They are to be accepted as whole. p"
There was no handshaking at this
meeting. Neither was there any . cou-
pie of days later, when, after SUBMIT
ting the conditions to the German gen
eral headquarters ut the Spa. Herr
Eryberger received word from linden
burg that they must be accepted. hard
as they were.
Second Meeting Mere Solemn.
The second meeting was more solemn
than the FIRST. Revolution had broken
out In Germany and the euvoys did not
know whether they were signing on
behalf Of o republic or Of . commune.
They filed dejectedly into the car where
Marshal Foch and the other delegates
awaited them and sat down ut the ia
BILE with no more greeting than . stiff
| bow.
The Germans signed the document
which spelled collapse of the greatest
war machine that the world has ever
known. Foch stood erect and imper-
turbable until the Germans, with tears
! In their eyes, arose and prepared to
leave. Herr Erzbergef old:
Monsieur marshal, people OF S.
100000 souls suffers, but does not per-
| ish."

described today by Stephanne Lausanne,

LAS for his nodesty," the writer said
Modest, he was maSniicently so. And,
above all, 1t was natural.
when in 1921 he went to the United
States, he was received as neither Ma
poleon nor Caesar would have been.
He was adored like q god. Women
brought their children so that they
might touch, his coat as they might
touch q sacred relic.
