CHAPTER LXV
Kitty Burns was a stenographer
in the office of the Allied Shoe
Machinery Company. The girls all
thought she looked like Clara Bow,
with her big, brown eyes that
flashed and rolled like a first-class
movie vamp.
Frivolity was a sort of veneer
with Kitty. Beneath her rash
berry rouge, she was sweet and
guileless as a little plaster saint.
One morning Roger Caldwell,
dropping in, leaned over Kitty's
desk and asked if he might see
her that evening. For six weeks
that same young man had been

notice she had prayed that God

pledge, before Kitty accepted the
.1azzling solitaire he chose. Then
she gave two weeks notice, and
he girls gave her a miscellaneous
shower and a mahogany butter

ed, and Roger bought the wedding

The wonder of the thing never

Rebel Leader Retreats Further-Decisive Bat
 tie May Be Fought

MEXICO CITY, March 20.-With the main body of the rebel army a step nearer the American border, having retired from Escalon, 30 miles northward, to Jiminez, the Mexican Government interpreted this movement of Gen Escobar as another sign of rebel disintegration and declaring the revolt is as good as over.
 Insurgent quarters, however, as- serted Gen. Escohar's retirement is purely strategical and intimated he will draw the Federals further and further from their base and finally meet them in decisive battle in the northern country.
 Gen. Gales continued his me- thodical preparations to crush the rebels. He has arrived at Torreon and is personally preparing his army of 30,00o for further northern advance
 The rebel forces are described as numbering 25,0Oo They are con- tinuing concentrating at Jiminez.
 The Government charges the reb- els with footing banks of millions of pesos with the intention of flee ing to the United States with the loot. Tn such event extradition will be asked as ordinary crim- inals.

FEATURE, VAUDEVILLE,
 MAKE HIT AT PALACE

The vaudeville and comedy fea- ture presented at the Palace last night under the auspices of the American Legion Auxiliary, went over big and made a big hit. The same bill is on again tonight, and no doubt as large an audience will witness the show as did last night. The orchestra gave a good concert of old-time war selections, that were popular, "Hinky, Dinky," where Do We Go From Here , etc., starting at 7:45. Then there were two good news reels and a comedy. The vaudeville came on Dorothy Stearns Rolf and Dagny Hagerup, in costume, with clog and tap dancing, which went over good and called for an encore; and Fred Dobler and his banjo. He played various popular selections, assisted by the orchestra and also a char acteristic. Five numbers were giv- en and the audience insisted on more, and he gave an encore and then said good night" or he would have been playing yet.
 Laura LaPlante in the comedy, Finders Keepers kept the audi ence in a regular laugh riot. She reaches the heights of comedy when she impersonates a private. The scenes are laid in military train ing camp and everything is new comedy and splendid cast assists her.

ton are exhausted and we can no longer continue the war"
 "Hindenburg Line" Pierced
 The famous "Hindenburg Line" supposed by many military experts to be impregnable and which not a few believed eventually would bring about stalemate, had been pierc- cd by Foch's legions. The German dike was broken. The enemy, moreover, had suffered tremendous loss and the Allies casualties were comparatively light. Foch's speed and decision, his scientific calcu- lation, were too much for the Germans, despite their boasted prowesS as warriors.
 An American correspondent, re- ferred to the wanton slaughter per- mitted by the German commander, to which Foch laughingly replied:
 Did not your own General Grant believe that battles could not be won without sacrificing men?'
 That is true" m 1t t e d the American. 'If you would win you are obliged to sacrifice men"
 DO not misunderstood me" quickly replied the Generalissimo, twinkle in his eye. "It's the Ger mans that I sacrifice. I never throw away my own soldiers.
 Military Genius
 No wonder the poilus and the officers under this wonderful mili- tary genius obeyed him. Although taciturn and impetuous he always seemed to act with "clear thinking impulsiveness" following by dash and headlong attack that assured victory
 Speaking to group of officers one night, Foch is reported to have said:
 First find out your enemy's weak point and concentrate your blows there. That is a commonplace of tactics which is self-evident."
 But, General" broke in an of ficer of artillery" suppose your enemy has no weak points? That sometimes happens"
 Certainly" replied Foch, "and in that case you make weak point"
 Again and again he would quote Joseph de Maistre's aphorism, "a battle lost is battle which one be- lieves to have lost, for battles are not lost materially" And he would add: Battles therefore are lost morally. and it is morally, there fore, that they are won."
 Keynote to Career
 Thus the premier soldier gave the keynote to his successful career as fighter and leader of men. Given a good cause he believed his armies and himself to be invincible. For years before the struggle with the Central Powers began, Foch had been preaching preparedness" to France. He had been for four years Director of the Ecole de Guerre, Frances great school of war. He had been a subaltern- like Joffre-in the France-Prussian war of 1870.
 Foch's career could be summed up in the word prepare" Born october 2, 1851, at Tarbes, little city in the Pyranees, close to the Spanish border, his boyhood was not characterized by brilliancy as a student. In class of 70 at the Ecole Polytechnique, which he en- tered in 1871 just after the Franco Prussian war, he graduated 45th. 1 But he was hard worker with a wonderful memory and great per- sistence.
 He served for the next years as an artillery officer, passing through various garrisons until 1884 when he was admitted to the Ecole de Guerre as student.
