MERRIAM DENIES JOHNSON
LACKED OFFICE HELP
City Engineer Claims Lack of Or
ganization Is Responsible
for Situation.

The argument made by Comp
troller Hanford l.. Curtis that Clerk
George II. Johnson Of the depart
mcnt Of public works was unable to
handle his work properly because
he was not furnished with enough
held was refutcd today by City En-
ginecr Philip A. Merriam. who said
lack OF Office organization was re-
sponsible.
Engineer Merriam was called to a
conference at the office Of the mayor
and was asked to explain how more
than 100000 in back bills remained
on the books, a condition which has
resulted in an edict that johnson
must leave the city's employ. He
said he has repeatedly advised the
clerk to apportion his less impor-
tant duties among the two assistants
in the office. but that johnson at
tempted to carry more work than
he could efficiently do. Asked if ad-
ditional help would have avoided
the difficulty, Mr.. Merriam replied it
would not.
The entire matter will be thresh.
ed out at board meeting tomor-
row night. Meanwhile. Clerk John
son refuses to discuss the situation.
but has indicated he will make a
statement, his first, tomorrow.

Marshal Foch has been suffering
for several days from heart at
tack. necessitating complete rest.
(Signed) "Daverniere, Heitzboyer.

The news of the marshaIs Illness
had been kept secret and came as a
shock to France. Only members of
the family can gain admittance to
his home. the halls OF which are
filled with trophies Of his military
career. Only a. few close friends
learned of the illness when they
called to pay their customary visits
and were unable to see Foch. 1t Is
for their benefit that the physicians
arc issuing private bulletins.
Foch is still in active service on
the army lists but has devoted little
time to military affairs recently.
He has passed most of his time
lately seeking 10 strengthen his
health at a retreat In Brittany, near
MorlaiS. or resting at his Paris
home. His family is worried. be-
cause this Is the first serious illness
Of his life.
Foch is the idol Of France and
revered by all nations whose troops
fought under him during the World
war. He was considered one Of the
greatest military strategists in the
world. He was the hero of the
Marine. where his genius and deter
mination saved France from de-
struction. He is of q modest and re-
firing disposition. yet he command
ed the greatest force Of troops the
world has ever seen. In 1918. he had
the grim satisfaction OF sitting OPP
