"A Christian Warrior Faces
His God

Field Marshal Ferdinand Foch, an immortal of
history, among the warriors of all the civilizations, is
dead. He was a Christian warrior who believed in
peace and good will to all mankind. He employed
the tactics Of Napoleon in the world war and he won
the victory when the thrones Of the HapSburgs and
Hohenzollerns first crumbled and then fell. He was
not a man Of ambition. He did not desire to be
known as a great conqueror. HI fought for his flag
and the preservation Of France. He was as modest
q peace as he was great in war as the fighting COM
unander-in-chief of the greatest armies ever organized
eince the beginning Of time. Imperishable fame was
his. News Of his death brought tribute from the
rulers of all nations and the military chieftains of all
nations.
H was the greatest IAN in the greatest war the
world has ever known a. his services were not only
services to France but '} he whole world" was the
tribute paid to the Ii If France by the fighting
admiral Of the British Wy. And former Secretary
of War Newton Z. Bak.., who knew Foch in France
as well as America, said it all in the following words:
sField Marshal Foch was the most brilliant soldier
produced by the World war on either side. He was
q great patriot and a deeply religious man. With q
thorough practical view of world politics he combined
the character of deep devotion TO high ideals. This
made him in all purposes one Of the most distin-
guished men of all ages"
Napoleon, the Corsican warrior, conquered half
the world and died a lonely exile on the island Of st.
Helena. Foch remapped the Europe that Napoleon
had dominated in the days of his power and then
sheathed his sword forever.
Napoleon was a DESTROYER Of France; Foch was the
eavior Of his country. He had no ambition to rule.
He used his sword to make the world safe for democ-
racy as well as democracy safe for the world.

Local Station Gets
Permit To Use 1000
Watts In Day Hours

Station KWWG, hitherto a 500
watt station, has been granted au-
thority by the federal radio COM
mission to use 1000 watts during
the daylight hours, according to a
notice received by the station.
The local radiophine asked for
more power during Gay hours due
to the prevalence of static in the
Valley in the summer months. At
night they will revert to their Gus
tomary 500 watts.
Operators Of the station said
Monday that it was probable the
station would not begin to use the
1000 watts for some time, as the
necessary equipment was not at
hand.
