Twelve years later, as Major Tech. he returned to the war college as an instructor. Later he won a colonelcy and in 1907 became a brigadier general. During his serv- ice as a teacher and later as com- mandant of Frances military school General Foch wrote a number of technical books. Two of these. works on the subject Of warfare, both of English and Italian. were entitled Principles of War" and The Con- duct of War"
 Major Robert M Johnson, L. s. A.. wrote of him: He was the great teacher who, more than any other man in the French army. created the mode of thought under which it's generals and staff entered the
 present war. Classes of young off,
 cers sat at Foch's feet at the Ecole de Guerre and carried away with them an unbounded devotion and faith. He was an enthusiast and his patriotism and his profession merg-
 cd into a splendid effort Of intellect in which his students delighted. One of his great ambitions was to per meate the French army with the war college doctrine Of the ofen-
 sive-the offensive at all costs" Foch was in comamnd Of the

 quarters at Nancy. at the beginning { Of the war in 1914, and Of all the

French soldier Marshal Joffre, his record was said to be the most con- sistent.
 In the first battle of the Marne, Foch's army of l20,000 men held the line from La Fere Champenoise to Mondement. They were opposed by 100000 Germans, including the Prussian Guard. the flower" of the German army. At times the pres French line must break. Aides came ur to Foch with reports that the right and left wings had been com- pelled to give ground.
 Tn that case there is nothing to do but to smash them in the center" calmly responded Foch, adding: "Order up the Moors."
 General Dubois with the Moroccan riflemen struck so hard in the cen- ter that the Prussian guard was thrown back into the St. Gond marshes. Retiring south of Chalons, connaissa nee that two German
 armies had failed to make a june ton and left gap in their line near
 Nitry-le Francais Immediately the
 French commander thrust a huge
 wedge Of infantry supported by ! heavy artillery into this gap and 1 had them well established before ! the Germans awoke to their over
 sight. The result was German panic and retreat in which the invaders suffered heavily.

Later Foch aided the British in through to Calais in their first blow at Ypres. In 1915 he directed the offensive al Artoie, which was a partial French success in spite Of inferior strength, and i'll 1916 he was partly responsible for the ad- vance in the battle of the Somme.
 Retired from active service in April 1917 at the age of 66 years. it was thought the fighting days of Foch were over. He then became one of the most important advisers of the French government and was the French military member of the supreme war council at Versailles when made chief.
 The complete subordinates of the British. French, Italian and Ameri- can commanders-Haig Petain, Pershing and Diaz-to the leader ship of Ferdinand Foch. was one of the remarkable achievements of the war. He said It touches me deep- ly.'
 This feeling was expressed by Marshal Foch when. after the sign ing of the armistice, General Persh- ing presented to him the American Distinguished Service Medal "as a token of the gratitude of the Ameri- can people for your achievements and for the great services you have

After his victory in the first battle of the Marne. Foch was promoted to be Grand General in the Legion of Honor. King George of England conferred upon him the Order of the Bath. He Was made Marshal Of France in August, 1918.
 Three Busy Years
 The next three years were busy ones for Marshal Foch. although he was less in the public eye, for great military leaders had stepped aside to make room for great statesmen and diplomats.
 Foch had tremendous part in the peace negotiations and in the many European problems which develop ed from them. His advice in military matters was necessary upon count less occasions while the Allies were whipping their plans for reconstruc- tion into shape, and he was called upon to draw up an offensive cam paign against Russia in 1920, when the Bolsheviki threatened to over run Poland and imperil the safety of France.
 October oe. 1921. he sailed for America to be the guest of the American Legion at it's national con- Nention in Kansas City, summoned for November 1. Upon his arrival in New York he was accorded a recep- ton which is said to have equalled that given Admiral Dewey when he returned from Manila.
 During his tour Of the United States he visited every important city from the Atlantic to the Pacific and received degrees from dozens of universities, including Harvard, Yale, Princeton. Georgetown and Colum- bia. He was distinguished partici- pant in the Armistice day cere- monies held at Arlington National Cemetery when Americas Unknown Soldier was laid 10 rest.
 November F, 1921. he returned to France after spending what he de- scribed as the most strenuous two months in his life.

Chief Executive declined to give an on
hand opinion.
Explaining he had had no time to
study what the White House subse-
Quently described as an export bounty"
the President reminded the Ave Sem
ators who visited him that such q plan
had not been considered in the draft
ing Of the farm relief plank by the Re-
publican national convention and that
1t had not been discussed in the presi-
Dental campaign.
Further Hearings Proposed.
There was q suggestion by one of the
Senators that the Senate agriculture
committee hold further hearings on the
subject 30 as to develop the views of
the farm organizations opposing the
plan. In this connection Mr.. Hoover
offered to have Government experts OBJ
tain for the committee information as
to how such a plan was operated in
other countries and to make their data
available to the committee.
Chairman McNary Of the committee.
who headed the delegation which called
upon Mr. Hoover, said that In all likli-
hood the committee before voting on
the McNary bill would wait until Mr..
Hoover's views had been finally deter
mined. j.,
In addition to Senator McNary the
delegation was composed of Senators
Norbeck of South Dakota and Capper

considered to contain ma jority against
