For the hundredth time in this war history is about to repeat itself. General Ferdinand Foch, command- é:in-chief of the allied armies, is pre- paring to throw all the forces at his command against the German line to save Paris. hey “It was Foch, éven more than “Papa” Joffre, who turned the German marc! on Paris into 'a rout at the Marne in 1914. Then he was only a French general at the head of an army of 120,000 men, opposing’ a German. force ot 200,000. “Now, the allies’ generalissimo—liter- ally “biggest general”—ocmmanding ap army estimated at 5,000,000 men, ie is awaiting his opportunity to re- eat his victory in the first Battle of e Marne. »Playing.a waiting game, falling back before the Germans and letting them @pend countless lives’ to gain a ‘few Miles of territory, Foch is carrying out the conception of modern warfare Which he himself expressed as ‘fol* lows: 4 ‘ 1° “T never throwaway my. own Bol- RELIED ON him “the ablest strategist in Eu- rope.” The man who is, destined to save Paris once more is not of French blood —despite the general impression that he is. He is a Basque. This means that he comes of the sturdy race in- habiting the Pyrenees Mouuntains, partly in Spain and partly in France. Foch is 67 years old—twice as old as Napoleon in the heyday of his success. He excelled in mathematics at the military school he attended, and was passionately fond of studying the Napoleonic wars. , Next to Na- polen, Caesar is his favorite jwarrior. At 19 he fought in the Franco-Prug- sian war, seeing. his, first service dur- ing the-stege of Paris. In 1878 he became a captain, and in 1895 a minor staff oficer. Two years later he was promoted to lieutenant neue and nade professor of strategy in the\Ecole de Guerre, the French West Point. +4n 1911’ Foch was-made ‘é division general and placed in command of the Eighth Army Corps at Brouges.

General Joffre was the leader of the French forces, nd Foch was in command in the sort of warfare. Foch not only achieves. victory, but does it with a spirit that intoxicates the popular imagination.

Von hluck’s Plan Foiled. Von 'Kluck, finding that his plans to morch into Paris had miscarried, turned to the east and redisposed his forces with the intention of driving through the French center. With ‘the Prussian guard and the Saxon army, @ total of 200,000 men, Von Kluck at- tacked: Foch and the Ninth French ar- my of only 120,060. The French wings recoiled under the terrific onslaught, and the center bore the principal weight of. the attack For five days Von Kluck battered { Foch’s litle army with ever increasing; force. ~ Finally, on Sept. 9, the crisis came. The French line was. breaking, but, the Germans. were pulling their dine further to the east, thus thinning the front before Foch’s center. Instantly Foch saw’ his opportunity. He sent to General Joffre this message which will live in history as long as General Grant’s' famous gecision to “fight ‘it ont’along this line if it takes ail summer”: | “My right has been driven in, my deft has been driven _in—therefore with all _that:! have left in my center f will attack.” Concentrating ‘his artillery on the ‘weakest point:in the German front, Foch threw ‘his’ army ‘against the foe ‘with such indomitable courage that the Germans’ fell)‘back in confusion, ’ From that day began the great retreat ‘from the.Marne. aves’ Day at Ypres.
