FOCH AND OTHER SOLDIERS IN HISTORY. Newspapers everywhere are busy guessing at the place in the lists that will be assigned to Ferdinand Foch by the historians a half century or more hence. Of course it is agreed that it will take time to furnish perspective before authentic appraisals will | be possible. However, it is probable that estimates made now, ten years after the end of the war, will be generally more acceptable to historians than | were similar estimates following wars of the past. For instance it was near a half century after the end of the Civil War before pretended authority was generally prepared to acquiesce in the csu-‘ mate of Roosevelt that Lee “will undoubtedly rank as without sxception the greatest of all the great Captains that English-speaking people have blought forth” And that verdict, we believe, was not! universally agreed to be a just one until it was endorsed by the great British military historian, Major-General Sir Frederick Maurice in a recent book. However, people are not so partisan now as they were for the quarter century or more that | nearly every Northerner thought Lee greatly inferior as a soldier to Grant, Sherman and Sheridan. ent day judgments are based upon the facts rather | than upon the prejudices of those who write. Getting back to Foch, the Manchester Guardian, one of the ablest and most critical of the fine newspapers of England, has given the great leader of the Allies a place just below that of Bonaparte, Caesar and Hanibal and alongside Lee and Mal- borough. The Guardian says: The death of Ferdinand Foch may well be regarded as the end of an epoch, for it was his ideas, moral and technical, that dominated the military art in 1918 by reason of their consecration in victory. If he does not belong to that select band that includes Hannibal, Caesar, and Napoleon, he stands as near to them as Lee or Malborough and possibly nearer than Wellington, and is perhaps the greatest of that equally select band of professor-soldiers that includes Jack- son. His' principles of war were founded on patient work in the study. commanded men in action till called on to lead a corps in the greatest war in history, and he brought to it not merely moral and intellectual qualities of a very high order, but a mind profoundly steeped in the prin- ciples professed by the great masters of battle and a power of application that made his career one of almost undimmed victory. A great Frenchman and a great soldier, he has a secure place in world history. We shall not attempt to analyze this estimate of the immortal Foch, but revert again to the tribute from high English authority to two famous American Generals, Robert E. Lee and “Stonewall” Jackson. Gen. Maurice heretofore quoted one of the great- Pres- | He had not | est, if not, indeed, the greatst, living military his- torian and critic, does even better by Lee than the Manchester Guardian. He emdorses, as said, Roose- velt’s contention that Lee was the greatest English- speaking soldier, thus eliminating Marlborough, but he places him in that first galaxy that includes Hanibal, Caesar and Napoleon. Maurice says in closing his recently published “Robert E. Lee, the Soldier”: “Read and re-read,” said Napoleon, “the eighty-eight campaigns of Alexander, Han- nibal, Caesar, Gustavus, Turenne, Eugene and Frederick. Take them as your models, for it is the only means of becoming a great leader, and of mastering the secrets of the art of war.” To that select band of great commanders the name Robert E. Lee must be added. His exact precedence among them I will not attempt to determine, but that they have received him as a soldier worthy of their fellowship, I do not doubt Of course Napoleon could not include himself in the list, but none other disputes his right to head it. Why Napcleon omitted Scipio Afranicus from the names of the greatest warriors is difficult to understand, but that does not concern this dis-| | cussion. | Col on has already discovered that he is | polpular Alaska as well as elsewhere.

Special services were held in this city by Arch-| I bishop MecNicholas, who extolled the famed Mar- | shal, calling especial attention te his devotion to duty, to his God, his family and his country.

Not So Easy to Find “My wife is happy, she has found a beauty specialist who has agreed to lift her face.” “And you?” “Not so happy. I can't find any gage on my house.” THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1929 “No, I haven’t,” he retorted, I am getting darned tired of all my married friends taking me for a loan company.” More or Less True A woman wants the kind of hus- band that she can feel there is some excuse for being jealous when other women look at him, instead of just have the feeling they are wondering what kind of a trance ishe was in when she let him put a wedding ring on her finger. Husbands complain a lot about what trials and expense their wives are, but the fact of the matter is the average man couldn't any more zet along without his wife than the moon could shine without the sun. The woman who boasts that her husband makes so much that they don't have to confine themselves to a budget usually is 2 snob who couldn’t anymore keep a budget straight than she could make rain fall up. Back when women married for keeps they spent a lot of time in the kitchen because a man with a good digestion was easier to live with, now men get canned goods because wives can be just as happy living on alimony without them around.
