E. F. landed at Cherbourg recently. “1 have nothing to say,” General «Pershing told reporters, “and if I |did have something to say I should | prefer to say nothing.” Interviewers pointed out that two entire pages of Clemenceau's book |“a leurs and Miseries of Vie- {tory” described the state of affairs |behind the American Army’s lines in the Argonne, as “chaos” but General Pershing refused to com- ment A fev duys after Marshal Foch {died. a book wriiten by M.

LDawes Denies Reports ‘He Is Leaving London Soon for U. S. LONDON, May 17. — American Ambassador Charles G. Dawes, commenting on reports that he (will soon return to Washington, said he had not applied for a leave to visit the United States until |next September when he was going there in connection with the Chl- cago Exposition. He said he would return to London, comme read: “Foch himself de- mande upreme command of the Allied Armies, and suddenly §trick- en with paralysis of the will power failled to exercise it. He refused in September, 1918, to give Persh-! ing the orders imperiously neces- to the good of the country. I had to enjoin him in writing to enforce his authority.” Foch as quoted by Recouly had already replied to this attack: “I never so much sought to com- mand as I did to bring those around me to concur with my ideas. To command is nothing; what is re- quired is to understand the char- acter of those you are dealing with | and to make yourself understood by | them. To understand one an-| other, that’s the whole secret of life.” | ©One commentator, rather melan- tcholy, says: “Foch and Clemenceau never understood one another an< there is the whole secret.” Some of the amenities exchanged v the Commandcr-in-Chief {of the Allied Armies and the French iWar Premier are in the following ' order [ Foch: “Clemenceau is golng to the United States to whimper and sentimentalize, like the old dotard he is” This is alleged to \have been said when the Tiger visited the United States during the French and American debt controversy. Clemenceau: “Foch was an subordinate soldier.” Out of the flood of comment which this post-mortem duel is| creating in France, there emerges| a general feeling of regret that such a situation should have arlsen. Poincare summed it up by say-| ing that Foch and Clemenceau “both greatly served their country, and in time, this alone will be re-) membered.” i | | in- Frederick J.
