By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, March 21.—He was the foremost factor in the allied victory and with his passing has gone one of the greatest soldiers of all time. Thus commented former Vice President Charles G. Dawes yesterday on the death of Marshal Foch. Gen. Dawes, who was in charge of supplies for the A. E. P. in the World War, described the allied generalissimo as one.of the greatest figures of all his- tory and said his personality was an inspiration not only to the French Army, but to other allied armies as well. Unique Figure Among Alles. Gen. Dawes’ statement follows: “Marshal Foch was one of the [reut- ;Islt :oldun of lfll: tlme‘ dl}; “fi“dnt gh degree ose indispensible - tributes of military genius—initiative and capacity for immediate action in time of crisis. Of Foch as well as Napoleon it may be said, “Action, action, all is action.” Coupled with these quali- ties he combined the patience and in- dustry required for thorough prepara- tion for all possible emergency. He was | a unlque figure in the allied army. “So far as I know, no serjous criticism has ever been made of the strategy and handling of the allied armies as one army following the institution of the central command under Foch. He must be considered as a chief, indeed the/ foremost. factor in the eventual allied military success. Personality Charming. “His’ personality was a charming one. | Ordinarily a man of quiet and digni- | fled bnrlnx he a tremendous store of controlled nervous energy. At a time of military erisis his mind was always cold and quiet, but his person- ality sometimes became transformed. “One of the great figures of history has passed away. The affection 'hlch Foch inspired, nol only in the French Army, but in the other allied armies, was & tribute to a personality combin- | ing the strength and gentleness pos- sessed only by the very great. | “Millions of his comrades in the | American Army will today be bowed | in grief. They mourn him as a great friend and belcved commander, who has gone on his lut long march.” Doctor to Gycle Around World.

Literally hundreds of thousands of | Leglonnaires and citizens turned out in all principal cities to see and hear Marshal Foch.

New York gave him one of its typically famous re- ceptions. From there he started West- ward. All Kinds of Gifts. At Washington, Mo., Legionnaires, headed by the mayor, presented a dozen corn cob pipes to the marshal. The gifts in Missouri were but the ‘fore- runner of a strange collection from all parts of the country.

By the Associated Press. BELGRADE, Jugoslavia, March 21.— Normal, peaceful reiations between Bul- garia and Jugosiavia definitely were es- tablished yesterday. The two erstwhile Slav adversaries, through their peace delegates at Pirot, decided they no longer would lay their differences before the League of Nations Council, ambassadors or other European | powers, mut would settle their frontier | and other disputes directly between | themselves by means of special frontier | commissions. This move was considered in diplo- matic circles as a decisive, far-reaching step toward the establishment of en- during peace between these two Slavic states, which for half a century have been at swords’ points. ‘Two new buildings of ugm- collen for Women, Claremont, be opened next Fall will cost uoom COOLIDGE FELICITATES SCHOOLGIRL ON POEM Verse About Former President in | Magaszine Brings Letter Commend- ing Merit and Giving Advies.
