VICTORY WON BY FAITH, DECLARES MARSHAL FOCH "Stop Enemy Where You Find Him," Advice of General on Anniversary. (Br Aasootatad Praas) PARI3, March 22. Marshal Foch wiu reminded Friday that March 21 was the anniversary of the beginning of the creat German offensive toward Amiens, and waa asked by Jules Sauedwein, of the Mattln, to explain by what methods the Marshal had turned the offensive Into a German retreat. The allied generalissimo replied: "You ask me to tell you much In a few words. Victories are won by science, that la true, but also by faith. When one has faith one does not retire: one stops the enemy where one finds him. "You tell me that I gave victory to France. It waa our admirable soldiers who gave It. . I have but one merit that of never despairing." The writer naked the marshal if his strategic science was a doctrine that could be taught or if it rather was not that faculty "to divine and Improvise called genius." 8tratglo Science. "Strategic science," Bald Marshal Foch, "can bo acquired, but It is not a group of formulas or a set of principles. It is a knowledge which the chief must make part of himself so that It will guide all hla decisions. This mental discipline can be gained, by a study of history and a study of concrete examples. It must leave the mind of the commander open that it acts on accurate information and not

on preconceived ideas and hypothesis. But the most brilliant qualities of intelligence are nothing without the wll Ho victory. "The battle won is the battle in which one refuses to admit ones self beaten, because the army is to the

chief what the sword is to the soldier. Its value lies in the hand that wields it."

"Waiting on the Levee" the one that held back tne German tide might be the title of this picture of two Y.M.C.A. entertainers singing and playing for their fellow Americans at Verdun. Regular stages are luxuries in scores of places which the "Y" amusement system serves, and now that the necessity of dodging sheila Is ove. these concerts are regularly presented In surroundings that for pictureb?ueness beat anything that a theater's scenic artist ever Invented. The audience in this case Is out of the picture. It has orchestra seats that reach back In a semi-circle for a hundred feet about the stage seats composed of brick,

stone and bowlders of mortar. As the architect of this particular theater, the former Crown Prince provided plenty of room, and that is all that is needed for a successful show for the doughboys left In France. When this act waa over the young man and the girl, to cries of "Watch your 6tep," picked their way gingerly along the wall at their backs and made their exit at the door that can be seen behind them. Then the next entertainers came out of this doorway, crept along to the "stage," and the show was resumed. The pair in the picture are known on the Y.M.C.A. circuit as Huntington and Francis.

125 NEW TELEPHONES PUT IN SINCE JAN. 1

Since January 1 of this year 125 new telephones have been installed In Richmond. About three-fourths of these have been placed in residences. In 1918 more than 140 phones wer6 installed during the first three months of the year. Business houses ordered the first four this year. William Bailey, manager of the Richmond Home Telephone company, says the Increase in use of telephones has' been marked since the latest telephone directory was published, last October. The cause of this comes from no one fcource. Mr. Baily thinks. More people are coming to Richmond for residence; service men are returning and a large number of families had their telephones temporarily removed when their son went to war, explained Mr. Bailey. When the Richmond automatic telephones were first introduced into Richmond there were about 2,200 patrons. Today there are over 4,200 phones In the city.

Carl Sparks Sends Back Trophies of World War Walter Sparks has just received several souvenirs from his son, Carl, who Is stationed In Nasson, Germany. Among them are two captured German helmets with spiked tops, bearing the German war eagle in front. They evidently belonged to some official high In the German army. One is partially shattered in front. Among the collection is a well worn deck of German cards, a hand grenade, a canon shell, and four epaulets, one of which is saturated with blood. Carl Sparks enlisted June 27, 1918, In the hospital corps and was sent almost immediately to France. From there he wa3 sent to an American sector where he has seen active fighting. The souvenirs will be on display in a store on Main street.

Provide for Installment Bond Payments of Soldiers (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON', March 22. Soma means of transferring liberty bond3 Installment payment accounts of discharged soldiers to banks where th-s lubscnbers can continue payments in civil life, are under discussion between the war department and the treasury. The action is prompted by the forced cancellation of millions of dollars of subscriptions made by soldiers who on discharge find it impossible to pay the entire balance on their accounts at once. Consequently they are compelled to abandon their subscriptions and to accept a refund of the Installment payments which piready have been taken from their monthly pay. To the extent that subscriptions are cancelled the total of the fourth loan Is cut down. Soldiers subscribed $30,000,000 to that loan and thousands on discharge have cancelled subscriptions. In many cases men have been given a bond of smaller denomination than was ordered because it was within the aggregate of installments paid, with adjustment of the balance.

T. P. A. Notes

)

In spite of the rain Saturday, one of the nicest gatherings thajj ever assembled on a like occasion was present in the T. P. A. rooms on North Ninth street at the reception

and entertainment for the ladies and returned soldier members. Something near one hundred members were there and enjoyed the entertainment that had been prepared by the committee. The musical part of the pro

gram was carried out by Miss Mildred !

Schalk, Miss Ruth Scott, and Mrs. piano, Miss Scott, the violin, and Mrs. Bartel, solos, Miss Rorothy Lebo recitations. A most instructive part of the program was the talk given by Bernard Knollenberg on his experiences during the war, in the Island of Hawaii and the city of Honolulu. After this part of the evenings enjoyment, refreshments were served in the billiard room by Mr. Bullerdick, Mr. Zwissler and Mr. Morris, after which all enjoyed a social time, chatting and listening to the many fine records run by "Daddy" Kramer on the phonograph.

diana Division T. P. A. Annual convention at Indianapolis, May 2 and 3. There seems now no doubt but that the Post's entire allotment will attend 17 delegates and 17 alternates.

"Took" seemed greatly pleased for some reason or other at the many expressions from our visiting ladies, the night of the reception, of the condition of our club rooms, this would indicate that he might have been instrumental in placing them in such condition as to call forth this comment, if so Mr. "Took" please accept, also, our thanks and high appreciation for this service. Brother Wm. H. Bartel, Jr., and wife have returned from a refreshing trip to the sunny southland Sa.vanah, Atlanta, Jacksonville and other southern cities. Tonight Is our annual election night and it is hoped that members will take a live interest in the selection of officers who are to handle the affairs of Post C for the coming year, and also those who will represent us at the T. P. A. National convention at New Orleans the week of June 9. The officers who will conduct the election are: Clerks L. C. Niewoehner and J. L. Wilcox; Judges R. O. Allen and Chas. O. Tooker.

It is most encouraging to note the Interest Post C members are taking In being fully represented at the In-

runKins name rrom France, Wears Wound Stripe on His Paw (By Associated Press NEW YORK, March 21. "Punkins," a denizen of the Baltimore wharves

a year ago, who barked at the Twentyseventh engineers as they embarked

for France, and thereupon became a member of the outfit, came back to

day on the Dakotan, wearing a wound stripe on the right front paw sleeve and a service stripe on the left, v "Punkins" wears the regulation olive drab, the division insignia, and

most everything but the steel helmet. He once wore a gas mask, but found it interfered with biting Germans. As a result he was gassed. . A certain major at Hoboken yesterday saw the dog "and gave orders that it immediately be destroyed. "Punkins" barked disrespect of orders. The major went for him. A moment later from the other end of the line came the disrespectful bark. The major rushed there. No dog was vlsble, but barks were heard everywhere. The whole regment was barking in its sleeve. The major gave it up and departed. Then from a suitcase the dog, his head bandaged to keep him silent, wa3 produced. Not once had "Punkins" barked at the major, yet the whole

pier had sounded with barks. "Punkins" is going to San Francisco with Pivate W. H. Hill, 'and the Twenty-seventh engineers wishes to announce that it will see he gets safely there

Charter Member Brother John B. Hegger left Wednesday morning last, for a week or ten days rest at a sanitarium ' at Martinsville. It is to be hoped that he will return in the few days fully refreshed and recuperated. Five- members have entered the friendly contest for delegates to the T. P. A. National Convention at New Orleans the week of June 9 John P. Highley, Thos, Tarkelson, Wm. Kramer, A. E. Jones and C. B. Beck The two receiving the highest number of votes will go as delegates with Secreretary Hasty (who goes by virtue of his office) and the other three will be the alternates. All members who have been heard : to express themselves are of the belief that with the selection of either two of these men as delegates, Post C may feel proud if its representatives and can also anticipate a full and interesting report of the happenings at this convention, upon their returnj Louis F. Lautrup, Indlanapjolis, Ind., with the Garralt-Callahan Co., Chicago, and Lawrence B. Ely, of Post A, representing the Lawrence Freedman Co., furniture people of Grand Rapids, Mich., wera welcome callers at our rooms, Thursday evening last.

Next Saturday night is Post C regular meeting night and the installation night for officers that are elected at our annual election tonight. It is to be hoped that we will have a full attendance of members to take part in this work. "FILLER."
