They argued then and they continue to argue that the German armies were not defeated in the field. Their collapse was the result of non-military factors, chief of them being the disillusionment of -.he German people and their unwil- linb es?; to undergo further priva- tions. The blockade had something do with this. President Wilson's Was Ferdinand Foch a great mili- tary genius? The question is raised by the very general denial in the Ger- man press that he can claim to rank with Caesar, the Duke of Marlbor- ough, Frederick the Great or Napol- eon. The Allies have always suppos- ed him to have been a great soldier, but we suppose that as a matter of fact there cannot be more thana speeches had also something to do dozen living men competent to give with it, and we have heard a thou- ao opinion that might well record the sand times that if the German people verdict of history.

They would then make the necessary anodifications brought about by the changed conditions of warfare and carefully advance their opinions. The present writer disclaims any such qualifications for the task, and merely suggests that the custom is to ascribe great military gifts to the leaders who bring off great military victories. The winner is the cham- pion, and Foch is the champion of mcdern warfare, waged on a world- wide scale, and will continue to be re- garded as the champion until another such world war is waged under con - He continued his sledge -hammer at- tacks along the front, and they con- tinued to grow stronger because fresh American troops were being poured into the ranks of the Allies. He had, as one critic says, all the trumps in his hand and his task was much light- er than the task of either Hindenburg or Ludendorff. Most of them seem to concentratt their remarks upon the fighting in the summer and autumn of 1918, and of course that spans most of the time when Foch was in supreme command of the Allies. If they were willing to see his true dations approximating those under stature as a military leader they which he fought. • Before the world might profitably have reviewed his wear the Russo-Japanese conflict was activities in the earlier part of the accepted as the first great modern war, and noted the steps by which he war, but all lessons that might have rose to his supreme position. been learned by the Russo-Japanese war could have been absorbed in the first fortnight of the later conflict. After that Russo-Japanese standards became as obsolete,' as the standards of the Peninsular campaigns of the Duke of Wellington. Even the fac- tors which remained constant were multiplied upon an enormous scale, and the struggle could not be more usefully compared than a fight with penknives could be compared with a fight.with broadswords. The comment of the German press, enterprisingly collected by the New York Herald -Tribune, shows a mark- - ped bitterness to Foch. There is not much gallantry in the newspaper ob- servations. no hailing of a great op- ponent. Foch instead is belittled as a military man conspicuously lacking in stature and is also anathematized as a bitter foe of Germany. We might observe that to be a bitter foe of Germany is no crime, nor in a sol- dier who fought Germany for more than four years, most of the time on his native soil is it an offence against good taste. We are surprised that the German press has not been able KEEP YOUR BABY 'HAPPY AND WELL CUTTEN, OF GUELPH, GREAT MARKET LEADER Mr. Arthur W. Cutten, of Chicago, formerly of Guelph, being an extreme- ly reticent man, the public does not know how he has been faring in the recent ups and downs of the stock market. Probably he has not done so badly. One of his specialties is buy- ing stocks when they are low, which combines happily with his other spec- ialty of selling them when they are high. He has had plenty of oppor- tunities in the past few weeks to give full play to both hobbies, and if his calculations have been right, as they have been so often in the past, Mr. Cutten need not care whether stocks are high or low at the mom- ent. He has worked on the principle that stocks are made to sell just as well as to buy, and though most of his coups have been the result of low buying and then a careful hoisting up of the price, in the past he has not held on too long. Of course, he has made his miscalculations as other men have done, but on the whale he has been right. Though rated as a bull he is known to be a conservative. one. Mr. Cutten has never broken the ties of affection which bind him to Guelph, where he spent his boyhood nearly half a century ago. He is spending money to provide his native village with a great hotel, a golf links -and a playground and community cen- tre which many larger cities might well envy. Mr. Cutten is as reticent about his benevolence as about his business activities, and this reticence, we suspect,is somewhat different from a similar reticence often noted in rich men. They do not want it known what they give for fear they will be asked to give more. Mr. Cutten, we should judge, early learned the lesson of saying NO, and the fact that a dozen other cities like Guelph might invite him to become their leading pa- tron so far as philanthropies are con- eerned would not disturb him. Par- ticularly pleasant are the memories of Mr. Cutton of St. George's Church, where for many years Mr. H. C. Scho- field, who represents St. George's di- vision of Toronto in the Ontario Leg- islature, was a warden. Here Mr. Cutten learned the cate- chism to whose wisdom he ascribes much of his success in the wheat pit and stock market. Here, more than two years ago, he had installed a set of chimes imported from England. They were made to Mr. Cutten's order by the same firm which made a set for John D. Rockefeller. When news of his benefaction was made public a reporter found Mr. Cutten in the office ef one of his favorite brokers and ask- ed him about it. He was visibly em - harassed and said, "Oh, I dan't want anything said about that. It was just an insignificant gift. I only paid $30,000 for the chimes and was, glad' to do that little bit." Mr. Cutten's dislike of publicity was manifested in 1925 when it was revealed that he was the largest payer of income tax in the city of Chicago. This fact came to light when the newspapers published the names of the important income taxpayers. "It's nobody's business how much I make during 'the year nor how I make it," said Mr. Cutten. "It is of interest to only a flock of gos- sips riding down on the train in the morning. The law is a brazen viola- tion of personal righter and should be repealed." As a matter of feet, the law was repealed, and the gossips now are deprived of solid foundation " for their speculations about a man's wealth. Mr. Cutten has what is called a poker face. He can be seen glanc- ing at the tape when the market is in an uproar but nobody can judge from his expression whether he is pleased or nervous. He w611 not talk about his business, but as far as a discussion of the weather is concerned he is one of the most engaging eonvevsational- fists in the Chicago Stock Exchange. Judgment and neve are the two essential qualities for success in spec- ularbien, aenotdbng to Mr. Cutten, The declares that the general public has Every mother wishes her child or children to be well and happy; to be bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked boys and girls.

All prudent mothers constantly keep •at hand the means of aiding their little ones when sickness comes suddenly—as it generally does in the case of children. In every home where `here are infants and young children Baby's Own Tablets should be found. Read what Mrs. Mary Hill, Centre Dummer, Ont., says concerning these Tablets:—"I am the ri other of six •hildren and would not be without Baby's Own Tablets for little ones." Baby's Own Tablets are a mild but thorough laxative which regular the towels and sweeten the stomach and thus break up colds and simple fever, banish constipation and indigestion to extract from the cucumber of the hitter +erne that Foch imposed at and allay the irritation accompanying Versailles, the sunshine of a complithe cutting of teeth. They are abso- - ment in his fear of Germany, his a- bounding faith in her military prow- ess and recuperative power,. One writer points out that Foch was able to bring about no such completeness of disaster to his enemy as was pro- duced by Wellington ---should we say with the assistance of Blucher?—at the battle of Waterloo. It is of course one thing to bring about complete rout of an army in the field and quite another thing to bring about the com- plete collapse of s whole nation. If some of the more bloodthirsty of the allied general's and noliticians had had their way Foch's triumph might have been as complete as anyone could 'have wished. A few months' mili- tary onarations in Germany would have sufficed.

Now Gen, von Seeekt may be remembered as one of the ci3ief German strategists in the world war, the roan who laid the plans whereby Mackensen crush- ed 'itoumania. When Gerreany be- came a republic, von Seeckt was one of the few surviving generals of acknowledged capacity who could be trusted with the task of building up Germany's new army in accord with the treaty of Versailles. He was ap- pointed commander-in-chief of the lteichswehr, an appointment which was very distasteful to France, where he was regarded as the typirai Prose sian militarist. It is said that great pressure was brought upon the Ger- man government to remove him, but he remained until his own indiscre- tion in permitting the oldest son of the former Crown Prince to partici- pate in army manoeuvres cause an irresistible public demand for his re- tirement. Mobility, in the view of this expert will be the chief qualification of the successful army of the future. In cer- tain geographical conditions this can only be obtained by cavalry, since for certain operations motor , transport will be found impossible. No scheme has yet been devised which will per- mit motor lorries to carry soldiers through swamps and over a thickly - wooded or l oulder-strewin country-. side. Ther€:'ore he points to the horse. This certainly was not the view of the military experts who drew up the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, ong of which provides that Germany for the future shall have three cavalry divisions for sev- en of infantry. Von Seeckt thinks that this proportion is what may very probably be required for the next war, and that his country's enemies may have unintentionally presented them with a very useful military formula. In the 'next war, which, like all other military experts, he firmly believes in, the first blows will be struck by the air forces. But these blows will have moral rather than physical resnits. Like all other wars the next will he decided by the nudity of the soldier fighting on foot. 0 azi gaeesla9 involved in the next war. Similarly, France, whose modern army is said to be too large to permit of the neces- sary flexibility which will be demand- ed, will be under a corresponding handicap. Speaking of 'the last war, Gen. von Seeckt admits that Germany made three vital, mistakes. Icer man -power was not ear -II -used to the best ad- vantage because of some. laxness in carrying out military training. She did not have the personnel or the materials at hand to effect an imme- diate mobilization of industry for military purposes. Her third mistake I was her decision to stake everything upon winnieg the war in a few weeks, despite the warnings of such an au- thority as Count Schlieffen, who call- ed attention to the possibility of a no business to play round the pit or in the stock market. "There are so many wrecks down there in the pit. If I had a son I would not let him touch it with a ten -foot pole. People call themselves brokers, but they are only part of that—the `broke' part. Not more than ten per cent. of men who go into grain remain. The rest pass out and those who stay are broke brokers mostly. Their failing seems to be lack of nerve. ' They seem to lose it when they handle their own money. So they have to trade for others on a salary.” It was as a grain speculator that Mr. Outten first be- came renowned. Two years ago he was supposed to have made between $50,000,0001 and $75,000,000 in the grain pit. Then because of what he regarded as vexatious restrictions im- posed upon traders he withdrew and gave his attention to industrials. He is ndylt qupposed to be one of the leaders 'of the group called. "The Big Ten," composed of some of the most daring and powerful speculators in the United States. Some of the stocks which are known to have con- siderably augmented his fortune are 13aldwin Locomotive, Montgomery Ward, Sinclair Oil, Union Carbide, Radio, International Harvester, Unit - ''d States Steel, Westinghouse, Texas Corporation, Simmons Bed and Schulte Stores. He bought Mont- gomery Ward about 56 and when it reached 420 his. paper profits were ?stimated to be in the neighborhood of $35,000,000. Associated with the Fisher Brothers of Detroit he began buying into Baldwin Locomotive. On the eve of the annual meeting it was hinted that there might be some ^hanger on the board. The morning it was held this was denied by Sam- nel Vauclain. the president. Later in the day Mr. Cutten became a direc- tor. Practically the same thing hap- nened to Sinclair Oil. Nobody seem- ed to know what was happening, but again Mr. Cutten became a director. When we say nobody, we except one. Mr. Cutten knew what was happen- ing anis what was about to happen. It is a gift that has richly rewarded him. SOME NEW SANDWICHES The recipes here given are merely suggestions; they can be altered ac - carding to the materials that are on hand.

Wars are fought by soldiers but they are made by statesmen. War comes when statecraft becomes bankrupt, and be- cause the statesmen can find no other way out of their difficulties. He says that Bismarck built up the German army because he needed it in carry- ing out his policies. He would ask his generals as to what size army was necessary to reach his goal, and would be guided by their advice. Lat- er :n German statesmen asked the military experts for plans should Germany be involved in a general European war and these plans were all based on the assumption that Ger- many would be fighting on two fronts: The invasion of Belgium was an in- tegral part of all of them. Further paying his compliments to the states- men, Gen. von Seeckt says that since the next war will not be fought on any narrow front but may expose the whole population to danger through air raids. politicians may be rather more careful about casting the die. He thinks that the fact that prime minister may be just as likely to be killed by a bomb as a common sol- dier may make the prime minister just as reluctant to declare a war as the private soldier would be. war lasting soften years. The genera believes that Britain's rapid develop- ment, both in placing an army in the field and swinging the country's in- austries into line to back that arm's, was one of the most remarkable feats in the whole war. He pays tribute to Lord Kitchener for this achieve- ment.

His idea is that the fighting will be done by relatively small bodies of highly mobile troops who are experts in the use of mechanical devices. In- vasion will be prevented by soldiers who can be placed quickly at threat- ened,points. The reason why the ac- tual fighting will be done by much smaller bodies of soldiers than in the last war is because of mechanical de- velopment. War is becoming me- chanized, and it will be found prob- ably that ten workmen in the rear will be required to produce the huge amount of materials that one will ex- pend at the front.
