GENERAL FOCH.
Three years ago King George of
England visited the front and con
ferred the highest military dis
tinction in the form of an oader
within the gift of the British
crown the Urand Cross of the
Order of Hath on two French
men; Joli're and Foch. 1m
mediately the question was raised
"Who is Foch t"
America, not mindful of the
King 'a act is today asking the
same question. We ail know he
has been placed in command of
the allied troops but what has he
done before this!
General J of Ire says that Ferd
inand Foch is "the greatest strat
egist in Europe and the hum
blest." '
Foch is the one ,wlio at the
Alarne perceived that there must
be gap between the Prussian
guard and the Saxon army and he
gathered enough artilery to crush
the guard in the St. Geud marshes
and force a retreat.
At Yprea, he was the command
er who was in general control of
the allied troops uiuking the sue
cessful fight that prevented the
Germans from breaking through
to Calais.
Before the war he was director
of the war college, where he had
oi ucu to do with shaping the mil
itary viewa of many of the men
who are now commanding units of
the French armies. He ban
studied and re-studied the plana
and campaigns of Napoleau and
Caesar, He makea it a plan to
know his officers and his men. He
gets into personal touch with all
tvfcu the private to the .highest in
rank. He is a writer of no ineaq
ability, his two great books,
"Principals of War" and "Con,
duet of War" arc highly regard
ed by military men. The organ
of tha German general staff ranks
him as one of the few stratigists
of first class ability among the
allies.
In atature he is a slim man,
with a great deal of nervous ener
gy in his actions. In action,
though graceful, he is quiwk and
decisive. In temperament he is
somewhat Napoleonic, the dra
matic in war is for him secrecy
and suddenness, gigantic and dar
ing movements. Although they
were both born within a few miles
of each other in Southern France,
Foch has more of the dash and
nervousness and warmth of of the
Southern Latin than Joffre.

ty judge of I'olk county. We be
lieve our present judge is quali
fied for the office. We have
known him and believe he de
serves the consideration of the
voters of every section of the
county. We are not opposing oth
er candidates nor have we a word
to say against them. We do say,
however, that there are several
considerations to be taken in mind
in electing a county judge. First
he is quulil'ied ; second, he is honest
and then above all he is patriotic
and public spirited. Inspecting
qualifications there are two mat
ters to be considered s First there
is the probate side of the work
iwherein it requires a legal mind
and good judgement to keep and
maintain the estates and other
court mattera in good order; sec
ond, there is the administrative
department, wherein a man must
know values, know road building,
know bridge building and all the
other requirements of that na
ture. He makes the levin of the
taxes and it is through his efforts
mainly that your county 's finances
are handled. If he is a business
man, with a sense of justice and
fairness and does his duty, he
should he elected. From our
knowledge we say that it is our
opinion that Mr. Kirkpatrick is
(ualified.
B. 1. JONES
The editor of the Monitor has
known Mr. Jones for many years
His acquaintance first duted back
to the time ,wheu Independnee
was being discriminated against
by one of our larger cities, as were
other towns of the valley. He
was energetic, active and loyal
and came out in the open ami
called a spade a spade and did
much good in helping to bring
I'olk county to the front. We
therefore claim him as our candi
date as well as Lincoln county
claims him for theirs. We do not
believe there will be opposition to
11. F. Jones and it is right that
there should not be. He is capable
and efficient and has a large ac
quaintance and plenty of experi
ence and will represent this dis
trict as representative in a fair
and creditable manner. We say
support him.

Show Your Patriotism by Buying a
FORD
AUTOMOBILE
In Place of a More Expensive Car
Take the Difference and Buy a Liberty Bend
A Ford will do anything: the higher priced
cars will do and at much less cost. The man who
buys a high priced car is just as much a slacker
as the man who will not buy a Liberty Bond, or
contribute to the Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. funds.
There is no one who can not get along with
a Ford until after the war at least. Then if he
sees fit can trade in his Ford at a very little de
preciation towards a higher priced car, which will
itself cost nuch less after the war. You will then
have the use of the Ford car during this time.and
the Liberty Bond, together with its interest, will
more than buy this more elaborate car, and you
will, in the meantime have helped your Govern
ment win the war.
