Germany's idol von Hindcnb'.irc,
at last had met his master. The.
Teutonic juuneniuut of infamy and
injustice, the "wurvmaohtne" which
was 40 years or moreMn building, was
about to be cast upon the scrap heap.
The I'yrennean mountaineer, "lithe as
panther, with the winUlne noao of H i
conquerer, a man five feed six inches'
tall, 16,1 pounds in weight and U7
years old," was to slr:ko the. final
Mow that was to hurl a dozen kings
from their thrones and blast a new
path for the pioneers of democracy.
Three months or more alter taking
the supreme command, Marshal Koch
maintained an unbroken front o,t
more than .laO miles from the North
Sea to Iielfort. He awaited the time,
to strike; the arrival of American re-1
inforcements nave him numerical sn-j

that was to end in (he complete col-)

Koch gave (he Germans no rert but

With the llrilish, French and Uot

toward tho Knglish-Glinnnel: with the
.French and Americans ho blocked the
way to Paris. Then the Germans be
gan to retire and, following the
American victory at C'hauteau Thier
ry, the long battle line from Switzer
land to the sea receded daily uorth
ward and eastward toward the Rhine.
Knch of the five big battles that
were fought under Koch's direction
in the closing days of the wan was so
timed and pluced that each arjny sup
ported the other, till forming an in
dispensable part of the whole and all
working as smoothly as the parts of a

in all history, in which Ihe allies re
cai'iuretl in three weeks ground that
had com the Germans four months of
hardship and superhuman struggle
as well as I. One. in ten lo attain.
was ai iis height on November ''.
Its status w as somewhat as follows:
The American uruiy, with Sedan as
its objective, was ailatklng on both
side.) of the Meuse. One French army
was battling, in conjunction with the
Americans, left of the Aisue. for Me2
leres. Another French and Hritish army
v.as presssiug forward between .the
river Oise and the city of Valencien
nes, with .Mauheuge and Mons us their
goal. The Hritish and Uelgians were
driving ahead in, Flanders lor Tour
nal ami Ghent. South of the Oise, be
tween that river and the Aisne, an
other French army battored ils way
toward tho Important railway junc
tions o:' Vervis and liiisou. iioughly,
ibis constituted Foch's "vise" in
which the enemy was being squeezed.'
The Germans held on desperately
but, even "as the stars in their course
fought against Sisera" were forced to
yield. And then came thai eventful
day when tho enemy, practically
routed hy the superior strategy of
Koch, sent its embassage praying for
an armistice. It was (hen, according
lo a correspondent for tho Paris
Alatiii, that .Matthias Frzherger. one
of the German plenipotentiaries, ex
tending his hand to Koch, declared:
"liiarshal, we are at your mercy.
Our reserves of. men and ammunition
are exhausted and we can no longer
continued tho war."
Tho famous "Iliudcnburg line,"
supposed by many military exports to
ho Impregnable and which not a lew
beliovi-U eventually,' would bring
about a stalemate, had been pierced
by Foch's legions. The German dyke
was broken. The enemy, moreover,
had suffered tremendous loss anil the
uilles' casualties were comparatively
llghl. Koch's speed and decision, his
scientific calculation, were too much
tor the Germans, despite their boust
ed prowess as warriors.
An American correspondent, refer
red to tho wanton slaughter permit
ted hy thu German, commander, to
.which Foch laughingly replied:
"Did not your own Geueral Grant
hejieve that battles conld not be won
without sacrificing men?"
"That is true," admitted the Amer
ican. "If you would win you are
obliged to sacrifice men."
"Do not misunderstand me," quick
ly replied the generalissimo, a txiu
kle in his eye. "It's tho Germans
that I sacrifice. 1 never throw away
my own soldiers."
No wonder the poilua and the offi
cers under this wonderful military
genius obeyed him. Although taci
turn and impetuous he always seem
ed to act with "clear thinking impul
siveness" following by the dash und
headlong attuck that assured victoryJ
Speaking to a group of officers one
night Koch is reported to have said:
"First rind out your eneiny's weak
point and concentrate your bjows
there. That Is a commonplace of
tactics which is self evident."
"Hut, general," broke in un ofTlcer
of artillery," suppose your enemy has
no weak points? That sometimes
happens."
"Certainly," replied Foch. "And
In that case you mulie a weak point."
Again and again he would quote
Joseph do Muistre's aphorism, "'a
battle lost is a battle which one be
lieves to have lost, for battles uro not
lost materially." And ho would add:
"Unities therefore are lost morally,
and It Is morally, therefore, that they
are won." .
Tlrus tho premier soldier gave the
keynoto to his successful career as a
fighter and leader of men. Given a
good cause he believed his armies und
himself to be invincible. For years
before tho struggle with the Central
Powers began, Koch '..-ad been preach
ing "preparedness" to France. Ho
had been for four years director of
the Kcole do Guerre, France's great
school of war. He had been a subal
tern like Joffre in the Franco
Prussian war of 1 S70.
