VICTORY M WON BY OFFENSIVE.
Foeh Declares Army Having Its Re
nerves for Opportune Moment.
London, June 9.?That battles can
be von in the end only be the army
which takes the offensive is the significant
declaration made by Gen.
Foeh, conimandev-inchief of the Allies,
in an important article contributed
by him to the weekly Journal.
The Field, in which he discusses the
problem of the soldier and the way
to vistory. *
"Modern warfare to arrive at its
end and to impose its will on the enemy,"
says Gen. Foeh. "recornizeR
only one means?destruction or the
enemy's organized forces.
"War undertakes and prepares
this destruction by battle which
brings about the overthrow or the
adversary, disorganizes his command
destroys his discipline, and nullities
his units as tar as their righting is
concerned.
"Our first axiom must be that to
completely achieve its object, a battle
must not be purely defensive. A
purely defensive battle, even well
conducted, does not result in a victor
and vanquished. It is simply a
game that must be begun over again.
"From this it is an obvious corollary
that an ofrensive, whether start
ed at the beginning of an action or
whether it follows the defensive can
only give results and In consequence
must always lie adopted at the fin
ish.
"To maintain our position is not
synonymous with being victorious
and even prepares for a defeat. If we
remain where we are and do not pass
to the offensive to fix the direction
of attack to guard against the plans
of the enemy and prevent him from
carrying out the same maneuver, we
must undertake to carry on p.nd sustain
numerous combats.' each with
determined aim.
"But since there remains no doubt
that decisive attacks is the verv kev
stone of a battle, ail other actions
which make up a battle must be envisaged,
considered, organized, provided
with forces in the measure in
which they will prepare, facilitate
and guarantee development of a de-<
cisive attack characterized by its
mass, its surprise, its speed, and for
which, in consequence, it is essential
that there shall be the maximum reserve
force possible of troops of manoeuvre.
"The reserve?that is to sa? the
prepared bludgeon ? is orqAiizcd
and kept carefully instructed^n execute
the single act of battl9from
which results are expected, namely,
the decisive attack.
"Reserves must be husbanded with
the most extreme parsimony, so that
tne bludgeon may be strong enough

The Plodder.
(By George Matthew Adams.)
A few flags ought to be run up for
the Plodders-?the world's stake dri-;
vers.
I was talking with a noted Physi-'
cian the other day, a classmate of ;
the great Mayo brothers to whose j
hospital in a little town in Minneso- i
ta, named Rochester, already travelers
from all parts of the world, in
need of mending, have beaten u'
path.
"It waB fifteen years after leaving
college that I first learned that '
these boys were classmates of mine,"
my friend remarked. "Were they
brilliant while in school? I uslced.
"Oh, no they were just ploddershonest,
conscientious workers!"
"The most brilliant man in our
class," he continued, 'died the othei
day in a little town in the West?a
'town of 500 people!"
Now, Rochester, Minnesota, is a
("little town." It has but two rail- ,
j roads and very poor ones at that, I
: am told. And yet, no offer of fame i
i or money have ever been able to
i lead or to tempt the Mayp brothers '
! from their town. Even high titles of j
1 distinction by foreign governments |
! have been offered these workers if
I hey would but forsake their little
; town.
! But the Mayo brothers are too big
to move around or to pay attention
to anything but the wonderful business
of helping and healing that they
have built up.
What a tribute to the Plodder!
Also, what a tribute to efficient work
well performed.
Ploddery is greater than genius.

; An Abuse of
I die Telephone
By F. A. MITCHELL
> (Copyright. 1*17. Wsotern Newspaper Union.)
S
k "I'll cull you up about nine o'clock
and let you know the result."
f "You can't call me up because I
, have no telephone In my house."
"No telephone! Why, I supposed
t every house had a telephone nowa5
days."
"Mine hasn't. It had one and I had
It taken out"
"Why so?"
"Well, there's a little story about it.
: If you care to hear It, I'll tell It to
j you. You know, I live out at Hlbtou,
! un hour's ride from the city. When I
j was first married, my wife was alone
| all day, I being In town at business,
so we concluded to put in a telephone
so thnt she could call me up ouce In
j a while to break her loneliness, or if
anything unusual occurred.
"Well, the first thing to be communicated
was, *1 caught the mouse
I set the trap for; what shall I do
with It?' The next thing to be communicated
was, 'Someone Is ill in the
house opposite; the doctor's convey!
ance is standing before the door.*
Then she called me up to ask ine to
j bring her a sjmjo! of thread when I
I came out in the evening. I must wulk
six blocks to a store where I could
buy the kind she wanted, and she
could get it by walking two blocks, or
send for it by telephone. I told her
I to do this and she said she didn't like
I to ask the storekeeper to send so small
' a package costing only two cents. It
' was the same with an yeast cake.
But all this was nothing to what
; happened one night when 1 stayed in
| town tuking an account of stock. At
ten o'clock I was rung up and iny wife 1
| eaid: To going to bed, dear. It's
| awful to think that you won't he at
i home till tomorrow evening?' I tried
' to cheer her by promising to go
home early the next evening, and after
| telephoning half a dozen kisses I
hung up the receiver and continued
my work. Ten minutes later I wus!
called again:
" 'Reginal! Oh Reginald I*
" 'What Is It, dear?'
" 'I hear sounds below. Someone Is
trying to break into the house.'
"What could I do? I couldn't ask
my wife to go down and face a robber.
I asked her what the sounds were like
and she said they were like those
made by someone boring.
"I now really became frightened
myself. I was not so much afraid ol
burglars attacking my wife; for I
knew that she had her bedroom door
I locked and furniture heaped against
It. What I feared was that she would
be frightened to death. However, I
must plan for her.
I "I called a council of those working
I with me In stock taking, stating that
I my wife was locked In her room at
I home while burglars were below bor
j i lng In the door, doubtless Intending |
I to make a hole to put in an arm to '
: remove the chain und open the door.
I All voted it a complicated case. It |
} was suggested that I telephone the i
' police at Hilton to go tit once to my
house, surround it and capture the
burglar. I wondered that I had not
thought of this plan myself, for it j
was very simple, and a telephone mes-,
age from me from the city would be
I as effective us from my wife in Hilton.
I "I called up the police in Hilton
i and told them to go at once to my
house, where they would find someone
trying to bore his way in. The
man at the desk said that burglars
didn't reully efTect entrance in that
way, but he would send some men
right over.
"While awaiting the result my wife
telephoned me that she had located
the boring. It was at the door of a
; storm shed which wus held closed by
an iron hook. I thought that any
: burglar who planned to effect an en!
trance to my house there was a fool.
I A ftar nnhn/ilri ncr tha atnrm Hnnr ha
would have to open the door within,
j which was protected by an excellent
lock.
"It was not long before I received
I word from the police at Hilton. 'We
! got him. He is now in u cell.'
"I at once telephoned my wife that
I the danger was past. But realizing
that she had suffered a shock, I said
that I would go home on the one
o'clock train.
"I reached the house about two
o'clock and found several of the neighbors
attempting to soothe my wife,
whose nerves had been terribly j
strained. While sympathizing with |
her 1 received a telephone message i
from the police tliut their prisoner
claimed to be my wife's brother und
desired that 1 come immediately and
identify him.
"'Great heavens! could this be so?'
"I answered the summons iimnedi
ately und on reaching the station,
there waiting for me sat Jim Chuiubers,
my brother-ln-luw, true enough.
'"What in thunder?' he begun.
1 "'What the dickens were you trying
to break in??"
j "'It ad a key to the side door and
I I was trying to cut awny a bit of wood
in order to lift the book on the storm
i door.'
"'You've scared Mollie out of her
enses. Why didn't you ring?'
" 'I thought I could got in without
waking her?'
"That's the end of the story Hnd
the end of a telephone in iny house.
If the things could be used only for
legitimate purposes#they would be a
great convenience, but they won't do
for nervous wives to say sweet thinga
\r their absent husbunds."
