REFUSES TO ADMIT DEFEAT
French Commander Applies the Prin
ciples of Christian Science to Hit
Military Operations.
In “Behind the Scenes at the
Front” Mr. George Adam, Paris cor
respondent of the London Times,
tells a good deal that is interesting
about the opinions of General Foch,
who for five years lectured on strat
egy and tactics at the Ecole de
Guerre. There he used often to
quote a saying of Joseph de Maistre,
which summed up the psychological
element in defeat: “A battle lost is
a battle that you think is lost, for
battles are not lost materially.”
To that military suftimarv of the
doctrine of Christian Science, Gen
eral Foch added this formula of vic
tory : “Battles are, accordingly, lost
morally, and it is, therefore, morally
that battles are gained; and a battle
won is a battle in which you refuse
to admit yourself beaten.”
That is the more convincing since
it comes from a soldier w'ith a scien
tific mind. Moreover, on at least one '
occasion, wdien he had been forced
three times to retire, he put his faith \
into practice.
After each retirement General
Foch refused to admit defeat. He
and the men under him had the
moral strength, in which science
plays no part, to refuse to know
when they were beaten. On the third
day the retirement began early in the
morning. In the course of the day
General Foch once more took the of
fensive, and by nightfall he had de
livered the decisive blow on the cen
ter of the German army-that led to
its final retreat all along the line.—

VIRGINIA HAS ENOCH ARDEN
After Half Century Man Returns to
Find That His Wife Has Another
Husband.
Wandering over many of the west
ern and New England states for
more than fift}7 years, his departure
from this country being due to do
mestic infelicity, his return to his
native heath only to find the wife of
his youth the legal partner of an
other man, is the experience of
George Rivan Bunday, who recently
arrived here from Boston.
Bunday, a man now more than
seventy-five years of age, makes no
effort to absolve himself from being
a contributing cause to a family mis
understanding, followed by an ap
parently unheal able rupture, as he
now declares, and then his departure.
And now his Enoch Arden appear
ance in this county after the lapse
of half a century has no significance
further than his native heath is a
good place for rehabilitation and
atonement. He says he entertains
nothing but the kindliest feelings for
his former wife and the man who
replaced him in her affections.—Lu
