CONFER ANCIENT
HONOR ON FOGH
Rank of Marshal First Con
ferred During Crusade
of 1191 None for
Forty Years.
The most ancient and highest mili
tary honor which the ' Republic of
France can bestow is now Foch's it
antedates both the Grand Cross of the
Legion of Honor and the Military
Medal; it lacks the political, taint of
the former, but does not aspire to the
credit for individual bravery as does
the bestowal of the latter.
For over forty years no one had re
celved the Marshal's baton in France,
when it was given to "Papa" Joffre in
December. 1916. This somewhat
tardy reward for the soldier who had
conceived and executed the battle of
the Marne was due to the socialistic
influences which prevailed in the
Briand Ministry in the first year of
the war and feared military dictator
ship. And now Foch, whose strategy
In command of the 7th Army at the
battle of the Marne was as dramatic
as it was effectual, receives the sec
ond baton for winning what may be
known as the second battle of the
Marne and for having saved, at least
In the popular mind, Paris for the
second time.
This baton, as provided for by the
present military regulations, is a staff
seventy centimeters long and five in
diameter, covered with dark blue vel
vet, flecked with gold stars and
tipped with silver heads on the rims
of which is engraved the Latin legend
"Terror belli; decus pacis" (the terror
of war, the honor of peace.) It is
carried in the right hand clasped in
the middle with one end resting on
the hip and is used to salute instead
of the sword.
The dignity was first instituted in
France by King Philip Augustus at
the time of the Third Crusade in 1191.

London. Aug. 8. The gain In na

this regard, according to a statement

by Baron D'Abernon, chairman of the
Central Board of Control, which has
to deal with the drink problem. Ba

"The regulations limiting the hours
of sale, providing for the dilution of
spirits and beer, and forbidding treat

cresses In drunkenness and the dis
eases Incidental to drinking. The
level of drunkenness today is about
half that of a year ago, when It was
one-third that of the pre-war time.
There has been a general decrease of
about 83 per cent. In drinking among
both men and women.
"The progress of Improvement has

club work was started in this state
little over twelve months ago. In the
first year, 541 members were enrolled
and 600 pigs were grown and fattened.
Now there are over 2500 members
growing more than 3.000 pigs. This
means an increase in Connecticut's
Dork supply of over a half a million
pounds, and these pigs are being rais
ed largely on dairy by-products, kitch

would otherwise have been lost.
Seventeen banks and trust compan

pigs. The following table shows the
enrollment by counties; each member

TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY.
On this date In 1782 Samuel
Hearne, the gallant explorer of the
Canadian north, was defeated by the
French at Fort Churchill. Hearne was
one of the most daring of the ex
plorers who invaded the northern
wilderness, and he has been called
"the father of Arctic exploration," as
he was the first white man to gaze
out upon the ice floes of the Arctic
ocean. He also discovered the Great
Slave Lake and trafeled through vast
regions west of Hudson's Bay, where
white man had never been before. He
claimed vast territories for England,
and built Fort Churchill in an at
tempt to hold it. The French, how
ever, defeated this attempt, and took
Hearne prisoner. On his release he
returned to England, where he died
ten years later, at the age of forty
eight. His story of his Canadian
career Is one of the most wonderful
works of its kind ever written.
While the experts have delayed the
production of machine guns by wran
