"I regret," wrote Lieutenant d'Entraygues in the Paris Temps, "only one thing: that all the people of France were not able to see and hear this soldier as he spoke to us. They would know why it is not possible to doubt our victory." It was probably about that time that Major Darnley Stuart-Stephens wrote of Foch, for the English Review.
"The man who has been consecrated by destiny to the saving from Moloch of this globe's civilization, is he who will prove once more that in the conflict between the finely tempered sword and the finely tempered brain, it is the mental asset that will prevail." Major Stuart-Stephens had studied the "mental assets" of Ferdinand Foch.
"The boche," he had said, "has been halted . . . now we shall endeavor to do better." What had happened? The boche was not halted! He was, in fact, shelling Paris! It was in those days that the "soldier-saint," as Major Stuart-Stephens has called him, must have had need of all his faith and all his fortitude. We don't know much, yet, except of a very superficial sort, about those days.
