...have my attention called to a communication in Saturday's CRIMSON which was signed with my name. As I see by his communication today, Mr. Tucker, whose name appeared with mine, is as innocent of any hand in that bit of mean personal animosity as I am.

His reserve army rushed swiftly into place at the Yser, saved the Channel ports. Though Foch is noted chiefly for his boldness and speed and striking personal appeal, his policy is always sound: Joffre has called him the greatest strategist in Europe...
