him that the most critical moment in his career had come. The enemy were grasping at the prize they had hoped to &snatch in 1914. Paris was now not only the capital of France, but the nerve centre of the military system of the Allies. The enemy did not care what price be paid if only Paris fell. French morale-would be severely shaken, his own people would be heartened, and the loot would satisfy the greed of his soldiers But Foca was ready. He anticipated the German attack, and he was correct in his calculations that, once the move- ment had been planned, the German machine would have to roll along its appointed course, for the defect of that wonderful bat soulless creation was that, once it was in movement, it had to go on either to grind any obstacle in its path to powder or itself be, dashed to pieces.
