the victory is his save as he was the leader who
re-organized millions and showed them how to make their conviction of
Right prevail, he is also too wise to wish that his were the power to
create the world anew. He knows that not only will the to-morrows of
mankind be as the multitudes of mankind make them, but that they should
be not otherwise directed; this, of all things, is what the overthrow
of autocracy means.

He helped us to shake off the Beast who sought to impose his will on
all the world. Briefly, at least, that Menace is restrained--thanks to
the indomitable will of many nations and to the genius of Ferdinand
Foch.

It is for us--every one of us!--to say what shall come out of the
security that Foch and his armies have maintained for us at so great a
price; how long we shall maintain it and how honorably we shall use it.

And to us, with this sacred obligation on us, Foch would say:

"It is not enough to mean well, to desire that righteousness shall
prevail; it is not enough even to be willing to give all, should it be
required of you. You must _know how_ to serve your ideals, your
principles. Victory always goes to those who deserve it by possessing
the greatest power of will and intelligence."
