Excerpt from Foch, the Winner of the War But, most fortunately for Fran cc, a great leader was on the ground. With the intuition of genius, Foch saw that the Germans, as well as ourselves, were almost at the last gasp. A vigorous blow on our part might, and should, give us the victory, and he resolved to strike. One of his corps commanders demurred, saying: My men are tired out, only to receive the Spartan answer: So are the Germans. Attack! While the fate of the day hung thus in the balance, Foch decided on the movement which turned the scale on the side of victory. Taking advantage of the situ ation of the German army, which confronted him at an angle, he took his left division, the Forty-second, moved it quickly across to his right, and threw it against his assailant's ¿ank, the enemy, surprised and disabled by this unexpected attack, gave way and fell back.
