On, Tuesday Marshal Foch was buried in the Invalides beside

Napoleon. The Prince of Wales was present. The service in Notre Dame, the procession through three miles of streets, and the funeral oration by M. Poineare were in their different measures all grand and moving. M. Poineare's oration had a note that is rarely heard at the obsequies of distinguished French- men, but it was compelled by the facts of Marshal Foch's life. We mean the reference to Foch's simple piety. He looked very humbly upon the highest of his accom- plishments as borrowed from God. •
