FRANCE'S DEBT
TO BRITISH ARMY IN WAR
FOCH'S GENEROUS TRIBUTE
"SOMETIMES ADOPTED HAIG'S PLANS."
(United Press Association.—Copyright.) (Sydney Sun Cable.) (Received 6th December, 11 a.m.) LONDON, sth December. It is strange that anyone should think me capable of forgetting what France owes to the British Army and Held-Marshal Haig, says Marshal Foch, in an article regarding the Armistice Day controversy. I did not claim that the Generalissimo had the last word regarding the 1918 offensive. On ' tho contrary I sometimes adopted Marshal Haig's plans in preference to mine. Every time I am in danger of forgetting what France owes to Britain, I make a pilgrimage to the shrines of their dead. I paid such a visit on the eve of the day on whicli I was credited with aspersions on tho British Army. Could T return from that sacred spot and speak words of carping criticism?
