DECISIVE DAYS OF WAR
CO-OPERATION OF HIGH COMMAND. ARMISTICE DAY CONTROVERSY. (Press Association—By Telegraph—Oopyright.) LONDON, December 5. “It is strange for anyone to think me capable of forgetting what France owes the British army and Earl Haig,” says Marshal Foch in an article regarding the Armistice Day controversy. “I did not claim that the generalissimo had the list word regarding the 1918 offensive. On the contrary, I sometimes adopted Earl Haig’s plans in preference to my own. Every time I am in the danger of forgetting what France owes to Britain I make a pilgrimage to the shrines of the dead. I paid such a visit on the eve of the day on which I am credited with aspersions on the British army. Could I return from that sacred spot and speak words of carping criticism?”—A. and N.Z. Cable.
