London,
Nov.
30th.—Another
book,
telling
just who
won the
war,
is off
the
press,
but
this
one
by
Mr.
G.
A.
B.
Dewar and
Lieut-Col.
Boraston,
entitled
“Sir Douglas
Haig’s
Command’’
is
of
special
interest
to the British public,
be-
cause
it makes
the astonishing
statement
that
it
was
Haig
and
not
Foch,
who
planned
the
counter
cffensive
that ended
the
war.
The
fact
that
the
book
was
written
with the
approval
of Earl
Haig
from
information supplied by him,
adds
considerable
weight to the arguments
ad-
vanced
in
favour
of
the
British
Com-
mander.
It
is stated
that
Foch
wanted
Haig to attack
the Germans
on the Roye-
Aulnes
line, but the British
General
re-
fused
and submitied
a
difterert plan of
attack.
There
was
a heated
debate
but
Foch
was finally persuaded
to
abandon
an
alternative scheme,
which he had
pre-
pared,
and
to
adopt
Haig’s plan.
The
British then attacked
on
the Hindenborg
line,
despite
the
fact that Haig
hed
re-
ceived
a telegram
from
the Cabinet
re-
primanding
hifn,
for
his
controversy
with Foch
ard informirg him that if he
failed
im his counter-offensive,
he would
have
to resign.
When
the
attack
sue-
ceeded,
the book says,
Fcch immediately
adopted
all the
Haig’s
proposals
and
thereby
the war
was won.
The amazing
error
that it was Foch’s
and
not Haig’s
plan
that prevailed,
says
the bnck,
las
thriven
ever
since
and
Lloyd
Geoige
should
have
given
ecredit
to
Haig and
not
Foch,
when
bhe made
the
speech
in
behalf
of the army
commanders
in
Par-
liament.
Few
books
of
recent
times
have
attracted
so
much
attention
and
naturally
it is being cordially received
by
the British publie.
Berlin,
Nov. 30th.—The
Russian
Sovi-
et’s programme
at Lausanne,
as outlined
tonight
by Mr. Tchitcherin,
the Russian
Foreign
Minister, will be liberally iater-
larded
with
‘“We
demard’’.
After
a
day ‘spent
in
getting
acquaiated
with
Chancelior
Cuno and
the other
members
of the
new German
Govt.,
M. Tchitcherin
called
in the foreign correspondents
with
whom
he
freely
discussed
the
Govt’s
attitude
at Lausanne,
and
repeated,
in
measure,
what
he
had
already
said
in
similar interviewsin Russia.
He
main-
tained
that
neither
the
League
of Na-
tions
nor
an
international
combination
of
powers
should
exercise
any control,
whatever,
over
tae
Turkish
Straits,
which
should
be
completely
closed
to
warships
and
restricted
to
commercial
navigation.
He
declared
Russia
would
be prompt
to support
Turkey
in her at-
tempt
to gverthrow
any
agreement,
vio-
lating Turkish Sovereign
rights,
or
leav-
ing the Straits
open,
and
Russia’s
pro-
gramme
wouldjremain- unchanged,
what-
ever conclusiors
were
arrived
at by the
powers
at Lausanne,

clared

port
that

of

were being
driven
out,
or that
foreign charitable
institutions
had
been
