FOCH IS IN THE NEWS Marshal Becomes Centre of j Animated Discussion in, the Newspapers of j France. WHO GAVE GENERAL HIS APPOINTMENT? DARIS, Nov. 9—Marshal Foch has become the centre of an animated discussion which is occupying the j attention of the French press and political circles generally to the exclusion of almost all other subjects. \ The main point turns on the relations of Marshal Foch and Premier Cle- i menceau in the crucial stages of the j war and the circumseances leading up to the marshal's elevation to the rank of commander-in-chief of all j the allied forces.

Clemenceau only bowed and with bad grace "to my appointment as supreme commander," M. TarcKeu offers the text of Foch's appoinement written in the premier's hand. "I was," says M. Tardieu, "French high commissioner to the United* States at that time and I can say that since the preceding January I have had instructions from Premier Clemenceau to work with the United States government for the institution of a supreme command, and if one put the question who, the reply was Foch." Tardieu also reviewed at length Premier Clemenceau's course in the French chambers, quoting the speech in which the premier defended Marshal Foch against attacks and strongly supported his military policy. » mm • BIG EMIGRATION • OF THE GALICIANS Twenty Thousand Leave Canada to Return Home Winnipeg, Nov. 10. — Twenty thousand Galicians will return home this winter from Western Canada, according to local steamship agents.

GOVERNMENT IS OFFERING TO IRISHMEN PARTNERSHIP IN GREAT BRITISH EMPIRE I ONDON, Nov. 9—Lloyd George in his address at the lord mayor's banquet at the Guildhall tonight discussed briefly and pointedly the various problems with which the government is dealing. With regard to Germany he declared himself personally pleased with the proposals of that country for liquidation of her obligations. Coipcidentally, the chancellor of the exchequer, Austin Chamberlain, announced in the house of commons that Germany had placed a large amount of bonds ifTfhe hands of the reparations commission. The premier spoke optimistically cf Ireland, intimating that the cituathere was well in hand. Referring to questions between Germany and the allies Lloyd George said that the real test of Germany's sincerity was disarmament and he added a report given on that subject ,-Ihe German army is rapidty being reduced to a hundred thousand. There are still too many rifles at large in Germany tut they are a great menace to German internal peace than to Germany's neighbors. Where we have to do with men professing the red crazy temper of bolshevism who fail I to realize how important it is they 'should respect their obligations. He referred briefly to the industrial situation and the recent coal strike, expressing the belief that there is a better temper now all around. Speaking of the Irish situation, the premier said unless I am mistaken, by the steps we have taken we have murder by the throat. Do not pay too much attention to detailed accounts of disturbances and what they call horrors of reprisals given out by partisans who slur horrors of murder. There wil 1 be no real peace, no conciliation, until this murder conspiracy is scattered. We are getting hold of the right men and they are dispersing terrorists. The government will seek further powers if necessary, to deal with the situation. If it is war, as the terrorists say, then they cannot complain if the government employs some of the rales of war against them. He referred to his offer to discuss any proposals with any one able to speak in behalf of Ireland, saying if I had given that invitation to Germany in the middle of the war I would have had response, but giving it to Ireland no man dare respond Wause they are intimidated. You must i break the terror before you can get I peace. What the government is I offering Ireland is partnership in the I greatest empire the world has ever known at the height of its power. . „..
