Foch Fears Huns
Are Forgetting They
Have Been Beaten

London, Feb. 11.-British news
papers of all shades of opinion are
devoting serious attention to the at
titude adopted by the German gov
ernment toward the armistice con-
ditions.
The Daily News Paris correspon-
dent sends a dispatch from an "au-
lucrative source" on the subject in
which he says his informant told
him that he had the best reason to
believe that Germany is not con-
tinuing to demobilize.
"She has now concentrated more
than eighteen divisions under Won
Hindenburg on the western 'front.'"
the correspondent quotes his infor-
mant as saying.
The correspondent says he has
been informed by a competent Brit
ish authority that Marshal Foch
made a declaration of a somewhat
serious character at a meeting of
the Supreme War Council"
He feels" this authority is quot
ed as saying, that the Germans are
beginning to forget that they are
beaten. They are apt to forget that
we are in a state of war. They have
been slow in handing over transport
and other things. They are causing
great deal of difficulty"
