GEN. MAURICE SAYS GRANTING
ARMISTICE NOT A MISTAKE
Allies Had Germans at Mercy and Could
Have Crushed Army. Foch Surprised
at Hun Eagerness to Accept Terms.

forward with ease. He was sur
prised by the tactics of Haig in the
Arras blow, and the wiping out of
the st. Mihiel salient by Pershing
disarranged all his plans. He had
to hurry troops southwest to cover
Metz and the Briey coal fields. And
he found himself short of troops, at
the very moment when twenty five
fresh American divisions were fin
ishing their battle training and were
ready to enter the fight with
feverish energy. 1t is due to Lu-
dendorff to say that he saw the end
before Sedan and Mezieres were
reached, and told Berlin that an ar
mistice must be signed. regardless
of the terms.
Right Cause Won Victory.
There was a bare intimation in Gen
Maurice's lecture that Foch was taken
aback when the German delegation
accepted the terms he placed before
them. Against their abject acceptance
he weighed the other course-the OPEN
ing of the American attack in AL
SAGE, which was set for November IA.
and the wasting of thousands OF lives
for an objective which the Germans
conceded at the start.
TT is natural for each OF the bellig-
erents to think that their armies were
the decisive factor in the winning of
the wax" said Gen. Maurice. "All of
them worked together for victory,
which was due, after all. to something
greater than might-to the justice and
the Righteousness OF our cause"
At the conclusion of his lecture, Gen.
Maurice was asked his views on the
Irish question by some interrogator In
the audience, but he refused to divulge
his views

the story of its introduction in those
regions and all the neighborhood of
the Red sea is quite interesting.
More than century ago trading
Arabs got hold Of some of these dol
lars and found the eftigy of the queen
(Which they bore on one side, the re-
verse showing the Austrian double
eagle) so attractive that they sought
to obtain more of them, for sale as
jewelry. Later ON they became highly
popular as a medium Of exchange in
mercantile transactions in Arabia !;
and when at intervals the Turkish
government prohibited their importa-
ton large and profitable business
was done in smuggling them through
Alden and other seaports.
They are all dated 1850, being even
now minted from replleas of the orig
inal die, which is OF rather crude
workmanship. ANY change would not

less acceptable.

them at good profit or exchanging
