THE YSER LINE DISPUTE
MARSHAL FOCH DENIES REPORT.
By Telegraph—Press Assn—Copyright. Brussels, Nov. 20.
Marshal Foch, in a reply to King Albert, says; “I dissociate myself entirely from the statements contained in the article in Le Matin. I granted no interview to any journalist, and when the writer, Stephane Lauzanne, came to see me on October 7 it was for quite another matter.” Marshal Foch concludes with an expression of attachment and esteem for the Belgian army and respect for its King. The newspaper Le Soir regrets that neither Marshal Foch nor the writer Lauzanne acknowledge that the Belgian army, far from thinking of retreat, held the Yser line alone. ,M. LAUZANNE’S EXCUSES. Paris, Nov. 20. M. Stephane Lauzanne, replying to Marshal Foch, admits that no interview occurred, in the sense of a dialogue arranged and revised, but he thought that the conversation he had with the Marshal should be published in the interest of history. M. Lauzanne claims the privilege of exercising discretion as the raison d’etre for a free press.
