Details are beginning begin-ning to come out of Germany about the armistice negotiations at Foch's headquarters, head-quarters, showing that in the eleventh hour Ludendorff and his junkerist militarist mili-tarist friends tried desperately to wreck them. Dr. Mathias Erzberger, the centrist cen-trist leader and civilian head of the German Ger-man armistice commission, it now appears, ap-pears, assumed full responsibility for Germany's Ger-many's acceptance of Foch's terms and refused to let tho generals "but in." The Petit Parisien learns from ita Zurich Zur-ich correspondent that Erzberger in a speech to tho centrist party committee sai'l : "The result of our negotiations with Foch resulted as favorably for Germany as could be expected." Ho added, the dispatch Fays, that he refused to submit the terms to General von Gundel for final sanction, "as Lu-! Lu-! dendorff wished mo to do." Instead, Erzberger Erz-berger said, ho claimed full powers for himself, upon Hindenbnrg's authority. The field marshal later congratulated Erzberger on hif course, the centrist leader stated. |
