A LITTLE PIECE OF HISTORY." According to Major-General Allen, the former commander of the American army of occupation, speaking before the Military Clubs at New York on January 15th, it wns Marshal Foch who halted the drive to Berlin. In a recent visit to Paris, said General Allen, describing what he called a little piece of unwritten history," he bad talked with Marshal Foch, who told him that before the signing of the Armis. tice a conference was held. Marshal Foch asked first for Sir Douglas (now Earl) Haig's views as to how far forward the Allied forces should continue, and Sir Douglas replied that there had been sufficient sacrifices of men, and the Ger.! mans were routed.

Marshal Petain wanted to go ahead. We have got them on the run," said Marshal Petain: "let us make the defeat more decided." Marshal Foch, aid General Allen Allen, then dismissed the conferees and made his own decision. In his last visit to Paris, General Allen said. he told Marshal Foch that it was ainistake not to go to Berlin, but Mar- -hal Foch would not agree, and took out: anap showing the Rhine and all the

SHIPPING FREIGHTS ENGINEER'S CRITICISM.
At the annual meeting of the Society of Engineers at Burlington House, on February 4th, Mr. George A. Becks de livered his presidential address, and in a paper discussing the relations of the ngineer with the trader dealt with the question of shipping freights. Were it not so serious a matter to merchants, the present situation would almost buy a suitable topic for comic opera," he said. The object of the shipping com. bine in this country appears to be How nuch can we possibly squeeze out of the trader without his squealing too -loudly Instead of proceeding on the proper principle of maximum, sonnage at minimum rates, he went on, they seem ed to farour minimum tonnage at maxi- un rates. Such a doctrine, if persist. ed in mast speedily spell suicid by stagnation. By mentis of a so-called re- bate system, the combine forced the shipper to pay additional freightage, and this they held as a kind, of deposit *Rgainst good behaviour "o the part
of the shipper.
*་
A system of organized high freights was obviously detrimental to the develop- ment of our foreign trade, and it fre quently forced the would-be purchaser of British material to go to the Continent, where he could generally obtain what he required at a lower cost and where the freight charges were less. In some in- stances the identical ship for which 40. per ton was asked in England would carry the material from Antwerp at a lower rate.
