Two of the German guesses as to: the probable turm modern warfare would take, can be dealt with brief- ly, lor in each the Germans were] tilgroughly Ha the right; and the Al- les, as a whole, in the wrong. | These two points are the use of | heavy artillery in the open field--- | with which may be incorporated the value of high explosive shells, not] only against permanent fortifica-| tions, but for general Spetations =| "andthe value, especially upon the defensive, of a very large provision of machine guns. As to the first of these points: Roughly speaking, there were two schools before the outbreak of war. The school which belittled the value of heavy guns in the field, and of general purposes took their stand upon the recent lessons of South Af- riea and Manchuria. The proportion of logses produced {upon his power to obtain a decision positions, and was there pinned. He the use of high explosive shell for 86t out mext to break forth those positions and failed in the great battle of Flanders last Nov- ember, * He set out next to grasp the THE VALUE Allies Guessed Strategy Are Noted-~-The Win Before the Late more numerical process the enemy's man-power must. progressively di- minish at a greater rate than that of the Allies, and that everything" must, therefore, continue to depend before numerical inferiority leaves him unable to maintain this fall strength upon the three fronts he now has to hold. Some of the Failures. That his grand strategy has failed in its principal object so far is a very plain and simple matter of history.

'The moral is that the de- feal in Manitoba must not be linked up with the Government at Ottawa, Of course there are other morals which might be mentioned, such as the need of pure politics and honest Cabinet Ministers, but the most pra- tical one is that the sins of the Rob- on the 'powers. at Ottawa, even though the Honorable Robert Rogers The Conservative press; Jointly and severally complains that it is ment up with the doings at Winni- PEE. No doubt the people of Can- ada will play fair and refuse to do Any more linking up than the Borden Government has done on its own ac- count. When Premier Borden took {he Homorable Robert Rogers into his cabinet, he to a certain extent linked up with Mr. Rogers' reputa- tion as the Manitoba Boss. When he allowed Mr. Rogers to take four months off from his job at Ottawa to handle the Manitoba election he car- ried ithe linking up a step further. hen Mr. Rogers received a tele- gram from Mr. Coldwell saying "This 'means more to you than it does to us." the linking up received its final touch. ~ Bob's past called to him in tones of thunder and he had to go. There is no need of alarm on the part of the Conservative newspapers. The people of Canada will not do any unfair to link the Borden Govern-|®o ent danger of 4 Royal Commission in British Columbia to be followed by a general election as was tne case in Manitoba. In British Columbia the Government has a Lieutenant- Governor of its own party complex- ion, and he will make it his duty to sit or the lid. In Manitoba the Roblin Government was cursed witn a Liberal Lientenant:Governor, who, insisted on pulling the lid off. That's the main difference. Manitoba had a wash up. . British Columbia goes in for a hush-up, Until sthe sky looks a good deal brighter tham it . does now, safety first will be the Mec- Bride-Bowser line of action. Mean- ° while the general situation is being viewed with alarm and trial ball- ns are being issued from Ottawa from time to time, with a view to feeling out Liberal opinion on a mo- dus vivendi. A Coalition Govern ment is being more or less vigorous!y opposed by the Conservative news- papers, which is a good sign of what is running in their minds. Some are presumably in favor of it. They speak of national problems and the necessity of a *'national government" to meet them. The wish is perhaps father to the thought. At any rate the suggestion is there to take or to leave, as may be deemed fit. In fact, the Borden Government is willing to do almost anything to save its bacon. * Although the voters lists in the unorganized districts are being prepared and decks are being cleared one way or another for a general election, the desire for. it seems not as keen as it was before the results in Manitoba put tne rear by these methods id net seem 'to warrant the very great expense and lack of mobility they entailed. + failed in either project.
