Ludendorft in his "Memories" remarks that he heard by 'degrees about the mutinies and the losses, but that "only later did we learn the whole truth." Russia's powers of r after the Reyol tion had crumbled and Italy bad enough to do to hold up the Aus trians. X "The thought of the possibility of a German offensive on the French front was almost too serious to con- template. In the existing condition of affairs it would certainly spell immedi- ate disaster. One thing was certain, that for the sake of the Allied cause as a whole the British must do their utmost to prevent the German army from regaining the initiative; in other words, the British must attack on their own front, pin the enemy to his ground wear him down, and if possible prevent him from launching a serious offensive either on the Rus. sian or French (or Italian) fronts. General Petain realized this, he pald a hurried visit to British Headquar- ters, hegged the British Commander- in-Chief to 'continue attacking right th the , 80 that the Frenth Army might have time to re- cover; and he himself carried out a methodical. mission of propaganda to urge his officers to show greater steadfastness." Only One Course So there could bs no question of what was the right course for the British command to pursue, It was impossible to say that we should pre- "1 was myself being put to a ter-| rible strain. The state of affairs In| the West gppeared to prevent the exe-| ¢ution of our plans elsewhere. Our wastage had been so high as to cause grave misgivings and exceeded all ex- pectation, The attack on the Dvina had to be postponed repeatedly." Regarding the third period, Luden- dorff again remarks on the "extremely critical situation," and says, "The Eastern front had to send consider- able forces there," The fourth period brought "extraordinary high wast- age." "Pwo Divisions that had been held in readiness in the East, and were already on their way to Italy, were diverted to Flanders." Unfor- tunately the Germans could not be prevented from helping in an attack | on Italy, and the debacle of Caporetto ensued. But the British did their best by a sudden attack at Cambrai to in- crease the enemy's difficulties, al- {honen that operation: was seriously interfered with by the dispatch of British troops 0 Italy. It was de- cided to continue the Flanders offen- sive in a modified form, Ludendorft's description of this, the final period, is misleading. He says the British "charged like a wild bull against the fron wall which kept them from our submarine bases." But, General Dav- idson replies, "The truth is, that in all this period of fighting the number of British divisions which actually de- livered an attack was approximately the same as the number which as- saulted on one single day, the 31st of July." General Davidson does not pursue further the tactical results of the battle. Ypres was freed, and the Passchendaele ridge was gained, but the hoped for result--a German re- treat along the Flanders coast--did not follow. Considering the difficul- ties of terrain, what was achieved was wonderful, and the various operations were undoubtedly most skilfully plan- ned and executed. But it is the broad strategical aspect that really matters most, because it was a vital issue. The scale threatened." © Views of Generals Brig, Gen. D. C, Draper, now chief of the Toronto police, who partici pated at Passchendaele, said: "I would much rather not be brought in- '{to an argument. Sir Arthur Currie, in my opinion. is the oply man who should give out a statement of that kind." "I think that Gen. Macdonell is put- ting if rather strongly," said Brig. Gen, C. H, Mitchell, who served on the general staff of the second army, "But there is this I can say about it. At the end of that year it was found necessary to put fresh divisions in that part of, the line mear Passchen- daele, The British' were bringing up all the division they could in order to finish the campaign. The usual way was to bripg them one at a time, but the Canadians wanted to come as a corps--very rightly so, I think--and that was the reason for bringing the Canadian troops as a whole to Pass- clocks. Meat is dried for dog biscuits and the heavy bohes are crushed for poultry feed and feltilizer. The pearly teeth, which are small, but of pure ivory, are sold to curio makers. Schools of beluga whales, which mea- sure about fifteen feet in length, often number 10,000. Such schools are sometimes mistaken by tourists for whitecaps. The white whales come from the ocean through Cook Inlet into the Be- luga River. At tidewater, where there is a maximum high tide of thirty-five feet, a long, wide net is laid. One end is staked on the mud flats and along the top runs a thin rubber hose, con- nected with an air compressor on shore. The net remains sunken on the river bottom while th¥ tide rises and the whales come in. Just as the tide turns, the alr pump inflates the rubber tubing and the huge net floats to the surface, com- pletely fencing the outlet to the ocean. Many whales swim up the river, but numbers lie stranded on the muddy flats. One shot in the brain with a 30.30 rifle is deadly. The ton-and-a- half whales are floated to the render-| RH ing plant near here and hauled up the skids in the same manner as logs go to the mill saws. In addition to Beluga in Cook Inlet, the mammals are hunted on the Si- berian coast and in the Anadyr River, Manchuria, The meat of beluga is much. of a luxury with Eskimos and the Aleuts of the north Pacific is- lands. for cleaner -- faster cutting Tally empecs UE Sends plant a guare ee every Saw, ant 'od "paragutie."
