itb w @gi w :y *4 w & # i o en ead+ Sir Douglas Haig said that the feaâ€" ture of the war, which to the historian may well appear most noteworthy, is the creation of the new British army, which was successfully built up in the very midst of the war. "The totat" of more than 327,000,â€" German prisoners captured by us on the western front," says Sir Douglas, "is in striking contrast to the force of six divisions comprising some 80,000] fighting men with which we entered only can decisive victory be won. The expansion of British personnel, artillery, ammunition, transport, railâ€" way construction and establishments of every kind in France is dwelt upon by the Field Marshal. Regarding maâ€" chine guns the British equipment inâ€" creased from one gun to 500 infantryâ€" men in 1914 to one to 20 infantrymen in 1918. The 486 pieces of artillery with which the British took the field in 1914 were represented at the date of the armistice 6,347. British Army Raised During War. On the first day of the Somme battle in 1916 nearly 13,000 tons of artillery . ammunition were fired by the British | on the western front. On two days, September 20 and 21, 1917, 42,000 tons ! were expended, and in the throe days | of the crucial battle on September 27, | 28 and 29, 1918, nearly . 65,000 tonl’ were fired by the British artillery.

The value of cavalry in modern war is emphasized by Sir Douglas Haig, and, in discussing the value of mechaâ€" nical contrivances, such as tanks, he observes that, immense as their inâ€" fluence might have been,. they could not by themselves decide a campaign. Their true role is to assist infantryâ€" men, by whose rifles and bayonets only can decisive victory ha arm.. casualties in the fighting of 1918 oc curred during the five months from March to July, when the allies were on the defensive, "The rapid collapse of Germany‘s military powers in the latter half of 1918," he says, "was the logical outâ€" come of the fighting of the previous two years. It would not have taken place but for that period of ceaseless attrition, which used up the German reserves. It is in the great battles of 1916 and 1917 that all have to seek for the secret of our victory in 1918."‘ The value of cavalry in modern war . is emphasized by Sir Douglas Haig, | ind, in discussing the value of mechaâ€" | rical contrivances, such as tanks, hol Sir Douglas records the interesting fact that more than half the British casualties in the fighting of 192 a~. lous‘ is hardly too strong to describe the recovery and ultimate victory of the allies. Effect of Russian Default. "The breakdown of Russia in 1917 probably prolonged the war by a year, and the military situation in Italy in the Autumn of 1917 necessitated the transfer of five British divisions to Italy at a time when their presence in France might have had farâ€"reaching effects." ( sC n "During the Somme battle artillo.'y’ ammunition had to be watched with | the greatost care. During 1917 nmâ€"l munition was plentiful, but the gun | situation caused anxiety. It was only” In 1918 that artillery operations could be â€"conducted â€" without any limiting consideration beyond that of transâ€" port "The highâ€"water mark of our fight Ing strength in infantry, says the Briâ€" tish commander, was only reached afâ€" ter two and a half years of conflict, by which time heavy casualties had alâ€" ready been incurred. It was not until midsummer, 1916, that the artillery sitnation became even approximately adequate to the conduct of major operations. The Word "Miraculous" is Not Too Strong to Describe Recovery and Ultimate Victory of Allies. Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, in | his final despatch mage public, pre-? sents an important review of the war and describes i1 detail the expansion . and achievements of the British army, ; with many remarkable facts and | figures. He treats the operations ln| the western front as a single conâ€"| structive campmign, in which can be | recognized the same general features | and necessary stages that, between | forces of approximately equal strength, | have marked all the conclusive battles ‘ of history. | SIA DOUCGLAS HAIG PRESENTS REMARKABLE FACTS. The margin with which the Cerâ€" n onrush of 1914 was stemmed was isrrow and the subsequent struggle i so severe that the word ‘miracuâ€" a‘ is hardly too strong to describe REVIEWS THE WAR ‘"Yes, sir; I wants to mio Mack‘s yard and d him." "So you‘re saving up to buy an airâ€" ship? You‘re quite an ambitious little boy." "Well," answered wifie, with an eloâ€" quent smile, "It‘s funny, then, you had no letters this morning, because one of those I gave you to mail was adâ€" dressed to youâ€"just as a sort of key." "Sure I did," was indignant reply. "Only a circular," he answered as he bit into a fine brown slice of toast. "Huh," said the wife, "By the way, did you mail the letters I gave you yesterday ?" "Did you have any mail this mornâ€" ing, dear?" to mail lettersâ€"has cured him. The mail is delivered at their home before the breakiast hourâ€"which is cimparaâ€" tively late.

"Our people, who may be a bit more settled than during the war years, ‘wish to go somewhere,‘ and as they cannot go to Europe, or Mexico, and as South America is too far away and passports too difficult to obtain, our own western country and Canada then become more or less Mecca." The Trade Advertiser of the Panâ€" | American Union, an international orâ€" | ganization maintained by the twenty | Latinâ€"American republics and the | United States for the development | among other things of friendly interâ€" ,'course. writes to the Canadian Trade Commission as follows: °| "It has been proved," he added, ! "that cavairy, whether used for shock | effect under suitable conditions, or as !mobfle infantry, have still an indisâ€" ; | pensable part to play in modern war. . | Moreover, it cannot sately be assured ; that in all future wars the flanks of ; the opposing forces will rest on neuâ€" .| tral states or impassable obstacles." I | No Victory in Defensive. ‘| _ The Field Marshal devotes a speâ€" °/ clal section to : "Why we attacked ‘ | whenever possible," in which he says: ‘| _ "The object of all war is victory, _ and a purely defensive attitude can | never bring about a successful dectâ€" | sion." § He emphasizes that the defensive | role sooner or later produces a lower-' .| ing of morale, while the defender beâ€" "?comes almost entirely ignorant of hil’ opponent‘s dispositions and plans. j'rms was exemplified in the fighting | | of 1918. "So long as the enemy was | attacking he obtained a fairly full in-( ' formation regarding our dlspoaltions."' |says Sir Douglas, "but so soon as he; | was thrown on the defensive, and the | | Initiative returned to the allies, he‘ | was kept in comparative ignorance of | our plans and disposition, and the alâ€" ;lies were able to effect many surâ€" ;prises, both strategic and tactical." It is an aspect of Canadian trade which must not be overlooked in this year of difficult reâ€"adaptation to peace conditions. 1919 Summer Trade Should Be Large If Attractions Are Well Advertised. Tourist trade gives quickest returns for service of any commerce any land can undertake. Payment, cash "on the dot," is for exactly those things which the people produce and criginâ€" ate themselves. In that sense tourist trafic forms a most valuable national asset of "giltâ€"edged import" of practiâ€" cally nothing but dollars. With respect to the use of cavairy Sir Douglas Haig contends that in the light of full experience of the war the decision to preserve the cavalry corps has been completely justified. the war. Jhat we should have been able to accomplish this stupendous task is due partly to the loyalty and devotion of our alllies, and to the splendid work of the Royal Navy, but mainly to the wonderful spirit of the British race in all parts of the world." CANADA‘S TOURIST TRAFFIC. Got Any in The Lesson of War. nts to fly over Jimâ€" and drop bricks on Your Pocket? the righteously Even after the United States had landed more than 1,500,000 men in France, Dr. Muehlon declares, the German newspapers continued their campaign of falsity and delusion. The diplomatic intercourse between Gerâ€" many and the United States during | the two years preceding America‘s enâ€" try into the war is set forth in the ’pamphlet. with interesting references to Count Von Bernstorff and his Miliâ€" tary and Naval Attaches, Boyâ€"Ed and Von Papen, in Washington. It was given out as "established" that the oneâ€"time Ambassador and not Dr. Zimâ€" merman, the German Foreign Secreâ€" tary, had conducted the correspondâ€" ence with Heinrich Von Eckhardt, formerly German Minister in Mexico, looking to an allHance between Japan, Germany and Mexico if the United States entered the war. German newspapers were cautioned never to After months of deception in trying to convince the people that the United States would never enter the war, agâ€" serts the Krupp director, when Prestâ€" dent Wilson sent his ultimatum, the German press very readily executed an "about face" and endeavored to minimize the United States as a posâ€" sible adversary. It must be understood, writes Dr. Muehlon‘s collaborator, that all the censorship regulations under which the newspapers were operating were unknown to the people. ~The distorâ€" tion of facts was thus made easy for every editor. He was encouraged to say that, notwithstanding that the Allies were sinking German submarâ€" ines as fast as they could be built, "the number of new German Uâ€"boats is four times greater than the losses. Our submersible fleet has grown ex-‘ traordinarily during the war. _ The | press is to picture the submarine warâ€" | fare as a means of shortening the struggle and not as a measure of re-: taliation or a weapon to starve our | foes." | B RILNGILNG , Newspaper editors, according to the | document, were forbidden under dire penalties to discuss any subject relatâ€" ing to the war without the approval of hundreds of government censors operâ€" ating through twentyâ€"one newspaper bureaus and various branches of the government. The Lusitania sinking and the submarine controversy with the United States were so skillfully manoeuvred in the press that for many months the people were led to beâ€" lieve that the negotiations were takâ€" l ing "a course very favorable to us." _ | Never Admitted First Marne Defeat. ‘ | Dr Muehion, who in his earlier reâ€" ,' velations accused the then Emperor! !Wllllam of having issued the order |“take no more prisoners," the asgâ€" tonishing fact that not once in all of the German war reports can be found , any admission that the first battle of the Marne was a German defeat. The only thing that the German High Comâ€" [ mand was able to report about that | terrible reverse was disguised in the | words:â€""In the western theatre of ’ the war the operations, details of which cannot yet be published, have‘ led to a new battle which is developâ€" ing favorably. Reports spread by the l enemy unfavorably to us are false." | | The pamphlet, entitled "How We lWere Lied To," is published ostensâ€" ‘ ibly under the name of Kurt Muehâ€" | sam, oneâ€"time Austroâ€"German war corâ€" | respondent. It is filled with instances | of military duplicity, showing the efâ€" | forts that were made to conceal from | the German people everything of a disâ€" | couraging nature that had to do with \ the war. Revelations of the "stupidity and cunning" of German newspaper cenâ€" sorship which for more than four years obsessed 70,000,000 perscns with the hope of an impossible victory, hid from them the news of Prussian deâ€" feats and at last contributed to the downfall of the structure of pretence it had raised, are brought out here in a remarkable pamphlet said to have been inspired by Dr. Wilhelm Muehâ€" lon, formerly director of the Krupp Works, whose expose of Germany in 1918 as the rear instigator of the war. sent him into voluntary exile in Switâ€" zerland. ' Publication of Pamphiet, Entitled "How we Were Lied To," Reveals Network of Deceit. HOW AUTOCRACY NEWSPAPERS CONTAINED FALSE ACCOUNTS OF THE WAR. The brochure, which gives details of methods and apparatus for cleanâ€" sing both persons and clothing, is now on sale on every bookstall at two cents. The department classes the prevalâ€" ence of vermin as a serious menace to the health of a large section of the population, and the pamphlet contains the orders issued to the local authortâ€" ties for coping with the evil. to be taken for guarding the public and details of the powers of the local authorities to provide apparatus for cleaning purposes. England Plans to Stamp Out Disease Carried by Germs. The British Government is taking measures to stamp out diseases due to the germâ€"carrying parasites. The local Government Board, the department dealing with the adminisâ€" tration of health, has issued a pamphâ€" let of ten pages giving details of the life history of the pests, the measures England Plans In addition to liveâ€"stock products Great Britain, France, Italy and Belâ€" gium will need to import for some time to come large supplies of wheat, fertilizers, fibres (wool and cotton) and farm »machinery. All countries under review have made marked proâ€" gress in the utilization of farm maâ€" chinery, especially in the use of tracâ€" tors. Generally speaking, Great Britain, France and Italy will need to import for some time to come large supplies of meats, fats, dairy products, and concentrates for animals. Some ingr portations of live stock for breeding purposes may be made, but for the most part importations will consist of liveâ€"stock products. Italy‘s cattle have declined. Many orders have been in effect for the purâ€" pose of conserving live stock. For exâ€" ample, in some sections calves weighâ€" ing less than 440 pounds could not be slaughtered. â€" Hogs have been greatly decreased. In Italy there was some reduction of the cultivated area, but except for wheat the reduction in the volume of | breadstuffs has not been very serious. The yield per acre decreased, the ! causes being shortage of fertilizer and uncontrolled growth of weeds. _ Regarding live stock, Great Britain has maintained her herds of cattle and has increased her sheep .and made small losses in hogs. Sheep were deâ€" clining in Great Britain before the war.. In France all live stock has deâ€" clined. However, France has mainâ€" tained her young cattle. The decline in sheep is most serious, and there is also a sharp decline in hogs. Great Britain increased her homeâ€" grown bread supplies fourfold by 1918, largely by plowing up her pasture lands. France‘s@production of sugar beets and breadstuffs decreased sharply. Effect of the War on the Farming Conditions Overseas. Last Beptember a commission visitâ€" ed Europe to see what effect the war hbad had on European farming up to that time. Here are a few of the outâ€" standing facts, recently reported by the commission: all." ' Loss of the war was charged by the ‘one-tlme Krupp expert to two grave mistakes by Von DudendorIf, deâ€" scribed as the "brains of the German army," in his failure, first, correctly to estimate the wonderful possibilities of the «mertcan troop transport and his false assumption that Marshal Fockh‘s reserve army had ceased to exist in June, 1918,. Ludendorff, he said, gambled with the existence of Germany. He was like a jockey in a long race who forced his horse far ahead of the rest of the field and who. toward the end, when the others beâ€" ‘ gan to gain with their carefully reâ€" served strength, used "whip and spurs 4' in a desperate effort to win, virtually killed his mount and yet lost nl’tel',l PATIEEEL Blames Ludendorff for Defeat.
