done as much as we had, and that
our troops were as good as they are
and our artillery so accurate. I ask-
ed what they thought of the present
situation. They said, "Yes, you have
won five kilometres, but it is a hue-
tired miles from here to Brussels; but
you will get no further." They were
very much concerned as to whether
there was any danger of being tor-
pedoed when they were going over to
England, as they heard that very
few boats ever got across. I told
them they might get across safe, but
in all probability they would be sent
to the Isle of Man, in which case
there was a very good chance of go-
ing under. They replied, "Isn't there
a signal given en the steamer that it
is carrying German prisoners?"
which I thought was rather priceless.

It is well from every point of view
that the resignation of IVIr, Arthur
