GENERAL HAIG
WHEN 59 BRITISH DIVISIONS
BEAT 99 GERMAN,
Record Furnishes Proof of the Over-
whelmingly Decisive Part Played by
British in Hun Defeat
The story of the smashing blows
which led to the final collapse of the
German armies is graphically told In
the latest despatch from Sir Douglas
Haig, In the course of that epie bat-
tle the Commander in Chief points
out 59 fighting British. divisions en-
gaged and defeated 99 separate Ger-
man divisions --a record which, says
Sir Douglas Haig, furnishes proof of
the avcrtrhelminfily decisive part
played by the British armies on the
Western front in bringing the enemy
to his final defeat. The fruits of that
great victory are set forth Ill a strik-
ing, manner in the following table:—

Story of the Victory
The despatch is in two parts, the
first dealing with the critical days in
April, following the, enemy's March
offensive, when eight British divisions
were so far reduced that they were
temporarily written off as fighting
units, and five divisions were sent to
what was expected to be a quiet sec-
tor of the French front; and the
second, part from the British offensive
in July until the days of the armis-
tice.
The second period arrived when the
swelling list of German Casualties and`
the steady influx of American and Al-
lied reinforcements had produced an

equilibrium of strength
opposing farces.
The complete success of the Allied
counter-attack on the 1Stli July near
Soissons marked the turning point in
the year's campaign, and commenced
the second phase of the Allied opera-
tions, Thereafter the initiative lay
with the Allies, and the growing su-
periority of their forces enabled them
to .roll hack the tide of invasion with
ever-inoreasing swiftness. At this
point and in this connection I should
like to pay my personal tribute to the
foresight and determination of the
French Marshal, in whose hands the
co-ordination of the action of the Al-
lied Armies was placed.
The following are the great series
of British victories described in the
despatch:—
Amiens (August 3.12),
The Scarpe (Aug, 26 Sept. 3).
Cambial and the Hindenburg Line
(Sept- 27 Oct, 5).
Le Cateau (Oct. 6-12),
Bapaume (Aug. 21 -Sept. 1).
liavrincaurt and Epehy (Sept. 12-18)
Flanders (Sept. 28).
Selle River (Oct. 17.25).
Sambre (Nov. 1-11).
The return to Mons (Nov. 11).
Three months of Epic Fighting.
In three months ofepic fighting
the British Armies in France have
brought to a sudden and dramatic end
the great wearing out battle of the
past four years.
In our admiration for this outstand-
ing achievement the long years of
patient and heroic struggle by which
the strength and spirit of the enemy
were gradually broken down cannot
be forgotten.
The strain of those years, was never -
ceasing: the demands they made up-
on the best of the Empire's manhood
are now known.
Yet throughout all those years, and
amidthe hopes and disappointments
they brought with then. the confi-
dence of our troops in final victory
never wavered.
The work begun and persevered in
so steadfastly by those brave men has
been completed durfug the present
year with a thoroughness to which the
event bears witness, and with a gal-
lantry which will live for all time in
the history of our country. e
The annals of war hold record of no
more wonderful recovery than that
which, three months after the tre-
mendous blows showered upon them
on the Somme and on the Lys, -saw
the undefeated British Armies ad-
vancing from victory to victory, driv-
ing their erstwhile triumphant. enemy
back to and far beyond the line from
which he started, and finally forcing
him to acknowledge unconditional de-
feat.
Sir Douglas Haig concludes his des-
patch, which is dated December 21st,
with the following tribute to the ac-
cord of the Allies:—
At
llies:—At the moment when the final
triumph of the Allied cause is assured,
we and all others of the Allied and
Associated Armies. can look back on
the years that have gone with a satis-
faction undimmed byrany hint of dis-
cordor conflict of interests and ideals.
Few alliances of the past can boast
such a record.
Few can show a purpose more ten-
aciously and faithfully pursued, or so
fully and gloriously realized. If the
complete unity and harhony of our
action is to be ascribed in Part to the
justice of our cause..it is due also to
the absolute loyalty with which that
cause has been pursued by all those
entrusted with the control of the dif-
ferent Allied armies that have fought
side by side with ours,

GERMANY'S DICTATOR.
Herr Ebert is Well Known as a
Socialist Newspaper Writer.
Although often referred, to as a sad-
dler and tanner, Herr Ebert, Ger-
many's dictator, is really a journalist.
In his early days he was apprenticed
to a harness -maker, but at" the age of
twenty-one he became the editor of a
Socialist newspaper, his articles in
'which attracted much attention..
A keen debater and clever politi-
cian, he has great influence among
the organized workers of the Father-
land.
He now says' that no true German
would have treated the unfortunate
Belgians as they, have done. But it
won't be forgotten, that when Beth-
mann-Hollweg proclaimed that "ne-
cessity, knows no Iaw," and that Ger-
many was "backing her way through
Belgium;' he was one of the Socialist

"There is no doubt that the forma

attributed to the Prince of Monaco by

there. The correspandent recalls
that the Prince of Mone was form-
erly a personal friend of Emperor
William, but that frierdahip was
severed by the prince in ar telegram
sent to the former Emperor in 'Sep-
tember, 1914:
"Until a few years before the.

Why Linens Are Scarce.
Linens 'are not cheap now, but they
may be still dearer, as the material
will be very scarce for the next two
years. One reason is that before the
war ninety per cent, of the flax used
in. Irish linens was grown outside of
'Ireland, prii'ncipally in Russia and Bel-
gium. While Ireland is now.. increas-
ing the amount of home-grown flax,
this takes time, and in the meantime
linens will consequently be scarce, and
therefore expensive.
the end: of two years it is likely
that prices will gradually commence
to go down again; as production of
flax is increased;, but it takes two
years to complete the process of linen,
manufacture from the growing of the
flax to the final process that converts
the raw material into the finked' pro-
duct:

FOUR NATIONS NOW STARVING.
Wray Not. Get Enough Food in Time to
Prevent a Catastrophe.
George H. Roberts, the British Food
Minister, speaking .at Newcastle the
other day, said that he could state on
absolutely unimpeachable authority
that the situation with regard to food
conditions in great areas of Europe
was nc.thing less than tragic.
"It is not too much to say that Rou-
mania is starving,. that Serbia is starv-
ingr that Austria is starving and that
Germany is starving," he declared.
"Ever since the armistice was signed
the allies have been doing what they
could to relieve the situation and food
should be, or is being, sent to all the
countries I have named. But it is not
enough, and the question now arisles
whether we shall be able to get suf-
ficient food to those countries in time
to prevent a catastrophe,
"The Supreme Council in Paris is
straining every nerve to meet the
situation. I am going over to Paris
on Monday to attend the sleeting of
the Council, and pray it may be pos-
sible for us to take such emergency
measures as may stave off the threat-
ened disaster.
"Clearly we cannot complacently
watch Europe starving and feed .our-
selves to the full. That is not the
spirit of this nation, which, through
its unselfishness, won the war. We
are going to'help, and ie helping means
that the situation here does not im-
prove as rapidly as it otherwise would,
this country, I am sure, will not;
grumble. As soon as the people real-
ize the .appalling seriousness of the
situation which is developing in Eu-
rope, they will be the first to call up-
on the Government to intervene."

An English election story is told of

Speaker's chair in the British House

teen years, He was once canvassing
for election to Parliament when he ac-
costed a farmer one day, and adopted
sweet persuasive measures to the
usual end. "Vote for you?" exclaimed
the farmer, who had secretly cast in
his lot with the opposite , faction.
"Vote for you? I would sooner vote
for the devil."
"But supposing your friend doesn't
