THE WAR artrATioN.
Most of the war news during the
past tWeek ha e been of a political na-
ture, more especiany from Britain,
wheice a political contest has been
waging for some days. The trouble
arose over tie resignation or dismissal
of General Sir William Robertson from
'the post of Chief of Staff. Sir William
is a self-made man, or.`in the lang-
uage of - English soldiery„ a ranker,
and. his rise from the ranks to the
position of Chief of Staff has been
effected by sheer ability on his part,
and without outside help of any kind.
'This being the case he was natural-
ly; looked upon as being one of the
foremost soldiers of the British Em-
pire, and inspired a reat deal of -con-
fidence throughout thee country. ' His
removal, therefore, has caused a
great furore, many claiming. that his
removal Was brought About for polit-
ica not military reasons, and blamed
Lloyd -George and the Government for
it. Such, however, was not the case,
as the Pretnier fully showed in his
speech in the British House of Com-
' mons on, Friday last. It is a well -
'mown fact that the cause of the Al-
lies has suffeted in the past from a
similar lack of authority on the part
of one Allied military head with those
of another, and it wee to overcome-,
this defect that Great Britain. France,
• America and Italy, at the conference
held at Versailles, decided on a -policy
• of unified military effort tinder a sin-
gle directing body, believing that if
the Allies were( to wage a war of a
most vigorous_ character against the
Germane, itiwas absolutely peceesary
to unite All1th4i forces into a single
: unit of military power, striking every
_
blow to a erand system of canniaign,
without wasting strength in minor
engagements or disrelated offensives
on the diffeir fronts. In plain words,
,
the policy i opted was "all pull to-
gether," instead of every man for
himself, as it has pretty much been
heretofore. To this plan General Rob-
ertson did not agree, feeling; that the
new council would usurp much of his
authority as Chief of Staff, and offer-
ed to resign, which action caused the
whole disturbance. There is not a
question of doubt but that General
Robertsen is a most cepable and effi-
cient Professional soldier. This war,
- however, is like no other war, in that
it has been found necessary to go out-
side the -ranks of the professional
soldier for Men to carry it on success-
fully. The military men riaturally are
prejudiced against this /outside help,
and blame Lloyd -George for interfer-
ing with affairs the ight or wrong
r
'of which he is not cafable of judging.
On Lloyd -George,, however, as head
of the Government, lies the blame or
praise and no one can say that he
has not done his part, better in fact
than probably any other man in the
British Empire cold do in his posi-
tion. He has taken i men where he
could find them, regardless of military
or political tradition, and we believe it
is to this very fact that his success
is due.It has often been said that
. the 'English nation likes to do its
washing in public, which seems, by
• recent events, to be very true, but
now that the washing is done and
hung out on the line, all the Allied
countries hope to see her buckle down
-.unitedlieto work again, and we firmly
believe she will, and at once.
On the Russian front, despite the
fact that the Russian Bolsheviki -Gov-
ermnent has capitulated, and announ-
ced its readiness to sign a peace com-
pact under the hard term imposed by
Germany. German troops' are advan-
cing; into Russia over a front of 400
miles, and their advance so far has
met With iittle opposition. • Petrograd
is apparently the German destination
and events on the surface would indi-
cate that she can reac-h her goal when-
ever she chooses. /
On the Western front every report
strengthens the belief that the German
offensive is undoiibtediy very near.
From numerous German prisoners re-
cently taken it is learned that the
programme to be followed in the com-
ing attack by the Germans will ' be
very similar to that used on the Rus-
sian and Italian fronts, the intention
being, to take the Allies largely by
surprise. There is to be no prolonged
bombardment, but immediately pre-
ceding the attack there will be a short
bombardment with gas and. high ex-
plosive shells, behind which the men
will come. in a grand rush. Tanks and
armored cars will also do their share.
There is, however, no fear on • the
part of the Allies. They appear to
be absolutely ready, and eagerly a-
wait the outcome.
Three separate, air raids were made
over England on Saturday, Sunday
and Monday nights last, but very lit-
tle damage was done. Only one Ger-
man was able to pierce the city de-
fences in the three raids, but he caus-
ed some loss a life inethe outskirts
of the/ city. Apparently the anti,
croft defences .have been . so grea
improved that the Germans are find-
ing
it increasingly difficult to .pentee
ate them:The total calivalties were
some forty in killed and wounded.1
