" THE MONSTROUS • .,ENIGMA."
THE MONSTROUS • ENIGMA." We ate in the second week of March, and the weather in France is said to be suitable for big fight- ing. But no German attack has yet come! Is the much-vaunted enemy offensive going to materialise? Men on the spot cannot answer. The monstrous enigma of this spring," says one of the correspondents, puts a question which no oracle ca.n answer." And Idr: Bonar Law, in one of the most candid reviews of the military situation this coun- try ha.s had given 4, addressing himself to the same problem, con- tents himself by saying What will happen no one can tell." It is the business of the general staff to as- certain as many of the secrets of the enemy as ingenuity can wrest; from them-but it is equally the business of the staff to make sure that the enemy does not know wh,tt it. has discovered. So far, all the positive knowledge made public is contained in statement's of pri- soners, and there is singular agree- ment among the Boches who have been captured that a great German attack is in process of preparation. Reading between the lines ot Mr. Bonar Law's speech, however, some legitimate inferences may be made. At the present time, both as regards men and guns, the Allies have, if anything, a slight superi- ority in the West. 'We have seen that in air power, and in raiding qualities, we have recently excelled our opponents. If the battle were joined straight away, we could face the prospects with grave serenity. One little fact mentioned by Mr. Law reveals the thoroughness of our preparation for an attempt to get through our lines. During January and February we have put up more barbed wire than was used in the whole course of last year. We have got ready also in other directions, and the Chancellor was quite justified in asserting that our soldiers are confident that they can stand any attack which can he" made against them. So we need not wonder why the Boche has not struck yet. He is not going to tackle a forlorn hope. He is wait- ing. until conditions are more favourable to his success. If we could see into the mind ci the enemy, we would doubtless find tha.t the situation is as great a cause of perplexity to him as to ourselves. Can he further deplete the Eastern front? Even if he can, the material is not first-class. And, treating, as one front the sweep of the Allied line between Nieuport and Venice, we still have the balance in man- power. Herein we have the best apology for the new arrangemerit of the Versailles Council, The enemy will make his throw where he thinks we are weakest, and to meet him we must regard British, French, and Italian armies as one. We cannot fight in compartments.. It is worthy of note that both Mr. Law and Mr. Asquith, in their survey of the field, used hopeful language 'about Russia. As a mili- tary power she is out of it as far as the campaign of this year js con- cerned, but even in her present chaotic state and apparently under the heel of the conqueror, she can be a source of deep disquiet to the Germans. Dr. Harold Williams, one of the correspondents who still remain in the capital, says that the disgraceful peace is the end of the old war-but the beginning of a new, tougher and more complex war. The demobilisation order is accompanied by an order to arm tht- whole people, and Dr. Williams says that the various currents of hostility to' Germany may coalese in a big national movement of re- sistance to the German invasion. Mr. Bonar Law's reference To Salonika is disquieting, but here also we have had ample time to put ourselves into a strong defensive position. When we went firsi to Salonika, to many it seemed the key which would unlock Central Europe to the armies of the En- i tente. But to others it appeared a wasteful and risky diversion of our forces from the main front. Looking at the position from one point of view it would seem a sad waste 'of man- power to maintain an army here, but there are other considerations which have to be remembered. The holding of Salonika helps us to keep the Mediterranean reasonably safe for cur constant traffic in con- nection. with the Syrian and the Mesopotamian campaigns. Austria, whoso greedy eye has always been upon this outlet to the sea, may seek to wrest it from us, but in view of her Italian commitments, it 's not likely that she will attempt any movement in force. Mr. Law al lowed himself to say that the posi- I ti';ii become dangerous, but when w?? think Of the calls in other theatres of war, and the gradual  decline of the enemy's bs?on?t strength we may question whether Germany will ^llow any diversion to be made in this region at a time when. she is scraping together- every man and boy she can get for the V> f,. r,j-
