GERMAN NUMBERS IN FRANCE.
GERMAN NUMBERS IN FRANCE. So intense has been the genial interest in the man-power pro- posals of the Government that yes- terday full consideration of the im- portant military newt" contained in the Prime Minister's speech had necessarily to be postponed. We revert to it here because, whilst Mr. George's speech contained sufficient matter to induce the gravest national mood, it revealed also a situation that is at once con- soling and encouraging. After thë sharpest lesson a country could have inflicted upon it, we havè at last revised that such a war M this loannot be conducted upon the I hmited liability principle. All the iresoure'es of the Allies must be pooled, and unity of command must be secured. The tragedy of 1918 has been that we were blind to these things up to the German off- ensive, and that a .small but highly vocal section of the country had wilfully resisted every proposal which the bro main armies In France could fight as one. "All re- crimination at this hour must be shut out," said the Prime Mini- ster with characteristic generosity of soul considering the difficulties deliberately placed in his path. Let us shut them out—but let us en- grave the lesson upon our hearts. What had been the fate, of the War Cabinet's efforts to secure the essential unity of command? Hitherto I regret that every effort at amendment has led to rather prolonged and very bitter controversy (said Mr. Lloy; George), and these difficulties, fhese great inherent difficulties, were themselves accentuated and aggra- vated. There were difficulties of carry- ing out plans and other obstacles, and, what is woree, valuable time is lost. The Kaiser is said to have relied upon our ragged state in these matters to win victory for him. Happily, in the shock of combat, circumstances themselves solved our troubleE. National preju- dices, national interests, profes- sional prejudices, traditions"— they vanished. Time—valuable time—had been lost but in the stress of the battle men's minds saw clearly what was the greatest need, There are some opening words in the following sentence of the Prime Minister that will be read with surprise by our deecen- dants when they read the story of the 1918 campaign in which the German power exhausted itself: A few days after the battle com- menced, not* merely the Government but thl Commanders in the field-we had not merely the field-marshals, but all the Army Commanders present- were so convinced—and the same thing applied to the French, they were so oftrineed-of the importance of more complete strategic unity, that they agreed-to the appointment of General Foch to the supreme direction of the strategy of all the Allied Armies on the Western front. The pity of it-" a few days after the battle cocnmence4" I Sobering words for the-disgruntled critics who are eager for any weapon against Mr. Lloyd George. "»■ ■ f How far the great initial success of the Germans was due to their unity of command cannot of course be said. But in numbers they did not have that preponderance we have been driven to believe they must have had in France ere they could mass before St. Quentin as they did. Owing to the growth of the strength of our Armies in 1917, when the battle began the comba- tant strength of the whole of the Gesrman Army on the Western front was only, approximately, though not quite, equal to the total combatant strength of the Allies. In infantry they were slightly inferior, in artillery they were inferior, in cavalry they were considerably in- ferior, and .were undoubtedly in- ferior in aircraft. How then did they pierce our front, strongly pre- pared as we were told it had been to resist the enemy? There was, first of all the disadvantage we laboured under of having a dual command. Weather also favoured I the Germans. A wounded officer told a friend of the Prime Minister, a general, that under ordinary con- ditions no one could at this time of the year walk across that pa.rt1 which was traversed by the Ger- mans, but it just happened to be absolutely dry and firm, and they were enabled to get across ground which no one had any right to ex- pect would have been in such a con- dition at this eeason. Not only that, but the fact that it was warm increased the mist, and the Ger-, mans were actually, in some parts, within a few yards of our front line before anyone knew of their ap- proach. It was quite impossible to observe them. This was a special disadvantage to us inasmuch as our scheme of organisation in that par-1 ticular part depended Irgely upon cross line fire of machine-guns and artillery. The Germans had there- fore that very special advantage, of which they made the fullest use. I For the rest, the failure of the Fifth I Army to hold the line of the Somme until the Germans had brought up their guns, and perhaps the failure adequately to destroy. the bridges," are matters for inquiry. Another important point was brought out by the Prime Minister. One of the most serious disappoint- ments from which the Allies have suffered, and one of- their chief causes of anxiety, has been the American reinforcement. Mr. George enables us to understand now the tone of his recent message to the United States, the urgency of which caused much comment. In America there was a very con- siderable number of men in course of training, and the Allies looked forward to having a large American Army in Franee in the spring. It has taken longer than was antici- pated to train those soldiers into the necessary divisional organiza- tion. If America waited to com- plete these divisional organizations it would not be possible for theee fine troops in any large numbers to take part in this battle. The Americans have not been poured into France, as trained and effec- tive soldiers, and transport has not been the only reason to account for it. « Upon one other cause of conten- tion, light was thrown. Critics have accused the Government 14 squandering our strength away from the main war-theatre. The truth is that Italy has to be re- garded as part of that main theatre because it ties down the Austrian ilrmy instead of freeing it for ser- vice in the west. In Mesopotamia there is only one white division, and in Egypt and Palestine to- gether there are only three white divisions, and the rest are either Indians or mixed With A very smill proportion of British troops in those divisions. We have utilised to the I full the resources of the Empire.
