Sir Doujtlns Ilalir. in his Hnnl dlspntvb.
now made public, presents an important
review of the war and describes In de
Intl the expansion and achievements of
the Itritisli nrmv. with ninny remark
able facts and figures. He treats the
operations on the western front iik a
siiiKle continuous campaign, in which
can be tprojcnlreil the same Renernl fea

two and a luilf jears of rnntlict. by
which time heavy caMiulties had nlre.idy
been incurred. It was not until mld-j

inused anxiety, it was only in 1018
that aitilleiy operations could be con
ducted without auy limiting considera
tion bi'.tond that of transport.
'Tlio mnrgin with which the German
onrush of 101-1 was stemmed was xo
narrow and the subsequent struggle was
so scveie that the word 'miraculous' is
IuimPv too strong a term to describe the
m-oteiy and ultimate victory of the
Allies.
The breakdown of Itussin in 1017
nrobablv prolonged the war bv n jear.
and the military situation in Italy in
the autumn of 1017 necessitated the
I transfer of five llritlsh divisions to Italy
i nt a time when their presence in Vranee
i might have hud far-reaching effects."
1 Kattles of 1BI0 Won War
Sir Douglas records the interesting
fact (hat more than half the ilritish
casualties in the lighting of 101S oc-
leurred duilug the five months from
'Match to Jtilv. when the Allies were
on the defensive.
' "The rapid collapse of Germany's
military powers in the hitter half of
101S," he wm. "was the logical out -
oine of the fighting of the previous two
vein's. It would not have taken place
but for that period of ceaseless nttrltion
whiili used up the German leserves. it
is in the great battles of 101IJ and 1017
Hint all hnve to seek for the secret of
our victory in 1018."
The value of cavalry in modern wnr is
emphasized by Sir Douglas Haij;, pml,
in discussing the value of mechanical :
(ontriviinces such as tanks, he observes
that, immense as their inlluenee might
hnie been, they could not bvtheni-
seltes decide a campaign. Their true
, role is to assist infantrymen, by whose
'rifles and bajoncts only can decisive
victory be won.
j Shot 1.1.000 Tons in Day.
The expansion of Ilritish personnel, I
artillery, iiiumunition transport, "rail-
way construction and establishments
of every kind in Trance is dwelt upon
b the field marshal. Kegarding machine!
guns, the TSritish oiiinment increased
troni one gun to fiOO infantrvmen in
1014 to one to twenty infantrymen in
1015 The -IS."i pieces of nrtilleo' with
which the Itritisli took the field in 10M
were represented at the date of the ar
mistice by 0-137.
On (ho first day of the Homme battle,
In 101(1. nearly 13,000 tons of nrtlllery
ammunition were fired liv the British

tons were expended, and In the three
days of the crucial battle on Septem
ber 27, 2S and 20, 1018. nearly (l.".O00
tons were fired by the Ilritish artillery.
Sir Douglas says that the feature of
the wnr which to the historian may
well appear most noteworthy is the
creation of the new Ilritish nriny. which
was successfully built up in the very
midst of the wnr.
"The totnl of more thnn 327.000 Ger
man prisoners raptured liv us on fhe
western front," saja Sir Douglas. "Is
In striking contrast to the force of six
divisions, comprising some 6(1,000 fight
lug men, with which we entered the
war. That we should have been able to
accomplish this stupendous task is due
partly to the loyalty nnd devotion of our
allies and to the splendid work of the
rojal navy, but mainly to the wonderful
spirit of fhe Ilritish -ace in all parts
of the world."
Ilalg Defends Caalry
Willi respect lo the use of cavalry.
Sir Douglas Haig contends that in the
light of full experience of the war the
decision to preserve the cavulry corps
has been completely justified.
"It has been proved." he adds, "that
e.'vnlry, whether used for shock effect
under suitable conditions, or as mobile
infantry, still has nn indispensable port
lo piny in modern wnr. Moreover, it
cannot snfely be assured that In nil
future wars the flanks of the opposing
forces will rest on neutral stntcs or
tnmnasnhln nhatnrlps."
The field marshal dcvolcs a special
' section to "Why we attacked when
'cer possible." in which he snjs:
' "The object of all war is victory, nnu
i a purely dcfcns'ne attitude con tncvcr
.bring about a successful decision. '
1 He emphasizes that the defensive role
sooner or later produces a lowering ot
morale, while the defender becomes al
most entirely ignorant of bis opponent's
dispositions and plans.
