LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE TiUcS's expert
concludes his analysis of Field Marshal
Sir John French's despatch as follows:
I'VE can little doubt that nothing but
prompt retreat. cool leading and hard
lighting qualities saved the British
army from destruction, but at great loss
to itself. The little army fulfilled its
mission. for had the German troops
swarmlng southwark on August 23 not
come up against the successive bar
rlers presented by Sir John French they
would in all probability have crossed the
Sambre by August "a and would have
crushed the French armies retreating
