whole year or more critics In the United
States, whose only iGea of warfare was
that of constant action, have continu-
ously asked why it was Great Britain,
which had recruited between three and
four million men, should be doing moth
ing on the Western front. They com
planned that France was left alone at
Nerdun and elsewhere. They did not
realize that France knew she had AT
her disposal at any moment the British
troops, which were holding their OWL
line at the front and steadily extend
ing il. They did not remember that at
the beginning of the war Great Britain
was armed on a basis of a mere hand
full of men; that all the machinery OF
equipment was on a basis of the hand
full. and that having men-a million or
two millions-she still could not equip
them because she had not factories OF
munitions except upon the scale OF the
handful.
But what is the condition of al
fairs to-day? There are enough mu-
nitions. Why? Because big men have
given their brains and skill to the
task of organization; because the
manual workers of England have
reused themselves to a complete sense
of duty; because they have gwen up
trades union regulations for the pc
riod of the war; because, without muir
muriue. they have thrown up their
holidays; because hundreds and thou
sands of women have joined the mu-
nitionc works or have entered into
fields Of occupation formerly monop-
olized by men.
Waited Until Ready.
"ln spite of criticism and complaint,
England would not and did not move
on the Western front until she was
ready. although she was willing TO
help at Verdun, if needed, and said so.
And she was not ready until she could
dominate, as she has done, the German
artillery by greater weight OF
metal; until, making a move forward
over the whole of her line, with
France moving forward on the whole
of her line. they both could make good
their successes. mile by mile, and
steadily and surely diminish the ca
pacity Of resistance upon the part OF
Germany. This they have done.
"What is the position to-day? Every
one Of the Allies has moved forward,
and at the same time, and every one
has succeeded, as she has moved.

elsewhere. has succeeded in her field
against Austria Germany cannot put
forward her men 10 help Austria
Austria is harassed by Italy and by
Russia. Germany is harassed and
hammered by England, Russia. France
and Belgium.
There is no rest for Germany any
where. She cannot shift her troops
from front to front, as she did in the
early days of the war, smashing one
enemy here and then whlsking her
troops over to smash another enemy
there.

made mistakes. but England has made

ments were returned in the federal
courts here as a result of the Tanner
Osborne suit for $25O,0OO James w.
Osborne, formerly an assistant district

Der Of the New York bar, repeatedly

out as the elusive sutton. Mr. Osborne
declared under oath that he had never
seen Miss Tanner until they met in
court. A hotel clerk who testified that
he had seen the lawyer and Miss Tan
ger together on one occasion, later was
indicted and convicted on a charge of
perjury. Miss Tanner also was in
dicted on the same charge.
After Miss Tanner brought her suit
it was announced by James w. Os-
borne that man who claimed to be
"Oliyer" Osborne, a mechanic. of Bos-
ton. had voluntarily called upon him,

pear there at the time appointed. The
federal authorities since then have
been searching for him, it has been
understood.
