London. Dec. 2s.-Fog and shell
holes were chiefly responsible for
stopping the Anglo-F>rench Somme Of
fensive and will probably prevent it's
resumption until March.
This statement was made today by
Major-General Frederick B. Maurice,
chief director of military operations
at the war Office. No real battle has
been offered on the Somme since Oc-
tober, said Major General Maurice.
He admitted that the allied high COM
mand had underestimate both the
effect of the artillery Smelling which
left the country "thickly sprinkled
with shell holes filled with water"
and tho fog on the Somme valley.
Major-General Maurice announced
for the first time that the British have
taken over another sector of the
French front This next best thing"
he said kept them busy for the last
ten days. He added he would be
glad to reveal the extent of the line
taken over, when l am sure the
