S[XENGLISH TO
ONE COLONIAL
ONWESTLINE
Maurice Corrects Idea Colonies
Do All Fighting; Explains
Why Fighting Has Eased Up

LONDON, Eng. Aug 20.-Maj Gen.
F. B. Maurice, chief director Of mill
tary operations at the var office, IN
his weekly talk to the Associated
Press today, said:
In the last month I have received
! a remarkable number Of letters from
the United States showing now wide
spread is the belief that the British
have let the allied and colonial troops
do the most of their fighting. This is
part of the German propaganda in the
United States.
have prepared for you q few sta
tistics to show how far this is ul-
true.
At the present monent the British
troops in FRANCE are six TO. one as
compared with all overseas troops. and
the total casualties in France through.
out the war have been in the proper
ton of So British to l overseas. In
the Ypres-Lens fighting since July 81,
the casualties have stecl nine British
to one colonial.
The last week has been marked b.
a pause on all the western front-a
pause which was inevitable after the
great successes OF the previous week,
pause accentuated by the bad
weather that affected The operations
all the way from The North Sea to the
Italian seacoast.
At the moment, il is the Italian
front where the situation is the most
interesting. Here, also, after really
important advance. there now comes
pause pending the REIMBURSEMENT OF
the artillery positions. There is much
more to be done turing these pauses.
The problem is whether General Ca.
dorna will be able to get his guns
posted for the renewal of tie opera
lions before the Austrian get up ade.
quate reserves, some of which are be-
ing brought from the Russo'Ruman-
ian front. That is the problem in
the pauses in all these battles-the
race between the preparations OF Of.
tense and defense.
In Flanders the process of wearing
down the Germans by continuous bonn.
bardment, continuous air fighting and
continuous infantry raids, is being
kept up and is having far greater
effect than is generally realized. This
effect is shown in the constant neces-
sity imposed on the Germans of with.
drawing and replacing units.
We now are in the first phase of the
Flanders battle We are exhaustins
with good success the German re,
serves, and later will come the sec.
ond phase to which we are all looking
forward confidently.

CONDEMNS M|SSOUR|AN
FOR HOOVER ATTACK
M. D. Mum Says Senator Reeds
Criticism Should Be Disapproved
by AL Americans.

Herbert c. Hoover. in response to the
call OF his country, has voluntarily ten
dered his valua bic services for public use,
and, as a reward, he is assailed by a
supposed public servant in the legislative
halls of the nation to which he Is CIV
ing his services" declares a statement
from NJ. d. Mum, president Of the Ma
tional Dairy Council and the American
Jersey Cattle Club, organizations repre-
senting more,than 500, goo men engaged in
the dairy industry.
Continuing in defense OF Mr. Hoover
against the attack made upon him by SEN
ator Reed in the Senate, Mr.. Mum says:
Il feel that every loyal American citizen
owes it to himself and his country to
publicly express his disapproval and con-
demnation Of the political and personal
attack made. under the guise of legislative
debate. on loyal and patriotic men Of this
nation, who are voluntarily giving their
services TO the nation in this its hour
OF need.
II recognize and willingly concede to
every man. in and out of Congress. the
right TO express his Convictions as to the
wisdom OF proposed legislation relating to
honorable means In reasonable public
debate in advocating those convictions
But every citizen, inspired with the
ideals of our democracy and prompted
by sense of the justice and decency that
should support these ideals, should resent
and condemn the wanton assault made in
the Senate on the character and reputa-
ton Of Mr.. Hoover and some OF his as
sociates now voluntarily giving their time
and ability in the aid Of the people Of
this nation"
