Sees End of Withdrawal.

What is Of immediate interest now is
whether we have seen the end of the
German withdrawal Conceivably this
is the case. But the recent retreat has
materially narrowed the whole great
salient, pushed in between the Somme and
Arras which is the westernmost sector OF
the Germans in France. Early in the
war all writer's attached too much i'm
portancc to the tactical weakness Of
salients. In theory. a salient is bad
position to hold, because IL is inside Of
a curve. and the enemy can place his
artillery all along the edge of the
circle and shoot at you from three
sides But. in fact, many salients
have been retained. and the Brltlsh
salient at Ypres. much narrower than
the German salient here. has defied all
attack.
ing dispute in the British army as to
the wisdom of holding the lpreS
salient. which has no military value
now and Is held at a very heavy reg
ular cost in casualties.
Hence there is sound reason for be-
lieving that the Germans will, under
new pressure and in much the same
fashion, withdraw out of the narrowed
salient between Arras and the British
front just south of Bapaume. The rail
road from Achiet to Arras, or the road
from Bapaume to Arras. which cut the
base of this salient, would, either one
of them, be a natural halting place
The effect of this retreat would be
limited. The British would gain GER
tain amount of ground. Their position
in Arras would be improved. because
Arras is now in a narrow salient and
only one of the several roads into the
city That from st. Pol is not within
German view and thus under heavy
fire.
But I am anxious to make clear to
my readers that all these retirements
have now only a local value. because
the Germans have had time to COM
plete a vast system of trench lines
and fortified villages far behind the
line for which the British fougl~ SO

Germans should be forced from the

drew cut of the salient. They evacuated
Serre and Gommecourt, both Mirou-
mont and 1rles: in sum. they got out
of an awkward corner and Strengthened
their line. What had been long mar
row salient protrudng into the British
lines was cut off at the base.
Such a retreat in the early days OF
the battle of the Somme would have
been considerable success, because
in those days the Germans had not
coult batter down the defenses on
which they had expended so much
labor and there were not yet second
and third line positions back from the
front: that is, there were first, second
and third lines-all German positions
are thus defended-but there were not
other similar systems in the rear.
But the British attack. while proving
that the British guns could pound a
way through the German defenses, fail
ed to open a way in time to enable
the British to get clear through into
the open. Very quickly it became evil
dent that the Germans were going to
have time to construct new lines while
the British were battering down the
first positions.
The result has been that the Germans
have covered the whole of this portion
OF France with trench lines. Sir Doug
las Haig told me that these lines, plans
of which the British had obtained
through aeroplane' photographs. lex
tended right back to the French from
tier.
Thus it is that the Germans, in draw
ing out of the Gommecourt salient
have merely fallen back upon new lines
two miles behind their old lines: they
have chosen period of bad weather
to retreat, and the British will be un-
able to extend their lines and conSoli
date their new ground until the wealth
er changes. 1t may be several weeks
perhaps two months. before they will
be able to construct new gun positions
and get up their artillery. All of this
time the Germans viii be hard at work
completing their new defenses, and, of
course. expanding other lines behind
their present position.

Warfare Never
Desired by Czeehs.


Desired by Czeehs. viswsd The
Czechs never desired participation in a
struggle which from racial and other
etandpoints was repugnant to them.
Privations since have only heightened
their antipathy. They have felt that
Austria was being made pawn by the
kaiser and his cohorts in Berlin. The
Czechs, who formed a large proportion
of the Austrian army. proved to be alb
solutely untrustworthy against the
Russian armies. Sedition and mutiny
were rife. The Austrian comma nders
soon found that their armies were made
of straw. The weak links were COM
ganization followed and the Czechs
were distributed in all branches of the
army and not permitted, generally
speaking, to maintain their individual
identity as regiments or military or
ganiza tions.
The people at home aided and abetted
the activities Of those troops who re-
fused 10 fight against the Rus
slams. This lack of aid when
aid was most needed in the facilitation
of troop movements against the Rus
slams was great handicap to the
Austrians.
tnfavorable criticism of Austria's S
acts has spread to Hungary, where il is
declared, there is a strong feeling that
the Germans are having too much OF Il
say in the affairs of the government.
1t is declared that in Vienna the Ger
mans have their fingers on even the
smallest branches of governmental
activities. while the Austrian armies
are practically in command of German
generals and lesser military leaders.
The domination of the Germans was
particularly marked during the later
days of Emperor Francis Joseph who
for years had been completely under
the thumb of the kaiser Premier
Tisza of Hungary is declared to be ex-
tremely unpopular because of the fact
that he is avowedly pro-German. The
people of Hungary are declared to be
more openly conniving to throw off
dictation at the hands of Germany. The
cause Of peace is said to be growing in
strength everywhere.
