Byng Is Severely
Criticised for British
Reverse at Cambria
I Ntuf COTTcsDOuGeECcI

LONDON. Dec. 12.-"The Manchester
Guardians" military critic severely
criticises the British command for
what he terms the grave errors made
in the Battle Of Cambria. which ended
in a defeat FOR General Byngs army.
lie writes rs follows:
ITO what are we 20 attribute tins
last defeat for defeat it d., when
wipes out most Of our territorial gains
in the latest victory ard robs us OF
tho military prestige acquired by II /.
One answer is that the detection OF
Russia enabled the enemy 90 bring up
fresh troops. but when allowance is
made for the .forcements from Rus
STA, the Allies in the West are stu IN
ell probability numerically superior 10
the enemy; II we are outnumbered
locally it is not the Russians fault.
The true answer is that we must
blame ourselves. and. as for the next
few months at least we must carry the
main burden on our own shoulders, lt
is time we began TO look for faults At
home. They are these: First. we are
still without the means Of following up
a victory rapidly; second, the Germans
have always said that when the war
reached the open our generals, trained
in trench warfare. would be at loss.
"Tkis battle was the first test IN the
open since 1914. and We have not come
well out of il. Doubtless the size oil
Byng's victory took every one by sur
prise. but when it was gained IT was
the business TO ram every man nome
with so great prize in view.
at is difficult to believe that II we
had been as quick in victory as the
Germans were in defeat We would not
have taken Cambria. Why were we
not? Was il through imperfect lateral
or for lack OF quick
strategic conception or control over
various armies on the front?
Lastly. the operations against Cam
brai. apart from the forgiveablc tacti-
cal mistakes, were ruined by the sur
prise Of the Germans on the right
wing. which carried the enemy well
within our lines. How came this sur
prise 10 be possible? This flank obvI-
ouslv was Of extreme importance.
at. may be that General Byng had
insufficient troops, and, having to do
the best he could with & small force,
chose 10 put his main strength into
the operations against Bourbon Wood.
He may have been badly served by the
air service or by the intelligence Of
the general movements Of the enemy's
troops, or the fault may be with some
subordinate officer

Tinkham Liable to Death
IF Captured by Austria

WASHINGTON, Dec. r. Represent
atiYe Tinkham, by firing an Italian
gun at the Austrian positions. has
taken on the status Of non-combatant
attacking troops and, according TO the
rules Of warfare, laid himself liable
to execution by the Austrians should
he by any chance fall into their hands.
Under the laws of war, civilian may
never engage in hostilities.
The temper Of the German govern
ment toward such incidents was plain
~ displayed early in the war, when
orders we're issued 20 the German
troops 70 promptly execute any Ameri-
cans found fighting with the British
or French. The orders described them
as with arms in their hands from a
country with which Germany was at
peace
The fact that war has been declared
does not alter the situation, and any
American found engaging in hostilities,
regardless of his position in civil life,
is regarded as franc-tireur.

u. S. Representative
In Italy Fires First
Shot Against Austria

ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS
IN NORTHERN ITALY, Tuesday. Dec.
1.-THE first American shot against
Austria was fired By Representative
Tinkham, OF Boston, on the lower
Piave. when Mr.. Tinkham pulled a
string firing a large 149-milimetre gun,
sending a she'll hurting across the
Piave to the Austrian positions at
Comic.
A huge cloud of blsc!: smoke marked
the place where the shell burst. The
Italian batterymen gathered around
the gun and raised a cheer as the
American fred
Representative TInkham fired the
shot By invitation OF the colonel in
command near bona di Piave. The
she'll was sent on its journey during a
heavy artillery fire along the Piave and
the Northern front. The bombardment:
was especially concentrated back OF
Mount Grappa, between the Pave and
Brenta rivers. This may be an indi-
cation of another drive on the Italian
lines from that direction.

America Made Possible
The Fall of Jerusalem,

LONDON, Dec. 12.-Major General
F. y. Maurice, chief director of mill
tary operations at the British War
Office, to-day in talk with The Asso-
ciated Press, in outlining the campaign
that resulted in the fall of Jerusalem
TO General Allenby's forces, said:
an the campaign as a whole the
great accomplishment has been not the
defeat OF the Turks, but the conquest
of the Sinai Desert. The troops who
fought at GAIA drank water from
Egypt pumped through an American
pipe line and were supplied over broad
gauge railroad laid clear across the
$50 miles of the Sinai Desert. which
has defeated almost everybody that
tried to conquer Egypt for centuries
Every ounce Of material for the pipe
line. the railroad and the other works
came either from Great Britain or the
United States.
"All the time this conquest OF the
desert has been going on the Official
communications have been able 10 say
only Nothing to report and the public
thought we were idle. The fall Of
Jerusalem was made possible by indus
Try. organization and help of material
from the United States"
