SIX English To

ON WESTLINE
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 war office. N
his weekly talk 70 the Associated
Press today, said:
In the last month | have received
a remarkable number .! 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 few sta
tistics to show how far this is I'M
true.
At the present moment the British
troops in France are six TO one az
compared with all overseas troops, and
the total casualties in France through
out the war have been in the proper
ton of 6.5 British to / overseas. In
the Ypres-Lens fighting since July 81,
the casualties have heca Gino British
to one colonial.
The last week has been marked by
a pause on all thu western front-a
pause which was inevitable after the
great successes Of the previous week,
a 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 Euv comes
a pause pending the reaSustmeIt 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 tle opera
lions before the Austrian get up ade.
uuate reserves, some of which are be-
ing brought from TIE 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 boR.
bardment, continuous air fighting and
continuous infantry raids, is being
kept up and is having a 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 exhausting
with good success the German re.
serves, and later will come the sec.
ond phase to which we are all looking
forward confidently
