PAUSE IS UNAVOIDABLE.
Gen. Maurice Talks Of West Front
and Other Theatres.

LONDON, Aug, 30.-"The last week
has been marked by pause on all the
western fronts-a pause which was in
evitable after the great successes Of the
previous week. a pause accentuated by
the bad weather which affected the
operations all the way from the North
Sea to the Italian sea coast said
Ma1or-Gen. F. b. Maurice. Chief Di-
rector Of Military Operations at the
War ONCE, in his weekly talk to the
Associated Press to-day.
AT the moment IL is the Italian front
where the situation Is the most interest
ing. Here also. after a really fmpor-
tant advance. there now comes a pause
pending the readjustment Of the artil-
lery positions There is much work to
be done during these pauses. The
problem Is whether Gen. Cadorna will
be able to get his guns posted for the
renewal Of the operations before the
Aus,rians get up adequate reserves. some
Of which are being brought from tho
Russo Rumanian front. That is the
problem In the pauses in all these bat
ties. the race between the preparations
OF offence and defence.
''In the past month have received
a remarkable number Of letters from
the United States showing how 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. I have prepa red for YOU
a few statistics to show how far this
is untrue.
AT the present moment the British
troops In France are six to one as
compared with all overseas troops.
and the total casualties in France
throughout the war have been In the
proportion Of s.5 British to ! overseas,
In the Ypres-Lens fighting since July
81 the casualties have been British
to Colonial"

public has not been told. Major.Gen.
Maurice. director Of British military
operations. frankly limited to-day that
a great battle was imminent. He de-
clared that the evening OF tho battle"
was coming. and then explained how in
former times q battle usually occupied
one day, the early part Of which was
devoted to exhausting the enemy's re-
serves and preparing for the decisive
attack. which came In the evening Of
battle.
The weeks beginning July 81, he said,
were tho early part OF the day." and
the process Of exhaustin3 the enemy's
reserves. he pointed out. has been more
effective than the British and American n
public realize. He continued:
Since the battle OF Ypres. July 81,
the Germans have used nearly twice the
number Of divisions that we have used
and have withdrawn more than twice
as many as We have. That 10 a perfect
barometer which shows how the battle
Is going. The desperate plight of Ger
many Is evidenced also by the little
that she has been able TO accomplish
on the Russian front. despite the Rus
sian disorganization. and by the fact
that Mackensen's attack was completely
foiled by the Rumanians. although the
enforced withdrawal OF Austrian forces
to the italian front contributed perhaps
to that failure"
Other shrewd observers here declare
that the German weakness has been re-
vealed IN the most vital spot-man

experts are right in the accepted belief
that the backbone OF an army Is its
infantry. then the crumbling Of Cor

Is well grounded.
