How British Efficiency is
Increasing.

That British efficiency in the
present war is increasing is
shown in the following excerpt
from the London Spectator:
Before June, 1915, we had lost
eighty four guns and many pris-
oners and had captured no guns.
Since then we have not lost a
single gun, but have captured
four hundred guns and have ia
ken ten times as many prisoners
as we have lost. Another index
of the growing superiority of our
munitions is the casualty lists.
The Vimy Ridge cost the French
enormous losses. and in spite of
all their gallantry and skill they
occupied only a part of it, which
they were unable to retain. But
the other day we took the whole
Ridge and two hundred guns
with something like one-ffth of
the loss suffered by the French.
Another contrast was provided
by the first eighteen days of the
battle of the Somme and the
first eigteen days of the apresent
battle. In the first eighteen
days of the battle of the Somme
we captured eleven thousand
prisoners and fifty-four guns. In
the first eighteen days of the bat
tie of Arras we captured eigh-
teen thousand prisoners and two
hundred and thirty guns. We
have gained four times as much
ground and our losses exactly
one-half.
