FOCH is SUPREME AS
TO ALLIES STRATEGY
Disclosure Made by Lloyd George,
Who Describes the Great Ger
man Offensive.

London, April 1S.-The most i'm
portant statement in Premier Lloyd
Georges speech, apart from his dis
cussion of Ireland, was that General
Foch had been appointed supreme
director of the strategy of the allied
armies on the western front, which
is taken to mean that he has super
seded the Versailles war council.
Speaking of the conditions at the
beginning Of the recent German Of
fensive and of its different phases
and results, the premier said:
"Up to the end of 1917-up to,
say about October or November
the German combatant strength in
France was two to the allies three.
Then came the military collapse Of
Russia, and the Germans hurried up
their released divisions to the west.
owing to the growth of the
strength Of our armies in 1917, when
the battle began the combatant
strength of the whole of the Ger
man army on the western front was
only approximately equal to the to-
tai combatant strength Of the allies
infantry. They were slightly infe-
rior in artillery. They were infe-
rior in cavalry and, what is very i'm
portant, they were undoubtedly in
ferior in aircraft.
German Divisions
"The Germans, therefore, organ
iZed their troops so as to produce a
larger number of divisions out OF a
slightly smaller number of infantry
and slightly smaller number of
guns.
According to all the facts which
have come to hand as to the losses
or the battle, that roughly represents
the relative strength of the combat
ants on both sides at this moment.
The Germans had, however, one or
two important advantages. The
first, the initial advantage, which is
always commanded by the offensive.
is that they know where they mean
to attack. They choose the ground:
they know the time of the attack.
The defense has a general ad-
vantage. Owing to air observation
concealment is difficult. In spite of
all that, owing to the power of NOV
ing troops at night, which the Ger,
mans exercised to very large ex-
tent, there is large margin for sur
prise and Of this the enemy took
full advantage.
should like to say one word
here as to the difficulty which the
allied generals were confronted with
in this respect. Before the battle the
greatest German concentration was
in front of our troops. There was a
very large concentration opposite the
French lines. There was a very con-
siderable concentration on the north
ern part of our line.
Offensive Generals in Dark.
After the battle began the Ger.
mans by night brought their diyis.
ions from the northern part to the
front where the attack took place.
They also took several divisions
from opposite the French in the
same way and brought them to our
front. But it would have been
equally easy for them, while concen-
trating troops opposite our front. to
maneuver them in the same way op-
posite the French. / am only refer
ring to that in order to show how
exceedingly difficult it is for generals

will take sometime to ascertain
he whole facts. At one time it was
Undoubtedly very critical. The enc
my broke through between our third
md fifth armies, and there was a Sc
rious gap, and the situation was re-
trieved owing to the magnificent
conduct of our troops. They retir-
ed in perfectly good order, re-estab-
fishing the junction between the
two armies and frustrating the enc
my's purpose.
"The house can hardly realize, and
certainly cannot sufficiently thank
our troops for their superb valor and
the grim tenacity. They retired, but
were never routed, and once more
the cool pluck of the British soldier,
that refuses to- acknowledge defeat
saved Europe.
"I am referring to the whole
army. generals. officers and soldiers
l mean the whole army and 1 draw
no distinction. Their conduct has
been one of incredible courage and
great GOODNESS.
And 1 specially refer to what one
brigadier general did. Some refer
ence has been made in the press al
ready to it. where at one point there
was a serious gap, which might have

zone section missing.)
Until the whole circumstances
which led to the retirement of the
fifth army and it's failure to hold the
line Of the Somme. at least till the
Germans brought out their guns. and
perhaps the failure adequately to
destroy the bridges-until all these
are explained-it would be unfair to
censure the general in command of
the army, General Cough. But un-
til those circumstances are cleared
up, it would be equally unfair to the
British army to retain his services
in the field. 1t is necessary to recall
him.
Position Stabilized.
After the retirement of the fifth
army, the French reserves came up
with remarkable rapidity, what be-
tween the efforts of our soldiers and
the loyal assistance given by the
French army, the position is for the
moment stabilized. But it is clear
that the Germans are preparing an
other, and perhaps an even greater
attack on the allied armies.
up to the present the enemy has
undoubtedly obtained great initial
success. There is no good in not ac-
cepting the facts. But he has failed
so far in mis- main objects. He fail
ed to capture Amiens. He failed to
separate the French and British ar
mics. But we should be guilty Of
great, it might be fatal, error if we
were to underestimate the gravity
of the prospect.
THE enemy has captured valua-
BILE ground, which is too near
Amiens for comfort or security, and
in crippling one OF our great ar
mics.
Il will now tell the house some
thing of the measure adopted by the
cabinet to meet the emergency. The
cabinet took every step to hurry up
reinforcements in order to fill up the
gap in our armies. No such large
numbers of men ever passed across
the channel in so short a time.
There was understanding that
boys under 10 would be only used
in case of emergency. We felt that
the emergency had arisen and in so
far as those who were over IS were
concerned, those who had already
received six months training. we felt
it necessary that they should be sent
to France"
