We SHALL NOT SLEEP

"ln Flanders fields
the peoples blow
Between the Crosses,
row on row,
That mark our place;
and In the sky
The iarks still braveIy
singing fly,
Scarce heard amidst
the guns below
We are the dead,
Short days ago we lived,
felt dawn,
saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved.
and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel
with the foe,
To you from falling hands
we throw the Torch
be yours to hold 1t high;
If ye break faith
with US who die,
We shall not sleep,
though peoples grow
In Flanders fields"

HAIC HAS LOST
ABOUT 500 Guns,
MAURICE SAYS
German Eyaggeration Must Be
Taken Into Consideration,
100 TANKS FALL TO FOE
War Office Chief Declares
News Is Given Quickly

LONDON, Wednesday March n
England, IN considering her losses In
the fighting in France. must take into
consideration the usual German eSag
geration," Mai. Gen Frederick r.
Maurice chief director OF military
operations said today.
"ln the past" he declared the Ger
mans have usually given the captures
OF prisoners and guns in round numbers.
not as actually counted but as antici.
pA,ed from the general situation II Is
reasonable to assume that the same
thing is being done now
Gun Loss About 900.
"Our total loss OF guns. either from
falling into the hands Of the enemy OF
by being Knocked out. is about 6OO. ac-
cording TO our hest information. This
compares with the German claim OF
$50
Probably the same ratio holds good
regarding German CLAIMS OF prisoners,
and It must he remembered that the
Germans count OF prisoners includes
many OF Our wounded whom we were
unable to take with us
I'VE have probably lost About
100 tanks, which we used extensively
In the eounter-Attaeks"
General Maurice said that the war
office was giving out the news a.
quickly and as fully as il was received
and he urged the public to be patient
All News IL Given.
"In these critical times he said, IL
want to emphasize that it Is everyone's
duty 20 avoid making them more
critical and to avoid being mourniul
During the last few days some news
papers have raised the old cry that we
are concealing part OF the news be-
cause II is too serious for it to be made
public.
This charge not only is untrue but
has had a bad effect because it has
tended to create panic II has tended
to make the people believe that things
were worse than they really were,
Whole Truth Told.
I'm our communications and state
ments to the public we arc telling the
whole truth as we know it, As | have
told you on previous occasions when
we are fighting great battle on
the defensive, we cannot get iniorma
ton or sense the exact situation as
quickly as the enemy. Last year in our
offensive operations we saw the same
principle working In fact the British
communications were earlier and nearer
complete than those of the Germans.
On defensive battles divisional and
corps headquarters are shifted wires
are down and the men on the scene are
more occupied with building up new
lines than with sending news as to the
exact situation TO the war office
I'VE at the war office are just as
impatient as you are for the news and
as soon as the situation steadies we
will again be receiving the hourly de-
velopments and promptly Meanwhile
let us be patient"

Foes Gains Little
In Past Day

LONDON, March 28-In the last
twenty-iour hours the Germans have
made but one comparatively trdiling
gain as the result of numerous massed
attacks along, the whole front, says Reu-
ter's correspondent at British headquar-
ters. For the British there may he
claimed several distinct local successes
either in completely repelling enemy
blows or in Wrestling back ground won
by counter attacks.
Although the Germans continue TO use
their infantry with ruthle" prodigality,
the general pressure along the front Is
for the moment less determined. This
may be attributed in part to the enemy
waiting to bring up heavy artillery pre-
paratory to another great effort, and in
part to exhaustion.
