MAURICE IS LUCKY.

On the whole Gen. Maurice is lucky to get out of his trouble with the British Government with nothing than retirement He violated his duty soldier for purposes that unms- takably political, well military.
 In the course of his campaign against the Min isry he attacked it indirectly by yelled attack upon the Commander in Chief, who happens to be a Frenchman and occupies his place largely through the efforts of Lloyd George to bring about unity of command If Gen. Foch could be discredited Lloyd George would suffer, and to this indirect attack he added a direct attack upon the veracity of the Premier
 International friction of dangerous kind and military demoralization results be expected from his line of conduct. The fact that his assault upon Lloyd George and Bonar Law proved to be boomerang does not alter the situation in which he involved himself
 The penalty is nothing worse than a reduction in pay and easy retirement. What would he have suffered if the Kaiser had been his superior of hcer?

NO HONEST OFFER.

 He says that Great Britain is ready at any tmo to listen to any representative of any country who wishes to make serious peace proposals and that is true at least ought to be true, of any pation on either side He did not say that Great Britain would undertake peace negotiations upon any sort of suggestion from Germany Austria and made it clear that such negotiation had been under taken, because honest offer had come from either of those nations.
 American statesmen have to the same con clusion.

Roosevets attitude toward the present administration has been much like that of Mcclellan toward the Lincoln admins traton. Mcclellan thought he had not got a square deal and Roosevelt thinks he should be in command in France, and therefore, has been fairly treated.

Nothing better illustrates the accomplishment of unified command and purpose among the Allies than arrival in France of 250000 Italian troops, subject to the orders of Gen. Foch.
