some time to ascertain what actually
happened
Three Outstanding Facts
"However, there are two or three
facts which stand oAt, and. in stating
them, should like to call attention
to two things which think above all
must be avoided. This is nothing
should be given encouragement to
the enemy and nothing should be said
which would give Encouragement to
our own troops, who are fighting sc
galantly at this very hour.
And the second question is that
all recrimination at this hour must
be shut out.
What was the position at the begin
ming Of the battle? notwithstanding
the heavy casualties in 1917, the army
in France was considerably stronger
on the first OF aJnuary, 1918, than on
the first of January, 1877. Up to the
end OF l917--up to, say, about October
or November-the German cOmbatant
strength In France was as two to the
allies three. Then came the military
collapse of Russia, and the Germans
hurried up their released divisions
from the eastern front and brought
them to the west. They had certain
measure Of Austrian support, which
had been accorded to them.
Germans Not Strongest Now.
lowing to the growth of the
strength Of our armies in 1917, when
this battle began the compliant
strength of the whole of the German
army on the western front was only
approximately, though not quite equal
to. the total combatant strength OF
the allies in infantry. They were
slightly inferior in artillery. They
were considerably inferior in cavalry.
and what is very important, they were
undoubtedly inferior in aircraft.
1.-The Germans therefore, organized
their troops so as to produce a larger
number of divisions out Of the slightly
smaller number OF infantry and slight
ly smalled number of guns. They had
! fewer battalOns in division and few
err men in a battalion. That is entire
ly a question of organization and 1t
yet remains to be seen that their or
! ganizatiOn is better than ours. 1t is
necessary to explain that, in order
| that the house should realize why.
| with approximately the same number
! Of men the Germans have larger
! number of divisions on that front.
How Huns Get Advantage.
| according to all facts which have
. come to hand as to the losses OF the
! battle. that roughly represents the
/ relative strength of the comhatants
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 knew where they mean to attack.
They choose the ground; they choose
the location; they know the width OF
the attack; they know the dimensions
of the attack; they know the time of
the attack; they know the method
of the attack. All that invariably
gives the initial advantage to the Of
fensive.
The defense has a general advan

tage. Owing to air observation boart
! concealment is difficult. At the SAM
time, in spite of all that, owing to tn
power of moving troops at night
which the Germans exercised to avery
large extent, there is margin, FOL
surprise. even in spite OF air Observa
tion and Of this the enemy took full
advantage. =
II 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 great
est German concentration was in the
front of our trops. That was no proof
that the full weight of the attack
would fall on us. There was very
considerable concentration. am
referring now TO the German reserves
on the northern part OF Oul
lines.
After the battle began or imme'
.diately before the battle, the Germans
by night brought their divisions from
the northern part to point where
the attack took place. o.. i.
Points Out Need Of Foresight.
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 as
easy for them, while concentrating
troops opposite our front. to manue-
yer them in the same way opposite
the French am only referring to
that in order TO show how exceedingly
difficult it is for generals on the de-
fensive TO decide where they ought
to concentrate their reserves.
Il may Just say one word here. This
problem was considered very closely
by the military staff at Versailles and
think it right. in Justice to them.
to point that after very close study
OF the German position and OF the
rroba bilities of the case. they came
to the conclusion. and they stated
their conclusion to the military rep
resentatives and TO he ministers in
the month of January. or the beginn-
ing of February, that the attack would
come south of Arras: that 1t you'd
be an attack on very wide front
that it would be an attack on the wild
est front ever yet assailed: that the
Germans WOulu az uiAuiotS 90 Wv
isions for the purpose OF making that
that they would throw the
whole of their resources and their
strength into breaking the British
line at that point and that their OBJ. |
jective would be the capture OF Am
lens and the severance of the Brit
ish and French forces. /
Remarkable Prediction.
THAT was the conclusion Sir Henry
Wilson (chef of the imperial staff |
came to, and which was submitted at
that time, two or three months ago /
and think that it was one OF the
most remarkable forecasts OF enemy !
that was ever made.
LAS a matter Of fact, the attack
was made up, think, by about 81 |
divisions. 1t was an attack on the
widest front that had ever been en-
gagged. Its object undoubtedly was
the cpture of Amiens and the seI
erance of the British and French for
ces, so that, almost in every detail,
that very remarkable forecast has
been verified in the event. .,..
Another remarkable prediction was

failed to CAPTURE Amiens. They fail
ed to separate the French and Brit
ish armies. But we should be guilty
of great, it might be fatal, error il
we were to underestimate the gray
ity of the situation. ...... +
Enemy Too Near Amiens. /.
1.-THE enemy has captured valuable
ground. which is too near Amiens FOR
comfort or security. and he has sue
ceeded for the time being in Gripping
one of our great armies.
"As to the guns, machine guns and
prisoners which were lost, the num-
tbers are grossly exaggerated by Jne
enemy The ministry OF munitions
were able not merely to replace these
guns and machine guns, but that they
still have got a very substantial re-
serve. The same thing applies to
ammunition.
Our aircraft strength is greater
now than before the battle. and we
all know what brilliant service our
airmen rendered in this battle,
Wilson Helped.
THE next step to which | should
like to call attention of the house is
the material and drastic assistance
