PRINCIPLES LAID DOWN

''The principles laid down by General Robertson and accepted by the war cab inet were:
 T. They accepted in principle that there must be an extension of the British line,
 "2. That the time and extent must be left to the two commanders -in-chief to settle together.
 "3. That no extension was possible un- til the offensive was over
 A. That the line to be taken over must depend upon the military policy for 1918 and upon the role assigned those armies
 Every one, said the premier. would ad- init that those were sound principles The cabinet accepted them without de- mur There was meeting at Boulougne between Premier Lloyd George, General Robertson, M. Poincare and General Foch, which had been summoned to dis cuss an important question concerning the foreign office. M. Poincare raised the question of the front. MT Lloyd Geurge was not in the least interested in that and he told General Robertson it was a matter that he must deal with. and she whole matter was dealt with by General Robertson. In consequence of this subject having been discussed at this conference, Field Marshal Haig got the impression that some decision had been arrived at by the cabinet without his consent Consequently, General Rob- ertson drew up the following memoran-

 Reading from a document, which he said came from General Matrices de- partment nine days after the pre- mier's speech. the sentence, From the statement included it will be seen that the combatants trend of the Brit ish army was greater on the first of January. 1913, than on the first of January, 191T." the premier continued:
 The premier continued:
 T have been charged with mislead- ing the public and leaving the public to believe that at the time of the att tack the allied position on the western front was that we had a slight su- periority in infantry, a superiority in cava ry and a superiority in artillery. Tho Whole of these figures were based on statements made by General Mau- rice"
 With reference to the extension of the British front, after declaring that General Maurice, although at Vcr- sailles. was not in the council cham Der, the premier said:
 WHY LINE WAS EXTENDED
 There was not single yard taken over as the result of the Versailles council. Although General Maurice did not say so, the real point was this: It was asked in a question by Lam bert whether this portion of the line had not been taken over by the war cabinet against the objection of Field Marshal Haig and General Robertson. There was not a word of truth in it. Of course. Field Marshal Haig was not anxious to extend his line, nor was the war cabinet. The pressure from the French government and the French army was enormous. What was done q YaAf 111 from the war cabinet.

ment in France last year on the sub ject of the length of the line held by the French army. The French losses had been enormous and they had sus- tained the great strain of the fight ing for three years.
 There was larger proportion of French manhood put into the line than of any other belligerent country. They held a front of s2s mile: we held 125 miles. But the Germans were massed much more densely against our line, and our lines were much more vul- nerable.
 ''The French were pressing us to ex- tend our line in order that they might withdraw men from the army for purposes of agriculture. Their, agri- cultural output had fallen enormously y and they found it essential that they should withdraw part of their men for the purpose of cultivating their soil

RoBERTsoN's MEMORANDUM

At the recent Boulogne conference be- tween the prime minister, M. Painleave, General Foch and myself the question of extending our front was raised by the French representative.
 "The reply given was that. while in principle we, of course. were ready to do whatever could be done, the matter was one that could not be discussed in the absence of Field Marshal Haig, or during the continuance of the present operation. and that due regard must also be had to the plan of operations for next year.
 Ut was suggested as best for the field marshal to come to arrangements with General Petain when this could be done. I am aware that no further formal dis eussion has taken place, and the matter, therefore. cannot be regarded as de- cided. Further, l feel sure that the war cabinet would not think of deciding such an important question without obtain ing Field Marshal Haig's view. and I am replying to him in the above sense"
 That was on the 18th of October"
