Bonar Law Announces That
All Possible Measures Were
Taken to Meet Enemy Of

UNITY OF COMMAND
SUBJECT IN COMMONS
Rumor That Sir Douglas Haig
Was Relieved Of High CON-
mahd Denied by Chancellor
Cabinet Satisfied,

London, Jan. 15.--Andrew Bonar
Law, chancellor of the exchequer, an
nounced in the house of commons to-
day that as a result of Field Marshal
/ Haig's inquiry the general staff. war
cabinet and the government consid-
cred that the British higher army
command had not been surprised by
the German attack in the Cambrai re-
gion November 80 and that all proper
and adequate dispositions had been
made to meet it.
Rcoccurrence Guarded Against
Mr.. Bonar Law said Field Marshal
Haig's inquiry was instituted before
instructions had been received by him
from the war office. His report has
been carefully examined by the gem
eral staff and the war cabinet con
to the public interest to have a pub
lie discussion on the breakdown which
undoubtedly had occurred.
The cabinet, added the chancellor,
was satisfied that proper measures
had been taken to deal with any SINH
lar situation in the future.
High Command Approved.
Answering a question by Arthur
Lynch, nationalist member from West
Claire, as to whether unity of COM
mand had been obtained on the west
ern front in the sense that a general
issimo had been appointed to direct
operations, Mr.. Bonar Law said no.
and made the same reply regarding
the Italian front
Asked by James Myles Hoggs, radi-
cal member for East Edinburgh,
whether any one had been sent home
as a result of the Cambria incident
Mr.. Bonar Law stated that the answer
he had given made it plain that the
war cabinet held the highest COM
mand blaheless. Noel Pemberton
Billing, member for East Hertford-
shire asked the chancellor if he could
dspel the rumor that Field Marshal
Haig was being relieved of his COM
mand in France. 1t was then that Mr..
Bonar Law replied that it was quite
unnecessary for him to do so.
British troops under General Sir
Julian Byng, commander of the third
army in France, by employing a large
number of tanks and without the Gus
tomary preliminary artillery prepa
rations took the Germans by surprise
in the area west of Cambrai and sue
ceeded in penetrating the Teuton lines
for distance of five miles. Thousands
of Germans were taken prisoner. Nine
days later the Germans made a de-
termined attack on the newly formed
British salient and forced back Gen
eral Byng's troops for a distance of
about two miles, recapturing Bourbon
wood and the towns of AnneuX, Mar
Going and Cantaing The Germans
also advanced through Councillor to
Gouzeacourt, but later the British
counter r-attaeked and retook Gouzeau
court and La Vacquerie.

craft defense work, so swivels were
constructed from old motor truck
springs. These improvised mounts
are said to be as good as any used.
