NEW YORK, April 11.-Under the
signature OF Lieutenant Colonel Rep

a copyrighted article from London
giving the famous military critics
opinion of the retreat OF the British
when the German drive was launched.
The dispatch follows. in part.
notice that the Downing street
press is doing its best, in preparation
for today's battle, to unload the re-
sponsibilities OF its masters upon our
soldiers, and, especially, to blame our
command In France and our fifth
army for the success OF the German
attack on March 2l and subsequent
days.
The war office permits these in
situations and innuendoes to be pub
lished broadcast without reply, and.
therefore, I am entitled to defend my
old campaigning comrades and to re-
establish the facts. Why was our line
extended south OF the Disc river? II
was extended at the urgent solicita-
ton of the French and contrary to the
seasoned views and reiterated repre-
sentations of our command in France.
The opinion was, when last visited

CONSCR|PT|ON BILL
SEESSy CHRONICLE

LONDON, April IA complicated
political situation, full of possibili-
ties, is threatened as a result of the
Man Power bill (providing conscrip-
ton for Ireland). according to the
Chronicle today.
That the governments position is
strong was shown by two develop
ments:
1. The quick passage of the bill on
second reading.
2. The Invitation OF Chancellor Law
20 the House of Commons "to change
the government il the House did not
like the bill"
The governments majority in the
vote on second reading was 223 votes.
The bill will go into committee stage
and must be called up for final pas
sage before 1t is enacted into law.
Some of the provisions in the bill
were sharply criticised during debate
last night" said the Chronicle, mo
tably by Sir Donald Mclean, who
spoke with all the authority that be-
longs to him by virtue of his position
as chairman of the most important
draft appeal tribunal in the country.
John Dillon sounded a warning and
former Premier Asquith counseled
against the extension of the military
service act to Ireland"
