has been relieved pending a military
inquiry into the circumstances of his
failure to hold his positions.
1t as impossible to say how far the
error of this commander contributed to
the enemy's success. A gap was Great
ed between the Fifth and Third Brit
ish armies, but the enemy did not sue
coed in turning either flank. and a
juncture was effected during the re-
treat The line was intact when the
armies took up their new position.
This is all the prime minister could
say to the House of Commons about
this detail of the retreat, and obvious.
.ly nobody else can say more until all
the facts are known.
But the candid avowal of the prime
minister serves to forecast that the
history of this war probably will show
that mistakes of commanders will be
apart of the record. There have been
changes in command before in all
armies, and each will be shown in
time to have its story. General Won
KluCk was retired after the Marine.
The great name of Won Moltke did not
survive the opening campaign. Won
Falkenhayn gave way to Hindenburg.
The British replaced General French
and French commanders have been
changed almost as often as French
premiers.
Military crisis cannot be temporized
with. A nation can get along somehow
with defective civil leadership, but in
war II must find man or perish.

S. E. Ratliff, internal revenue col
lector for the income tax department,
for the state of Washington, is in
Moscow today Mr. Ratliff is calling
upon Moscow citizens who have prop
erty in Whitman county, Washington

understood that many income tax
evaders have been found in checking
over reports made in the past and
some criminal prosecutions are threat
ened by the government, which has
special agents checking over grain
warehouse receipts, shipments of
stock, ETC., to ascertain if all of the
incomes have been turned in. 1t is
