Colonel Repington, who severed his
connection with the Northclffe press
some weeks back, after acting for many
years as military correspondent of
The Times" is a strong supporter Of
Sir William Robertson, head Of the
War Office. Colonel Remington believes
there is a scheme on foot by the poll
tlcians either to force Robertson's res

is practically nil.

Split in Press Seen
Against this situation Colonel Rep

(because it hates Lloyd George) will
support the Repington campaign, while
on the other side will be the North

Prominent Poles

LONDON, Feb. 9.-Thc Bolshevik
authorities have arrested a number of
prominent Poles at Petrograd, as a
reprsal for. the Imprisonment of En-

OF the Russian army, who was seized

STOCKHOLM, Feb. 9.-Kemi, the last

larly around Viborg and Helsingfors.

be dismissed.
Robertson's position. as understand
it, Is that either he must accept the
Versailles decision or resign. "The
Evening Standard" puts it this way:
"At Versailles the ablcst men Of each
nation engaged in the war, with, the
assistance of the military chiefs: have
sat to consider the situation in it's
broadcast aspects. They have arrived
at certain decisions that represent the
views of the majority, and it Is the
duty of every one~to abide by those
decisions, whatever personal conse-
quences they may involve.
"Only two courses are honorably
open to those who disagree with the
decisions. They may cooperate. to make
the new plans successful, or they may
resign"
"They can meacn only Robertson and
Earl Derby. civil head of the War
Office. Earl Derby's resignation has
already been forecast.

is far from satisfied with some of the
interpretations put upon the Versailles
statement. The conference handled
technical questions, and the statement
was never intended to give the i'm
preston that the diplomatic policy had

changed the views he expressed in his
last speech. The poorly worded ex-

was united system of direction.
when British, French and Italian
troops have come together in battle, as,
for instance, when our artillery went
to the help Of the Italians on the Carso
joined hands with Sir Douglas Haig in
Flanders, there has never been any diff
ficulty about tactical direction. The
British artillery commander on the
Carso naturally took his orders from
the commander of the Sd Italian Army,
with which he was fighting, and Cen
eral Antoine conformed without hesita-
ton to the British commanders plan

mer and Fayolle would be Of no use to
General Diaz if they did not carry on
operations in accordance with his plans
The writer is able to say that on no
single occasion during the whole course
of the war has there been any difficulty
about unity OF command when interna-
tional troops have been brought to-
gether for tactical purposes.
The case is on a different footing
where high strategy is concerned.

Alert as Supreme Test

Haig Must Bear
Brunt, Is Belief
Experts Declare linden
burg Likely to Open
First in Flanders
By Arthur S. Draper

LONDON, Feb. 9.-Since the middle OF
January the weather has been cXcep-
tionally mild and. unless there is a
sudden change. conditions for launch
ing an early attack in the West will
be far superior to those of the last
two years.
February is normally the worst
month OF the year in Flanders. but so
far it has proved exceptionally fine.
The last week in 1916 saw the opening
of the German campaign at Verdun,
but it was not until March,. 1917, that
Hindenburg began to withdraw from
the Somme, and it was April before
Nivelle launched his attack.
There are two excellent reasons why
an early offensive may be expected:
First, Germany now has the initiative
and the quickest way the enemy can
nope to improve the morale behind his
mes Is to gain military success
1 hat morale needs STRENGTHENING. all
the reports OF German confidence to
the contrary Notwithstanding. Second,
TINS winter has been remarkably favor
able Tor the movement and training of
troops.
1t is reasonable to expect heavy
1gntlng within the next four weeks,
and the first blows may be struck any
moment. Instead of one or two
thrusts, military students consider
tour or even observation-disclosures attacks

because Paris offers a tempting bait
and Hlndenburg declared he would he

french front represents two-thirds Of
the whole Western line and cannot nos
slbly be held so strongly as the Brit
ish
But another school locks for major
blow against the British on the assump-
ton this is the decisive year of the war
and unless the enemy can break his
strongest foe he will be no better oft
than he is to-day
They admit this is a reversal Of Ger

rancis Heard From:
Still in Petrograd
Indications of Better Relations
Between Embassy and
Bolsheviki

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Fear that
Ambassador Francis might have been
expelled from Petrograd by the Boil
sheviki was dispelled to-day by the
receipt of a cable message from the
ambassador, dated February 5. The
rumor that he and other diplomats
were being sent out of the country
began to circulate prior to that date. In
his message the ambassador made no
reference to any conflict with the
PetrograG authorities.
Some indications of slightly i'm
proved relations between the Leninc-
Trotzky government and the embassy
exist. Red Cross supplies recently
landed in Russia have arrived in
Petrograd without delay and without
charge having been made for their
transportation.
Until recently even the movement of
Red Cross aid into Russia was looked
on with suspicion by the Bolsheviki.
