felt that the emergency had arisen
and IN so far as those who were over
eighteen were concerned, those who

Long Series
OF Attacks

Sir William Robertson's resignation
raised huge storm about the govern
ment. 1t was pointed to as the climax
of campaign which began with the
Jellicoe affair. This was a press cam.
paign against men in high office, run
by the Northcliffe papers.
AS matter of fact, Jellicoe was not
the first to suffer. The first one was
Kitchener, who had been numerically
attacked by the Northeliffe press. But
he was dead and all the sins and short
comings of which he might have been
guilty were forgotten or forgiven.
Asquith was the next. But he had
been driven out of Office and everybody
was glad Of it. So to the public North

World Astounded at

The establishment that man in ths
position of General Maurice could
commit such an indiscretion as to ssk
his question, what has become Of

was accepted as an implication that
General Foch had failed in his duty
to the British, and the thing was nsds
worse by the announcement the same
day in the official British communsqps
that French regiments were fighting
by the side of the British in the norm
ern part Of the battlefield.

Robertson Opposed
Foreign Generalissimo

Sir William Robertson, chief of the
Imperial General Staff, was unalter
ably opposed to a unified command.
He was opposed also to the Eastern"
policy, and he and Lloyd George were
IN direct conflict on both these points.
Robertson, moreover, represented both
the heads and the rank and file Of the
army. They lived and breathed in
army traditions and insisted that the
British army should never 20 under
foreign commander They recog-
nized what fine and patriotic thing it
was for President Wilson to let Amer
icans troops be brgaded with the
French and English under French and
English generals, and commended him
highly for it; but as soon as the sug
gestion was made that foreign gen.
eral should command British troops
they broke into violent execration.
In its final stages the controversy
between the Fasteners" and "West-
erners" was lost sight of to large
extent in the furious quarrel over the
united command. Lloyd George finally
won the long battle when the direc-
ton of Allied strategy was placed in
the hands Of the Versailles Council
1t only remained then for the final
steps to be taken for the appointment
OF generalissimo. It was a matter Of
tactics. The principle Of a single di.
rection had hean concadad
Sir William Robertson resigned az
chief of the general staff and Colonel
Repington broke out with an article
in 1.-THE Morning Post" that caused
both him and the editor of "The Post"
to be fined s1o0 in Bow Street police
court for publishing the article after
it had been forbidden by tho censor.
But the country as whole saw the
crisis coming on the battleAelds Of
France and apparently accepted the
decision. though grudgingly.

ible magnifcence of energy. The paci-
fists were baying him, while the war
dogs parked at his heels. He seemed
in open alliance with Northcliffe. One
sought in vain for his friends. Yet he
remained perched on his eminence be-
cause there was no one to take his
place. There seemed but two alterna-
tives-Lloyd George and war to victory
muddled through somehow, or Asquith.
1t was the Germans who came to
Lloyd Georges aid. They started their
great offensive, and for the second
time Britain had to forget politics for
national defence. Once before during
the great retreat from Mons to the
Marine politics had been cast aside,
With one accord the British Empire
now watched in breathless silence
while the British army fell back from
the Hindenburg line to the fringe of
Amiens.

Disaster Blamed on
Versailles Council

But once new toehold was estab-
lished there was demand for explana-
lions that would not be denied. For
four months Germany had advertised
her offensive, and for weeks the Eng
lish papers had been filled with stories
that the only fear of the army was
that the German threat would not be
made good Yet the British army had
not only suffered a great defeat, but
had barely escaped irreparable disaster.
Why was it? Who was to blame?
Plainly, the line had been too lightly
held. Why? The army said the fault
lay with the Versailles Council, which
had decided on the extension of the
British line and ordered the move
ments of the troops. The evidence
available is that at the time the British
line was extended south of St. Quentin
the Versailles Council could have de-
cided at the most that the move was
desirable. 1t would have to be car
ried out by Sir Douglas Haig in his
discretion, and the strength with which
the line was held would be controlled
entirely by Sir Douglas Haig and the
British General Staff. This seems to
have been the limit of the powers of
the Versailles Council at that time.
The official explanation was given by
Lloyd George in the House of Com
! mons on April 9. He said:
What was the position at the be-
ginning of the battle? Notwithstand-
ing the heavy casualties in 1917, the
army in France was considerably
stronger on January 1, 1918, than on
January l, 1917.
Owing to the growth of the
strength of our armies in 1917 when
this battle began the combatant
strength of the whole Of the Ger
man army on the western front was
quite equal to, the total COMPLAINT
strength Of the Allies in infantry.
They were slightly inferior in ar
tillery.
They were inferior in cavalry,
they were considerably inferior, and
what is very important they were
undoubtedly inferior in aircraft.
According to all the facts which
have come to hand as to the losses
OF the battle, That roughly represents
the relative strength of the combat
ants OH both sides at this moment.
/ will now tell the House some
thing of the measures adopted to
meet the emergency. l have already
explained what was done about the
French reserves. The Cabinet took
every step to hurry up reinforce
ments, in order to fill up the gap in
our armies. No such large numbers
OF men ever passed across the Chan
mel in so short time AS the emer-
gency was great, it was impossible to
allow those who were summoned to
France the usual leave to visit their
relatives. 1t was with the greatest
regret that We found it necessary
to cancel this permission, and moth
ing but the gravity of the position
would have justified SO harsh a pro-
ceeding. But the troops accepted the
position in a manner which is worthy
Of the fortitude, courage and patriot
ism they have shown throughout.

Colonel Repington
Led Attack

The war party attack on the Premier
was led in the press by Colonel Rep
ington, the military critic of "The
Times" who never allowed the contro-
versy to lapse for moment, but re-
turned again and again to the most Bit
ter attacks. Repington not only wrote
constantly about the man power prob
lem, which was generally recognized
as being of pressing Importance, but he
never allowed TO die the contest be-
tween the Fasteners" and western
ers"-those who believed in continuing
the war in the East and those who held
that the conflict should be confined to
the Western front--and he was the
mouthpiece for the army's opposition
to unified command ON the Western
front.
Lloyd George had inherited the
Eastern" policy from the Asquith gov
eminent, but it was an inheritance
that he could not escape. The policy
was inaugurated by Winston Churchill
when he sent the Naval Reserve to
Antwerp on an expeditions conducted
under his own auspices and indepen.

dent of the army chiefs. Having scored
one achievement for the civilian state
gists, hs led the. movement for the
Gallipoli campaign and, with the as
sistance of Lloyd George, succeeded in
having it undertaken.
Neither one has ever been forgiven
for that, but Churchill was the one
who had taken the chief responsibility
Lloyd Georges part was less conspicu-
Gus, and fast following events would
have let it be forgotten had he not
adhered to the general Eastern" pol
icy, once inaugurated.
On the other hand, Lloyd George has
been from the beginning the leader in
England of the demand for a unified
command. He has stood for it and
fought for it when he has had to stand
alone against the united opposition Of
army chiefs, politicians and people.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-05-12


among the radicals, Socialists and
and laborites led by Arthur Hender-
son. They wanted a peace by con-
Citation and arrangement.
Insisted on
Settling Matters
Lloyd George insisted on fighting it
out, and there were long controversies
over the British labor leaders meeting
German Socialists at various Stockholm
conferences, and the Lloyd George gov
eminent became involved in a maze of
minor discussion and political contro-
versy.
So far it was question of attacks
and obstructionist tactics by the peace
party, but to this was added the dissat-
isfaction of the "bitter-enders," as
they were called, who were continually
after Lloyd George in the name of the
army. They demanded men, men, men
and more men. Man power was their
slogan, and they demanded increasingly
that Lloyd George should get after the
"slackers," comb out the factories and
workshops and get on with the war.
These were Conservatives.
Thus was created the strange situa-
ton of Lloyd Georges old friends, the
radicals, combining with his and their
ancient enemies, the hide bound Tories,
to cause his downfall. Stranger yet,
the one party attacked him in the name
of peace, while their partners in the
business attacked in the name of war.
They hated each other intensely, but
they both hated Lord George more.
The Premier recognized the need for
more men for the army and preached
that need continually, but labor OBJ
jected to all schemes for "combing out"
and obstructed the government in near
ly all it's moves. The government did
succeed in keeping up the supply Of
guns and munitions, and not only keep
ing up the supply but greatly increas-
ing it, SO that huge reserve was Gre
ated. At that point, however. labor

In his article Colonel Repington

SAID:
The reports to which l allude may
be true or false. If false they can be
denied. They allege that Mr.. Lloyd
George. attempted to stampede the
Council of War into approval of an
ether side show and that he conspicu-
ously failed. Secondly, that when the
numbers of our armies and the cry
ing need for men were stated author
ltatlvely to the council, he left our
Allies without hope that they would
be met and burked full discussion.
Thirdly, that he has practically elm
mated the General Staff in London

and has deprived the field marshal

most indispensable means of action.
can see no good reason for inter-
fering with existing arrangements
under which Field Marshal Sir Doug
las Haig and General Petain each
commands his own troops, and all his
own troops, but, of course, if the
French government wish to create
French army of reserve and place it
under a separate commander this is
wholly their own affair.

how silly, but must say that / feel
the deepest pity for the general who
descends upon General Petain with
any new tricks.
The Army Council will, l hope,
make firm and united stand in the
interest of the army, and will make
the position perfectly clear. Every
body has to go over the top sooner
or later in this war, and it may be
now the Army Councils turn.
This article was fair statement of
the position Of Lloyd Georges warlike
antagonists, put in its bitterest terms
1t contained all the counts of the in
dictment against him-man power, East
and West, unified command and civilian
strategy.
