HAle's REVIEW or WAR.
Turning Of Defeat Into vivtory ,Liksnsd
to 4 Miracle,

London April 14.-(British wireless
service)-Field Marshal Sir Douglas
sHaig. in his final dispatch now made
public, presents an important review
of the war and describes in detail the
expansion and achievements Of the
British army with many remarkable
facts and figures. He treats the OPP
erations on the western front as a
single continuous campaign in which
can be recognized, the same general
, features and stages that. between
forces Of equal strength. have marked
all the conclusive battles Of history.
THE high water mark OF our fight
ing strength In infantry" says the
British commander, was only, reached
after two and a half years OF conflict.
by which time heavy casualties had
already been incurred. 1t was not un-
!, til midsummer, 1915, that the artillery
situation, became even approximately
adequate. to the conduct OF major OPP
erations.
During the somme battle artillery
ammunition had TO be watched with
the greatest care. During 1917 am
munition was plentiful. but the gun
situation caused anxiety. IT was only
In 1918 that artillery operations could
be conducted without limiting consid-
Grafton beyond that Of transport.
"The margin with which the German
onrush Of 1914 was stemmer was 50
narrow and the subsequent struggle
was 80 severe that the word .mirac-
ulous, IL hardly too strong term to
use
THE breakdown OF Russia In 1917
probably prolonged the war by a year
and the military situation in Italy In
the autumn Of 1917 neccssitated the
transfer OF five British divisions to
italy at a time when their presence in
France might have had far reaching
effects"

Of response: touched the veins Of his
wrist, but found there no answering
throb of life.
With the death.dealing knife still
gr;pped in my hand I raced forward
along the narrow strip Of sand, reck-
less of what might encounter. / ran
on until reached the slOop. Through
the gloom concealing the deck could
perceive only dim figures, riot Of
men, battling furiously hand to hand,

the darkness in larger outlines than

leaped at the fellow and struck with
the keen knife. missing the heart but
plunging the blade deep into the flesh

was in bears grip, the very breath
crushed out of me, yet. by some
chance. my one arm remained free,
and / drove the sharp steel into him
twice before he forced the weapon
from my fingers. l thrust an elbow
beneath the brute's chin, and thus
forced his head back until the neck
cracked.
He was too strong. too immense OF
stature. Apparently unweakened by
his wounds the giant negro, thor
oughly aroused, exerted his mighty
muscles, and, despite my utmost effort
at resistance, thrust me back against
the stern rail, where the weight Of his
body pinned me helplessly. With a
roar Of rage he drove his huge fist into
my face, but happily was too close to
give much force to the blow. My own
hands, gripping the neckband Of his
coarse shirt, twisted it tight about the
great throat until, in desperation,
painting for breath, the huge brute
actually lifted me in his arms and
hurled me backward headlong over
the rail. l struck something as I fell,
yet rebounding from this splashed into
the deep water and went down SO
nearly unconscious as to make not
even the slightest struggle. And yet |

must have struck as fell-towing by

1t is of the grand style" in size,
being l7.3X13.7 #. The richness
OF its effect steals on you as you
study its color schemes, which are
subdued without somberness, the
background being a mellow rose
pattern, bold yet subtle and fas-
clnating design consisting of the
alienation of beautiful and strik-

protusion Of smaller ones.
The lavish imagination and
wealth of detail employed upon
this princely Persian carpet are
shown in the fact that the deep
border of the rug consists of no
less than eleven stripes of varying
width, and these are embellished
with running patterns of which no
two are alike. The price of this rug
is $500.
