London Press Ranks Haig
Among Greatest Generals
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, March 15.-In discussing
the retirement of Field Marshal Haig
from the Rhine command to take
charge of the home forces. the Times
remarks in an editorial that in the
last few months of the fighting he
was "as infallible as Wellington him
self"
when all deductions have been
made" it continues, enough will re-
main to put Field Marshal Haig
among the first half dozen generals
the country has produced. The mis-
takes he may have made at Passchen-
daele must always be accounted one
of the most tragic passages in our his
tory. We doubt too If he understood
as early as some others, how vital
was the principal Of unity of command
and perhaps he carried distate of the
amateur in military affairs to un-
wholesome lengths.
"He was always the typical soldier
of the regular army, but when every
thing is said he showed himself a
great leader of men,"

British to Extend
Bridgehead on Rhine
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, March 15-"Acute un-
rest prevails in the whole Westphal-
ian industrial region and it probably
will be necessary to enlarge the Brit
iSh bridgehead in that direction" says
a dispatch to the Mail from its CORE
spondent with the British army.
The German province of Westphalia
Is one of the most important indus
trial districts in Europe. 1t has one
of the richest coal fields in the world
and the iron industry there has been
developed on a vast scale. The Brit
ish bridgehead east Of the Rhine is
semi-circular in shape, centering about
Cologne, the radius of the circle being
approximately IS miles. 1t does not
reach the line between the Rhine
province and Westphalia at present.

FAVOR
NATURALIZATION
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, March 15-Unofficial dis
cussion of the possible naturalization
Of Austria is continuing here. The
plan has apparently strong support
among the Austrian conservative
forces. especially the Turks and the
Christian socialists.
The movement for the neutraliza-
ton Of the Austrian tyrol is a more
definite one than that for the remain
der of Austria, because Of the protec-
ton such naturalization would afford
Italy
1t is also suggested that the Aus
trian canton of Voralberg be annexed
to Switzerland. The Swiss are un-
easy over the possibility of a union
between Germany and German Austria
and officially have addressed the
peace delegates of the Swiss view tha
the virtual development of SwitZer-
land by the Germans under such a
plan would threaten Switzerland s
future.

British Contemplate
Early Peach Action
tBy Associated Press,

PARIS, March 15.-The British pro-
gram at the peace conference is under
stood to contemplate the signing of
seperate preliminary treaties with the
central powers as soon as possible af-
ter Germany is disposed Of. Next
would come the consideration Of any
amendments to the present constitu-
ton to the league of nations, and
then the league would be whipped
into permanent shape. The final
peact treaty would follow and include
the league of nations plan.
The leading thought among the
British at the present moment seems
to be to strip the preliminary peace
terms of all incumbrance and secure
the signature of that document 80
that the world can begin to settle back
to normal.

by all the consequences of its action
We cannot jump in when it suits our
fancy and form alliances and incur
hatreds, and then expect to retire to
an exclusive life, leaving to others the
task of working out the problems
which we have helped to create. 1t
is being urged that we withdraw from
European affairs and develop purely
American policy of our own. Do SEN
ators mean to imply that the United
States made mistake when it depart
ed from this policy? 1t is too late to
make such protest. We cannot play
fast and loose with our neighbors
