soma he had remained silent for two
years, but he would now reply to the
questions, Was there political interview
ton to stop the offensive, and what were
exactly the French 7ossee7'
The former Premier said the offensive
collapsed before the German machine
guns, Of which the enemy had an i'm.
mense number. The German command
knew the French plan of campaign as
early Ms April Z, having found Il on n
French officer taken prisoner. The
French Army headquarters was aware
that the plan of the offensive was known
to the Germans. but the French Gov
eminent was ignorant OF the fact. The
advance was about 500 yards in two
days instead OF seven miles In eight
hours. The offensive failed OF itself, he
said, without any political or other In
tervention. -
Losses Not Esasscrated. e'
His Government. continued the Pre-
mier, had been accused OF knowingly
exsgserating the losses to impress tho
Allies. Unhappily $4,000 were killed in
the first ten days and not 5000 as
stated. The origin of the story of the
exaggeration of the casualties was TO
be found in an official. document signed
by Gen. Nivelle.
NJ. Painleve then gave details OF the
recall of Gen. Nivelle after his offensive.
1t was then, he said, that the whole
question of the command of the Allied
Armies was brought UP. He gave credit
to NJ. BRAND and the British Premier
for their efforts In instituting the unity
Of command
Ex-Premer BRAND here arose and
said: "All the operations OF the spring
OF 1917 were decided by general head
quarters under direction OF Gen. Nivelle.
IN pursuance OF the policy OF n united
front all the headquarters STATS were
represented. Thanks to this cooperation
the Allies took the offensive at the end
of 1915 and obtained success every
where. In the spring of 1917 the often
slve was to be general. 1t was decided
that on the French front there should
be unity of command for the duration
Of the operations and on the authority
of the two govtsnments Gen. Nivelle
took command Of the French and British
armies
''In January. 1917. decided at Rome

Salonica."
NJ Brands intervention produced n

NJ. Painleve said that when he went to

LoNpoN, Oct 13.-The Times this

says editorially:

ure Of seif-government for Ireland have
before them a task which will make the
utmost demand upon their ability The
situation which they face has been COM
plieated by previous failures and mis-

bones of political regulations.
"There are inconvenient party and
personal commitments at every turn. III
the requirements of the Government are
to be met, the committee must work
against time and consequently they VIII
be liable to the temptation OF permit

Difficult though the task Is, 1t Is re-

very practical advantage. First, the
committee represent a coalition ana De-
cause OF this and of the fact that all
parties in Great Britain desire solu-
of parliamentary opposition to any rea-
sonable proposals than other would be
reformers of the Irish Government have
encountered In the past. Secondly, they
are presumably free from the necessity
of supporting their recommendations by
evidence of Irish agreement to them.
Thirdly, they have the advantage OF the
recent experience and labors Of the irish
convention.
"The misconception that England, and
especially the present Government, 10

the root of the anti. British feeling in
that country. It is the enormous respon-
sibility of the Cabinet committee to
prove the contrary. 1t may be impossi-

PARIS, Oct 12.--Revelations OF the
friction which existed s between the
French and British high commands and
the respective Governments we're made
to-day. Documents OF the highest his

from forthcoming book by a well

Calais conference of February, 1917. at
which the first attempt at unifcation OF
the allied command was made and the
subsequent failure OF the two allied Of
fensives. the British at Arras and the
French in Champagne, which ended with
allied military prestige at low ebb.
At the Calais conference a convention
was signed by Premier Lloyd George
recognising that the general direction OF
the allied armies should belong to the
French commander In chief. The Brit
