British Work Reviewed.

LONDON. January ! British Wire
less Servicey.--A historic document
written by Field Marshal Sir Douglas
Haig. commanader-in chief of the
British armies ca the western front.
is to be published tomorrow. Ii deals
with the operat lions OF the British
armies from the end of April, 1918,
when the ,situa ton was most critical.
up to the conclusion of the arnliStlce.
Regarding the preparations for the
attack at Amiens the field marshal
says:
instructions of a. detailed charac-
ter were issued TO the formations
concerned calculated TO make l. APP
pear that British attack in Elan
ders was imminent. Canadian bat
talioHs were put into line on the
KENNEL front. where they were iden-
titled by the enemy. Corps head
quarters was prepared and casualty
clearing stations were erected in con-
spicuous positions in this area Great
activity also was maintained by our
wireless stations on the first army
front and arrangements were made
10 give the impression that great
concentration of tanks was taking
place in the ST. Pol area. Training
operations in which infantry anG
tanks co-operated. were carried out
in this neighborhood on day on
which the enemy's long distance re-
connoissance and Photographic ma
chimes were likely to be at work be-
hind our lines.
''Rumor that the British were about
to undertake large and important
operation on the northern front
quickly spread. In the course of our
subsequent advances convincing evil
denee was obtained that these differ
emit measures had had the desired eff
feet and that the enemy was momen-
tarily expecting to be attacked in
strength in Flanders

Washington's Early Banks.

Ii was mainly through the patriot
ism of the banks of the District of
Columbia that Washington city re-
n>ained the capital of the United
British in August. 1914. That point
is brought out in Clarence f. Nor
ment's little book. "A Few Facts and
C,limpses of the Part and Present of
the Oldest Bank in the National Capt.
tal--the National Bank of Washing
ton" which was written in 1909 in
commemoration of the one hundredth
Bank of Washington.
MI Norment wrote:
That this National Capital remains
the seat of government of these
United States after the acts of van
dalism OF the British by burning the
Capitol, White House and the eXecu-
live departmental buildings on Aug
ust %, 1914, is due to the patriotism
Of the citizens of the District of Co
lumbia, backed by the money of its
Young banks. Congress assembled
less than Il month subsequent. James
Madison being President. A mass
meeting of those citizens formulated
a resolution pledging financial assist
ance to the general government to aid
il to rebuild the public buildings.
Its Treasury was almost empty, de-
pleted by the expenses, mountainous
to the young republic, of the war of
1872.
District Offers Aid.
"The only banks then existing in this
Union offering such aid were those
of this District. Their directorate
formally offered to advance on loan
the sum of $780, 900 to be applied ex-
clusively to that purpose. The dis
cnssion in Congress upon resolution
to accept, and upon the bill introduced
to carry it into effect, showed that a
party of capital remoyers existed.
But those favoring the motto Este
Perpetual led by Representative
Joseph Lewis, jr., prevailed. The bill
was passed authorizing a loan of half
a million dollars, and it became a law
by President Madison's signature in

Germans Completely Fooled.

The Germans were completely
fooled. Field Marshal Haig says. and
in the early morning mist of August
British troops caught the surprised
Germans and captured 1900 prison
ers, nearly 400 guns and vast guam
titles of ammunition and stores OF
all kinds.
At the close of operations the re-
port declares:
Elm the decisive contests in the
period covered by the report the
strongest and most vital parts of the
enemy's front were attacked, his
lateral communications were cut and
his best divisions were fought to a
standstill. On the different battle
fronts the British took $4,000 pris
oners and 1850 guns. bringing the
total number of prisoners captured
during the year TO over pol. 900. These
results we're achieved by fifty-nine
fighting British divisions. which. in
the course of three months battle
engaged and defeated ninety-nine
separate German divisions. When the
armistice was signed by the enemy
his defensive powers had already
heen definitely destroyed. Continu
ance of hostilities would have meant
only disaster to the German armies
and an armed invasion of GerInany."

Work On the Square.

Work on the Square continues
apace. The concrete work, enclos-
ing the park was almost completed
Monday. Curbing and other concrete
work will be begun this week.
There is no lack of expert advice
from the coterie Of quasi "bosses"
that sits in the shade Of the trees in
the park; critically marking every
move and telling how this and that
could be done to better advantage.
It was feared that there would be
a serious congestion of traffic at the
upper end Of the Square Saturday,
but the situation was handled with
the ease and skill of an cid traffic cop
by Chief Johnson.
The roping off of streets entering
the Square has caused some incon-
venience to merchants and customers,
but this of course, cannot he helped.
