SIR DOUGLAS HA|G
DISCUSSES WAR.
Stubborn Fighting of Two
Years Made 1918 Vic
tories Possible
RUSSIA'S FAILURE
COST YEARS FIGHTING
Necessity of Sending Aid to Italy Also
Delayed Decision on the Western
Front-Creation of New British
Armies Noteworthy.

LONDON, April 12.-Field. Marshal
Sir Douglas Haig, in a commentary OH
the war which has now been published,
presents an important review OF its
main features. He treats the opera
tions on the western front as single
continuous campaign. He shows that
there was preliminary stage when the.
forces sought to maneuver for posi-
|, ton and to gain an early advantage.
This ended with creation of the trench
lines from the Swiss frontier to the sea.
Then followed period of struggle in
close costly combat, each side seeking to
wear down his opponent and pin him to
certain position, while accumula ting
powerful reserve to maneuver for a de-
cisive attack.
In the opinion of the British field mar
shall, if the whole operations of the
present war are regarded in their cor
rect perspective, the victories of the
summer and autumn 1918 will be seen
Ito be directly dependent upon the two
| years of stubborn fighting that preceded
| them.
Sir Douglas says il was not until
1918 that the British artillery opera
| lions could be conducted without amy
] limiting consideration beyond that of
| transport. He believed the breakdown
of Russia in 1917 probably prolonged
the war by year and points out that
the military situation in Italy in the
autumn of 1917 necessitated the trans,
fer of five divisions to Italy at time
when their presence in France might
have had more decisive results.
i The British commander says that the
rapid collapse of Germany's military
powers in the latter half of 1918 was the
logical outcome of the fighting of tho
lprevious two years and believes that il
! would not have taken place, but for that
7 period of ceascless attrition of the pre-
, vious two years which used up the Ger
man reserves.
Sir Douglass says a feature of Tho
war, which, to the historian, may wei
appear most noteworthy, is the crea
/ tion of the new British armies. HI

Facts and Fancies About the Folks
Who Make the Films

Life IS joys lie largely in comparisons
and contrast; we live only in the bal
ancing of values, the weighing OF, the
darks and lights; we appreciate our own
lots better when we see the dramas
of our neighbors; we aim to improve
our lots when we see how much higher
is the stratum of our neighbors.
Shakespeare has said: 1--WE are such
stuff as dreams are made of; and our
little life is rounded with a sleep.
If that is so, how ideal it is to be
able to sit and watch the enacting of
others stories. such stuff as dreams
are made of. such fates as we our
selves would wish or would not have.
What lifting out of one IS self up and
above the stuff of earth, into the realm
Of imagery and dreams,
Fiction is not lies It is but the
dreams. the stuff of which we are made.
The fiction chosen for the screen to-
day is truly the best that fertile. sensi-
tive minds could conceive Yet, though
we know the dreams that we see to be
fiction, we cannot refrain from comfar-
ing the loves and daughters, the sobs
and sordidness of others lives with ours
-or from contrasting them.
And so, the pictures make us glad
we are what we are, or determine US to
improve what we would have otherwise

CHAMBERLAIN WAS RELUCTANT 10
 SUBMIT DATA
Made Many Changes And Referred To Reports AS
 Unofficial"

Paris, April 14--(By The AssOcia4- ed Prcss) The seventeenth day of the trial by court martial of Captain E. G. Chamberlain, of San Antonio, Texas, who is charged with having made false reports of aerial exploits on the British front last summer, was taken up entirely by the testimony of Commander Emmet R. Pollick, u. S. N., retired, who was a member of , the staff of the naval aviation head quarters in Paris. Commander Pol lock, swore that no question was raised concerning the authenticity of the documents or the accuracy of the reports of the flight before the docu- ments received from Captain D. c. Hanrahan, U. s. A, Chamberlain's commanding officer, were transmit ted to the chief of the American aero l nautio service.
 The witness added that Chamber 1 lain exhibited nervousness and mild reluctance at having the documents referred to the authorities and at his suggestion, various changes and ad- ditions were made, Chamberlain be- ing especially concerned that the unofficial character of the flight" be mentioned. Questions concerning the authenticity of the documents l was raised only after their trans mission to headquarters, Commander Pollack said.
 The witness was permitted to say, despite the objections of Chamber lain and his attorney, Donald Harper, that the impression of the witness was that Chamberlain's manner and conversation amounted to corrobora- tion in the affirmative that the facts as related ill the various affidavits | were correct.

largest and most modern mills of the state.
Have Modern Plant.

When interviewed by the Graphic last night in regard to contract with the Dixie mill. Mir. Couch said: "It is true that such contract has been made, and the power will be general cd largely in Pine Bluff where we are making additions that will give us the. most modern plant in the state, enabling us to be in a position to furnish power for anything from a sewing machine to the largest oil mill.
 "We have always been strong believer in the future of Arkansas, and have believed in it so strongly that we have been able to convince others who have never had an oppor- tunlty to study our conditions, so that they buy our securities in large quantities, making it possible to build transmission lines which provides service to the small towns and rural communities. All of this improves the local factory and we can probably overcome the increase in the cost of fuel
 .'I want also to state that the broadminded and helpful attitude of the city council here last summer when they granted us slight in- increase in rates has made all of these Improvements possible for our bond buyers took Pine Bluff bonds when other cities went begging because their bony buyers felt their money was going where it would get fair treatment. certainly appreciate what eX-mayor Bloom and the city council did for us."

CORNS, 1T APPEARS, MAY BE
GROWN In STRANGE PLACES

Down in Tonopah recently, so the
story goes, a fellow collected the
sweetest jag imaginable from a bottle
OF F~reezone, which is generally con-
s;dered an efficient corr remover. The
method selected by this devotee of the
kick consisted in ordering a lemon
ace. Upon securing the drink he
complained of an ailment which re-
CURED him to dilute the lemonade
with medicine. The medicine was
FIeezone. According to all accounts
when inoculated sufficiently with
Freezone the fellow was as drunk as
a boot owl and gave off an odor that
kept civilized persons a respectable
distance away from him. We presume
that if he were arrested he might
defend himself upon the theory that
he had corns in his stomach.-IElkc
