Haig Says British
Lost Heaviest i'm
Defensive Battle
Over Half Casualties in 1913
We're From March to July;
Lacking in Big Guns Till
Near Close of Conflict

LONDON, April 1o.-Ficld Marshal
Sir Douglas HaG, in his final dispatch, i,
now made public, presents an impor-
tant review Of the war, and describes
in detail the expansion and achieve
ments Of the British army. With many
remarkable facts and figures he treats
the operations on the Western front as
4 single continuous campaign, in which
can be recognized the same general
features and necessary stages that, be-
tween forces Of approximately equal
strength have marked all the conclu-
sive battles of history
"1he highwater mark Of our hghtng
strength in infantry" says the British
commander, was only reached after
two and half years Of conflict, by
which time the heavy casualties al
ready had been incurred 1t was not
until midsummer, 1916. that the artil-
lery situation became even approx
matcly adequate to the conduct Of
major operations.
British Lacked Ammunition
During the Somme battle artillery
ammunition had to be watched with the
tion was plentiful, but the gun stua-
tion caused anxiety. 1t WAS only in
1918 that artillery operations could be
conducted without any limiting con-
Il
"'The margin with which the German
onrush of 1914 was stemmed was so
narrow and tho subsequent struggle
was so severe that the word miracu-
lous' is not too strong term to de-
scribe the recovery and ultimate VIC
tory of the Allies"
Sir Douglas records the interesting
fact that more than half the British
casualties in the fighting of 1918 oc-
Cured during the five months from
March to July, when the Allies were on
the defensive.
"Thc rapid collapse of Germany's
military powers in the latter half Of
1918,' he says, was the logical out
come of the fighting of the previous
two years. 1t would not have taken
place but for that period Of ceaseless
attriton which used up the German
reserves. 1t is in the great battles Of
1916 and 1917 that all have to seek for
the secret of our vitcory in 1913.
$4,000 Tons Fired in Day
On the first day Of the Somme battle
in 1916 nearly 1900 tons of artillery
ammunition were fired by the British
on the Western front. On two days,
September 20 and 21. 1917, 1000 tons
we're expended. and in the three days
of the crucial battle on September 27,
% and 90. 1913, nearly $4,000 tons
were fired by the British artillery
Sir Douglas says that the feature
Of the war, which to the historian may
well appear most noteworthy. is the
creation Of tho new British army,
which was uccessfully built up in the
very midst Of the war.
"Thc total of more than 1900
German prisoners captured by us on
the Western 'FRONT.' says Sir Douglas,
"is in striking contrast to the force
Of six divisions, comprising some 80,
600 fighting men, with which we en-
tered the war

Italian ''Red" Strike
Not a Full Success
Demonstration on I.enine's
Birthday Goes OFF Without
ANY Disorder

ROME, April 10.-The general strike
Of twenty-four hours called by the So
calsts for to-day in memory Of the
victims Of "Rcd Week in Berlin, and
also in honor of the birthday of Lenne
the Russian Bolshevik Premier. was not
a complete success. Several stores re
fused to close their doors and the rail
roads worked normally. The strcetcars
omnibuses and cabs, and all means Of
urban transportation suspended opera
tions.
The garrison war reinforced by
troops from the provinces. Detach-
mcnts guarded the Royal Palace, the
Vatican, the ministries, banks and pub
lie Offices. Armed pickcts patroled the
town, but up to the present there have
been no disorders. The undisturbed
condition Of the city. perhaps, was
due somewhat to heavy rain.

If such action were not taken foreign

Owners of property who are OPP
posed to Alvarado are reduced to

ton Of same thru taxation
The government seizes all crops
and markets them for the planters,
making returns less cost of the
"Reguladaras,' or public marketing.
Like the railroads under govern
ment operation, the planters must
sell off live stock to make up defi-
cits for high wages and cost Of
operation.
In 1918 at the dictation of the
shophands railroad tariffs were
doubled to provide extra wages, and
to get cars shippers must bribe the
train crews.
Crops for export like hemp and
sisal are held to be public property
and planters must run their farms
under direction Of workmen's soviet
rule.
There is complete and arbitrary
government for particular class and
naturalization of railroads, wire
communication, shipping and bank
ing.
The uneducated natives are taught
to look upon every employer and the
wage-payer of any class as their
natural enemies and robbers Of la
Dor.
The lists OF crimes, assassinations
and arson are as wide as the state

can get away are leaving Yucatan.
The I. w. W. revolution in Yuca-

IF YOUR RENT HOUSE is n
EMPTY IT'S YOUR FAULT

There is strong demand for fur
nished houses in Ashland this sum-
mer. II you have one not furnished
ii will pay you to furnish it. It will
bring double the rent furnished.
Some folks have furnished houses
10 rent, but they do not let people
know 1t is for rent. Therefore It
stands vacant for some time and they
Jose a lot OF rent.
II We had a furnished house to
rent We would arvertise II in the
"For Rent" column OF the Tidings
as soon as we found the present ten
ant was going to move out That
way we would have a fresh tenant
TO 60 in the day the old one went
out. II don't pay to leave the house
vacant for week or two when there
are people to take It IL they knew 1t
was available
In advertising your house every
body in town will know II is for rent
and the first stranger that asks them
will be told of your house. You
should always sign your name as
well as telephone number so as many
will know you are in the market as
possible. ,i
These are just a few hints to fur
nished house owners. The little for
rent ad costs but trifle and will
save its cost many times in keeping
your house earning rent instead OF
standing vacant.
