Hsix and the Allied Reserve

In his article in Foreign Affairs"
on "The Evolution Of the Unified
Command" Major General Tasker
II. Bliss supports Captain Peter
Wright's contention that Field Mar
shall Haig was principally response
bic for the failure Of the Allied
War Councils joint Allied reserve
scheme. This Allied reserve plan
was an alternative to unified COM
mand on the Western front. At the
Rapallo conference of November z,
1917. a Supreme War Council was
created. It consisted Of the Prime
Minister and one other Cabinet min
lister of each Of the Allied nations
whose armies were fighting on that
front. A Superior War Board was
later attached to the council. 1t con-
sisted Of the chiefs of the French
and British general STATS and Of
generals representing italy, the
United States and Belgium. This
staff was instructed TO draw up a
scheme for the constitution, main
tenance and use Of a general Allied
reserve.
But no such reserve was ever Gre
ated. When the Superior War Board
called on Field Marshal Haig to con-
tribute six or seven British divisions
to this emergency force he replied,
on March 2, 1918, that he could not
furnish them, all his divisions being
already disposed Of to meet the
threatened German offensive. He
also said that he and General Petain
had made an arrangement TO sup
port each other.
Thus the general reserve re
mained q mere paper conception
But it is not fair to put all the blame
for wrecking the scheme on Haig. In
the first place, Lloyd George, his
superior and a member Of the War
Council, TO which the War Board
was subordinate, declined TO inter-
vene. Mr.. George said himself al
the councils meeting III London on
March Ia and Is, 1918: II have
come to the conclusion, in view Of
the exceptional concentration against
us Ithe British armies in Francel,
that it would be very difficult for
Field Marshal Haig TO spare the nec-
essary reserves flor ALLEGATION TO the
general reservel."
The British War Cabinet had, IN
fact, so reduced Haig's fighting
strength that he could not man his
extended line sufficiently or provide
ADEQUATE local reserves for 1t. Lloyd
Georges pet idea for the spring Of
1918 was an offensive in Palestine.
He was so niggardly with reinforce
ments in France that Haig was
obliged to reduce the number Of bat
talions TO a division. A big British
reserve was held in England. This
was not allowed TO flow over into
France until after Ludendorf had
nearly wiped out the British Fifth

let this outstanding fact constantly be
kept In mind.
Regular employment is impossible
unless the product Of our labor Is
sold regularly. Furthermore, our ma

The Torch Of Intolerance

Tbs tragic burning Of Notre Dame
Cathedral, Of Quebec, one Of Amer
i,a's Oldest religious monuments,
,bouId give pause to all those who
ar, today tanning the fires Of re-
BgIous intolerance. 1t may never
= known with certainty whether
.bis fire was accidental or incendi-
,Yy. But the recent record Of fires
a Catholic religious institutions is
ouinOus. There can hardly be
usstiOn that a mslign hand, melted
b wild charges to an act Of fanati-
dsm. has been at work.
Let Il be conceded that there is no
evidence to connect the Ku-Klux
Kan with these outrsges. II may
veil be that the leaders Of the Klan
and the bulk Of its members are
Utterly opposed to any such acts.
The point is that once the old en-
bsrs of religious hatred are warmed
rs blaze there is set loose a prim-
tive force for destruction which, in
weak and fanatical natures, can be
neither measured nor restrained.
Ne are ell but a few generations
Gstant from utter bigotry and the
Dirt Of persecution. The witches
dSalem came close upon CromwelPs
urdals and but a century after
SAINT Bartholomew's Eve. Whether
an American Of to-day is Protestant
q Catholic, these ancient springs OF
nligious hatred that set loose the
ard of massacre and persecution
b concealed beneath restraints Of
sodern liberalism all too insecure
nd uncertain. The right TO wor'
,hip with a free conscience has beer
son for all Americans by stern ex'
,mience and a resolute regard fol
assice and fair play. 1t can be
lost, It's blessings can be swallowed
ID in a maelstrom Of bigotry, in a
few short years Of intolerance.
The Basilica Of Quebec belonged
70 an our Western world. II was a
precious memory Of the past for
Pmestsnts as for Catholics, pre-
esely as is the Concord Meeting
House or Trinity Church here in
New York. The world never needed
religion more than it needs it to-
dsg To lay waste its forces, to
'onsnt civil war among its battal-
onS, is 10 var against the character
and hope Of America. Congress
shall make no law respecting an
establishment Of religion or prohio-
ting the free exercise thereof"
80 begins the first amendment to the
Feleral Constitution which became
aw in 1871. It's spirit is assuredly
eomerstOne in that foundation Of
freedom upon which our whole gov
snment and our society are built.
10 ssssil it, for whatever motives, is
, inperil the very fabric Of our
adcn.

LEADER, SUCCUNBS
METHODIST PASTOR WHO occU-
PIED PAsToRITEs IN LA SALE
COUNTY AND NATIVE OF AM.
BOY, DIES AT MT. MORRIS, ILL.

Rev B. A. Dickens Of Mt Morris.
who for more than forty years has
been preaching in the Rock River con-
ference of the Methodist church and
is one of the best known clergymen
Of northern Illinois, passed away at
6 O'Clock last night at Lincoln hos
pital in Rochelle, after an illness ex-
tending back to early fall Since
early in November Rev Dinckens'
condition has been considered very
critical and his large number OF
friends throughout the conference
have followed his condition anxious
ly
Rev. Dickens was 65 years old at
the time of his death, and during his
long pastOrate was one of the out
standing figures of the Illinois Meth
Odist church. He was well known in
Ottawa, although he had never held
a charge here. Among the cities in
which he served as pastor of the
Methodist church were Plainfeld
Lanark Wyanet, Earlville and Mil
ledgeville, A year ago last fall he
went to Mt. Morris, where he has
since had charge of the First Meth
odist church.
Tall of stature and athletic, Rev.
Dickens was a great lover Of all
kinds of healthful sports. He was
also a lover of boys, and was always
interested in their welfare. He would
establish gymnasiums in the base
ment Of his church, and organize
boys clubs, giving them training to
induce them to become strong and
healthy men. In the death of Rev.
Dickens the boys Of the Rock River
conference have lost one Of their
best friends.
Rev. Dickens was "a native of Hi
nois, having been born and raised to
early manhood in Amboy Early in
life he decided to prepare for the
ministry. and to devote his life to
his fellow men. More than forty
years ago he was ordained and given
his first charge and since then his
life has been one long series of sacri-
fees and service for his fellow men
About the time he was ordained,
Rev. Dickens was united in mar
riage with Miss Sadie Skinner Of Lee
land. Her parents were the founders
of the little village. Mrs. Dickens,
who survives her husband. has been
one of the guiding Influences in his
life, and has aided him in every man
ner in his charitable and Christian
work
Besides his widow, Rev. Dickens
leaves surviving two sons, Wiley D.
Dickens of ottawa, formerly Of the
Free Trader-Journal, and Charles
Dickens of Chicago, and three daugh'
ters, Mrs. Albert Glasgow, and Mrs.
Ralph Nather, of Plainfeld. and Mrs.

ems, Of Chicago.
The remains were taken back to
the family home in Mt Morris from

church. The remains will then be
brought to Plainfeld, where a funer-
al service will be held Sunday Bur
