in the next two or three days were put
into battle by General Fayole without
regard to the integrity of units or the
order of their entry, some of them be-
ing very short of ammunition.
The British Fifth army was evidently
overwhelmed from the start, yet no
British reinforcements were sent to
Cough until the oath, and then only
one division, no others arriving during
the first week. By the fifth day the
German forces had driven a salient
into the British front SOME thirty-sev-
en- miles deep and were threatening
the important railway center of
Amiens. the capture of which would
probably have made complete breach
between the French and British
armies.
In the moment of greatest stress,
when it seemed very doubtful whether
the German advance could be stopped,
General Petain sent the following or
der to his armies:
"The enemy has hurled himself upon
us in a supreme effort.
HE wants to separate US from the
English so as to open the way to Paris.
Cost what it may, he must be stopped.
"Hold your ground! Stand firm!

Loucheur were intently studying a
map spread out on the table. The sit

that already the British had used

ready and anxious to do their part in
this crisis, that l was willing to send
him any troops we had, and asked for
suggestions as to how we might help.
He was evidently very much touched
and in his enthusiasm took me by the
arm and without hesitation rushed me
out across the lawn to where the 9TH

what l had said to him.

to put into the battle any or all of our
five divisions then in France. The
First was the only one used for the
time being, the others being placed in
quiet sectors, each to relieve two
French divisions. AS our divisions
were more than twice as large as
theirs it amounted to almost immedi-
ate reinforcement of ten divisions.

The reports from the front gave an
extremely dark picture Of disaster,
and felt we should do everything pos
sible to render assistance. 1t was TO
offer General Petain such of our troops
as could be used that l went to Com
piegne March 25.
The generals customary confident
and nonchalant attitude was entirely
gone and he wore very worried ex-
preston. / told him that for the mo-
ment l should waive the idea Of form

visions that could be of service were
at his disposal. but with the qualify
ing remark that of course we should
look forward eventually to their as
sembly under their own commander.
March "a it developed that the
French divisions had received orders
that If the enemy continued his drive
in the direction Of Amiens they were
to fall back so as to cover Paris. Mar
shal Haig. fearing that this would re-
suit in separating the two armies. at
once communicated the situation to
his government. This brought about
an important conference at Doullens
March 26 between members of the
British and French governments. IN
which it was decided that some au
thority should be designated to co-or-
dinate the action Of the two armies,
and General FOch was selected.
l was not present at the Doullens
conference, but upon learning of its
action it seemed essential that General
Foch himself should know our desire
to do what we could to strengthen the
allies. The British loss was then esti
mated at not less than 10000. ] re-

Among the French there was much
anxiety as to the safety of Paris and
there was talk of the government
having to move to Bordeaux again, as
it had done in 1914. The allied lines
had not been stabilized and although

seemed to me that it might be well to
make it emphatic that l was ready TO

Remarkable Jaw Power of East Indian Lizard

The strength Of jaw Of warmblood-
ed animals cannot compare with that
Of reptiles, an article in Pearson's
Weekly points out. The bulldog and
mastiff are famous for their strength
of grip and the hyena is said to be
able to bite through the thigh bone
of an OK to extract the marrow. but
they take back seats to the power and
tenacity of lizard in the Calcutta
reptile house.
The lizard was Of the sort known
as the "go-samp" and weighed
about 100 pounds. As it was being
drawn out of the cage which 1t
shared with the pythons. 1t seized
twelve foot snake by the neck.
Locked together, the two creatures
were drawn out Keepers made every
effort to lever the jaws of the lizard
apart. But it was useless, and the
python's neck was fiat as a pancake
when at last the lizard let go.

cular power of the turtle was given
by the late Frank Bullen. He and
his mates captured an immense turtle

Aged Letters in Door

Business letters mailed during the
Nineteenth century, some "a, Is and
67 years ago, were found In an old
fashioned double-panneled front door
when workmen removed it from offices
in Manchester, England, recently. The
missives had lodged in the space be-
tween the panels, behind which was
the letter box. They were addressed
to 81. Barbour & Company, a thread
company. which was merged with an
other firm many years ago.

The secretary got birds eye view
of the general plan which would pro-

demands of an army twice that size.

CHAPTER XXI
March 81 the great German often
sive began against the British armies
between the Oise and the Scarpe, near
the junction of the French and British
lines. on front about fifty miles In
length. extending from near La Fere
to Arras. Near the center of the at.
tack was General Coughs Fifth army,
with the Third army under General
Byng on its left.
The artillery bombardment preced
ing the infantry advance was of short
duration, but Of great Intensity. with
excessive use Of gas shells. Follow
ing heavy barrage the German in
fantry. using the same tactical meth
DDS that had been so successful at
Figa and Carporetto, delivered its
blow. The weather favored the enemy
as a heavy fog continued intermittent
ly for three days, much to the disad-
vantage of the defense. The over
whelming force Of sixty four especially
trained German divisions out of their
one hundred ninety-two then on the
western front compelled the British
lines to yield. Although at the end
of the first day the Fifth army had not
entirely given away, its losses had
reached several thousand. and there
was no question that the Germans
were making serious attempt to sep
arate the British and French armies.
British Pushed Back 81 Miles.
The last one of Coughs reserves
was put in on the second day. yet he
received no support to stop the widen.
ing gap in the British front until the
following day. when one French infan.
try division and one French dismount-
ed cavalry division arrived. On the
oath four others got into position.
These divisions and others that. came
