Jan The situation on the western front is critical in the opinion of Col A Repington one of the foremost English military critics who recently resigned from the Times and became military correspondent of the Morning Post In the first contribution to the Post in issue he criticizes Premier Lloyd George and the war cabinet severely because he asserts they have failed to maintain the strength of the British armies in the west thereby creating the present conditions Col Repington begins his article by saying that he intends not to mince matters The Germans he savs now have 165 divisions on the western front or more than all the allies combined excluding the Italian theater The number of German troops is being increased he adds at the rate of seven to fifteen divisions monthly and may be expected tolg reach more than 21 X) divisions as soon -as it is possible to concentrate them The arrival of som Austrian forces also is to be expected and news al- if ready has come of the appearance of Austrian troops in Belgium marking that the accumulation this immense force may be either to support negotiations or for a grand attack the writer says all the evidence points to the impending delivery of a series of great attacks Reviewing the strength of Great Britain's allies Col Repington writes: "The American troops are not coming in as fast as some sanguine estimates foretold but I feel sure that Gen Bridges who accompanied Mr Balfour to the United States must have given the war cabinet a pretty accurate forecast "The American army can be only a contingent during the next few months This is all the more reason why we this year should place every available man in the field want to tell the people of England particularly those ministerial poltroons who bleat about our losses that our total casualties in killed wounded and missing since the war began are but a little higher than the number of French dead The only suitable recognition we can make or French heroism is to help them now in their hour of Declaring that the British armies in France have not been maintained adequately since the death of Lord Kitchener Col Repington says that "political strategy is first among the I causes which have brought about the i present critical situation on the western He reiterates his previous criticism in to not one 1 315 Ettdid Ave Tlint to Aicahir Watches We Maiy Garden

Lillian gave one look at the closet door then whirled upon me "Did anyone get in here? What did he And out?" Her hand was upon my shoulder In a grip of which I am sure she didn't realize the sharpness But it was like a spur to my nerves I found myself able to use my voice to make her an answer "No he didn't get in" I said And then at the light of relief which leaped Into Lillian's eyes I felt myself suddenly grow weak and everything went black before my eyes When I again opened my eyes it was to look into Lillian's anxious loving face while Kathertne waa applying restoratives "She's all right now" Katherine said and then to me "Drink this Madge and lie quetly for a little until you're strong enough to tell us what happened" "I am strong enough now I said after 1 had obediently swallowed the pungent draught she put to my lips "I am ashamed indeed of fainting like this but I I have had to do such an awful thing while you wre gone that it has completely upset me" quick eyes had caught the empty carbolic acid bottLe lying where it had dropped from my hand upon the rug Some of the drops had eaten into the fabric and there were traces of the acid in the sawed opening of the door She rushed to the door examined the marks carefully and came back holding the bottle aloft "You don't need to tell me anything you blessed child!" she said here Katherine Do you see what she did!
