Record Furnishes Proof of the Over- whelmingly Decisive Part Played by British In Hun Defeat. The story of the smashing blows which led to the final collapse of the German armies is graphically told in the latest despatch from Sir Douglas Haig. In the course of that epic bat- tle the Commander in Chief points out 59 fighting British divisions en- gaged and defeated 99 separate Ger- man divisions â€" a record which, says Sir Douglas Haig, furnishes proof of the overwhelmingly decisive part played by the British armies on the Western front in bringing the enemy to his final defeat. The fruits of that great victory are set forth in a strili- ing manner in the following table: â€" Prisoners captured in 1918... 201,000 Machine guns taken 29,000 Trench mortars taken 3,000 Tons bombs dropped between January and November . . . 5,500 Foe aeroplanes destroyed . . . 2,953 Driven down out of control. . . 1,178 Cte^rvation balloons shot down irTliaBies . ^ 241 Area of square miles pnoto- graphed '4,000 Mileage of roads repaired by Engineers 3,500 Road bridges, exclusive of pontoons, made during ad- vance 700 German mines and traps dis- covered 14,000 Total of these explosives (tons) 540 Tons of gas discharged during March-November 2,250 Separate gas "operations" be- tween Mch. 11 and Oct. 7.. 301 Story of the Victory. The despatch is in two parts, the first dealing with the critical days in April, following the enemy's March offensive, when eight British divisions were so far reduced that they were temporarily written off as fighting units, and five divisions were sent to what was expected to be a quiet sec- tor of the French front; and the second part from the British offensive In July until the days of the armis- tice. The second period arrived when the Bwelling list of German casualties and the steady influx of American and Al- lied reinforcements had produced an Tea • . and Coffee Hurt tfenvj People Theuinaijbehurt inguou.

The complete success of the Allied counterattack on the 18th July near Soissous marked the turning point in | the year's campaign, and commenced the second phase of the Allied opera- tions. Thereafter the initiative lay with the Allies, and the growing su- periority of their forces enabled them to roll back the tide of invasion with ever-increasing swiftness. At this point and in this connection I should like to pay my personal tribute to the foresight and determination of the French Marshal, in whose hands the co-ordination of tlie action of the Al- lied Armies was placed. The following are the great series of Briti.sh victories described in the despatch: â€" Amiens (Augiist 8-12). The Scarpe (Aug. 26 Sept. 3). Canibrai and the Hindenburg Line (Sept. 27 Oct. 5). Le Cateau (Oct. ii-12). Bapaume (Aug. 21~Sept. 1). Havrincourt and Epehy (Sept. 12-18) Flamlers (Sept. 28). Seile River (Oct. 17-25). Sambre (Nov. 1-11). The return to Mons (Nov. 11). Three months of Epic Fighting, In three months of epic fighting the British Armies in France have brought to a sudden and dramatic end the great wearing out battle of the past four years. In our admiration for this outstand- ing achievement the long years of patient and heroic struggle by which the strength and spirit of the enemy were gradually broken down cannot be forgotten. The strain of those years was never- ceasing: the demands they made up- on the best of the Empire's manhood are now known. Yet throughout all those years, and amid the hopes and disappointments they brought with them, the confi- dence of our troops in final victory never wavered. The work begun and persevered in so steadfastly by those brave men has been complete* during the present year with a thoroughness to which the event bears witness, and with a gal- lantry which will live for all time in the history of our country. The annals of war hold record of no more wonderful recovery than that which, three months after the tre- mendous blows showered upon them on the Somme and on the Lys, saw the undefeated British Armies ad- vancing from victory to victory, driv- ing their erstwhile triumphant enemy back to and far beyond the line from which he started, and finally forcing him to acknowledge unconditional de- feat. Sir Douglas Haig concludes his des- patch, which is dated December 21st, with the following tribute to the ac- cord of the Allies;â€" At the mioment when the Hnal triumph of the Allied cause is assured, we and all others of the Allied and Associated Armies, can look back on the years that have gone with a satis- faction undlmmed by any hint of dis- cord or conflict of interests and ideals. Few alliances of the past can boast such a record. ' Few can show a purpose more ten- aciously and faithfully pursued, or so fully and gloriously realized. If the complete unity and harmony of our action is to be ascribed in part to the Justice of our cause, it Is due also to the absolute loyalty with which that cause has been pursued by all those entrusted with the control of the dif- ferent Allied armies that have fought side by side with ours.

Although often referred to as a sad- dler and tanner, Herr Ebert, Ger- many's dictator, is really a Journalist. In Ifis early days he was apprenticed to a harness-maker, but at the age of twenty-one he became the editor of a Socialist newspaper, his articles in which attracted much attention. A keen debater and clever politi- cian, he has great influence among the organized workers of the Father- land. He now says that no true Qerman would have treated the unfortunate Belgians as they have done. But it won't be forgotten that when Beth- mann-Hollweg proclaimed that "ne- cessity knows no law," and that Ger- many was "hacking her way through Belgium," he was on« of the Socialist majority which chser«d itself hoarve.

Linens are not cheap now, but they may be. still dearer, as the material will be very scarce for the next two years. One reason is that before tlie war ninety per cent, of the flax used In Irish linens was grown outside of Ireland, principally in Russia and Bel- glum. While Ireland Is now increas- ing the amount of home-grown flax, this takes time, and in the meantime linens will consequently be scarce, and therefore expensive. At the end of two years it is likely that prices will gradually commence to go down again, as production of flax is increased; but it takes two years to complete the process of linen manufacture from the growing of the flax to the final process that converts the raw material into the finished pro- duct.

May Not Get Enough Food In Time to Prevent a Catastrophe. George H. Roberts, the British Food Minister, speaking at Newcastle the other day, said that he eould state on absolutely unimpeachable authority that the situation with regard to food conditions in great areas of Europe was ncthing less than tragic. I "It is not too much to say that Rou- mania is starving, that Serbia is starv- ng, that Austria is starving and that Germany Is starving," he declared. "Ever since the armistice was signed the allies have been doing what they could to relieve the situation and food should be. or is being, sent to all the countries 1 have named. But it is not enough, and the question now arises wbethor we shall be able to get suf- ficient food to those countries in time to prevent a catastrophe. "The Supreme Council hi Paris Is straining every nerve to meet the situation. I am going over to Paris on Monday to attend the meeting of the Council, and pray it may be pos- sible for us to take such emergency measures as may stave off the threat- ened disaster. "Clearly we cannot complacently watch Europe starving and feed our- selves to the full. That is not the spirit of this nation, which, through its unselfishness, won the war. We are going to help, and if helping means that the situation here does not im- prove as rapidly as it otherwise would, this country, I am sure, will not grumble. As soon as the people real- ize the appalling seriousness of the situation which Is developing in Eu- rope, they will bo the first to call up- on the Government to Intervene," from the Civil War, when army wit was aroused by the largo, globular brass buttons on Infantry uniforms. Some oneâ€" bo must have l)oen a sailor â€"dubbed the buttons "doughboys" be- cause they reminded him of the boiled dumplings of raised dough tha't are so frequently served in ships' messes and are known to all sailors as "dough- boys." Originally, the name referred only to infantrymen, but the American Ex- peditiouary Force applies It to all branches and all grades of the ser- vice. Ulnard'B Unlsient CnreB Bnrna.
