It fed them with\npromises of a great and decisive victory on the west with the same object\nIn view. But these promises had to\nbe implemented in order to end the\nconstantly growing volume of mur-\nmurings against the Junker government Dissatisfaction was rife in\nGermany until the situation in\" the\neast again gave the German people\nground for hoping that victory might\ncrown the schemes of their government.

A.,\nAuthor of \"Tha Making of a\nGunner,\" Etc,)\nA battery of artillery is not only responsible for the service of Its guns;\nbut also tor the maintenance bt the\ncommunications between itself and Its\nobservation posts and other outlying\nstations. This communication Is normally carried out by telephone, and it\nIs consequently necessary for the battery to carry an establishment i of\ntrained telephonists.\nLines radiate from this exchange to\ngroup or brigade headquarters, to one\nor more observation posts, to the billets,- and to the gun If, as frequently\nhappens, the fighting post Is beyond\nshouting dBtance from them. It may\noften be found convenient to run one\nor more short administrative lines In\naddition.\nTho battery Is responsible for the\nmanning of the Instruments at the ends\nof these lines, with one exception and\nfor their maintenance and. in some\ncases construction. Tho telephonists,\nbesides being efficient manipulators of\ntheir Instruments and exchanges, must\nbe capable of clear speech and must\nhave a good knowledge of sending and\nreceiving in the Morse codo, for the\nInstruments are capable of telegraphic and well as telephonic use, by\nmeans of the buzer with which they\nare fitted. They must also be able to\ncarry out simple repairs and adjustments to their apparatus, and must\nknow how to lay a lino so that it will\nnot easily be cut, and how to mend\nIt rapidly and securely under fire.\nExperienced Men.\nThe telephonists are selected from\namong, the more intelligent of tho battery when it Is first formed, or one\ndrafted \\o It from schools of instruction for recruits. It is before all\nthings necessary that these men should\nhave the gift of clear speech, and\nshould not be drawn from widely different parts of the British Isles. It\nwould be a mistake, for example to\nput a man from Glasgow at one end of\nthe line and a man from Somersetshire\nat the other. They would never get a\nmessage through quickly and correctly.\nHaving chosen men of clour speech\nthe next thing ls to persuado them not\nto use unnecessary words. Mcst people are Irresistibly inclined to waste\n.t.me saying \"Hello. Are you there?\nIs that So-and-So?\" or some such\ncatch phrase. It is quite safe to assume that if a man answers a call, he\nIs at the other end of tho wire, and\nmay be givon a message without furth'*-\ner. parley. \"\nOnce the men have been tought the\nrational use of the telephone, thoy canj\nbe Instructed In the Morse code. It Is\na comparatively simple thing to learn\nthe alphabet, or evon to send messages\nin dots and dashes ,but It needs constant practise to acquire the art of\nreading such messages rapidly and accurately. The greater part of the timo\nof the class must be spe-t In acquiring the necessary aptitude. A lino\nis laid round a field or a series of barrack rooms, with buzzers tapped ih\nhere and there, at each of which a\ncouple of men aro Installed, ono to\ntake the message and the other to\nwrite It down.\nEight Words a Minute.\nThese men change rounds periodically, while the instructor sends a\nmessage by a buzzer connected with\nthe system, and corrects each pair's\nreading of it afterwards. Tho speed\ncf sending ls gradually Increased until\nthe class can read with the necessary\nlapldlty say eight words a ml.iute.\nThe next step is to explain to them\nthe principles and construction of the\nli.stiuments that they will have to use.\nAn elementary knowledge of electricity\n.s first imparted, and then the application of It to field telephones and\ntelegraphs. The men must know how\nto render dry cells active, how to fit\nthem in their places, how to adjust\nthe buzzer, how to test for faults and\nput them right. It Is not necessary\nt.iat all the telephonists in the buttery\nshould be expel t electricians, but a\nfew of them must have a good working\nknowledge of tha subject, for defects\nof all kinds develop rapidly on service.\nFrom this they pass to line laying\nand repairing. It is easy enough to\nlay out a piece of wire between two\npoints In a field, but to connect the Instruments up to It and to establish\ngood communication between the. two\npoints. But at tho front his line is\nsubject to every sort of danger, and\nmust be laid so that it stands tho\nleast chance of being broken. Apart\nfrom the likelihood of it bong cut\nout by shell fire, thore ls every probability that a party of Infantry will\nmarch across Its route, or that a caterpillar tractor will take a short cut\nacross It\nWork on ths Field.\nOh another occasion, in the back\nareas, a poBt had been placed ln a\nfield, with three or four dozen wires\nsupported by It. The owner of the\nileld took the post down to allow the\npassage of his plough, breaking most\nof the wires in the process. Then, be-\n\u2022ng a careful mun, he put it up again\nana Joined the broken wires as seemed\nbest to him, with the result that infantry brigade headquarters were connected with an artillery O. P., company headquarters to an assistant\nprovost marshall, and the writer's battery to a remote town major, who\nprotested forcibly when asked to observe a shot. It took a considerable\ntime to disentangle matters, and It was\nthe battery linesmen who eventually\naccomplished it.\nA certain number ot telephonists\nmust also be trained as signallers. Although the telephone Is the normal\nmeans ot communlca(alon. it -nay ot*\n____________W\nor, in open warfare, to there being no\ntime to lay them, that some means ot\nvisual signalling must be employed\nInstead. With this pontingency in view,\nmen are Instructed In the use of signalling flags,, and the heliograph.\nThese two are apparatus for signalling\nVisually by means of the Morse code,\nand to use them efficiently considerable training is required. Some at\nleast of the signallers must know the\ncode by which, messages are conveyed\nto aeroplanes from the ground. .\nAlthough'\u25a0'. perhaps the telephonists\nand signallers do not require such a\ndefinitely scientific training as the observers, they are. none the less specialists among the personnel of tho battery, and It is necessary to provide an\nIntensive and efficient course of instruction for them dividing the period\nof the training of the battery, if thoy\nare to be capable by the time the latter\ntakes the field.\nWar Garden Bulletin\nPraotleal  Dally Quids for Vacant\nLot  and   Baokyard   Gardeners\nEnlisted in Greater Produo-\nductlon   Campaign.\nIssued by the Canada Food Board In\nCollaboration with experts on the\nStaff of the;Dominion Experimental Farm.\nThe Garden Trenches.\nTo sow a.row of seed quickly, evenly\nand thinly requires care and practice.\nThe beginner Is very apt to be prodigal In his use of seed and sow Indiscriminately.

It was 'announced at\nthe Office pf GoVornpr Simon Bpmb-\netger hero today. The laws of the\nstate '\"will' riot permit of the contest being hold, according to an oplnjpn of\nthe attorney.general, given at the re-:\nquest of tho governor. Ogden sportsmen have beon endeavoring to secure\nthe battle In that city.\nLLOYD GEO!I\nDEFEATS PROBE\n(Oonflnued from Page Five.)\nof 191B anil upon the role assigned to\nthose: armies. '    '\nEveryone,..sald the premier, would\nadmit that those were sound proposals. Tho cabinet accepted them without demur. They hnd never departed\nfrom those principles one iota during\nthe negotiations. There was a meeting . at 'Boulogne between Preriiler\n\"Lloyd-.George, Gen, Robertson, ' M.\nPalnleve and.. Gen. Foch, which had\nbeen summoned to discuss important\nquestions concerning the foreign office. M. Pamleve raised the question\nof an extension of the front.\nRobertson Deals.\nMr. Lloyd George was not in tho\nleast prepared for that and he told\nGen. Robertson that it was a.matter\nhe must deal with and the whole matter.was dealt with by Gen. Robertson.\nIn consequence1 of this subjeot having\nbeen raised and discussed at this conference. Field Marshal. Plalg got the\nImpression^ that, some decision had\nbeen.arrived ali by the cabinet without\nhis consent. Consequently, Gen. Rob-\nortson drew up the following, memorandum;\n\u2022<*\u00abAt\"t'-n* rirc-f|rt'Bouiogne-'.conferanep\n\u2022between the pfene minlstet\\'.M.''>Pa}ii'*\nleye, f*e*i. Foujifa'wl myself, the question of mttendijig our front was raised\n.by tho FVexjch'jreprL'St'iitatives.\"\n.'Mr. Lloyd George Interjected:\n\"Having regard to tlie assertion that\nwe pvari-uled ftiold. Marshal Haig and\nGpn. Robertson, I want the house to\nnote 'those woWfe.'' \u25a0\u2022\nThe memorandum continued:\n\"The reply given.was that,-while in\nprinciple, we, of course, were ready to\ndo whatever should be done, tbe matter was one. that could not be discussed In. the absence of Field Marshal\nHaig or during the continuance .of tho\npresent operation and that due regard\nmust also, be had to the plan of operation for next year,\n\"It was suggested as best for tlie\nfield 'marshal to come to an arrangement with Gen.' Petain when this\ncould be. done. I am aware that no\nfurther formal discussion has taken\nplace and the matter, therefore, ;0an-\nnot be regarded as decided. . Further.:\nI feel sure that tho war cabinet would\nnot think of deciding such an Important question Without obtaining Field\nMarshal Haig's view and I am replying to him in lite above sense,   ' \u25a0\"\n\"That was on Oct. 18,\" said the premier, \"and the war cabinet, fully approved of the communication! Field\nMarshal JIalg replied.at.once,that that\nthrew a new .light, on the Boulogne\ndiscussion;\"\nThe .premier, complained that, although It had been repeatedly asserted\nthat Field' Marshal Haig was not con-\nthc now light, was never mentioned. \u25a0\nDiscuss Question.\nOn Oct. 24 this question was first\nformally discussed, with the war cabinet, There was further pressure from\nthe French' government and Gen.\nRobertson gave his views concerning\nthe line the British ought to take. This\nconclusion, was rsjeorded in the minutes of the war cabinet asioljows:' .\nj \"After-bearing the chief .of staff, the\njfoltowlng decision was recorded: 'Tho\njwar cabinerTtpprpved. the; suggestion\n\u2022of'&o^lef'brstaff'thathe should reply to Field .Marshal Haig, ln the fdl-\n'lowing.sense: The war cabinet Is pf\nthe opinion that in.deciding to what\noxtent tlie British trqops can take over\nthe line from tho French, regard must\nbe had to' the.necessity for\" giving\nthem a reasonable opportunity for\nleave and training .(luring the winter\nmonths and for.the plan of operations\nfor next year, and, further, that while\nthe present offensive contlnues.lt will\nnot be possible to commence taking\nover mo.rc. The .general military policy\nfor.next year ls now under consideration and will subsequently form the\nsubject of a conference with the air\nlied governments. In these circumstances the \"yar cabinet fears.,that\nuntil this policy Is settled It will be\npremature to decido finally whether\ntho'British front can be extended by\nfour divisions or to a greater or-a\nless extent that this.'' That was communicated to Field Marshal Haig and\nnever departed from.\" .\nCambrai Incident\nThe premier continued: \u25a0\n\"Afterward came the Cambrai incident and the' Italian .disaster, which\nnecessitated our, sending troops' from\nFrance. That made it difficult fpr the\nfield marshal to carry opt the promise\nhe had made to Gen, \"Retain for a certain extension, which was not as largo\nas the one which subsequently, took\nplace. It .-was then that the presence\nof the French president camo In.and\nhe is not an easy gentleman to refuse.\n(Laughter:and cheers.)    .\n\"He was very Insistent that the\nBritish army should take the line over.\nWe stood by the position that that\nwas for decision by the: commander-\nin-chief. We never swerved from\nthat position.\n\"At last: Premier Clemenceau' suggested that the question should'be examined by the military representatives\nat Versailles, and. that tho Versailles\ncouncil', should decide, if thero- were\nany differences of opinion. The military representatives at Versailles\nexamined the question and tlie only\n.interference, if it -was., interference,\nwas that they communicated witntho\nchief\u2022 of staff,-who we thought was In\nFrance at'the time, and'Fleld Marshal\nHaig, to urge on them the importance\nof ***C:ir caspj.for V\u00bbar8a'Has,..8p.jas .to\n\u2022rtialjp'.the. -(irongtat \u00bbo-is'b)o:cage..for.\nthe.British. That was the.only interference, so far as tho British cabinet\nwas concerned. Tbe. military representatives at Versailles suggested a\ncompromise between tho. British and\nFrench view, comparing It with. the\nrecommendatlou that-steps ought .to\nbetaken by the French army to.assist\nthe British if attacked. \u25a0\nVersailles Council\n''That recommendation Was to come\nup for discussion at the meeting of\nthe Versailles council on Feb. 1. Before that meeting, Field Marshal Haig\nand Gen. Petain entered Into an agreement for the extension of the front tp\nVarissy and Field Marshal Hale re*\nported that to the Versailles council.\nNo further extension of the line occurred.'\n\"That .is the. whole story and I want\nto make it perfectly, plain that Field\nMarshal Haig's action in-taking ovor\nthe extension had tho full approval of\nthe British cabinet, having regard for\nthe pressure froip the French authorities, Field Marshal Haig had no\noption but to mako the extension. Ho\nwas, ln our judgment, absolutely right\nin that course; Naturally, he would\nhave preferred'not to have done It.\n\"What Idas been the result? There\nhave been previous rumors full of mischief, full of harm, so far as the British army is concerned,'that we, in\nspite of remonstrations of Haig and\nRobertson, forced them to take a risk\nthey ought never to havo taken. Does,\nanyono suppose that Field Marshal\nHaig would for a moment have accepted such .responsibility?\n\"I am not sorry that this opportunity has been given to dispose, once\nfor. all...of these rumors. But the real\nlesson of this discussion about tho extension ! of the line was the importance of the unity of command; it would\nnever have arisen but for that. I\nUnited Army Now   '.\\\n\"Instead of separate army commands we now have one united'army\nand one commander responsible for\nthe whole and every part. I am glad\nof that. But it was not so much a\nquestion of length of line. It was a\nquestion of the reserves massed bo-\nhind them. There are two general\nconsiderations to which I must refer.\nI would like to say something about\nthe effect of such action as Gen.\nMaurice's on the discipline -of the\narmy. It was a flagrant breach of\ndiscipline, which I regret, Mr. Asquith\nfailed to depreciate this.--\n\"If there was a vote of censure on\ntho government we could not possibly\ncontinue operations, If It carried ,and\nMr. Asquith would then be responsible for the government\" (Cries of.\n\"No, no,\" cheers, arid \"Wait and see.\")\nThe premier continued.his reference\nto Gen. Maurice's breach of discipline\nand asserted that he ought to havo\ntried everything before ho did such a\nthing.   Then ho said:\nDistracting Controversies\n\"I wonder if It- is worth while to\nmake another appeal to all sections pf\nthe country. Thoso controversies are\ndistracting, paralyzing, rending. It is\ndifficult enough for any ministers to\ndo their woik fighting\"this war. We\nliad months.of controversy over unity\nof command. This is really a sort of\nremnant of that' controversy.
