THE WEEK'S F3GHTSNG. I .-
THE WEEK'S F3GHTSNG. Small but important advances on the Somme front; operations with variable results in Rumania. and Transylvania; definite Allied suc- cesses in the Balkans; fierce fight- ing in Galiciain which the Russians maintain the initiative and are clear- ing the obstacles before Lemberg— these are the chief events of the week. Sir Douglas Haig's reports during the last few days ha.ve been almost abrupt, but they show us that not even the bad weather which has prevailed during the week can keep us back. The British centre is now north-east of Eau- court l' Abbayc." How far the new advance has taken us is not stated, but the main thing is that we are getting nearer Bapaume, which is a point the Germans cannot call of no im- portance, as they have said of every other centre on the line from Albert. Upon Bapaume converge nearly all the roa ds of the district. Bapaume threatened, its approaches under heavy and continuous fire, means, as Mr. Belloc points out, the send- ing of men and supplies round by considerable detours whenever the enemy desires to move them from the north towards the south of his line. How we have turned the tables in the West is shown by a retrospec- tive view of the war situation as it existed at the close of last year. A military writer declares that at that time the armies of the Central Powers totalled 170 German and seventy-six Austro-Hungarian Divi- sions, each of which comprised a dozen or more battalions of infantry and a similar number of batteries with subsidiary organisations, which gave a total strength of about 20,000 to each Division. To these 2.16 Divisions it is necessary to add the cavalry, artillery, staff, and other services, which brought their total forces to about five and a-half mil- lions, with perhaps three or four million men in reserve. The German Headquarters Staff calculated that the Western front of 500 miles from the North Sea to the Swiss frontier could be held by 105 German Divisions, the Eastern front from Pinsk to the Gulf of Riga-350 miles—by fifty German Divisions, and from Pinsk to the Rumanian frontier—300 miles-by about forty Austrian Divisions, the Isonzon 'front by a score of Austrian Divisions, and that rather more than twenty German Divisions were available for a greater offensive against Verdun, and rather less than that number of Austrian Divi- sions could be used to break through the Eastern face of the Trentino against the communications of the main Italian Army on the Isonzo. But the move against Italy col- lapsed. The Battle of Verdun has died out; German aims failed com- pletely. Germany was placed defi- nitely on the defensive in the main war theatres. How high ran their hopes eight months ago; Was not Petrograd to be threatened? Was not the Russian drive to be re- I peated? Instead they have to face the two defeats in the West. And the Austrians have lost, during the past four months, one million men, or rather more than half their whole Army, and much more than half their infantry, while the Germans have lost quite as many effectives upon all their fronts. In the docu- ment, given in our issue of yester- day, from the commander of the Fourth German Corps, the most sig- nificant thing is that it deals almost wholly with defensive tactics, as though all the Germany Army has to think about is the most successful manner of meeting our attacks. The able correspondent who con- tributes to the Westminster Gazette on military affairs comes to the conclusion that but for the severe thinning down the Allies have inflicted upon him in the West, the enemy, thoroughly alarmed by the Russian offensive and by the in- coming of Rumania against him, would have been able to make a much greater effort on the East. The effort he has made has com- pelled him to strain his resources, and limited in consequence his ability to prolong the struggle. And what, he asks, is that effort? To strike for the sake of effect at Ru- mania he has had to risk the further crumbling of his front under the Russian attacks. The condition of an effective counter-stroke against Rumania is that the rest of his front on the East should be, at all events, reasonably safe. Some have surmised that the Hindenburg plan is, by invading Rumania, to turn the Russian left. What would be the value of sucE. an attempt, the correspondent asks again, if the line somewhere else gives way ? The Russians are across the Eastern Carpathians, and the Rumanians are in strength in Nor- thern Transylvania. There is no way into Rumania save through the passes. Even assuming that the Germans could, for example, force and hold one or more of the passes, their rear would not be secure. South, therefore, as well as north, the conditions are against him, and that in spite of the strain imposed upon himself. And all this is largely i to tbp. wastage ou tLa Somme.
COMING OUT OF EATTli
COMING OUT OF EATTli SOME SCENES BEHIND THE S(ME FROM WE were at breakfast when, in trh. distance we heard the fain; cries oi the pipes. Now there is no sound on earth which so stirs the blood and moves the heart, no call devised by man which so shakes his very being. And there is no bonnier spectacle in France than a Scottish regiment on the march headed by their pipers. When we heard the first faint cries of the pipes, we forgot break- fast and hurried across the farmyard to the road down which the regiment was coming. Nearer and nearer came the shrill wailing sounds, and, suddenly, around the. corner by the church, we saw the ba.nd" which was playing the Scottish down from the trenches. Their music had in it an uncanny power of creating pictures irL,, the mind, of suggesting pride and con- quest, and death also. So down the street the pipes went, plaim ing that which spoke unwritable things tf the soul, and behind them, company b; company, the men who had crossed tliv wide ocean to light for the old homelant, of their fathers. It is always a solemi thing to witness a battalion coming off ths battlefield. In the high-lifted poise <f the men, in the sternness of their facet, one has a glimpse into -that of which ths soldiers do not speak. This morning tlia kilted men marched in silence through the villager, stained with the dust-clouds that hovered over the roads, laden heavily with equipment, but inspired by the song 01 the pipes. Their feet did not lag, al- though they had walked far since the dawn. The music got fainter and fainter, and long before the last company had passed wo could not hear it more. Another memory. Outside the village of H-, the road rises sharply to the plain upon which in July we met and smashed the enemy. At the top of the hill is the first complete sign of the havoc made by the guns. The village is scarred, and some of its barns and houses are in a sad state, but hernii a cafe and a farm of which only a few walls remain. Another road branches off at this point, and at its side are sign-posts bearing names now familiar to the whole world. Along this road, one afternoon in August, came a weary bat- talion "going down" for rest. They had pome from a wood thnt neither England nor Wales will ever forget. They had done great deeds there—greater than has been, told—and they had suffered heavily. A band took up it3 station where the roads I Joined. and near it was a high officer aDd his staff. Leading some companies were the men who had taken them into action, nnd as they wheeled into the main road, j Ihese came smartly to the salute. But there were companies led by sergeants, and one fancied that a softer light cams into the eyes,.of. the officer as he looked, and understood. The band played on, taking up again and ?gain the same le- Srain. Brass has not the same power to stir the blood as the pipes of the Itigh- landers, and now. watching the broken; ranks go past, the men who had left so many comrades in their eternal sleep, the heart was not exalted by the glory of war, by its splendour and pomp, but gripped by its horrors, ifis awful price, its pains. Still another memory, this time of the days before the advance, wken the regi- ments went nn day and night by rail, rpp-i- ments new out. and eager to play thHr part; singing, joyous, laughing boys. They joked at everything. Tlier rode in those covered wagons with sliding doors which, our Any had used, before the war, for ita traffic in merchandise. They knew littler of the country; they had no idea, within a* hundred miles, where they were in France., And their one insistent question was: Are we getting near the front? One night a irnin stopped in the station, and the men. told to line up on the platform. What ex- citement! Vhat jubilation When that train had gone on, and quietness came once more, their ears caught a far-away boom—boom. What was that? Flashes swept over the pastern sky. What were they? The boom, the flashes, were their introduction to the war, and as they marched into the blackness to the billets of the village they thought for a few minutes that they were on the last stage of their iournev to the line. And th^v voiced their gladness in that jovial John Bullish anthem of the sbldier: ó Here we are again, boys! Here we are again! But the line was over twenty miles awsf as the crow flies, and depression followed the exciting moments when they thought they were on the verge of battle. How eager the new battalions were to sret up! How far is it to the front F" will their main question. At the station hut of L-- the writer had a large map showing the north-west front, and when the unit* find the drafts went through, sometimes staving awhile here, it was often requisi- tioned and the exaq,t distance to the li"3 carefully measured. And sometimes in the dead of night one heard the troop tTIlh" soing through, and their occupants sing- in? and cheering. It is not expedient to relate, now, what the Australians did, in their exuberant joy, when they realised they were very near the fighting aone: but the soirit of all. the men of the homeland and of the daughter-lands, was the same-— a burning desire to meet the foe, and that quickly. I' The excitement soon passed. Soon theso lads of ours came to thp railhead from whence they could see, from afar, the observation balloons that lined the front, where they could hear the guns thunder- ing, and at night, see the flashes, and the flares of the star-shells. They detrain, form np: and then it is off to that desert land soared by white lines and spattered !qurl bv w l i i t(? I by many craters—past ruined villages, and so up to the plateau which the valour of Britain has won. They march through the villages, a little more subdued now, for the terrors of war are all around them. They see the ambulances speed by. This ia no place for frivolity. And yet there re- mains the same anxiety to get np, to be in the battle. How many years ago was it that, in conferences of all sorts, crey beards and sad philosophers were dis- cussing the deterioration of youth and hit mad devotion to the pleasures ef self? I J. D. W.
