"As a tribute to the valour of the British soldier and the character of the British nation," Lord Haig has reprinted in two volumes-one of them containing maps-the dispatches in which he informed the British Government and the British people of the prowess and progress of the British armies under bis command, "says The London Times,

They are a record, in fact, of the work. thanks to which all ranks rapidly im- proved their Hghting-experience and professional skill, and adapted them to a struggle full of suprises. "They give a picture of the enormous task devolving upon the various. services charged with supplying the evergrow. ing needs of a modern army.
Battle of the Scarpe-August 26- September 3, First Army: 16,000 prisoners, 200 guns.
Battle of Havrincourt and Epehy- September 12-18, Fourth, and Third Armim; 12,000 prisoners, 100 gune.
Battle of Cambrai and the Hinden- burg Line-September 17-October 5, Fourth, Third and First Armies, which ended in the breaking of the Hinden- re-burg Line and in the capture of 35,000
prisoners and 380 gens.

And here he takes the op- portunity to state that the dispatches do not state why the period of deci- sion was so short while the period of attrition was so long..
Battle of Flanders-September 28-- October 14, Second Army.
Battle of Le Cateau-October 6-12, Fourth, Third and First Armies.
Battle of the Selle-October 17-25, Fourth and Third Armies: 20,000 pri- soners. 475 guns,
Battle of the Sambre-November 1-11, Fourth, Third and First Armies; 19,000 prisoners, 450 guns.
