WAR HISTORY.
GREAT GERMAN OFFENSIVE.
BLAME FOR PREMIER.
Writing in The Nineteenth Century for October, Col. Repington says: In the September number of Blackwoods Magazine Captain Wright endeavours to prove a number of things which are both erroneous and misleading concerning the plan of campaign for 1918, the actions of various military authorities on the British and French side, the comparative strengths of the Allies and the German enemy, and the causes of our defeats in the spring of the year.

The entry of the Spanish com- mander, General Berenguer, was impressive. The native notables gathered at the gate, and as he approached they sacrificed a bull as a mark of their submission:
A crowd of Jewish residents later approached the general with a peti- tion to be allowed to wear shoes, a privilege hitherto forbidden by the Mahommedans.

"A woman must always be willing to accept a juting. Men are cast off every day of the world, and some- times they take cynide, but more often they move about and find some body else. Love is so much a marter of geography"
"Most marriages are successful— because the woman wants no liberty and the man takes liberty."
In view of Captain Wright's per version of history and of facts it is necessary to sate once more the real reasons for our heavy defeats of March 21 and April 9.
