The luncheon at which Lord North cliffe spoke was attended by several hundred persons, including journalista, advertising agents, and some members of the House, an audience peculiarly suitable for the dissemination” of news. Lord Northcliffe had just returned from abroad, where be presumed he had been in close association with the Commander in-Chief and had been with the French Minister. He came back charged with tain facts for the purpose of showing that it was essential that compulsion should be enforced on Ireland. He understood Lord Northcliffe disclosed the number of British forces at the front. He had been informed that the War Office had not given these figures, but he understood that

At the beginning of November-as grey. the Germans openly, boasted that our and sodden a month as November can be offensive had finally spent itself and had become embedded in the med. Our answer was the amazing triumph of the Aucre, with the taking of 7000 prisoners to sweeten the cup of Beaumont-Hamel, Beaucourt, and St. Pierre Divion. So five months of continuous success was capped by what future critics may pro nounce the most brilliant victory of all the battle.

The record of the Central Powers has been particularly bad, not only in regard to the treatment of the hospital ships of the Allies, but also to the glaring accusa tions and insinuations of an improper use of such vessels by Great Britain. Th latter became so frequent and mendaci- ous about a year ago that the Admiralty had to issue more than one categorical thedonial of them. These falso storica began about the time that the submarine war on merchant ships was instituted, and when the hospital ship Asturias had been unsuccessfully attacked by torpedo in the English Channel,. One of the first of them stated that Germans in Ports mouth Harbour had reported that two hospital ships started from there daily for France, deeply loaded, returning regular ly unloaded, as could be seen from their emerging higher from the water. It was therefore suggested that the ships carried war materials and ammunition under the protection of the Red Cross. This palpable lie was possibly based on a sub stratum of truth, since hospitals require supplies, but it indicated the eagerness of the German official mind to find ex cusco for unlawful acts,

Germany has recently put forward "estimates" of the British and French losses, and I am able to state with posi- tiveness that the total British and French losses together do not amount to the Army alone. It might or might not be to figure which is given for the British their credit if it was true that they had lost fewer men than we and still their armies had given ground. But it is not true. And they have lost over 80,000 prisoners--more than the strength of nine of their divisions.
