A TRAGEDY OF WAR.
The Revue de Paris is printing, month by month, the fullest account yet given of the greatest disaster sustained by the Allies on the western front during the war. This was the defeat of the French armies nader General Nivelle between Rheims and Soissons on April 18th, 1917. The account is given by M. Painlevé, mo was the French War Minister at the time, though he only came into office when the plans for the battle were, complete and their execution "almost inevitable. .M. Painlevé has often been attacked for his own action before and after the saiash, so he spaka na a party to a case. Still, most of what he says is only new in the sense that it has not been fully published before, though it was substantially known to the French and British General Staffs within a few weeks of the calamity, The French attack, commonly known at the time a the Chemin des Dames attack, was to be the main blow of the Franco-British offen- sive for the year. Sir Douglas Haig, placed provisionally and with some quali- Beation under the supreme command of Nivelle, was to attack on April 9th from near Arraa in the north to our right Bank near St. Quentin in the south. Our part of the work was to draw of the German strength from the critical point, to kill and be killed and keep Ludendorff busy The whole rather than to penetrate' far. scheme was Nivelle's. Nivelle had been made commander-in-chief in succession to Joffre the Christmas before, to the exclu sion of Foch and Pétain. Nivelle was 'at the moment the latest fashion in generals. French political feeling, that winter, was in a state of reaction against the Somme school"-the school of Foch had Haig, the
limited objective" school, the school! which restricted the depth of infantry advances to ground on which artillery had quite ruined the enemy's defences: Nivelle represented a new Verdun school" of swifter, deeper advance. He had succeed- ed. at Vaux and Dounumont a few months before, by making his men advance in a way that the "Somme school" would have! thought reckless-because they or their predecessors had tried it in 1815 and found it disastrous, but this was forgotten; Fushion had changed it had gone back to the more slashing fashions of 1014 and 1915: Foch and Haig were back numbers: Nivelle was the man, and wisdom would die with him. So he was given the whole! France British offensive of 1917 to mould at his will.
His mind was completely mind up by New Year's Day, 1917. He had not a shadow of doubt, from then on, that he would be able to drive straight narthward from Rheims towards Brussels, behind the German frout, eutting off the German northern armies. To nuyone, soldier or statesman, who suggested a "doubt or, an extra precaution he said, in the effect. "Leave it to me. I pledge you my word we shall win. To infect the troops with his own optimism he circulatul freely! among regimental officers full written de tails of the plan of attack, the date, The attacking strength, everything." This was done in January. Within a. fortnight the enemy knew it all. Ludendorf in his book of memoirs tells us how a German raiding party captured, in the pocket of a dend French captain of the 2nd Divi sion, the French plath of battle. The Ger mans had now tie months in which to fit up as an abattoir the ground which Nivelle! meant to capture first. They drew back their whole line between Arras and the British right futilising the greater part of the intended British diversion. Then they sent down. the Rheims-Soisso
"Then front the troops thus economised. they rigged up on the high flats of Vau elere and Craor where the chief hopes of Nivelle's cong attack "centred, such an aggregation of chineguns and quick- firing tooded with couerte and metal, as in troopserver had tefface, before ur after in the war.

full of presenti ments of failure. Almost every one of Nivelle's chief subordinates believed that his plan as unsound and his hopes delz sire Paris one Minister of War after another found him pelted with expert warings. M. Painlevé evidently felt that h was drifting towards a catastrophe. But how could be turn down a newly chosen commander-in-chief, throw out of action the Allied campaign for the year, surrender the "treasured initiative to the enemy All he dared do was to implore Nivelle to observe any precautions still possible. Bat the sanguine Nievelle had no fear or doubt. He was as fey 38. Shakespeare's. Julius Caesar on his way to the slaughter-others might wobble or doubt, but he was constant as the Northern Star. And when April 9th had come and the English were already being killed in teng of thousands to keep the Germans off the Freuch, how could the French draw bark and let all Ludendorff's power tall on the English?
