There came that night a special moment of decision for Sir John French; and on his decision perhaps reated the fate of the cam- paign. He himself has stated it undramati- cally in his despatches. Should he use the First bo reinforce the Second and Third, thereby securing the ground already won en the right? They were drawn thin, the Second it is said, French, and Third-thin. One day, visiting the lines, talked to a colonel who was hard present. We can't hair cut much

The Second and Third were doing the in- possible. If any military fore sines wars legan ever needed reinforcements it was this

one. But there was the threat beyond Ypres at the point between the English left and the Franco-Belgian right--a place where the weak spot in the bladder might and, bulging too much, break. Gir French, with the air, someone has said, of a business man closing a dent," made his close to let the Second Corps and the Third continue with the impossible. He sent the First Corps to the line about the city which has given name to this whole series of actions Ypres. They incorporated what was left of Rawlinson's force; then propared to dig in and hot.
