ALLIED WAR BLUNDERS. OFFICER ON THE LACK OF GENERAL RESERVE.
Very frank criticism of Allied war polier and methods of command is contained in as article, At the Supreme War Council, in the September Blackwood's, by Captain Peter Wright late Assistant Secretary Supreme War Council Captain" Wright, maintains that * for a period that can almost be called of years the British and French were at least seven to four to the Germans on the Western front and almost double in matéria).” At the end of 1917
Britain and France alone were, and had been for two years, numerically stronger than Germany, How much more, and how crushing, had their numerical supe riority been when more than 190 Russian and Rumanian divisions, were highting on their side: Yet, they had failed to win the
This failure Captain Wright attributes: to the lack of unity, both of command and plan, of the Allies Upon Sir William Robertson he is specially wovere.** His plan, and he had no other, was to raise more and more men. If the two sides were allowed to go on killing each other in France indefinitely, when all the Germans "were dead there would still be a few Aliex left and they would win the war." Bat at the end of 1817 German divisions were pouring from the cast to the western front. Germany might be counted on 10 fling them against the weakest point in the Allied line, and that pressure might be sufficient to inflict disaster upon the Allies before sufficient help could be brought up from other parts of the front."
Hence, says Capt. Wright, the scheme of a General Reserve, to be formed from the Armies of the West and to be placed nader the control of the Executive War Board-Foch, Wilson, Blia, Cadorna. This plan was elaborated after Caporetto by i Foch and Wilson,
It gave each Commander-in-Chief the advantages of Generalissimo. The
General Reserve, was a banking account on which each could drew if he were attacked; his drafts would be fixed by the War Board according to their judgment. On the other hand, he had, none of the disadvantages of a Generalissimo No Commander-in- Chief could suspect his forces were being xploited for the benefit of an Ally's forces, for each sation had its representativo, con the War Board....
Foch, says Capt. Wright, foresaw that the German blow must fall either towards Cambrai or towards Reims. His plan was to concentrate the larger part of bis General Reserve round -Paris, ready to be fung in on the flank of the German attack, whether it wore towards Amiens, or to- wards Reims for "the more successful the German's attack is, the longer and therefore the more open and unguarded his flank will be

DIVERGENT PLANS. But the General · Reserve - Wis formed. Why? Because, says Captain Wright. Haig and Petain met at the end of February and formed a plan which was wholly inconsistent with and destructive of the plan of the General Reserve. This I plan of the British and French Command- ders-in-Chief was unknown to Foch. That
a Captain Wright's belief,PA
The immediate consequence was that the General Reserve vanished, for, the Italians at once withdrew their casent. Captain Wright" does not blame Sir Douglas Hig his refusal was natural, for he could not undertake the double liability of taking over more French line" (as far south as Barísis) and feeding the General Reserve a well. But the defear of Gough's Army in March at once became inevitable if the Germans should attack him, bet mob
