Lord Grey's Pamphlet. Captain Frederick Guest, chair man"of the National War Aime Committee, writes to the "Dawny [Chronicle that the committee has not spent hundreds of thousands of pounds in circulating pro- paganda matter." The expandi- ture on printing, be mys, "for the half-year ending March 31- was under £50,000.** We do not know whether Captain Guest in- folades paper supplied by the Stationey Office in his printing bill. War Aima expenditura în not cor fined to printing. There is a considerable organisation, with a large staff, an army of paid speakers, and the exhibition of civema pictures on a large scale. The main point of our comment did not refer to the amount of money spent, but to the kind of propaganda matter upon which it was spent, and to the fact that the- committee had “boycotted -Lord : Grey's pamphlet while circulat ing That masser of material of little value from the point of view of educational propagands.

Mme, Foch Sure of Victory. La her first message to America and the American people, receiv»- ed recently, in the form of a cable dispatch, Madame Foch, wife of the Allied Generalissimo, express- ed her conviction that, with" America's aid, the Allies will win a speedy victory. The zermage was transmitted through John Moffit, éxecutive chairman of the French Heroes Lafayette Memoria!- Frad. Madame Fooh wrote: "What a debt of gratitude bizde. us to the noble American nation, which has for such a long tima. | brought its sid to the relief of our victims of war and which now gives me the best of its blood and pours it out on the battlefields in the fight against the common enemy. Sach magnificent soli darity can only shortly be rewarded by victory.” Madame Fech appesis for continued and inoressed assistance from America for French widows and children, and others made destitute through the present forced retreat of the German hordes, and particularly to provide the funds to remOTA from Paris into the country the little children who are in constant danger from the enemy's bom- bardment by long-range guns, of the French capital

The Americaa ...”

Army The first American “fald army" of which the organisation has been annousosd is not an “army" in the specific sense given to the word either by Germans or Alier. This arises from the anaemal strength of the American division as compared with other ärmier, An. sgainst the 12,800 men of a German division, or the somewhat larger number in i French or British division, the American division is more than 27,000, men: strong.." The com position of the various army corps announced some time ago, shows six divisions to a corps or about 180,000 men. This is five times the aizs of the French or British army corps. If now the brut field army is to comprise five fcorps it would mean a force of 800,000 men, sa 'compared with the sterage "army" of the tern front of two or thren, corps. of two or three divisions car

BAOL OF from 60,000 to 140,000 men. In fact, the US. fistfield smp would be namerically two or three times as strong as the army groups" of Kooh or Ludendorf The US Irst field army” really means that, of the 1,400 000 men shipped across, more than half are ready for battle
