THE fog of war still lies thicky

over Norway. Only at a few places has it lifted to any appreci able extent.

Any British expedition of a con- siderable size needs to establish an advanced base close to the scene of operations; If It is not assured of such on the mainland, an adjacent island is the natural site for it.

In the Dardanelles campaign, for example, we established our ad- vanced hasent. Mudros The Island of Lemnes, some 60 miles from the coast of Gallipoli.

Where he succeeds in doing that, defending troops, who are familiar with the terrain, may still be able to check his progress by harassing his flanks from the high ground bordering the route.

It is foolish, however, to under- rate the

great strategic advantage which the German invaders gained by surprise in seizing at the very outset all the chile! poits and inany of the local mobilisation centres of the Norwegian Army. It was the means of multiplying the limited numbers which they originally Janded by heavy subtraction from the nominal strength of the Norwegian forces, as these might have been mobilised had they not been taken unawares.
