THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1918

BRITISH PASSED A GREAT CRISIS SAYS MAURICE " . , ir Position Similar to that of ri Wellington at Waterloo, f Says Chief. (By Associated Press) LONDON. April 18. Maj. Gen. F. W. Maurice, chief of military operam tions at the war office, today dia--cussed the battle in France with the j correspondents of the Associated Press. f "I returned last night from France' I', he Baid. "The situation yesterday & was very anxious. The Germans had ti taken Bailleul, Meteren, and Wyti' Bchaete and had brought four fresh r dirisions into action against us. "If the enemy could have mainly talned that pressure there looked to i bo vital danger to the ridge of heights which includes Mount Kemmel aad ft which is the backbone of our defense IS: on the northern portion of the battle y; front. New, Today is Better. f "The news last night and today is u better. We had a withdrawal to a U new line in the Ypres salient. The t. withdrawal was decided upon on Sun1 day. It was carried out partly on Sunday night and completed on Monday. It is a regrettable military ney ce6sity which forces us to give up ground which we won at such heavy cost. On Tuesday the Germans were still shelling trenches which we had j left the day before." Gen Maurice then referred to the 2 successful British counter attack in the neighborhood of Wytschaete, and $ continued: 2 "Preparations for shortening our J line in the Ypres salient were made . some time ago and the decision to

X carry It out was reached before the Z fall of Bailleul, owing to the danger 5 offered to our position in the salient Z from a flanking movement. The withZ drawal was not dictated or governed by the adverse course of events Z around Bailleul, but by more general Z considerations. , "Whole Situation Good." ; "What of the whole battle situa- ; tion? Our army has been going through a severe strain and that ; strain has been reflected at home. The Z situation has had its critical moments ; and still is decidedly anxious. But 5 remember we have accepted the principle or a united front and must accept the consequence of that princi5 pie. We must lok at the whole batZ. tie, not from our army's sacrifices - and sufferings, but from the standpoint of the whole entente. 4, "The British army is playing the ," role which it often has played before. It is fighting a Waterloo while : Bleucher is marching to the battlefield. I Stand a Great Pounding "The British army is under a terrible hammering, but providing Bleucher is marching to the battlefield j there is no reason for discouragement. "The enormous task which the Brit:'ish army has performed and still is ' performing may be shown by a few figy ures. In this battle of Armentleres the Germans thus far have engaged twenZ ty-elght divisions, and since March 21 J- they have engaged 126 divisions. "Of these the British army alone Z has engaged seventy-nine, the French ; alone have engaged twenty-four, and the remaining twenty-three have been r engaged by the British and French together. Of the German divisions which the -British engaged twenty-eight have ... been fought twice, and one thrice. Of ' J: the German divisions which the French engaged four have fought twice. Of J, the German divisions which the French and British fought together, fifteen have been fought twice and one thrice. 1 "It is unpleasant business standing the hammering, but so long as we can T stand it, the only question to be asked t Is: What is happening to Bluecher; ; what has become of the reserves? "Although the French army is larger V, than ours, we have taken the strain V of these battles off them. There is no ' reason to be in a state of despair if the situation is regarded from a broad point of view, and if we regard our great sacrifices rightly as a necessary - part of the great drama."
