Thi3 is impossible in this war because the flanks are protected by the North Sea and Switzerland. The war will be won by the power that keeps its reserves intact and is able to wear out the opponent Skeyhill said the Allies were unable to make progress formerly because there was no uniform command and because the valiant soldiers in the field were not backed up and. succored by the people at home. He pleaded earnestly at the Elks club Sunday evening for a full, co-operation of the civilian strength with the fighting ability of the soldiers.
