There waa aot single yard taken ver as the result of ths Versailles eouaelL Although General Maurice did siot say so. the real point waa this: -It waa asked la question by Mr. Lambert whether thia portion of the lino had not been taken over by the War Cabinet against the objection of Field Marshal Haig and General Rob ertson. There was not a word of truth In It. "Of course. Field Marshal Haig was aot anxious to extend his line, nor waa ths War Cabinet. Ths pressure from the French government and tha French army waa enormous. What waa done was aot done In response to pressure front ths War Cabinet. "I am aot suggesting- for moment that our French allies were acting un fairly. There waa considerable ferment In Frsncs last year on ths subject of the length of he line held by the French army. Ths French losses had been enormous and they had sustained the great strain of ths fighting for three years. "There was larger proportion of French manhood put into ths line than la aay other belligerent country. They held a fro at of S3 miles: we held 11 miles. But the Germans were massed much mors densely against our line, nd our lines were much mors vulner able. French Vrged Extras!. "Ths French were pressing us to ex tend our line la order that they might withdraw men from the army for pur poses of agriculture. Their agricul tural output had fallen enormously and they found It essential that they should withdraw part of their men for the pur pose of cultivating their soil. 'The chief of ths French staff an General Robertson and the cablne felt that It was Inevitable that during the Winter months there should be soms extension, and they acknowledged that something had to be done to dim the French demands.' The principles laid down by General Robertson aad accepted by the War Cabinet were: U They accepted la principle that there must be an extension of tbs Brit Ish Use. : That the time and extent must ha left to ths two commanders-in-chief to settle together. J That no extension was possible nntil the offensive waa over. That the line to be taken over must depend upon tha military policy for 111 aad ths rols assigned those armies. rrassssla Dee la red SwsiaeJ. Everyone, said the Premier, would ad Ttilt that those were sound proposals. The Cabinet accepted them without demir. They had never departed from thoee principles one lota during ths ns gotlationa. There was a meeting at Boulogne between Premier Lloyd George, Oeneral Robertson. M. Pain leva and General Foch. which had been summoned to dis cuss an Important question concerning the Foreign Office, m. Palalave raised the question of an axtensloa of ths front. Mr. Lloyd George wss aot In ths least prepared for that, aad ha told Oeneral Robertson that It was matter he mast deal with, aad the whole matter was dealt with by General Robertson. la consequence of this subject having teea raised and discussed at this con ference. Field Marshal Haig got ths Impression that aome decision had been arrived at by the Cablnst without his consent. Consequently General Robert eon drew up the following memo randum: "At the recept Roulne-Fve conference POSLAM QUICK TO IMPROVE ANY PIMPLY SKIN Poalam Is a remedy that you ran pick tip at anr time and apply to any dis ordered skin with the confidence thst tt provides the quickest war to be rid of any Itching or eroplional trouble. and that it wm serve you well. rimples and Rashes.

"'"The general military policy fori next year now Is under consideration and will subsequently form tha sub ject of a conference with the allied governments. In .these circumstances, I the War Cabinet fear that until this I policy Is settled It will bs premature to decide finally whether the British front ean bs extended by four divi sions or to greater or a less extent I than this.' "That was communicated to Field Marshal Haig and naver departed front." Preach Premier Hakes Appeal. The Premier continued: "Afterward came the Cambrel Incl dent and the Italian disaster, which necessitated our sending troops from France. That made it difficult for the field marshal to carry out tha promise he had mads to General Petaln for certain extension, which was aot large as tha ons which subsequently took place. "It was then that tha present French Premier came In. and ha Is not an easy gentleman to refuss (laughter and cheers). He was very Insistent that the Brit ish army should take ths tins over. Ws stood by the position that that waa for decision by . ths commander-in- chief. , We never awerved from that po- sltion. At last. Premier Clemanceau sug gested that ths question should bs ex amlned by the miltary representatives In Versailles, and that ths Versailles Council should decide If there were any difference of opinion. "The military representatives at Ver sailles examined the question and ths only Interference. If It was intarfer ence, of the War Cabinet, waa that they communicated with ths chief of staff, who we thought was In Francs at the time, and Field Marshal Haig, to urge upon them the Importance of their case for Versailles, so ss to make the strongest possible case for ths British view. Cablaet la Fall That waa ths only Interference so far as the British- Cabinet waa con' cerned. The military representatives at Versailles suggested compromise between ths British and French view, coupling it with ths recommendation that ateps ought to bo taken by the French army to assist ths British. If attacked. "That recommendation was to come up for discussion at the meeting of the Versailles council February 1. Before that meeting Field Marshal Haig and General Petaln met and entered Into aa agreement for an extension of the front to Varlssy and Field Marshal Haig reported that to ths Versailles council. No further extension of the line occurred. "That ts ths whols story, and I want to make It perfectly plain that Field Marshal Halg's action In taking over tha extension had tha full approval of ths British Cabinet, having regard for the pressure, from the French author! ties. Field Marshall Haig had no option but to make the extension. Ha was. in our Judgment, absolutely right In that rke.
