Reports said tp be prevalent la Am

(he British dominions are used more
freely on' the western front than
are those from the t'alted KlnidoWas bandits aad ire to he .killed when
sre deaied in "auiuoruauve wimiv

"The proportipn of casualties on
the western front. Is actually higher
among tne troops Trora im urn
Klnidom thsa among those of the
dominions." ssys the sUtement. Fig
ures showing the property f di
vision from the dominions and fro
the United. Kingdom employed In the
battles on the Somme, around Ar
ras, and Tpres ana at .weseines, ar
given to show- that troops from the
Motherland' exceeded those from
the colonies 14 the ratio of from two
to' one fo five to one"." ' ' '
"The casualties 'also are compared
showing sccordlng to the sUtement,
that those of the United Kingdom
troops hare been higher 'than those
oi the' troops' 'front the dominions'. 7
"Clearly there can be no question
that the' 'motherlaBd' troops ' have
been' spared at the expense of the
colonials," sdds the statement. ''On
the contrary, the evidence poInU to
the fighting having been shsred, very
eqtially between the available troops
Irrespective of the part of the 'Brit
ish Empire from which they came.
Assertions that large numbers of
trained soldiers fit for service are
reUlned In Idleness in the United
Kingdom also, are-denied.,
i In all the actual theatres of . war,
the Drovortloa of troops from tne
"Motherland" aa , compared with
those; of the dominions is between
five and six to one. that Is, of every
six British soldiers serving at the
front, at least five have, been re
