all disagree with "the general prin-
ciple or abatement" laid down or
made by Gen. Bollard.
Gen. Gullard. a West Pointer. had
ample opportunity to observe the
effectiveness of the German soldier
while this country was in the war.
Troops commanded by him met the
Germans in some of the hottest en-
gagements o: the war. and when
the arthics was signed he was in
command of the Second American
Army. numbering not less than 500.-
000 men and perhaps the largest
army in France.
“The German soldier." Gen. Bulo
lard said. “put out between two and
three of his enemy before be him-
self was put out of business. That
was the ratio or the German losses
to the casualties ot the allied Army.
Discipline is the essential (actor o:

Finley to be more elective than

“I do not agree with the general
principle enunciated by Gen. Bul-
lard.” Gen. Hines said last night. "It
is true that there was better dis-
cipline in the German Army and
that the Allied; casualties were
to: than the German. but I do
not think that you can conclude
that the German soldier was won};
three Allied soldiers."
Gen. Nolan expressed similar op.
intone.
If Gen. Bollard meant that one
disciplined German was worth two
or three disciplined British or
French or American soldiers. then
I do not agree with him.“ Bil. said.
“As to Just how man! undisciplined

This is the time 0! year when the

April 1. storms usualiy come along
from six to eight days apart. Some—
times for weeks we will have a.
storm on the some day cf the week.
and that' means fair weather on
other days.

chanting together is one in seven.
In the “inter months the Weather
speeds up and sort of runs in hlsh

changes are less regular and less

Just match the weather for the
