NOME. ALASKA. JUNE 16. DIB
The reason (or the apparent absence ol
co-ordinate effort in tne war operations
of the entente allies is one of the mys
teries oi the great struggle and lias,
doubtless, puzzled the mind of all who
have watched the various phases uf the
conflict.
From Lift very beginning there lias bien
an obvious lack of military co-operation
between tne great allied armies operat
ing on the various fronts and ihe condi
tion seems to have endured down to the
present day as indicated by the quies
cence ot the British while the Germans
were pressing the French to ttie very
limit of endurance at Verdun.
Britain is notorious for not doing more
fighting than can be avoided as long as
others can be found to do It for her bin
the comparisons do not by any means
stop witn Britain. The French, Russian
and Italians arc no .ess culpable If this
singular failing may be so termed. During
the great German drives for Calais, while
the British were being pounded as they
have never been pounded before noi
since; When their lines were repeatedly
bent and broken and at times crushed,,
the French remained quietly in their
trenches in Champage and Alsace, rs if
utterly oblivious of the fact that an
advunce in either section was bound to
relieve tne pressure on the British.
Again, wnen the Russian armies were
being torn to pieces by the sledge ham
mer blows of the Teutons, immediately
before and after the fall of Warsaw,
neither the French, British or Italians
lifted a hand to draw the fire of the Ger
manic hosts and save at least a portion
of the fearful punishment meted to their
eastern ally But after ii was over and
the Russians were all but completely
subgued, the western allies undertook
the famous September offensive of short
and inglorious memory. It bus been the
same throughout the entire period of
struggle
Regardless of how nard the other fel
low was pressed, neither one nor the
other of his supposed allies made the
slightest perceptible effort to come to his
uid by starting an offensive that would
demand the attention of the enemy and
cause him to divert a portion of his forces
to meet the new danger. Indeed we have
but one authentic record that the troops
of one army were ever sent to support
the fiercely driven soldiers of the other.
So far as the reports have disclosed the
iroops of France have never backed up
the men of Britain but once and it has
never been shown that the British fight
ers took an active hand in an engage
ment directed against the French front
after the Germans were driven back to
the Marne.
Aside from the September drive both
the French and British armies have ap
parently acted independently of each
other on all occasions. Each has seem
ingly been content to let the other fel
low fight it out as best he could, and
the devil run away with him if he was
unable to stand the game. There may
have been reasons for this but they are
extremely hard to understand. On the
other hand we have seen the splendid
armies of the central powers repeatedly
working In perfoct unison, the troops of
the one fighting with those of the other
and In every way co-operating t,,
mutual benetit. When Austria w.<> stag
Bering beneath the Hussion flail in <;,i
licia, the Germans ceased then effort.'
in Poland and hurried to th< aid o;
their hard driven ally And. rvh i :
