Show WRITER EXCUSES WITHDRAWAL OF GERMAN TROOPS LONDON, March 3, 8:55 p. m.

That we are able to hold the Somme front If we desire, our incomparable warriors have shown tiie world. If we now vacate a small strip of this front, we obviously do so only because we want to, and not because be-cause we must. This confidence at the front in what our commandera order should strengthen the confidence confi-dence at home that what appears to be a retreat may be a prelude to undoubted un-doubted advances. |
