was made public tonight, paya a high
'rlhute to Marshal Foch and alludes
to 'tho "splendid fighting qualities of the

which fought side by side." ?

Igliting on various parts of the British
fjront, which, the field marshal states,
?vtiK carried ou as a part of the grand
-?lan of the campaign laid down by the
Viiied high cowmand. At the close of
operations the report declares :
"In the decisive contests in the period
covered by the report the strongest and
nost vital parts of the enemy's front
were attacked, his lateral communica
tions "were cut aud his, best divisions

W.OOO prisoners and 2,850 guns, bring

"liese results were achieved by fifty-nine

-vas signed by the enemy his defensive
oowcrs had already been definitely de

haVe meant only destruction to the
German armies and an armed invasion

The morning Post says that the field
marshal's report demonstrates 4 'bow the
