Maude, in a review of the wai'il declares tliat the Allies are in a better , .position to insist upon their stf^ribrity that are the Germans. ■iUThrae- vital points have -.been gained byyus by our "efforts during the past year?(l9l6)" he says. "They are, first, the' definite ascendancy: of our artillery and air., power, Avhich together enable us , to- ,-oreate conditions favorable for infantry attacks ; second, the superior morale of our infantry, Avhich -can be relied upon to carry and hold tlie positions opposed to it ; finally, our* staff has now gained experience and seems so thoroughly at home in new conditions that it is to the last degree improbable that We shall again hear of reinforce-ments-failing to reach the fighting line at a critical time?"
