QUESTION OF RISKS
VIEW OF BRITISH AUTHORITY. ' NEW YORK, February 8. A representative of the combined American Press in a dispatch from the beach-head quotes a British authority as saying that the reason why the beach-head forces have not pushed on 30 or 40 miles inland will be given when all the facts are known. He said: “Both the Russian and German field commanders can be told to send a force into a virtually hopeless position, but we are not prepared to do that,” and he added: “In the months to come the public will have to learn not to criticise generals for taking risks for a very great advantage, even if they' come to grief.”
