GEN, GOUGH DEFENDED
BY SIR A, CONAN DBYLE
LONDON, Aug. 10 (by mail).—Writ
ing In the Evening Standard. Sir A.
Conan Doyle, who has developed from
a novelist into a military critic, do
dares that the retreat of the British
fifth army from St. Quentin when
the Germans began their great drive
on March 21, was not a disaster, but
one of the most honorable episodes of
the war.
ills article completely reverses the
generally accepted theory that the re
tirement of General. Gough's forces
was a disgraceful flight. General
| Gough has been suspended and is now
under charges for being responsible
for it, but Doyle defends his course
and calls upon the war office to pub
i lish a connected narrative of the bat
; tie and destroy the legend that the
British line was broken in the great
battle.
"It is not true." says Sir Arthur,
"that the line was broken, save in
the sense that when a division or
corps is turned at the flanks some
readjustment is needed to reform the
line The miracle is that under the
most exacting circumstances the line
was never broken, and there was
i
never a time when the Germans saw
open country before them and could
push on where they would.
“History will ask who is responsi
ble for the fact that the British lino
was pushed back from St. Quentin to
Albert in ten days. It was not the
soldiers It was not the politicians.
The only people to blame are the
idiots and traitors of Brest-I-itovsk,
who. by their defection, sent a tidal
wave of a million men rolling across
Kurope Where that wave struck it
was bound to wash something away,
it swept the British line back for
twenty miles or more, but was never
able to break it.
Retreat a Great Feat
"When we get our true perspective
the retreat from St. Quentin will rank
as one of the remarkable military
feats of the war.
"The evening of March 21 saw the
British Fifth army up In the air and
in deadly peril from causes over which
it itad absolutely no control. The
evening of March 28 found the same
army, worn and weary, but reinforced
and firm, strongly buttressed upon its
supports and presenting an unbroken
front to the Germans.
"When one knows these facts and
when one reads references to 'the
disaster of 8t. Quentin,' or to the
'breaking of the Fifth army,' one feels
that a serious injustice was done to
our soldiers and to our national rep
utation. When the public come to
know the whole story in detail, with
its hair-breadth escapes, Its desper
ate rallies against monstrous odds,
with brigades which were smaller
than battalions, and visions that were
weak brigades, it will find that there
| are few more honorable episodes of
the war. When, if ever, we get true
casualty returns of what the Germans
lost in that week we shall be better
able to determine on which side the
disaster lay."

NEW YORK. Sept 14 The old
general stood proudly erect. He was
a figure of war. When you ap
proached at the corner along the
Nevsky he would give you a military
salute and click his boots in smart
fashion. Once, you will be told, he
tommanded one of the most famous
army corps on the {lalieian front.
Suddenly he lowered his head, as
i' to hide it in the distance he spied
two non-commissioned officers, fat,
sleek. Well fed. As they approached
closer their elaborately embroidered
uniforms cttl your eyes. The fates
were not Russian. The officers swung
their canes brazenly, and a salirieal.
contemptuous smile played around the
corners of their lips Their epaulets
showed they belonged to the Twenty
fifth Prussian iufantry regiment. As
they approached closer to the gen
eral they stopped for a moment and
threw a dirty rouble note into the
arms of a poor, invalid Russian l«‘g
gar soldier. Then they resumed their
goosestep advance. For a moment the
pale face of the Russian general be
camo red—with rage or shame, per
haps both. A manifest feeling of re
lief came upon him as they passed by.
You turned your eyes upon the Prus
sians and noticed how a number of
Russian veterans on crutches, envi
ous of their comrade down the street,
ran after them, pleading with out
stretched arms.
But the general was gone. As he
turned the corner you could hear him
crying: "Birgevlya Viedomosti! Kx
tra! Germans advance in the
Ukraine!”
The old commander was selling
newspapers.
