General Bliss had discussed the matter with Sir William Robertson, and thus report- ed his conversation to Colonel House:

‘I showed him,‘ said Bliss, ‘that by the month oi May next, including troops now in France. we could, with facilities now at our disposal trans- port not more than 625.000 men, in- eluding non-combatant iorces; that without additional tonnage we could not supply even that umber oi men -—- He “pressed grave apprehen- sion at this statement.

‘He told me that he doubted whether ‘Italy could be held in the war- during the coming winter; and that should she remain in it would require the pAGIGHOB oi considerable troops irom the English and French ‘forces on the Western llront........ He said that the French man-pownr was going down....
