"A CAMPAIGN TO THE BITTER END AND WE ARE GOING TO WIN" , '■ (Rcc/ January 26, 11.20 p.m.) j i . i New York, January 25. The New York "Times" London correspondent had an interview with General Maurice, who said he wanted to correct the seeming impression in America that the French and British had reached the limit of their ability on the Western front, and were unable to push on. Such an idea was. entirely false. The whole British Armv. from the High Command downwards, held the positive conviction that the Allies would advance in the spring until the Germans on the Western front were utterly routed. The correspondent: That means wo may expect a decisive victory on the Western front. ' ' ' _ . General Maurice: There is not tho slightest doubt in the minds of the commanders. We. believe we have reached the point of superiority over the foe, and arc able to drive back and vanish the Germans. Thero will be a campaign to the hitter end, and wo are going to win.—A\is.-N.Z.
