PHILIP GIBBS’ ACCOUNT.
OFFENSIVE ONLY POSTPONED. (Received Fhis Dav at 10.T5. a.m.) LONDON, May IS, Mr Phillip Gibb's writes l that tlie Somme battlefield is again a quagmire, following heavy rain. The Germ Yins are experiencing the difficulty our nieli had in 1917. but the difficulties are Aot insuperable. The next phase of the offensive is postponed, not prevented. 1 believe it will come very soon. The enemy has merely revised the time-table. Ono thing he cannot do now, namely-, separate the Anglo-French. It is too late, as they are one homogenous army.
