FACTORS ~ MTLIT4RY OPERATIONS.
Steam and Electricity In Modern Warfare
the Lesson of '61.

1t may safely be admitted that If the con-
dtions of warfare had been theSsame in 1861
as they were in 1915. or. in our judgment. as
late as 1850, the prediction of Napoleon and
Palmerston of the failure of the North would
in all probability have.been fulfilled.
But the conditions were not the same
Steam and electricity had in the intervening
time asserted their power, and had rendered
possible fora Mcclellan or a Grant what had
been impossible for Napoleon. Ii was found
that the capacity of the territory through
which 1t was proposed ~ move an army, for
the task of supporting that army might GEN
orally be disregarded. 1t was found per
fectly feasible TO maintain large force for
any length OF time IN regions where no sub
sistence of any sort or kind was furnished by
the soil 1t was found that water-transpor-
tation of men and supplies was as certain and
uniform as much TO be relied upon. as trans
portation by land: that the winds and waves
OF the ocean and the strength and direction of
the flow of the rivers could equally be ignored
when 1t was proposed 10 transport troops or
subsistence, or ammunition 10 given spot.
Ii was found that blockade maintained by
steam Yessels, though not absolutely perfect,
was tar more certain and constant check on
foreign intercourse than could be effected by
any employment of sailing vessels. BY the
telegraph all available resources could be
utilized without the loss of moment, and all
information instantaneously communicated TO
or from headquarters to or from any part of
the theatre of war.
In other words. machinery had in the pro-
gress of time become one of the great factors
in military operations. and it's introduction
worked as marked revolution in the practice
of commanders on land and sea- as its adOp-
tion for purposes of manufacture or of inter
communication had worked in the world of
business and ordinary life And. what was of
the greatest importance TO the North. the
advantages of this great change in matters of
warfare were absolutely at the call of the
stronger and more wealthy of the two com
batants,-From The War as We See II Now"
