PRAISE FRENCH TROOPS
CRITICS At M4NEUVRES.
General Tremeau's Skill States HIM
for C0mmander-in-Chief
Especial BIZ French Cable to The Tribune
rCopvright 1903, by The Tribune Association!


Paris, Sept 1s.-The French military manoeu-
vres which terminated yesterday, in the opinion
of the foreign officers who attended them. sho"
that the efficiency of the army has attained
higher point than ever. The most slshllicai'
lesson of the manoeuvres is the admlrapie fildi'-
ner in which the commanders of the armies
and of the army corps have undergone the Sc
we're tests arranged for them by General La
croix commander in chief and director OF the
maneuvres. 1t to-day is an open secret Ihat
General Tremeau. by the remarkable skill,
prompt decision and rapidity of movement ne
displayed in leading his army, is universally
admitted to be the ablest of all the french
commanders and has been selected to succeed
General Lacroix as generalissimo when the lat
ter is retired by the age limit. in 1909
1t is noted that of the seven generals who took
leading parts in the man9uvres on the Lore
no fewer than six-Lacroix, Millet Baza1ne'
Hayter, Blancq and Roydot-will be reureu
within four months. General Tremeau is a man
of great physical activity, and altbugh one OF
the senior members of the superior war council
is one of the youngest in point of years he mas
the full confidence of the army. Foreign oncers
who have followed the maneuvres admit that
this has been signal triumph for the French
foot soldier. whose marching powers far exceed
those of any other infantry in Europe AT the
German manpuvres in Alsace-Lorraine last
week the foreign attaches estimated the loss
from footsoreness at nearly 20 per cent, While
in the French maneuvres it was under per
cent.
The 31st Regiment Of the line in four sue
cessive days marched twenty-five miles a
day and the halts were occupied largely IN
digging yet out of the total of 2,10O only seven
men had to be sent to hospital. The 18th
Regiment. brigaded with it, worked equally
hard, and had only five men in hospital out
of an effective force of 1927 men. The troops
were fed spendidly, and the new field cooking
stove proved highly successful. Colonel Cousin
commanding the 10th Infantry Regiment, issued
to each daily extra ration of thirty
Jumps of sugar. The foreign observers also
state that there was not the slightest trace dur
ing the maneuvres of slackness of discipline
about which so much has been written. There
is nothing of the rigid automaton in the French
army but the morale is admirable. The feeling
permeates all ranks that every one is a soldier
and Comrade, working for a common end.
Owing to the reforms carried out by General
Picuuart the Minister of War, the French in
fantry soldier hitherto carrying the heaviest
weight of any soldier in Europe, has had the
weight of his marching baggage and utensils
diminished by seven pounds a man. c. l. 3.
