LESSONS OF MANTUVRES
Remarkable Work by AirShIps
Attached to French Forces.
HIGHLY Efficient ARMY
No More Massing of Artillery
Motor Vans Successfully Used
Lighter Equipment.
IBy Cable to The Tribune. j

Paris, Sept. 1.-THE grand mannuvres
IN picardv and Normandy, where for the
last fortnight sixty thousand troops Of
all arms have been pitted against each
other under conditions as nearly as pos
sible resembling those Of actual war,
are now ended. Your correspondent,
provided with special permission by
the Minister of War. followed the
movements Of the Third Army Corps,
commanded by General Meunlec. VINO
is considered one of the best strate7
gists and artillery generals in France.
After four days Of close observation
among the various units on the lighting
line. as we'll as on the routes of supply
and communication and at the aviation
camp, the following seem to be the
salient lessons of the manpuVres Where
for the first time the opposing forces
have taken the field with their full war
compIements Of field artillery OF lZO
sruns or thirty batteris, to an army
CORPS, where for the first time the SER
vice Of reconnaissance has been con-
fided to aeroplanes and dirigibles. and
also where supplies Of food and water
have been provided by motor vans.
First of all is the magnificent service
rendered by the aeroplanes, which IN the
future must carry a trained military Cd
server as well as pilot Inc aero
planes on six occasions brought tnfor-
nation concerning the enemy's move
nients which enabled the opposing gen.
erals completely to change their orders
nf battle The aeroplanes perform a
service which may be compared to that
of squadrons of cavalry scouts gallop1ng
in the sky at a height Of three nun
dred or four hundred yards, but in foggy
weather or in a gale Of wind aero
planes are, of course, useless.
The second lesson Of the manpuVres
IS that the old Napoleonic method Oh
concentrating all artillery batteries, as
was done at the battle Of Wasram, Is
now obsolete, owing to the thin, eX-
tended fighting lines Of infantry WIN
their magazine rifles. In, the future ar
tillery must be disposed in groups OF
three or four batteries, in support OF
divisions or brtgades.
The third lesson Is the superiority of
s,1ppIy service of food, ammunition ana
water by the motor vans.
The French army has never been III
more efficient condition than it Is TO-
day. It's field artillery gun OF 80 1nlil-
metres calibre is admitted by the Tor
eign experts who followed the manhu-
vres to be the best in Europe. The In
fantry soldier is somewhat overloaded
but this will be remedied by the sup
preston Of the present cumbersome
kna psack and the substitution Of one
lighter and more supple. Nevertheless
the French foot soldiers certainly cover
longer distances in quicker time than
does any other infantry in Europe.

Crandvilliers, France, Sept. I.-General
Rr,1n the French Minister Of War, ana the
entire army are enthusiastic over the
achievements of the aeroplanes and dlrlSl-
bic balloons during the military man9u-
vres which ended to-day.
Tho military experts are unanimous III
the opinion that the air machines are deS-
tined not only to play most important
role in future wars, but greatly to modify
If not revolutionize army strategy. Hence
forth il will be almost impossible to con-
ceal the position and movements of troops
and so WILL be eliminated practically the
surprise flank operations which have de-
cided so many critical battles.
Regarding the relative merits of the aero
nane and the dirgible opinions differ, but
the consensus appears to be that as each
supplements the other a combination OF
both is necessary. The aeroplane demon
strated its superiority in the matter OF
sneed. inyulnera bility and independence or
the wind and weather, while its portability
avoids the necessity of housing, but at the
same time the excessive speed of the ma
chine is a drawback, as it makes obserVa-
ton from them vague Twice during the
1nanoeuvres General Meunier, commanding
the Third Corps. was compelled to send
pilot Of an aeroplane back over the scout
ing field to obtain more precise information
The dirigibles although slower and offer
ing Z better target for the enemy, are able
to make more accurate observations, be
sides enjoying the advantage of being in
constant wireless communication with
headquarters.
The aeroplane drivers believe that their
lack of precision in scout duty can be over
come by a preliminary training in air OBJ
servation from balloons.
While offensive aerial operations have not
been attempted here, General Brun Is con-
WINGED that the development of the aero
plane, especially In an automatic departure
to regulate the speed and the increase or
it's carrying capacity to accommodate a
crew of three or four, opens a great field
for aggressive aerial operations, such as
dav and night raids for the purpose of drop
ping explosives within the enemyS lines
He believes also that the great height which
aeropianes are capable of attaining cons1-
tutes an important advantage.
The problem of fighting aerial war en-
gines was also tested during the manuu-
vres. each general having at his disposal
guns mounted on automobiles; field guns.

angle of seventy degrees for an attack upon
the dirigibles. and machine guns, for use
against the aeropanes. Theoretically, all
the dirigitle balloons were destroyed, while
most of the aeroplanes escaped. Hubert

private soldier during the maneuvres, will
