EMPLOYED GERMAN SYSTEM

EMPLOYED GERMAN SYSTEM
BERLIN, Dec. 2.-The attempt made
in the French press to represent the
defeat of Turkey as discreditable to
Germany's military system is calling
forth much discussion in the German
press. 1t is argued in France that
as most of the Turkish officers were
either trained in Germany or received
their training from German instructors
serving in Turkey, German military
science has now been tried and found
wanting.
In replying TO the French view Ger
man military men say that their in
struction in Turkey was purely theo-
retical. never applied, for the reason
that Abdul Hamid was afraid to allow
large bodies of troops to operate to-
gether lest a military revolution break
neuvers during his reign.
Under the present sultan a begin
ming has been made with maneuver
practice, but the time has been too
short to effect any substantial improve
ment in the training of the Turkish Of
ficers. German military men say, too
that the Turkish army has had little
or no practice in target shooting, and
this is true of both infantry and artil.
| lery. Bulgarian officers are also com.
ing forward in the German press in
confirmation of this statement. They
| say that the shooting Of the Turks was
generally very bad.
| SO far as military tactics are con.
cerned. a Bulgarian writer says tha,
the German system actually did prove
victorious-not, however, on the side Of
the Turks. but on that of the Bull
garians; for the latter have strictI,
followed German models. On this point
too, Admiral Schlieger writes that the
attempt to discredit German military
science by reason of the defeat Of the
Turks Is futile since il was with the
German system that the Japanes.
were victorious over the Russians.
Moreover, German military men act.
ing as war correspondents have point.
ed to various defects in the Turkish
military organization as largely &C.
counting for the defeat of Turkeys
armies. The leisurely pace at which
the war with Russia was fought en-
couraged the Turks in believing that
they would have ample time for mob
ilization; hence they were far from be-
ing ready when the war broke out
and they have been compelled to con-
tinue their preparationS long after
their cause was completely lost
