BRToEs NEED SWORDS.


Special cAbls to Ths waihington Hsrld.
London. Oct. 10.-A young o11cer who
started today for the front showed the
Americans the new regulation sword he
had purchased through the war office
with the rest Of his kit and said at the
same time that II looked more like q
ploughshare than q weapon OF destruc-
ton and defense. One examination II
proved to be rusty, without any kind OF
edge. and totally unit for immediate
use.
Asked as to whether he could account
for this at such moment, he replied:
THE fact Is, our present equipment
in swords, sabres and other OF the less
massive weapons are woefully deficient
IN view Of the great demand that has
suddenly arisen for their use. For years
past we have been purchasing our reg
ulation swords. sabres. etc. IN Germany
and the supply having suddenly stopped
leaves us very much in the hirch. until
We get our British workshops going.

London, Oct 1o.-The secret Of the
tremendous German rush through Bel
gium and on to the outskirts Of Paris
now appears to be explained.
The German army was organized az are
the workers in a factory or coal mine;
that is, they worked in two shifts
Throughout the advance from Liege half
the army was sleeping while the other
half was attacking or advancing. and
by these tactics they kept the allies con-
stantly awake and wore them out by
sheer want OF sleep.
The fall of Namur was almost entirely
due to the two-shift tactics OF the Ger
man army. The bombardment Of that
town, il will be remembered was con-
tinuous for three days-from Thursday.
August 20, until p. m. on the following
Sunday.
From the moment the attack was open
ed IL was continuous and overwhelming.
Ports are said TO have been bonlbarded
at the rate Of twenty shells a minute
for at least seventy hours, and the mem
bers of the garrison who were not killed
or wounded were reduced to physical
wrecks by want Of sleep.
CouId Not stand out.
It is obvious that the German attackers
must have worked in two shifts to have
carried out such a bombardment Even
IL the gunners were beyond the range
of Belgian fire and safe from attack,
they could not have kept IT up for seventy
consecutive hours. In the garrison Of
Namur sleep would have been impossible
under such a terrific cannonade, and want
Of sleep is a stronger engine Of war than
even the German 1i-inch howitzers
From Namur right down through the
northeastern part Of France the German
advance was conducted on the "two
shift principle. which means that twice
day. when the shift that has just
slept comes up to the front to relieve
the shift those time for sleep has
come, on these two occasions the firing
line is REINFORCED to the full strength
OF the army, and vast attacks can be
launched. These, il will be observed,
have been the tactics employed. for the
great German rushes have not been con-
tinuous, although the general movement
forward during that stage Of the war
was
Only soldiers who have fought through
arduous campaigns can realize that sleep
is a thing to which the bravest soldiers
must eventually succumb 1t is a struR-
gle to beat on the stealthy approach Of
sleep only for twenty-four hours; seventy
hours is longer than most human beings
can resist IL. and by that time 1t is so
strong that II outweighs all other con-
siderations.
