critics whose army procedure seemed

brass, excited some adverse comment.

John French was Gre of the British Of

rather than serve against their coun-

the time were prophetic. for he said:
The time may come soon when the
services of this officer will be needed.
Many decorations have been con-
ferred- upon the distinguished soldier
Not only has the empire which he so
ably represents showered him with
honors and orders, but he has also
been decorated by both of Englands

bit of added interest, Germany and
Austria have contributed toward his
medal and order casket, for they, too,
have conferred honors upon him
Abroad he is recognized as a great
soldier and a strategist and tactician
of high order. Germany, in particular,
has accorded him high standing in the
ranks of his profession. and the judg-

instance, has been more than con-

Of the battle is the net result OF all
these smaller conflicts.
Let US take a section Of i've miles
in this battle line and see how q battle
is conducted. Both sides are entrench-
ed, their trenches being several miles
range of cannon. The general of one
side commanding the troops along this
front, on determining to make an as
sault, first endeavors by every posi-
BILE means to find out the strength and
disposition of the enemy's forces along
this five-mile line. for it must be
borne in mind that troops are not
placed shoulder to shoulder, like posts
in a row. along the whole line.
Rather they are concentrated at
the line vita artillery and horse and
foot soldiers SO disposed as to guard
and protect the intervals. Thus there
may be space Of a mile or more be-
in which there Is not a single soldier
stationed. But investigation would
show that this interval was swept
by the artillery of both positions and
could make a deadly flank attack on
any force of the enemy daring enough
to try to break through there. Thus
the whole line Is controlled.
But some places are. Of course, more
weakly defended than others. And
the attacking general first tries to dis
cover the weakest point of all. This
he does by scouts. both in the air and
in the cavalry service; by faint at
tacks. by spies-in short, by any
method that will disclose the weak,
ness of the line.
There are many factors that 20 to
determine the weakness Of a position
Not only is the number of its troops
and cannon to be considered, but also
the number that can be brought nm
to reinforce 1t when the enemy
learns that 1t Is to be made the point
of attack. And what has become. in

known as the general staff, composed
of his best soldiers. whose business is
TO keep abreast of all things martial
the world over. And not only abreast
this general staff will probably be
found ahead of the line in up-to-date
tactics and strategy.
A Star representative, therefore.
sought out and obtained an interview
with an officer of this body. who, while
kindly consenting to give all necessary
information, for obvious reasons with
holds his name.
The changes in the actual operations
of battle made in the last fifty years
are most radical" said this officer. In
deed, they are almost revolutionary.
The direct cause of this Is the marvel
Gus advance made in offensive weap-
ons. There is almost as much differ
ence between the modern quick firing
field gun, as compared to the cannon OF
1861. or the modern rife, as compared
to the old muzzle-loader of the same
period. as there was between those
weapons and the bow and spear of me-
dieval days. Therefore. upon their in
PRODUCTION into practical war. the
methods of attack and defense had to
undergo changes equally radical: for a
field operation that, in the civil war.
would have been perfectly feasible,
would, In the face of modern guns be
suicide"
What are the most marked changes
in the actual conduct of battle?" was
asked the officer.
Il think that the infantry attack
upon an fntrenched position has prob
ably undergone more radical changes
than anything else" was the reply.
That. by the way, is the most i'm
portant of all movements in battle.
Indeed. 1t is upon such infantry at
tacks that pitched battles generally
: turn. The raids and "Reminiscences

Of the objective position does not offer
some degree of shelter and protection
for the attacking force. that position
may be considered as unassaflable,
even though held by a comparatively
I've will suppose, then, that our
commanding general, after a careful
examination, has learned that certain
mile of the line is held by 1000 men,
supported by thirty guns-that is, the
guns are placed in position in the rear
of the defending trenches in such way
as to fire upon the ground in front. He
also finds that this ground in front is
divided here and there by stone fences.
strewn with boulders. gullies zigzag-
ging through 1t. hillocks and rock
ridges traversing it in different direc-
tion-in short. offering many small
shelters for advancing troops. And he
determines that this offers the most
favorable point for attack. And his
determination is reached on account of
the favorable shelter that the ground
offers his attacking troops.
He now brings up sufficient artillery
to give him superiority of fire. This
lS dUSOlutcly cSScHlidlp IL ldio uo"A
in all books on modern tactics as the
first rule of attack. to obtain a dis
tinct superiority of fire over the enc
my at the point of attack. OF course,
the enemy is not aware of this con-
centration of artillery, for every move
is hidden from his prying eyes.
This artillery he places within close
range If possible-that is, within $500
or $500 yards of the enemy's trenches.
This is considered the ideal distance
for field guns. for with modern guns
artillerymen can hit a sentry box at
that distance, while still being out of
range of the enemies rifles.
His artillery in place, the general now
brings up his attacking infantry. Here,
too, he must have superiority of fire.
for these men have a double duty to per-
form; they must not only use their rifles
against the enemy, but they must advance
upon him over more than a mile swept,
as far as possible, by that enemy's fire
of field gun and rifle.
LAS an assaulting column, then he
brings, let us say. 10000 troops. These
he divides into three bodies; the first
the firing line, the second the supports
and the third the reserves. These
troops are formed in the three lines
behind one another in some position
well screened from the enemy's view
