The recent controversy between Rex

"more ridiculous than sublime. |

MASS ATTACKS BY THE GERMANS
A Critic Quotes by the Book and Doubts the Re.
ports Of Observers.
the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: From the first attacks on Lege We have been
masses by the Germans. Their attacking forces
move forward across the open country in dense
bodies, which simply wther away under the Allies
rifle and shrapnel rre etc, etc.
When considers that Germans have, the
whole, about the amount of common sense as
the other civilized nations and have studied modern
warfare much more deeply than the others, such
asinine tactics surprising to say the very least
We must 20 beyond the common belief that Ger
many is in the clutches of dominant military caste
and admit that that military caste is pack of idiots
who don't know the most fundamental principles Of
their own business
Let what the Germans themselves have to
say about their own attack formations. From their
infantry drill regulations may pick such extracts
Paragraph S25- Within the zone allotted a unit
for attack level tracts of ground devoid of cover
must be avoided much possible, only small
across them.
"926-Every attack begins with the deployment of
skirmishers.
pass over broad tracts devoid of cover
Over such ground the enemy's fire may compel the
attack TO advance in loose. unconnected firing units
which offer difficult targets.
"Si2-Unlts in close order must not expose them
selves TO effective fire."
We should remember that the detailed descriptions
of the German attacks have all to US generally
at second third hand) from men whose point of
view has been unfavorable for calm and accurate
observation namely, the men at whom the attacks
were directed. And for the who does the actual
fighting TO overestimate the force of his enemy is
a phenomenon as old warfare.
Bus, some people will object, observers at German
peace manGuvres have seen them using dense masses
in supposed attacks The answer to that is found in
the preface TO the drill regulations: "In peace
maneuvres, unless exceptional losses are ordered
more men added TO the firing line through rein
forcement than can find room for the free of the
rifle. The men in excess follow Immediately behind
the firing line"
II is quite true that the Germans are thoroughly
imbued with the belief that omelet can be made
without its broken eggs. But it is too much to ask
us to believe that they needlessly and senselessy
sacrifice their men by adhering TO Anticipated and
unscentifc tactical methods. Whatever else they
may be. they bunglers when it comes to the
business OF fighting. 6. S.

Austria-Hungary in October to push south ana
try to get possession of one OF the main raliroau
routes to Constantinople.
The occupation of Servia would, however, De
big military task and one beyond Austria hun
gary's resources if the Russians should INVADE
Hungary or make a demonstration against
Vienna. Francis Joseph will probably have too
much trouble defending his own territory to be
able to afford leaving big army of occupation
more or less unemployed in Servia. 1t is prema-
ture. therefore, to compare Servia's fate with
Belgium's. Belgium is on the main western bat
tie line; Servia is far away from the main east
ern battle line. complete conquest of Servia
would hardly be worth its cost. Moreover, Ser
via can be reached from the sea through Monte
negro. and when the Allies feel able to spare the
troops it will be entirely feasible for them to send
an expedition to restore Servia to the Servians.
If Italy should enter the war on the side OF
the Allies a natural line of attack on Austria
Hungary would be through Montenegro and
Servia, taking in the rear all the Austrian coast
and frontier defences Servia's case is there
fore not as hard as Belgium's. Though ex-
hausted by three successive wars, Servia still re-
tains control of more than half of her territory.
Her government may never have to go INTO
exile And after the war Servia, well as Bel
GUM, can look forward to recovering all her lost
territory and being compensated for her heroic
sacrifices
