M0TORCAR ARTILLERY
ACTS WITH CAVALRY
Move Made to Prevent Allies
Massing Troops On BEL
gian Frontier
(By ]. W. T. Mason, former United
Press correspondent at London.)

New York, Oct. THE critical posi-.
tion in which the German western bat.
tie front will find itself If the allies
succeed in massing troops heavily on
the Franco-Belgian frontier was indi'
Gated today by the appearance of q
large body of the kaiser g cavalry neal
Lille and the increased violence Of the
Teutonic attack along the River Disc
Both these things have the same pur'
pose-prevention of Franco.British
northern concentration, or Of an east
ern movement by the allies to sever
the German communication lines.
The German cavalrymen near Lille
undoubtedly are accompanied by motor
ear artillery.
This artillery, a recent German in
vention, enables heavy guns to keeE
pace with cavalry for the first time il
the history Of warfare. BY turning
the cannon loose before cavalry ad
vanees cnmasse, the horsemen s often
siye power " greatly increased.
The degree of efficiency shown by
these two opposite arms of the services
used in combination, will determine thu
effectiveness of the German resistance
to the allies northern maneuvering.
Taking No Risk,
1t is unlikely, however, that the al
lies are taking any serious risk Of be
ing thanked at the northern extremity
Of their battle line The German
mounted force in Lille 5 neighborhoo,
is said to be 10000 strong, far too small
a number to attempt flanking opera
| tions.
Nevertheless, as a diversion, 20,00t
cavalrymen, with motor guns, can max
themselves highly effective.
The leaders who, in our civil war
revolutioni2ed cavalry tactics, shove,
how diseoncertng a rapidly moyin
raiding body can be TO n far create
number Of less mobile troops held +
fixed bases, The addition Of equall
mobile artillery must enormously hav
increased this power.
The Germans, at Lille, therefore
though they cannot administer any
thing resembling a crushing defeat OF
the allies, may seriously interfere witt
the development the latters offensiy
operations, aud II the allies line is thin
It may even be forced back few mile
from ArraB.
