Experts MiscaIculatcd.

As general staff officer, as Prussian
minister of war, as army inspector and
prospective commander. Gen. Won
Heeringen has been in close touch
with the modern theory of war, but
he admits that all did not come out as
the experts had expected.
Take the laying out of trenches,
for example" he said "The first
principle to be observed in laying out
trenches, according to our ideas be-
fore the war, was to secure as extend
ed a field of fire as possible so as TO
force an attacking enemy to advance
a long distance under the fire of the
defenders. Now we have learned that
the first essential is to have them con-
ceaned and protected from artillery
fire, even if the field of fire does not
extend more than fifty yards before
the trenches. That is enough, with
modern weapons, to stop any attack.
In a number of places along the front
our men ana the French occupy OPP
posite slopes Of the same ridge with
the crest of the ridge between them,
so that neither side can see the other.
In the other days il would have been
thought that the side selling he crest
could drive out the others but now
neither side dares show head above
the crest

having described the German soldiers
as charging in almost solid forma-
ton, and mourning heavy loss. The
general minated that there was a
great deal of legend in the story and
that In order TO get the men forward
under heavy fire it was necessary to
advance in such successive rushes
rather than in dense lines owing to
the effect OF the modern infantry

General Won Heeringen had only
praise for both British and French
The French were stiff, hard fighters

had to do with both French and
British fliers say that the Britons are
more enterprising than their French
colleagues and that the British hi
plane is superior In many points to
all other aircraft.
The clothing and equipment of the
English officers and soldiers is con-
sidered most ideal. Evidence of this
is given by the number of German
officers encountered wearing British
great coats, even staff officers of
higher grades considering themselves
lucky when they can put their should
