GERMANS ADOPT
MACEDONIAN PHALANY
(By Associated Press.)

PETROGRAD, June 5.-For the first
time in this war, the Germans in
| their latest advance into Russian ter
ritory, have adopted a new tactical
formation of attack. The new for
nation is likened by military experts
here to the. Macedonian phlanx-with
this difference, that it is composed,
not of individuals but of divisions
and army corps.
This phlanx, in advance from Ora
COW, moved along the line of the Cor
lice-Jaslo-Rzeszof railway, and in .,
cluded ten full army corps, of which
five, forming the main striking head,
were picked troops withdrawn spec
tally for the purpose from the French
front.
The phlanx was superabundantly
provided with artillery, including a
large number of heavy batteries. The
latter were also in many cases brought
across Germany from the French
front. For example, twenty-four bat
talions of the Prussian Guard Corps
had with them forty batteries, half of
which were of heavy calibre.
This ancient battle formation, newly
applied in modern war, had natur-
ally tremendous driving force, but
it was deprived of any great posi-
bilities of tactical movement by the
fact that it was chained to a line of
railway, whereby alone it could main
tain its supplies and munitions in the
qualities required by such huge
concentration.
The rate of movement of the phlanx
in a forward direction cannot have
exceeded four miles a day, in the
opinion of Russian experts. But it's
momentum was irresistible, and it
was this phlanx formation which fore
ed the crossing of the San River at
Lexachow. 1t was assisted by an i'm
mense ffotilla of aeroplanes.
The Germans, in Withdrawing many
of their best troops from the French
front, filled the gaps necessarily LEFT

German Soldiers Make

shelters Of the men were first of all
lined with basket work, to prevent
caving-in and contact with the sticky
clay. Nearly every shelter-hut had
chairs and tables of basket work. Many
of them had chimneys of willow en-
cased in clay. Summer houses of va
rious shapes and designs were built
back of the lines later, the most com
mon type being basket-work woven in.
On the top of the dyke were the loop
holes from which the defenders fired
at the Russians on the other bank.
Each man had excavated for himself
a niche, man-high, rooted and lined
with osiers, from which he could at
tend to the principal task of a soldie.
in full comfort and security.
Sod was cut and brought from
distance and the outside of the houses
and the slope of the dyke were care
fully sodded with the loving care of a
good lawn artist. With the coming of
spring, gardens had been laid out ev-
erywhere, each shelter-hut having at
least one, with a decorative border of
stone or sod before the door.
When the correspondent visited the
scene the basket-ware homes were
empty. Polish peasants were turning
over the straw in the beds, searching
for money or trinkets, which might
have been lost, or were carrying away
the doors, windows and furniture,
while the soldiers who had built them
were miles to the eastward in close
pursuit of the retreating Russians.

AMERICAN CONSUL
HERO IN SYRIA
by Associated Press.)

CAIRO, June 5.-Refugees who ar
rived at Alexandria from Jaffa stated
to a representative of the Egyptian
Gazette that the American consul at
the Syrian port nipped plan of the
Turkish officials there to keep for
themselves three-quarters of the re-
lief supplies of food contributed by
the Jews of the United States to their
suffering co-religionists in Palestine.
The food was brought over on the
American ship Vulcan. Her arrival at
Jaffra was enthusiastically greeted by
the Turkish authorities for a reason
soon apparent. Before allowing any
food to go through to the starving
Jews, they demanded the greater part
for themselves.
Royal permission to land the sup
plies had, however, been granted by
the Sultan, and the arrival of the con-
sui with the necessary papers settled
the matter.

with empowering technical

there, with empowering technical
superiority. Thus where the Germans
find themselves opposed by thousand
men and two machine guns, they post
a hundred men and twenty machine
guns, confident that by continuing on
the defensive with an extended use of
the technical adjuncts of warfare they
can safely withdraw their best troops
for temporary service elsewhere.
Colonel Colomonoff, the best known
newspaper military expert in Petro-
grad, discusses the French position in
his latest article. Pressure from two
sides, he says, is an elementary pri-
ciple of coalition warfare In the
fighting of the past month the Rus
slams have drawn upon themselves en-
ormous masses of first-grade German
troops Withdrawn from the West
front. Naturally the French have
tried to reply by putting renewed
pressure upon the weakened enemy
facing them. But extra rapid-firers,
extra artillery and the use Of gases,
are taking the place of men in the
German lines on the West, and for
this reason the French attempts at eX-
erting pressure have shown no signs
of relieving the Russians.

TARNOW, Austrian Galicia, June 5.
-Basket-work with willow twigs has

science of fortification and the art OF
'home-making in the trenches" The

Hhe position which they took did
