GERMANS ADOPT
NEW TACTICAL
ADVANCE FORM
NEW FORMATION is LlKENED BY Ex-
PERTs TO MACEDONIAN
PHALANx.
Difference is THAT PHAlANx OF
GERMANS IS OF ARMIES INSTEAD
OF INDIVIDUALS.

Correspondence II the Associated Press
I'ctrograd. June IU.-For the first time
in this war. the Germans in their latest
advance nto Russian territory. have
adopted a new tactical formation for al
tack. The new formation il likcned by
military experts here to the Maccdon-
IAN phalanx-with this difference. that
IL composed not of individuals but of
divisions and army corps.
This phalanX ia the advance from
Cracow. moved along the line of the
Gorlice-Iaslo E;zcszoff railway and in
'iuded ten full army corps. Of which five
forming the main striking head. were
picked troops withdrawn specially for
the purpose from the French front.
The phalanX was superabundantly
provided with artillery. including a
large number Of heavy batteries. The
latter was also u many eases brought
across Germany from the French front.
For example, twenty -four batallions of
The Pru>sian Guard Corps had with
them forty batteries. half of which were
of heavy calibrc.
The ancient battle formation. newly
applied IN modern war. had naturally n
tremendous driving force. but il was
deprived Of any great possibilities of
tactical movement hy the fact that u
Was chained To a line If railway. where
10y alone il could maintain its supplies
aud munitions IN the quantities required
bl such q huge concentration.
The rate Of movement at the phalauA
IN a forward direction canno have cN
ccc,lcd four miles a day. in the opinion
of Russian experts. But lis momentum
was irresistible and il was this phalanx
formation which forced the crossing Of
the San River at Lczachow. IL was As
sisted by an immense notilla Of aero
planes.
The Germans. ia withdrawing man,
of their best troops from the French
front. filled the gaps ncccSSaril, left
there with empowering technical su
pcriority. Thus where the Germans
find themselves opposed by = thousand
men and two machine guns. they post y
hundred men and twenty machine gun>,
confident thai u, continuing on the dc
feusivc with an extended use of the
technical %adiunctS ~ warfare they can
safely withdraw their best troops for
temporary service elsewhere.

END WORLD WAR
INTERNATIONAL PEACE CON-
cRESs OPENS WITH STIRRING
ADDRESSES 5Y DELEGATES.
Earnest Desire for Durable Peace Ex-
pressed by Delegates Belonging
TO Both 6elllgerent and
Neutral Nations.

The Hague.-Forty-tw delegates
from the United States to the Inter
national Woman's Peace congress,
who had been held up on the steamer
Noorlnm because of Great Britain's
order stopping traffic to Holland, ar
rived here Tuesday.
The delegates reached The Hague
m time for the opening meeting of the
congress Tuesday night, at which an
earnest desire to bring the worlds
war to a conclusion and insure dur
able peace was strongly expressed by
delegates belonging to both belligerent
and neutral nations.
Besides the sS6 Dutch delegates, the
gathering, which was presided over by
Aletta Jacobs. comprised fifty-one
women from America, three from Aus
tria. nine from Denmark, Eve from
Belgium (who arrived by special per
mission of the German military au-
ahorfties, nine from Hungary, twelve
from Sweden. fifteen from Norway,
kwelve from Germany. two from Great
Britain and one each from Chile, Ar
hmeniac Italy and Canada.
A thrill seemed to stir the audience
as the women of the various nations
uttered sympathetic references to the
sorrow and hardships of their sisters.
DR.. Anita Augsprug of Munich aroused
the enthusiasm Of the delegates when
she declared the womanly feelings
were above all race hatred and that
the German women stretched out their
hands for friendship and international
Dove.
Miss Courtney OF England recipro
kated with the assurance that English
women recognized the women of Other
nations as sisters and were heartily
thankful to the neutral nations fol
calling the gathering. declaring thai
hl women in their hearts wished fol
peace.
This was the first time when the
women of the world as an organized
body had been in a position to make
themselves heard in an effort to bring
che great war to an end, Miss Court
ney continued. and the women wer'
now going to say what they though
of the war, not as nationals, but a.
women.

SHAPE IN CASE OF WAR.
Two Hundred and Twenty-Five Vessels

Under Construction.

Washington.-Secre Daniels on
Sunday made public a letter he has
written to President Garfield Of vii
liams college, detailing the work in
the navy during the last two years.
Mr.. Daniels wrote in reply to Mr.. Gar
fields request for material to meet
statements that the United States is
unprepared for military emergencies.
Secretary Daniels says there are
now in active service fully commits
stoned 225 vessels of all characters,
which is thirty-six more than were
fully commissioned when he became
secretary. There are also 101 vessels
of various types in reserve and in or.
binary and uncommissioned, capable
of rendering service in war. We have
under construction and authorized
seventy-seven vessels (nine dread
|naughts, twenty-three destroyers, thir
ty-eight submarines and seven auxil
iaries), IS compared with fifty-foul
vessels Give dreadnaughts, fourteen
destroyers, twenty-three submarines
three gunboats and nine auxiliaries)
which were under construction or

All the vessels enumerated, those
in active service and those in reserve
are supplied with munitions of war
No navy makes public the quantity o
ammunition and torpedoes, mines anC
other implements OF naval warfar,
which il keeps ready.
The personnel of the navy is a
present composed of 1885 line, stat
and warrant officers, and 83,171 en-
listed men. Increases in the humble
of officers is dependent almost entire
ly upon the output of the naval acad
envy, admission to which is restricts
by statute. The number of enliste,
men also is restricted, and the nav,
is today recruited to the maximum
strength allowed. There are now wit
the colors 1924 more men-an In
crease>of IL per cent, than there wer
