GUN RANGE AND THE HEAVIER
RATTALIoNs.

BATTALloNs.
With the battle in Flanders taking
on a new aspect by reason Of the at
tack on> Dunkirk, in which gun range
has seemingly increased beyond all
experience, it is obvious that, how
ever modern may be the means Of
offense and defense, and however I'm
precedent the tactics which may make
use of asphyxiating gases, the general
strategy remains the same as in all
time. Indeed, the battle Of Neuve
chapelle, where the English Numbered,
and the. continuing fight around
Ypres, where they seem to have re-
trieyed their earlier losses, have de-
veloped into question mainly of
heavier battalions. Where the Ger
mans were able to concentrate large
forces they broke through; where the
English and Flemish were massed in
large numbers, they parted the at
tack and gained a few minor positions
for themselves.
1t is too early, moreover, to say
whether the Dunkirk attack is part OF
determined 1anking movement or a
mere episode growing out OF an
adroitly advanced park of giant artil-
lery. What is clear, however, is that
the German offensive is by no means
at an end, and that those whose wish
that the war would end soonN was

of this episode, save that In Turkey

decisive victory for the Allies is on

Whether in the circumstances the
