New-York tribune., 1915-03-28


Field Marshal French had as early
as the end of September, expressed the
wish to see his army resume its initial
place on the left of the allied armies.
He explained this wish on the g ound
of the greater facility OF which his
communications would have the advan-
tage in this new position and also of
the impending arrival of two divisions
Of infantry from home and of two in
fan ry divisions and cavalry division
from India, which would be able to de-
ploy more easily on that terrain. In
spite of the difficulties which such a
removal involved, owing 70 the inten-
sive use of ;he railways by our own
units, General Joffre decided at the be-
ginning of October TO meet the mar
shal's wishes and 10 have the British
army removed from the Aisne.
1t was clearly specified lat on the
northern terrain the British army
should cooperate to the same end as
ourselves the stopping of the German
right. In other terms. the British army
was TO prolong the front of the general
disposition without a break, attacking
as soon as possible and at the same
time seeking touch with the Belgian
army.
But the detraining took longer than
had been expected, and IT was not pos
sible TO attack the Germans during the
time when they had only cavalry in

Maintenance of the Strength of the
Army

This fact constitutes one OF the most
important advantages OF the Fench
army over the Germans. WhIle Ger.
many has created a great number OF
new units, army corps or divisions,
which absorbed at a blow all OF her
available resources in officers and men,
the French supreme command mas
avoided the formation OF new units,
eyccpt in limited number. and has only
admitted exceptions TO this rule when
il was able to count with certainty on
being able 70 provide amply for Dotn
tho present and future requirements OF
the new units as regards all RANKS
without encroaching upon the reserves
needed for the existing units.
Al the same time, thanks TO the
denots in the interior of the country,
tbp electives at the front have been
maintained at full strength Tho
sources of supply for this purpose were
the remainder OF the ei,ven classes
of the reserve, the younger classes
OF the territorial army and the new
class of 1914. A large number of the
men wounded in the earlier engage
ments of the war have been able 20
return 10 the front. They have been
incorporated in the new drafts, pro-
yiding these with useful stifenlng
of war-trIed men.
With regard 20 the supplies Of men
upon which the army can draw TO re-

MOST IMPORTANT WAR GAME
EVER PLAYED DURING PEACE

WASHINGTON, October 4.-What
naval authorities expect to be the most
important war game ever played in

list was ordered into place. They were
divided into two forces, one the Red. or

landing on American soil.
The purpose of the game is to de-

and for that reason. il was explain ed
tonight by Rear-Admiral Benson.
chief of operations. that the move
mcnts of the contending forces and all
particulars of the maneuvers would be
kept strictly confidential.
The attacking force sailed from New
port r. L.. and tonight had assumed
battle position at some point off the
coast. The Blue defenders, comprising
most of the battleships OF the Atlantic
Fleet sailed from Hampton Roads. and. q.
the enemy.
Plans for the maneuvcrs were
worked out by the Naval War College

ing the coast could best be intercepted
and destroyed The game will continue
for ten days or more before the final
result is known.
All wireless stations along the coast
have been requested to communcat o
what messages they may receive from
the ships to the Navy Department.
Separate wireless codes have been
worked out for each division. so that
reports may be read mt the Navy De-
partment, though neither feet can
learn in that way what the other is
doing.
Submarines and mines will play an
important part in the maneuvers
Theoretical mine fields have been sta
toned at strategic places. along the

LONDON PRESS TAKES MORE
FAVORABLE, ATryuI-nE

LONDON. October 4-I.ondon news

complain at the terms on which the
Anglo-French loan is being raised in
the United States are now less critical.

the loan already reported from Amer

tho United States calls for higher ad-

In short. the bargain is regarded as

known in London up to IL o'clock to-
night.
Events have been transpiring. how
ever, in keeping with the fast
approaching crisis involving the entry
of tho Balkans in the European conflict
Russian warships have appeared off
the Bulgarian Black Sea port of Varni:
French and British troops have landed
at Saloniki, n Greek port, fifty miles
south OF the Bulgarian frontier, and
Bulgarian troops have been massed in
great numbers along the Serbian
border.
From the central powers side have
come amplified reports OF the great
weight of men and metal being piled
up preparatory TO a blow against Ser
bia from that side, as the first step in
what the popular imagination has ac-
cepted as fact--German determine

Austrian border 10 Constantinople.
LANDING OF ALLIED
TROOPS AT SALONIKT
Delayed cables told OF the landing
OF the allied troops at Saloniki With
these reports arrived comments from,
the Athens papers, the gist of which
was that the appearance of French and
British soldiers in Greece at n time
when Greece still was outwardly ncu-
trai should cause no excitement. in
that their mission was. as one of the
Athens papers expressed it, TO defend
the railway against Bulgarian aggres-
sion. and give help to Serbia, the ally
OF Greece"
The Greek minister at London re-
fused to comment on the report that
the Greek government considered the
landing OF the allied troops n violation
or neutrality. and had formally pro-
tested to Great Britain and France.
In the west the Germans have per-
sisted in their driving counterattacks
against tho British until they have re-
taken most OF the Hohenzollern re-

diers. This is admitted by Field Mar

G. L. Coffee Severely Burned
G. L. Coffee returned to Clifton
this week from visit to his cousin,
Elmer Reynolds, near Pecos, Texas,
with his head and hands swathed in
bandages, the result of severe burns
received when a can of gasoline ex-
ploded in his hands on the 23rd inst.
Coffee and his cousin were preparing
to go to Pecos in an automobile, a
distance of fourteen miles, and had
built fire in the yard to heat a can
of water to warm the radiator. By
mistake Coffee picked up a can con-
tanning a small quantity of gasoline,
thinking it was kerosene, and started
to pour it on the fire when the ex-
plosion occurred. The five gallon
can was blown to atoms and the
burning gasoline scattered over his
face and clothing. Mr.. Coffee threw
his coat over his head and plunged in
to a snow bank extinguishing the
flames and thus saving himself from
serious injury.
