French the Pioneers.
The French were the pioneers in
this. as in many other things in this
war. The Germans TOOK the lesson
taught by the Champagne offensive
and carried it to its logical conclusion.
In October the French concentrated
upon a narrow front, out the front was
not sufficiently narrow. They won
tactical success, but not an enduringly
profitable one. In February:
THE Germans are said to have con-
centrated 1000 guns of from six to
twelve inch caliber on front of TWEEN
ty miles. This is approximately one
great gun every fifty feet. if the gun
emplacements were ranged side by
size.
Perhaps one-half of this number
1000 zuns-were grouped on a front
not more than three miles wide. Most
of these guns are quick irers. Some of
them carry charges weighing from half
to three-quarters of Il ton.
Imagine what happened on that
front three miles wide by two deep.
when that hail of exploding shells fell
upon it No wonder French soldiers
who lived through il say that the air
was absolutely thick with earth aud
the fumes of powder. and that the en-
tire surface of the earth had been de-
stroyed"

View the situation. then, as it was
presented after the battle had been
fairly joined before Verdun. The flower
of the German army was concentrated
upon a front of seven miles. of which
three miles may be considered the bit
ing end of the wedge. Such advanced
trenches as were considered tenable
were held by the French. The bulk of
the French army had been withdrawn
TO the line of actual defense about Yer
dun. Upon the space intervening be-
tween the body Of German troops and
the body of French troops the Teuton
artillery played mercilessly and was
replied to by that of the French.
The bombardment in the offensive
at Champagne but the cracking
Of matches compared TO that at Yer
dun was the report of men who lived
through both.
Up to this moment the infantry of
either side had played subordinate
part. The German artillery searched
for the gun positions of the French and
sought to obliterate the trenches which
striped the ground between the armies.
In this they succeeded.
There were trenches left. was
the report Of one man. There were
no mitrailleuse left. The barbed wire
had ceased to exist. II could not even

there only remained a few wretched

AT such moments the French have
lived up to the best of the praise they
have received in the past" say the OBJ
servers. Their spirit in the charge
is unmatched by any troops in this
war Many of the men go forward
armed only with a bag of bombs and
dagger. Always the cold steel is the
last resort 1t has rarely failed them"
SO that the latest lesson of this war
is that the cave mans way of fighting
is after all the best way. For a time
1t was thought that battles could be
won by artillery alone. The men of
that arm exalted themselves. Now it
is recognized that they only prepare
the way for those who come after
them. Az and knife against soft flesh

Elven Attacks by Germans.

The Germans were nble to effect this
concentration by series of bluff at
tacks extending over their entire front
In the early days of the war enemy
activity could be observed by the fliers
One check to this was TO drive the niers
out of the air. the British did at
Chapelle. Another. while not relaxing
in hostility to the aviators, was to so
gum the cards that the enemy could
not tell where the heavy blow was to
fall, although cognizant of a wide
spread activity.
In January the Germans attacked in
force five times and in February eleven
times a different points along the line.
Not one of these attacks met with real
success. They were SO scattered, how
ever. to force Gen. Joffre to dis
tribute his reserves along his front, be-
cause il became quite impossible to
tell where they might be needed next.
Another consequence was to enforce
conservatism in moving the reserves to
threatened point Each OF these
feints had been made in such force as
to preserve the outward appearance of
a great offensive. No responsible gen
eraI would dare hurry his reserves to
meet one such attack, lest in so doing
he irretrievably weaken his line al the
point where the great drive was to take
place.
DO not assume that these tactics were
not perfectly known to the French. In
point Of fact, the general staff might
have written the plan themselves. for
they had profited quite much the
Germans by the lessons of the October
offensive. They viewed the hammering
at Verdun quite coolly and acted with
out haste. When it became certain
| that the long-expected great offensive
had finally been launched their re-
serves were brought up. In the mean
time the generals on the ground-at
the moment this liz written it is not
