OLD METHODS THROWN

New Developments Compel
Revolutionary Changes in
Art of War.

Correspondence of The Associated Prcss)
FRENCH FRONT, Dec 25.-The
result of 45 years infantry training
has been thrown on to the scrap heap
by the French army.
At the beginning of the war the
French infantry, like that OF all con-
tinental nations, marched shoulder To
shoulder to the attack. Soon, how
ever. the power of the very numerous
machine guns with which the German
troops were provided ed-outnumbering
at least four times those of other
armies brought about the adoption
of more open formations and recalled
the lessons Of the South African war
which had been neglected.
After the battle Of the Marine, when
the Germans dug themselves into deep
trenches in the hope Of establishing a
Jumping off place for "A future advance
on Paris, the French found it impos-
siblc to carry out successfully any in
fantry attack i'm the formations until
then in use without using number of
men disproportionate to the advantage
gained. They increased the number
of machine guns, but those of the Ger
mans were placed In positions which
enabled them TO sweep away any
frontal attack. even before ii had been
properly developed,
At the present no infantry officer Of
the old school would recognize an in
fantry unit going into action, so much
has everything been changed.
Each Battalion Complete Army.
The Associated Pre- correspondent
was present recently at a demonstra'
tion of the new infanty attack forma-
tion at a school. Instead of as former
" a battalion Of infantry being com
posed of so many hundreds Of men
armed merely with rifles and bayonets
and entrenching tools and dependent
on artillery to clear the way for it
during an advance, the battalion is
now a little army perfectly equipped
for offense and defense and able at all
times To take care of itself without
any assistance except in the case OF an
attack on a fortress or strongly for
titled field work.
Not only the battalion, but each
company, Is able to act Independently,
and the various smaller units are so
composed that when acting together
they form n complete whole without
any confusion.
Hand grenadiers rifle grenadiers,
marksmen with automatic rifles, bonn
hardiers with bombs and ordinary in
fantrymen with rifle and bayonct com
pose each unit, the specialists have
companions i'm action to carry their
ammunition and able to replace them
I'm case they sustain casualty while
every man in the section, even the
simple rifleman, is trained to do one
of the special tasks.

Happy to Act Small Part
in Bringing About Peace.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2i.-Switzer-
land In note to all Of the warning
powers has announced its support of
President Wilson's appeal for a dis
cussion OF peace terms. saying 1t
would consider itself happy If 1t
could act in any. no matter how mod
est n way for the approachment Of
the peoples now engaged in the strug-
gle. and for lasting peace
The note was dispatched To the bel
ligerents yesterday by the Swiss fed
cral council. and DR.. Paul Ritter min
lister of Switzerland here. presented II
copy to the White House. Secretary
Lansing made 1t public tonight. The
translated text follows:
l. In Close Touch.
The president of the United States
of America. with whom the Swiss fed
cral council. guided by its warm de-
sire that the hostlitles may soon come
TO an end. has for a considerable time
been in touch had the kindness to
apprise the federal council of the
peace note sent to the governments
of the central and entente powers.
In this note President Wilson dis
cusses the great dcsirability of inter-
n3t.onal agreements for the purpose
of avoiding more effectively and per-
manently the occurrence OF catastro-
phes such as the one under which the
peoples are suffering today. In this
connection he lays particular stress on
the necessity for bringing about the
end OF the present war. Without
making peace proposals himself or
offering mediation, he confines him
self to sounding as to whether man
kind may hope to have approached
the haven of peace.

Unlike many others, I found a
thorough treatment was necessary in
my case. and In recommending Tanlac

silly OF giving Tanlac n thorough trial.

rids the system Of poisons and the
cause OF the trouble, whatever II is,
there necessarily has got to be a period
OF recuperation when you are getting
back on your feet. Tanlac Is n won
derful medicine. and not only does the
work, but builds one up and acts as a
tonic, too. 1t will do all claimed for
trial in case you are troubled with
kidney trouble or indigestion such as

Of tho power-house of tho American

Mr.. Wooten's recommendation that
Tanlac he given n thorough trial is an
excellent ono. as ii is to be feared
many do not give Tanlac tho same con-
s~idcration and conscientious chance a
treatment in hospital or under the doc
tors care would be afforded. In CON
Guiding, 1t must be remembered That
Tanlac does not cure by magic. Tan
lac systematically aids nature to ex-
pell from tho system tho cause. and
then assists nature back to normal

the health good. Get a bottle to-day

NOW LAST
SUNDAYS PAPER
Two of the Best Articles on Stomnch
and Kidney Trouble Published
In Long Time.

In last Sundays Times-Dispatch were
two articles on mi and kidney
trouble worth buying n paper Just to
read. They appeared on page ). and
any one so troubled ought TO 20 back
and read them carefully. In the short
space given to this thought little can
be said. but permit the writer to make
the following suggestions. a stitch in
time saves nine.
Don't overburden your stomach with
rich. indiEestible foods. heavy meats. If
Kidneys bother. and don't wait until
November LIST to swear off. but, instead.
use a little discretion. Take a little
exercise every morning just like the
old folks did In the long ago, when
troubles like yours were seldom known.
Instead OF getting up with the sun to
do chores. saw wood, ride horse back
or walk to work, get a book on home
exercises and follow the rules. Dop't
try to live on Tanlac after It has given
your system another chance. That is
all it's good for. Let II help you then
by proper living. Let nature hereafter
take care of herself with a little care
on your part. An ounce of prevention
is worth n pound OF cure. Tanlac costs
so little. and by not interfering with
your work isn't half bad to take, but
don't lie. tho ease of getting we'll keep
you from keeping we'll by a little care
once you get another chance. BY way
OF warning. buy Tanlac only OF author
