LORD NORTHCLIFFE

parently less excited discussion Of the par
ticular battle than you may witness at home
between any two persons talking of it in the
club or railway train. There is no lack OF in
formation, because the staff at headquarters
is linked up by long distance and other tele
phones with the soldier in the field. There
is generally distributed each day little bulle
tin giving the soldier some idea of what is
going on. Otherwise existing as he does IN
line that is hundreds of miles in length, he
would have the vaguest notion of what IS TAX
ing place. Indeed, it is the newspaper that has
come from London or from Paris which is his
chief source of information, for in those great
centres ali the news of the war is collected,
explained by maps and put forth in a way that
makes it extremely easy for the soldier on the
spot to understand. | followed the battle of
Verdun from large staff map, but also from
maps cut from London newspapers, which |
found TO be wonderfully accurate.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-06-11
AMONG THOSE PRESENT is THE COM
HANDING GENERAL, BUT NOT
IN THE NAPOLEONIC SENSE.

Modern armies, which are really nations at
war. are so huge that it is impossible for the
heads of them to be personally known to all
their troops. 1t is said that the presence of
Napoleon on a field of battle was worth one
hundred thousand men. have no doubt the
remark would apply to-day. But it would be
very difficult to convey to the army the fact
that the general was among them. He cannot
show himself in this molelike form of warfare.
In my own particular case the sentry allowed
us to pass with comparative speed. He went
TO his superior officer, who telephoned to the
headquarters of the general who controlled
that part of the line, and the general tele-
phoned back permission, which was duly writ
ten down. signed by an officer, and handed
to us.
But long before reaching this spot, twenty
five miles from the battle, it had been obvious
that we were approaching some great event.
Whole villages were filled with soldiers rest
ing or waiting to be called into the line. There
were great fields full of artillery, parks" as
they are called, and vast plains covered with
wagons at close intervals. AS for wheeled
vehicles, whenever | see one now think OF the
war. Soldiers mostly travel by motor omni-
buses of all kinds from their rest places to
where they walk into the firing line, but there
are in France hundreds Of thousands, dare
saw millions of horse vehicles of all sizes and
sbones. Both England and France have re-
sponded wonderfully to the call for transports
In August, 1914, we at once requisitioned
tradesmens delivery vans. 1t was amusing at
that time at the British front to see motors
belonging to we'll known English Scotch and
Irish breweries going on their way to the
front laden with soldiers or shells, and also TO
see pleasure motor char-a-bancs with the
names of Margate Blackpool and Scarborough
emblazoned thereon. These, however, have
mostly been either superseded or painted the
dull military gray and khaki which one asso-
ciates with this grim, grim war
