" organized trenches has ever been
made, except after the guns have
>blasted way through for the infan-
try. The use of the tanks to clear
away barbed wire entanglements
and other strong points. also was.a
new procedure. The success of the.
movement probably depends wholly
upon the eNnplete surprise which
was possibly only by moving forward
without the usual artillery fire.
Officers here have discussed fire.
Quently the possibility of restoring
the, element Of surprise attack in
trench operations. Some have held
that without destruction of the barb
ed wire entanglements with high ex-
plosive shells. the infantry would be
halted on its first rush. The use of
the tanks solved this problem for
the British.
There was much speculation as to
the immediate motive for the at
tack, officers we're in agreement
that 1t was designated to relieve
pressure on the italian front and
probably also to prevent the carry
ing out of any plans the Germans
might have had for an attack on the
Saloniki front.
Some officers here were hopeful
that the drive would have the imme-
diate effect OF compelling the Ger
man high command to abandon the
Italian campaign, or so reducing its
forces there that the combined ltal-
Ian. British and French armies could
drive the Teutons back into the
mountains.
