GREAT CHANGES MADE IN ARMIES
SINCE EUROPEAN WAR WAS BEGUN

them out Of the limelight for long
period and the best Of the cavalry
generals have resigned their com
mands In despair and are now COM
handing infantry divisions and
corps.
Field artillery, that is to say. the
famous French 75's. the German
IT'S and the British 18-pounders
have had 20 be reinforced by a new
giant artillery. which alone can
smash the fortified positions. Never
theless. the lighter pieces make the
most formidable rapid barrage fire
during an attack and if the armies
leave their trenches and light guns
are essential in great numbers to ac-
company the rapid moving in fantry.
II is in the infantry itself that you
see the greatest changes. The aver
age persons idea of an infantry
battalion is that OF a thousand men
armed with rifles and bayOnets who
have little to do on their own re-
sponsibility except 10 obey orders Of
their officers and carry a CHASTITY
weight long distances On their backs
to be prepared TO face every form
OF unpleas antness and 70 lose their
lives cheerfully in charging trenches
and barbed wire whenever their gen.
eral considers the moment" has ar
rived TO capture and hold an en-
emy's position This is what an in
fantry battalion was before the war
but II bears no resemblance TO a
true picture these days.
Every infantryman is now a high
~ trained specialist who has a par
ticular Job TO perform in attack and
defense and who requires at least a
years hard training 70 perfect him
in the use Of the particular arm for
which he has shown an especial
adapta bili:y.
And the irony Of modern war is
this After YOU have selected your
man and spent "a years energy in
perfecting his physical, moral and
technical education, a very high per
centage are killed or wounded be-
fore they are able 10 turn their
skill and science to account.
German Methods Adopted by Allies.
At the end of 1915 all the great
continental armies began TO feel the
shortage Of men except the British
who had hardly yet touched their
reserves of man power. 1t became
obvious that the tactics which in
volved throwing masses of men in
close formation against fortified
POSITIONS must be abandoned. other
wise it would soon be impossible TO
hold the extended fronts. Therefore
from the end of 1915 the new infan-
try tactics may be said to have been
introduced into all the continental
armies.
The allies have gained enormous

Famous English War Correspondent
Those who knew the great CONT

ence has shown that almost all our
preconceived ideas were wrong. All
armies have worked necessarily 70

The fate Of Roumania should be
a warning to all untried armies and
inexperienced chiefs. Roumania
should have played a decisive role
in the near east. The entire course
Of the war might have been drama

been directed into sound strategic
channels and had her chiefs studied
carefully the lessons of the last
three years.

past.
How far has the United States
army kept pace with the changes in
weapons and tactics? 1T would be

out hidden nests of enemy machine
guns. 1t is extremely accurate up
TO zoo yards, and can fire 20 shorts
a minute.
A French battalion advances to
the attack in extremely open forma-
ton in successive waves. The for
nation naturally depends on the
ground, but usually the bomb throw
ers and the men carrying the auto
matte rifles march in the first wave.
Behind them come more bomb
throwers and the men armed with
the machine grenades or rifie-firing
bombs. This ingenious weapon con-
sists of kind of iron cup fitted on
TO the end of an ordinary rife. The
grenade is placed i'm this and the
rifle fred in the ordinary manner.
The gases of the discharge hurl
the bomb $50 yards, while the bullet.
passing through the center of the
grenade, releases the spring which
causes il to explode.
The men who are armed with
rifles march behind and are sent
forward as gaps occur in the first
waves. Thus, if a bomb thrower
falls, an expert in this line is sent
forward to take his place.
If a man carrying an automatic
rifle falls, another trained in the
use Of this weapon is always at
hand, and sc the machinery Of war
is always manned.
Special Grcnades TO Clear Dug-outs.
There are special men who carry

wise harmless. No one can endure
it. The enemy is thus forced into the
open, where he must fight, surren-
der or die.
The tactics OF a battalion i'm de-
Tense have changed as drastically as
in attack. If the enemy now as
saults a French position this is what
he must pass through. The curtain

the range becomes shorter he meets
rifle fire and the machine guns. each
firing 500 shots a minute Then at
! so yards from the trench he is met
| by second barrage fire of bombs
from the rifle grenades. If there be
l any survivors they are met at 40
yards by bombs thrown by hand. by
close rifle fire and machine guns
that spray bullets as a hose sprays
water. IL any reach their objective
they face bayonets. The whole at
tack is under a dense white smoke
Of hundreds OF exploding bombs.
1t will be seen how carefully
trained and organized an infantry
must be. Each man has his speci-
fed job and his particular weapon
in the use of which he has been
found TO display a special aptitude.
Each man has a responsibility which
never fell 10 the share of the in
dividual infantryman in the old
fashioned attack. This gives the
men an interest in their work and
allows them that initiative and in
telligence for which the individual
French soldier is so justly renowned.
