amples in German military history of
extraordinary casualties suffered with
out affecting the morale Of the troops.
The general then says these losses
often are far exceeded in the present
war, and that in the third Flanders
battle they have been so great as to
induce the military authorities to
abandon the usual rule of not referring
to them, feeling that the sacrifices of
Prince Rupprecht's troops have been
such as to entitle them TO extraordi-
nary thanks of the Fatherland.
General Ardenne pays grudging
and belated tribute to the achievements
of the British tanks. which, according
TO his verdict. though quick victims to
the German field artillery under good
visibility, are able to deliver most
effective enflading fire from their ma
chine guns whenever they are able TO
approach the infantry lines under cover

and are not TO be taken lightly.
