Artillery Plan
Disappointing

But the results of the offensive with
artillery preparation have always been
disappointing, when the effort put
forth was considered. and there has
been a constant desire Of the strate-
gsts to devise a new offensive or to
improve the accepted one. This sur
Prise attack Of Haig's is a new often
sive II It is capable Of being regularly
repeated. II Sir Douglas Haig merely
took the Germans by surprise. how
ever. he has won q great victory, but
he hasn't contributed toward solv-
ing the great problems Of bringing
the offensive up to the defensive in
trench warfare.
The only element Of surprise mem
toned in the dispatches consisted in
attacking without artillery preparation.
That was a surprise in itself, for the
attack had settled down into a regular
system of which violent lombard
ment was the advertisement. The sur
prise in this instance probably did not
consist in attacking a ;hiaiy held line,
for a thinly held line il surprised
probably would be attacked in the or
thodox way.
One element contributing to the sue
cess seems 10 have been an unusually
large number of tanks, which per-
formed the usual work Of the artillery
in clearing the way for the infantry.
This factor suggests new kind OF
offensive.

Douglas Haig, commander of the Brit
ish troops in France, thrilled the Brit
ish nation to-day with news Of perhaps
the most striking victory yet achieved
on the Western front, and certainly,
owing to the novel phases OF the Brit
ish attack, a victory reviving hope at
a very gloomy period of the war.
"The Hindenburg Line Smashed" was
the giant caption in the evening pa
pers, and aptly focuses the point en-
gaging public interest and attention,
and, although there was no bell-ring-
ing or other marked sign Of public
jubilation. wherever men gathered to-
gether there was reclamation OF the
brilliant achievement of Field Marshal
Haig and General Byng and discussion
Of the surprising features Of the at
tack--frst, it's secrecy and surprise to
the enemy; recond, astonishment at
the number and the novel employment
of tanks; third, the absence OF artil-
lery preparation and the customary
barrage Are to assist he infantry ad-
vance, and, fourth, there were many
puesses why the tremendous German
offensive organizations In the attacked
area, in the words of one commentator,
melted away" before the British onset;
Everywhere the victory was heralded
as the forerunner Of still bigger things
and the question What nextT IS on
everybody's lips. General byng is the
hero of the hour-the honor OF plan
ming and carrying out the unique
stroke belongs TO him-and his picture
and a sketch Of his career appear in
all the papers.
The Hindenburg, or Siegfried, line,
which was thus preached, was believed
by the Germans 10 be strong enough
to hold back the world armies. Its
triple Gordon OF these separate trench
systems had central line with
great tunnel, with openings at IRE
quent intervals, making II unnecessary
for the troops TO move above ground
thus keeping the garrison safe under
the heaviest gunfIe. 1t is believed
that much Of this tunnel is now in the
pos.ession of the British.

through Couillet Wood. The quick TAX
ing of this wood indicates the German
troops had become disorganized, for

Haig continues, the British found their

ure of grip on the Canal du Nord
at the town of Masnieres and in the
capture Of Marcoing and Neuf Wood.

Congress to Debate
War With Austria
Declaration Against Ger
many's Allies Presents
Complications

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Whether
the United States shall declare war
against Germany's allies promises to
be a subject of considerable discussion
at the next session Of Congress, said
Senator Hitchcock, ranking Democratic
member of the Foreign Relations Com
mittcc. upon his return to-day to WASH
ington. In his opinion the question
presents many complications and is one
of extreme delicacy, as well as impor-
lance in immediate and future develop
ments of the war.
"a declaration of war against Aus
ia-Hungary," said Senator Hitchcock,
might be construed as Endorsement OF
Italy's demands upon Austria. These
include demand for territory which
virtually would deprive Austria OF
every seaport--a fruitful situation for
a future war. 1t is question whether
the United States would be willing TO
give such an Endorsement"
Senator Hitchcock said he expected
that the coming session of Congress
would be a long one, and that from OBJ
servations during the recess he believed
the public was giving whole-hearted
support TO the war.

ByC w. Gilbert

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Has Sir
Douglas Haig invented new offensive,
or is what has happened on the Cam
brai sector merely Surprise" attack,
as it is modestly called, which cannot
be repeated, now that the enemy has
been warned by this experience what to
expect in the future?
Army officers here, lacking further in
formation as to how the great success
against the Germans in the Cambria
sector was effected than was contained
in the official dispatches, withheld their
views, but there was n good deal or eI-
citement in Washington over the posi-
blity of a new form of offensive. II
had been known here for some time
that the British and French were study
ing the possibilities of surprise attacks,
especially attacks whose coming was
rot advertised by long artillery prep
arstior.
This is the first effort of the kind
which Washington knew was in prep
aration. It is believed that the British
and French have other forms of attack
without artillery preparation under con-
sideration.
The Germans. too, are evidently ex-
perimenting with new offensive, for
their attack upon the Italian front,
which suddenly threw Cadorna's line
back, is referred to as surprise" al
though the preparation OF an offensive
against Italy had been known for weeks.

Novel Plan
OF Offensive

The offensive as it has been worked
cut in modern trench warfare, unless
Haig has just invented new one, con-
sists of long period of tremendous
artillery fire whose purpose is to bat
ter down trenches and destroy the wire
entanglements and all the other OBJ
stacles to infantry attack that the en-
envy erects. Then, at a stated time, at
lacking troops leave the trenches and
advance under the protection of barrage
fire against the enemy, who has just
been subjected to terrific bombardment.
The artillery fire is so used as to
keep the enemy in their dug-outs until
the last possible moment, so that they
cannot use their machine guns against
the attacking army, machine guns
being the weapon most dreaded by
charging troops.
The offensive thus roughly described
has been slowly developed in modern
trench warfare. the Germans contribut-
ing one idea TO it and the French an
other. 1t probably reached its climax
of effectiveness in the region where
this surprise attack has just proved
successful, in the great Somme drive,
when the Germans were driven back
to the Hindenburg line, which has just
been penetrated. In that drive more
artillery power was concentrated than
in any previous effort, and the attack
went further without being stopped
than ever before.
As this particular offense developed
the defence against it also develoI ed,
but not so fast; so that it might fairly
be said that the offensive in modern
war was gradually making Roadway
against the defensive. which at the out
set was nearly impregnable.
