ment adds:
The transport of their belongings even
delayed the transport of important wal
material. For this reason it was impos-
sible in many cases TO remove felled fruit

The trees were cut down in order that
their leaves in spring and summer might
not afford cover to marching columns

The male and female population be-
tween the ages. of fifteen and sixty were
deported. Mothers with children under
fifteen remained with their children. The

Germans Endeavoring
to Maintain Strength
and Destroy the Enemy

By the Associated Press.
AMSTERDAM, April "a. via London.
Maj Moraht, writing in the Tages
Zeitung. says that the results OF the
French offensive are hitherto COM
pletely unir1portant. Maj. Moraht
writes.
The possession Of single portions of
terrain. such as trenches. villages and
borders of woods no longer plays a
decisive role in deeply echeloned and
fortified zones. The aim Of the Ger
man defense is, even at the cost OF
abandoning the dead, together with
war materials and portions of posi-
TONS to maintain our own strength
while destroying that of the enemy
and preventing him from attaining his
strateGical aim. which is to break
through For this purpose il is neces-
sary to keep the fight line mobile
The writer considers that by yield
ing at some points the, Germans may
force their opponents TO fight without
the support of their heavy artillery and
consequently expose them to destruc-
ton by the German infantry and ar
tillery fire. These tactics, he claims,
give repeated opportunities for German
counter attacks with German reserves
who are outside the range of the en-
envy fire, He continues:
Tactical success in modern battles
is not judged by the gain of single
portions of terrain or the amount of
booty. but depends on the complete
physical and moral disorganization of
the enemy owing to their loss of
strength through the destructive effect
of artillery fire. This aim has hitherto
been fully attained by the Germans in
the gigantic struggle on the western
front
The first and greatest attacks of
the English and French failed. being

In the region of st. Quentin and the
Disc our artillery directed an effective
counter-fire at German batteries. Our
patrols were very active, bringing back
prisoners. Two German accommodating
parties. which attempted to approach
our lines near yancourt. were repulsed
with heavy losses.
Violent artillery fighting occurred in
the region of Hurtehise, in the Foulon

American Army Officers May
Be Sent to Front in France
to Inspect Trench Warfare

American army officers may be sent
to France to gain, under fire, drst-hand
knowledge Of the trench warfare. in
progress along the western front. The
subject was touched upon informally,
1t is known, when Gen. Bridges, head
high commission. called on Secretary
Baker yesterday and spent half an
hour in conversation with the Secretary
and officials Of the general staff.
1t was suggested today that officers.
who are to command regiments in the
armies soon to be raised, might profit
greatly by close association on the
battle lines for a short period with the
commanders of British and French
regiments. All the business Of modern
munition and other supplies forward
and the wounded back, of moving up
artillery; of massing artillery fire to
pave the way for an assault-would be
carried on under the eyes of the men
who would have the instruction of
more than fifty regimental officers each
to watch over on their return The
Americans probably would live at the
regimental headquarters of the forces
to which they were assigned.
Plans Not Yet Shaped.
There was nothing to indicate today
that any definite plan had been shaped
United States, expected here to join
Cen Bridges in conferences with
American officials, it seemed likely that
action would await discussion with the
noted French commander.
When Portugal entered the war Of
hcers Of the Portuguese army were
sent to France in the way suggested
They are said to have received much
valuable experience in this way, which
later aided them in training their own
forces.
Many oflcers Of the general staff
approve the suggestion that American
officers now take advantage Of the op-
portunity presented to study conditions
at the French front It was pointed
out that officers who had had such ex-
perience would be able to give added
| interest to the instruction Of their own
subordinates when they returned. and
to concentrate the training of their
regiments on things which seemed to
them of greatest importance.
