BY GENERAL r. FOCH,
Commander in Chief of the Allied
Forces,

TIME modern battle differs greatly
from that of ancient times, for
the following reasons:
l. The weapons have greater
range; they are more murderous'
which makes 1t necessary TO ar
range for attack at greater dis
lance and under better cover. How
ever, in the sction itself arrange
ments ought to be made, more than
ever before, to utilize the power OF
the weapons to their full extent.
2. The armies may be wei
manoeuvred. and with care can be
SHARED. The ARRANGEMENTS OF the
adversary are more difficult to learn
and recommending should take place
at the last possible moment, 1t be-
ing SO difficult to keep the enemy
where you want him.
3. The effective troops are In an
unknown proportion.
As a consequence 1t requires long
time to gather the troops for de-
cisive attack. once YOU have as
semblcd these troops. they may as
rule be used approximately upon that
ground alone because Of lack of time
10 take them elsewhere. Hence 1t Is
necessary to determine very early the
line OF attack, knowing the precise
alignment OF the enemy forces.
The part played by PREPARATION
looms ever larger, consisting In:
TRAINING BETTER.
RESISTING LONGER.
FIRMNESS GREATER.
Moreover the conduct of the at
tack, once the direction has been de-
termined will require more COM
pact ia .ical formation, looking to the
complete utilization of perfected
material weapons, the guns and can
non making up the force.
After all that has been said about
the philosophy of the battle, and the
various arguments presented. 1t Is
true at bottom that the chief concern
is with the man who takes part. AS
n consequence the various acts Of the
battle are ever the same:

l. In guarding himself against
the enemy. and to that end meet

able to resist while the prepara-
ton is going on.
e. To organize the decisive ac-
ton while still holding reserve
for any unforeseen activity or to
break in at the right moment,
either to parry or counter attack.
This assignment of forces rests
upon the economy of men: For prep

for execution. the greatest possible
force; for achievement, all that can
be utilized without fixing any rigid
rules or mathematical proportions for
this distribution OF the whole, notably
as to the last moment reserve, the
force Of which will depend upon our
knowledge concerning the enemy at
that moment, the circumstances and
temperament of the commander.
To see the tactics required for the
preparation and execution of decisive
attack, let US take up the matter in
detail.
Preparation.
Preparation includes everything
which can aid in the directing and as
surfing of the execution of the de-
cisive act or execution. which is the
basis OF the battle. We aim at the
most direct activity, manpuvring so
as to avoid the blows of the enemy.
First. the commander must know all
possible facts. so that he may direct
the action OF the battle wisely. The
objective must be determined, we must
know the roads and the position OF
the enemy. This information is be-
ing gathered constantly up to the very
moment of the action as well as dur
ing the fighting. The advance guard
intervenes to hold the enemy or at
least to detain him.
| The preparation should dissimulatc
| the direction and moment of the at
tack, covering the organization OF the
army. whence arises ANEW need for
the protection and covering of the at
tack. At the same time the enemy
should be held to his original position,
being prevented so far as possible
| from maneuvring, so that he may not
| assemble any overpowering force.
| To fill its double part. the prepare
tion should attack the enemy wher-

of preparation seem to be already

about independently OF each other. but
which all have the object of conquer

ARTILLERY-The artillery Is nat

prove necessary to seize upon the
enemy. 1t must, OF course, help the
advance guard in the "Reminiscences,
