tcosnght. 1913. BY the Mcclure Newspaper
London. July 25.-More and more
rapid deterioration OF the lighting
rapid determination of the fighting
qualitieS OF the German army can be
expected as a result of the working
out OF the storm troop" theory in
practice. Not only are allied military
authorities agreed on this point. but
German officers captured admit II
themselves. and say the policy Of
forming picked detachments of men
was embarked on by Ludendorff with
the greatest reluctance and only be-
cause 1t became absolutely necessary.
The theory OF the German military
machine has always been that soldiers
should be considered as units OF equal
value. Officers and priyates alike, in
peace and early in the war, were
trained on the principle that they
were fit for any task. Part of the
great strength of the Boche armies
lay in this uniformity Of training.
tradition and military knowledge. The
Prussian Guard Corps was an excep-
tion to this rule. but It existed for
traditional and dynastic reasons, to
fiatter the pride of the Hohenzollerns.
and was regarded as an anachronism
by the German staff.

given better rations and more leave
than their comrades. and told that
on their shoulders would fall the
most dangerous tasks. but none of
the monotonous drudgery Of war.
These storm-troops were tried out
on a small scale last summer and
autumn. but their real test came IN
the great shock action Of March q.
this year. and to them was due the
success OF the break-through against
the British Fifth Army. Again in
Flanders and on the Aisne in April
and May these crack troops formed
the spear-head OF the German at
