French Front, Jan. 21.-General
Ludendolff. regarded by the Entente
lilies as the master mind of the
German army, pays an uninrentional
compliment to the accuracy Of the
French artillerymen in a memoran-
dunn issued to the troops on October
4, which has just been made avail
abe 10 the correspondent of the As
sociated Press.
In this document he admits chat
the French gunners, by their counter
battery fire, destroyed in one German
army alone in the course of q month
So German field suns and Y heavy
cannon, while they seriously dam
aged and put out Of action also 202
field guns and 2l3 heavy cannon, as
well as 81 field guns and 50 heavy
cannon slightly injured but capable
Of being repaired and used again in a
short time.
To these imposing figures Of ar
tillery losses caused by the French
gunners the same German army in
the same period of time had the NOR
tification Of adding an almost equal
ly large number Of losses brought
about by the wearing out or .burstin:
Of guns. In this way 73 field guns
and q heavy cannon were destroyed,
1G4 field guns and 129 heavy guns
seriously damaged, and 1T field guns
and 81 heavy guns slightly disabled
The memorandum was issued to the
German army by General Ludendofif
'lecausc his artillery officers had ar
gued repeatedly in favor Of making
counter-battely work secondary 10
attacks on infantry and communIca'
tions. They asserted tse French ar
tillery directed their guns more gen
eraliv against the German infantry
than against he artillery batteries.
The figures col,ated by the German
general demonstrate the falslty OF
this argument and show the French

used against the French infantry and
lines of communication and supply,
and that they do this successfully.
General Ludendorff, in concluding
his memorandum, points out that by
counter-battery work not only is the
enemy's artillery destroyed or put out
of action, but the opponent is forced
to considerable extent to turn his
attention away from the doings of
the enemy's infantry, which is thus
able to maneuver with greater e ase.
