cred Useless by Authorities.

With the French Armies.-The alarm
with which the Germans view the In
creasing use of tanks and "chariOts
of assault" by the allied armies in
their attacks is indicated by the fol
lowing rules, which are taken from a
general order, dated November u,
1917, captured from the group Of ar
mics of Caudry:
Obstacles-TrencheS of q minimum
width Of from 13 to 1914 feet and q
depth Of at least ten feet, also very
thick mud, constitute very serious OBJ
stacles against tanks. Freshly plowed
land or barricades are easily crossed.
1T Is not worth while constructing
obstacles it is preferable to attack.
Guns Are Essential.
Methods of attack-Artillery Tanks
on the march should be attacked by
the artillery before their entry into ac-
ton, even If there is not great chance
of hitting them. The essential thing is
to forbid the enemy infantry to follow
them; it is necessary that the enemy
fear the zone over which
the tanks are advancing.
ITO attack the tanks themselves, the
only reasonable method is to place the
cannon in the advanced zone Of the
battlefield, so that they may be able
Immediately to put the tanks out OF
