formation of German Battle Front
Tor the purpose Of producing an abso-
iltcly irresistible shock that would car.
ry them through the enemy's lines and
permit them to engage in q lg open,
decisive battle in the rear, the Germans
employed density of troops, not only
racing the enemy, but extending to a
degree of depth rearwards never before
attained. Of the fifty divisions engaged
each attacked on q front of one mile
usually with three regiments of men
massed elbow to elbow, although in
some cases only two regiments were in
the front line, with one regiment in
the rear. Each division was sustained
by its own artillery, consisting of 10
batteries of field guns and six batter,
les of heavy artillery Of 2lO-millimeter
ealibre, Each regiment usually fought
with its three battalions placed one be-
hind the other. Each battalion had like
wise a massive depth formation, the
INST wave consisting of two compan-
''s with six light maehineguns; the see
ond wave at 100 yards behind being
supported by heavy machine guns; while
the third wave at 200 to 300 yards in
tue rear was supported by mounted
trench mortars. The mounted trench
mortars were apparently designed for
Fighting the tanks by shooting torpe-

place, our losses have been heavier. ~
From prisoners and other sources it has
been established, as examples of the
German losses, that by March 2S the
electives of the First division of the
f1LsSian Guard had been reduced to an
average of 40 men per company. The
cd division at that date had lost 500

lost 40 per cent of its effectives, and
the 9th division so per cent. The 1st

officers. The I'd battalion Of the aS4th
division was completely annihilated at

Every indication at the present

cess on their new offensive tactic,
which had been tried out on the Seretl
in July, 1917, and again, even more
successfully by General Hutier at kls.
between August 81 and Sept. 9, 1917
These tactics, to insure surprise, were
proceeded by only a very short but q
very intense artillery preparation. The
assaulting troops after capturing the
first positions, were then to engage in
open warfare, using machine gun bar.
RACES in place of heavy artillery fire
In order to keep the attack going, re-
gardless of losses, each division was
withdrawn after several days and sub
stituted by fresh division, while the
s'lst one was having two or three days
rest and reorganization before being
re-cngaged, The tactics also included
intensive rehearsal in advance Of both
the troops and officers to be engaged !;
complete concealment of the projects
and preparations; absolute secrecy as to
plans and the transportation and con-
centration of troops; brutality to the
extreme degree in offensive methods;
extensive use of poison gas for the pur
pose of demoralizing the enemy; and
the exploitation without an instant S
delay, regardless of cost, of the initial
success. The battle was rehearsed in all
of its details behind the French front
before being finally started.
Plans And Concentration.
General Won Hutier, conqueror of Riga
was counted upon to execute very much
the same maneuver ON the western
front that he had on the eastern. He
was to cross the Disc in the same man.

example, by four night marches arriy

Twenty seventh division, which was
disembarked in the vicinity Of Cambrai,
is known to have marched 30 kilomater
(90 miles) during the night of March

Artillery Preparation.
SO great was the Importance which
the Germans attached to the secret ar
rival Of their troops on the battle line,
that the artillery preparation which last
ed for few hours, was begun at 4:30I
O. clock on the morning of March 81,
while the troops that were to be engag
ed in the attack were still on the march
towards the front. Following an ex.
tremely intense and violent artillery
including barrages in which
a large proportion of gas shells was
used, dense concentrated fires on the
enemy's battery zone, and heavy fire
on all the routes leading up to the
English front and the zones in the rear,
the first progression of infantry was
made at 9;45 on the morning Of March

trenches in several successive waves,

fer to the fact that my opponent, San

knowing all about the Graham irregu-

the people into his confidence by ex-
posing this seandalous state matter, in
accordance with his solemn oath as a
