The surprise is attained by in
stalling artillery secretly during
the night and beginning prepare
ton without warning. The over
whelming density of teh batteries
permit complete preparation and
destruction of the enemy trenches
within q few hours. Formerly
several days were necessary. dur
ing which the Germans rushed up
reserves.
AS result of these tactics, sim
gle raids last week yielded over
500 prisoners. Likewise, where
last winter the sole object of raids
was to capture prisoners for the
purpose of enabling the French to
obtain detailed information of the
Germans offensive plans, the
raids this year have another and
most important purpose.
The artillery preparation fol-
each raid completely destroys the
Germans first line position.
The difficulties for the Ger
mans eventual attack are thus in
creased, and their chances for
success decreased.
