Surprise, Mass and Speed.

Reserves must be husbanded with
the most extreme parsimony so that
the bludgeon may be strong enough to
MAKE the blow as violent as possible.
Let loose at the finish, without any
lurking idea of saving them, with a
well thought out plan for winning the
battle at a point chosen and deter
mined, reserves are thrown in all to-
gether in an action surprising in vio-
lence and energy all other phases Of
battle, an action with proper charac-
eristics-surprise mass, and speed.
All our forces really participate, either
by preparing it or by carrying it out.
I'm this, our supreme aim. we must
not be deceived by appearances. Al
though theory fails when applied by
feeble hands and when accessories OBJ
scure the main principle, history and
reason show us that in battle there is
a single argument which is worth while
namely, decisive attack, which is
alone capable of assuring the desired
result-the overthrow of the adver-
sary."

All Depends on Reserve.

''But since there remains no doubt
hat decisive attack is the very key
stone of battle, all other actions
which make up a battle must be en-
visaged, considered, organized, pro-
yided with forces in the measure in
which they will prepare, facilitate, and
guarantee development of a decisive
attack characterized by it's mass, its
surprise, its speed, and for which, IN
consequence, it is essential that there
shall be the maximum reserve force
possible IF troops of maneu3er.
1.-The reserve-that is to say, the
prepared bludgeon--is organized and
kept carefully instructed to execute
the single act of battle from which re-
suits are expected-namely, the de-
ciSiye attack.

No Victory In Defense.

Our first axiom must be that to
achieve its object battle must not be
purely defensive. purely defensive
battle, even well conducted, does not
result in victor and vanquished. 1t
is simply game that must be begun
over again.
From this it is an obvious corollary
that an offensive, whether started at
the beginning of an action or whether
it follows the defensive, can only give
results, and, in consequence, must al
ways be adopted at the finish.
ITO maintain our position is not
synonymous with being victorious and
even prepares for a defeat If we re-
main where we are and do not pass to
the offensive to fix the direction of at
tack, to guard against the plans of the
enemy, and prevent him from carrying
out the same maneuver, we must un-
dertake to carry on and sustain numer-
Gus combats, each with determined
aim

MEAT DIET FOR U. S.
HOOVER ASKS PEOPLE TO EAT

Demand for Beef for Our Army and
Allies is Beyond Present Surplus
Pork as Substitute.

Was ington, June 13.-To meet the
needs of the American and allied
armies and the civilian populations of
France, Great Britain aud Italy, the
American people were asked by the
food administration to place them
selves on a limited beef allowance
from now until next September 10.
Househblders were requested not
under any circumstances" TO buy
more than one and one-quarter
pounds of clear beef weekly. or one
and one-half pounds. including the
bone. for each person in the house,
hold.
Hotels and restaurants were asked
not to serve boiled beef more than
two meals weekly, beefsteak mere
t. n one meal weekly and roast beef
more than one meal weekly.
THE demand for beef for our army,
the armies of the allies and their civil
liam populations for this summer"
said the food administrations an
nouncement, ''is beyond our present
surplus. On the other hand, we have
enough increased supply of pork this
summer to permit economical expan-
sion in its use. 1t, therefore. will be
a direct service TO our armies and
the allies If our people will in some
degree substitute fresh pork, bacon,
ham and sausage for beef products. y

Cherchtz La Femme!

CAMP GORDON, GA, Nov. 10
A fight between two soldiers
New York boys, in Company E,
Third Replacement Regiment, to
decide which should have the
privilege of writing to a girl that
neither of them ever saw, was
one Of the novelties on camp last
week.
During the quarantine, the Y.
M. c. A. and Y. W. C. A. had
arranged to have young women
in Atlana send little presents to
some of the soldiers confined to
barracks. A spirited argument
sprang up between the two men
concerned as to which should
write and thank the donor for a
beautiful package they received.
AS words could not settle the
question, the boys agreed to don
the boxing gloves and fight it out
for the honor. The bout took
place as a feature during one of
the regular outdoor boxing enter
tainments and resulted in a draw,
and both wrote, enclosing their
letters in the same envelope.

who have voluntarily placed

The Defense Council is author
