british. The second operation took
place on independence Day and was
IN the main carried through by Aus
trallan troops, although detach-
ments of American infantry were
used in support. Its object was to
make tirmer still the hold upon the
plateau of Villers- Bretonneux, which
overlooks the Somme and which is
the last high ground before the
gradual fall to Amiens. This pla-
teau has been as to it's western part
IN the hands of the Allies for MANY
weeks, but its flank below on the
Somme Valley, around the village Of
Hamel, was weak. The action of
July a secured Hamel and confirmed
the grip of the Allies upon the pla-
teau above.
American Gunnery
A Potent Factor
The attack on Vaux was on
larger scale, and especially interest
ing as being entirely conducted bv
American troops. 1t took place on
July l, and resulted in the capture
OF many hundreds of prisoners and
was remarkable for the ease with
which the German counter attack
the following day was broken up.
The village of Vaux, which was
the scene of this operation, lies on
the high road from Chateau Thierry
to Paris, about three miles west Of
the former town. Its name means
1.-The dale" and the village stands
at the point where the national road
dips into the hollow under the great
rounded hill dominating Chateau
Thlerry and the Marine and known
to the soldiers from its height in
metres as Hill 2O4.
If we put together various ac.
counts received we find the most
striking feature of this exceedingly
successful piece of work the artil-
lery preparation, the accuracy and
volume of which astonished even the
men who have been following the
development of artillery work from
the beginning of the war. 1t con-
frms what l was told in France
when visited American headouar-
tiers recently, that the facility and
rapldity of the new artillery tactics
acquired by the American troons
were of particular moment.
Another feature in the affair was
the strikingly short time in which
everything was accomplished. The
infantry advance appears to havs
achieved its objective in only fortv
minutes.

High Development of
Transport Explains 1t
Artillery Accuracy and Speed
of Infantry Shows Troops
Are Without Peer
By Hilaire Belloc

Copyright. 1915 by Tho Tribune Associsticn)
TIME memorandum issued by
the government of the
United States upon the in
itiative of Secretary of War Baker
on the eve Of independence Day is
one of the most remarkable mill
tary documents to be found in the
history of the world. Some of the
points in which it is astonishing are
obvious and were everywhere re-
marked. Others seem to have been
overlo oked, and it is to these that
| would call the attention of my
readers this week.
The magnitude of the effort &C.
ccmplished by America struck every
one. Over 100000 men trans
ported across 5000 miles of sea in
twelve months! Every one noted
the remarkable success Of the Amer
lean navy in it's immense task of
convoy.
I need not delay my readers on
these things, because they are mat
tiers of common knowledge, but I
would like to recall to them the
confident prophecies Of the enemy
that the maritime communications
would prove the breakdown Of the
whole Allied scheme of war once
the United States became great
factor in that scheme. The Amcri-
can system Of convoy has entirely
upset the enemy's calculation here
and has gratefully disappointed
those--I confess to error myself
who thought the peril lay there.
The Factor Of
Elasticity in War
The mere numbers, then, and the
security of their transport overseas
are the obvious points in the matter,
and they are exceedingly remark
able ones. What seems to me to
have been less noticed and to be, if
anything, more remarkable is what
we may call the factor of elasticity.
In all military calculations this
factor is of supreme Importance, and
the degree of it's Importance is one
Of the first things that one has to
estimate in judging the military
situation.
1t is the best possible augury for
the Allies that this factor of elastici-
ty should have appeared in so high
q degree in the American effort.
The word almost explains itself,
but brief definition may be USE
full. We mean by the factor of
elasticity in military situation the
power, both moral and material, Of
changing over from one set Of plans
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-07-14

to another set. The moral power
lies in shifting the point of view, in
making rapid decisions, in thinking
out quickly new problems that will
be presented, etc.
The material power lies in the
handling of transport in new way
and with different object; of re-
routing or "recanalizing" the supply
and in handling all the rest of the
material of war Ultimately, Of
course, the whole thing is moral
rather than material, but there is
IN any particular case both the
moral and material side.
For instance, when the great
General Carnot, founder of all the
revolutionary and Napoleonic sys-
tenn of war, bodily shifted his re-
serves from his left to his right dur
ing the night of the second day at
Wattignies in 1898, and therefore
as much as any one man decided the
history of the world, it was a mag
r,ticent example of elasticity. The
whole battle had been envisaged
from the point of view of the
centre and left because the French
generals had at the opening accept
ed the enemy's plan of battle. Gen.
eral Carnot, somewhat like General
Foch on the Marne, determined to
snatch victory by changing the CEN
ire of gravity suddenly 1t meant
a vast number of new orders, even
on the comparatively small scale of
fighting inherent to the size of the
armies engaged; it meant vast
amount of cancellation of plans, Of
rapid study Of new ground and all
the rest of preparation for new bat
tie. The great success that followed
was proof of the value of the factor
of elasticity in war

March Average
Multiplied by Three

Now, if you will look at the stats
tics published by Secretary Baker
you will see how this factor of elias
ITCHY appeared on the American side
of the alliance and why those to
whom it promised victory are so i'm
mensely gratified by it. From last
September to the end of last Feb.
luary the sending over of American
troops to Europe proceeded along
what we may call a normal curve.
The curve was not rising very steep
ly. If you give to the coordinate
OF time such space for one month
as you give to the coordinate Of
numbers for $4,000 men the curve
rose, as far as / can make out, at
an angle of about ten degrees And
it did not do this without huctua-
lions. For instance, between the
$4,000 sent in October and the
$4,000 in December there was a
slump of $4,000 in November, and
allowing for the different number
CT days in the different months, the
December rate was virtually main
tanned until close to the end of
March.
The great German offensive, with
its very considerable success, came
on March 81, and almost imme-
diately the whole curve changed in
character. March itself, of course,
only saw the kind Of shipment be-
ginning at its close, because the
German offensive concerned only
the last third of the month; never
theless, March saw nearly $4,000
men embark before Easter day, the
moment which correspondent with a
check to the Germans in front Of
Amiens.
Then comes the really startling
of the whole affair, COW
ering April, May and June-April
giving $4,000 men, May 224,0OO
and June 276,0OO. In other words,
after the German offensive had
started and showed the extreme
peril to the Allies by the extraordi-
narily rapid transportation plan of
the Americans we had the winter
rate Of delivery multiplied by six.
Another way of putting it is that
the end of March more than doubled
the beginning of March and that
June multiplied the March average
much more than three.
