METHODS EMPLOYED
 BY GERMANS IN
 REGENT OFFENSIVE

With American Army in France, July 12.-The simplifying of ord nance and uuburdening of shock troops seems to be two of the prin- cipal points upon which the German effort has concentrated in the past offensives. They have employed no new arms or munition, but have sought to increase the intensity of fire hy larger numbers of already @ isting arms and munitions. They consider that they have found the solution of this problem in the light machine gun, which can be carried and operated by one man.
 Each company, today organized into three sections, has six machine guns, two to each section.
 The light machine gun is said to embrace the mobility and the quail ties of the heavy Maxim machine gun. The tripod is substituted by a simpler and much lighter support.
 Situated as q rule at the wings of the section, enCircjltng the rifles, this arm has for it's purpose
 l. In an attack to force the enc my to dig in durng the advance of the infantry and to reduce Or neu- tralize the machine-gun nests or strong points of the enemy.
 2. On the defense, to guard the Hanks in the front line and break up counter attacks.
