Byna's Tank Shock Tactics.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2f.-Today's at
tack by the British third army north
of the Ancre Is for the immediate
purpose of driving the German front
back between Albert and Arras and
creating another dangerous salient
which will compel Won Hindenburg
to withdraw still farther eastward.
General Byng, who commands the
new offensive, is the creator Of the
tank shock tactics which have made
obsolete the long bombardments pre-
hminary to the infantry going over
the top.
General Byng brought the element
of surprise back into modern war
fare. This is the first opportunity he
had had to show his genius as an
offensive commander since he broke
the Hindenburg line at Cambria, at
the end of the British campaign
last autumn.
The sector along which General
Byng is attacking today is the near
est to the Htndenburg line of any
part of the west front. The distance
varies from two to twenty miles. The
most important intermediate points is
Bapaume, about eight miles east of
the British front and ten miles west
of the Hindenburg line. The principal
high road and railway running into
