Splendid Strategy of
LudendorH Recognized

would have 6ehouched on the Roulers
plan-where the Germans could not dig
in because water lies within one to three
feet Of the surface Of the ground-and
the way would have been open to out
flank the coast positions German COM
manders were throwing away their men in
spending thrift fashion and the Crown
Prince and others were warning Lu1-
endroff of the peril of the thin front.
II was here that Ludendroff adopted
the tactics of defense which therea ftef
were the basis off all the German battles
of resistance to the end OF the war. Al
the allied troops that had experience with
them car testify to their effectiveness
German tactics up to this time had
been built on the idea of mass. 1t had
been the dictum Of Moltke and other great
commanders that the German soldier
lacked initiative and would fight only
in crowd The German generals in
this war had chung to this idea.
Now. Ludendorff decided to rely on the
individual He established small parties
in machine gun nests in the front lines to
hide during the bombardments and sweep
the attacking troops as they advanced.
He broke UP his counter-attacking forces
into small groups that did not furnish
such good targets for the British bar
rage He had wide forward zone
through which the attackers could ad-
vance if they chose. but they were sub
ject to much greaser losses than the
defenders.
The system worked The German SOL
diers proved they could fight Individually.
Haig failed to reach the coast and Lu-
dendorff was able to carry out his cam
paigns in Russia and Italy. How w~@s
il worked Ludendorff himself found our
July IS, 1918. for Gouraud used it on him
in the German attack in the Champagne
and inflicted terrific losses.

asking for further outside opinions.
and recommended the Fourth army to
form an advance zone. that isato say,
narrow strip between the enemys
front line and the line which our
troops were to hold by mobile defer
ence. The enemy would have to cross
this strip in making his attack. and
our artillery would have time to get
on to him before he could reach our
main line of resistance.
The great difficulty lay in withdraw
ing the garrison OF the advanced zone
in case Of attack. and in bringing the
artillery barrage back TO our own line.
The term advanced zone" has been
defined in various ways. and ideas
often became confused. The principle
of it was simple.
The Fourth army complied with my
suggestion somewhat reluctantly, and
did not accept it with conviction for
some time, l never ceased TO lay stress
on the principles of the employment of
artillery in masses. and the utmost
possible concentration of artillery fire
There were further severe engage
ments on October and 70. The line
held better than on the 4th. although
in some places the enemy penetrated
to a considerable distance The vast
age in the big actions of the fourth
battle OF Flanders was extraordinarily
great In the west we began to be
short of troops
The two divisions that had been held
IN readiness in the east, and were al
ready on the way to Italy, were di-
verted to Flanders. The attack on
Osel at any rate, had commenced. but
the italian operation could not be
started before the 22d and the weather
held it up until the gath These DAYS
were the eliminating point Of the
crisis.

General Charles Sweeney-the American

Major-General in the service of Poland
was talking OF Ludendroff recently
Everyone on the allied side knew he
was master Of tactics as well as STRAIT
egy,' he said. HE was held in the high
est respect in al headquarters. Every now
and then we would get some new instruc-
tons in tactics issued to the German
troops, and the hest were always the pro-
duct of Ludendorff himself"
These remarks have pointed bearing
on the chapter in which Ludendroff tells
how he changed the whole defensive sys-
tenn of the German army TO meet the drive.

He makes no secret OF the desperate
situation into which the army of Crown
Prince Rupprecht was put by the hsmm-

in June. had put them in possession of the
southern range of hills overlooking fpres.
In the drives that followed they tried to
take full possession of the Passchendalc

that Josiah Miggs had been Christmas
shopping. Oh, no. He was just on
his way from ,usiness
He, took another wistful peep at the
girl on the boarding opposite and re-
signed himself to seeing another load
ed car go by without stopping. The
fact of the matter was that JOS Miggs
was about the lonelest little old man
In little old Manhattan, and silly as
1t may sound, he had adopted girl
on hoarding-an advertising girl
as his friend. Every day as he went TO
and from the real estate office where
he worked he always glanced up at
the boarding as he passed, and the
girl always seemed TO smile back at
him in CHEEKY encouraging manner.
Tonight he did not feel that he could
think too much about the girl on the
boarding because, when one has only
a very lonely Christmas to look for
ward to, thinking about impossibilities
only makes matters worse. So Jos
bumped his shoulders to the cold wind
that was blowing and waited for an
other car
1t was sounding thwack that fell
on his shoulders as he stood there, and
JOS had TO gasp for breath before look
ing around to see what had hit him.
When he did, however, all he could
see was a round. grinning face ever
so high up looking down into his. He
stared at 1t in perpleyity moment,
then wheeling around exclaimed:
"Why, Toml'
The tall young man stood and
grinned while JOS looked him up and
down.

ment Uncle Jos didn't know whether
to jump up and follow Tom or to sit
| where he was.
| But Tom was gone, and there was
| nothing for him to do but to sit still.
What an awkward predicament to be
| in! To be left in a strange house
where nobody knew who he was. Sup
posing somebody were to come in
how was he to explain himself? He
was just wondering what on earth he
should say, when sure enough foot
steps sounded down the passage. They
approached the room.
Uncle Jos covered in his chair
What stupid Tom was to leave him
like that Suppose they took him for
a burglar or something Uncle Jos
dared not look up. The footsteps were
almost at the door. They ceased. Mr..
Miggs dared scarcely breathe. He
sat as If petrified. What would hap
pen?
A scream, perhaps, yell of fright
No, nothing happened. Perhaps it was
only Tom standing there, after all. AT
last the trembling little man screwed
up his courage and raised his eyes.
For moment he thought he must
have fallen asleep and dreamed of
the girl of the boarding.
She was actually there and smiling
down at him as usual. The same
bright face and curling hair, the mer-
ry eyes with the friendly CLINT in
them. Was this Toms girl? Why, he
seemed to have known her all his life.
He rose to his feet, a tentative smile
on his pale cheeks. He didn't know
what to say, but there was no need,
for the girl stepped forward.
"Uncle JOS, I'm sure" she smiled.
1--WE heard Tom speak of you. so
often"
He waited while she crossed the
room to him and took his hands in
hers. She stood before him, speaking
words of kindness and welcome
"We've been thinking of you and Won
dering how we could find you. Tom
said that you were all alone, and we
could not have enjoyed our Christmas
thinking that" She stopped and
kissed his cheek. Wonderingly Toms
uncle looked at her, tears of gladness
in his eyes.
No need for introductions, no need
for explanations; just friendlness and
hospitality. And when presently
EthePs mother came from the kitchen,
and Tom returned from his shopping.
it was just like family gathering.
OF course they made him stay to sup
per, and afterward to help hang tie
decorations, and when at last he said
good-by their voices followed him
down the street "a Merry Christmas,
Uncle Jos, and mind you come early
tomorrow"
