Viewing athletics at B. c. T. S.

cause it was our first year, but no
one criticized us, realizing that no
build a team in one year, however,
we can boast of the fact that we
have the most promising team in

Offense
Proves
Best
BY ]. w. T. MASON
United Press War Expert


Capture of Paris Friday by the
Germans. five weeks after the start
of the great blitzkrieg advance into
Holland and Belgium, marks one OF
the most stupendous military &C.
complishments of modern history.
The German success Is due to two
primary reasons, military leader
ship of high order and great adj
vance in offensive tactics over the
defensive in open field combat, as
compared with the last war.
The fact that the Germans out
numbered the Allies must be con-
Sidered no more than a secondary
reason for Hitler's success. The Ger
mans have been fighting throughout
on the offensive, and the normal
oroportion Of offensive to defensive
strength should be three to one.
There is no indication that the
German troops exceeded that ratio.
nor is there any present evidence
that they possessed 1t.
Once the German break through
occurred in the Sedan section due
to incredible inefficiency Of the
French high command, as told by
Premier Reynaud, fighting took the
form of tactical development In
space, the classical way Of combat.
The new idea of stalemate from the
start through the erection Of i'm
passable barriers like the Maginot
line broke down. An opportunity
then was offered for offensive field
operations, for which the Allies were
unprepared. They had counted on
the superiority of defense.
The comparative strength of the
belligerents was not essentially diff
ferent from the opening phase Of
the World War. But the Germans
had evolved their novel attack me-
thod, using reconnaissance planes,
then bomb diving planes, then hea-
Wy tanks. followed by motorized
troops, blazing the way for mass
infantry attacks. In the long his
tory of war the contest between Of
fenSe and defense for supremacy
has been continuous In the World
War defense gained the upper hand
In the present conflict the remark
! ably rapid German advance to
Paris demonstrates that offense has
supremacy. Always in the past de-
fense eventually has caught up with
new offensive tactics, but not yet
in France. If it comes soon, strategic
conditions will change. -
The Allies have shown deficiency
in anticipating German strategy. For
some time before the Germans thrust
through the low countries there
was common belief that Hitler was
planning this move. Yet on May 4
the French war ministry announced
that the two war classes of 1911
and 1918 were to be released from
military service on May II. the da,
after. the blitzkrieg began. The Al.
lies actually were reducing thei
active field strength at the tim
Hitler was making his final PLAN
for his great offensive. Such wa!
the misplaced confidence the French
high command had in the suprem-
acy of defense over attack.
General Weygand. faced with
these mistakes, has succeeded in
extricating his forces from COM
plete disaster. His line is still in
tact for future operations. It Is the
present major purpose of the Ger
mans to try to cut off the Allied
retreat to compel capitulation OF
annihilation.

vcloping movement frof the rear

A communique which told how des-
