 With the Second Army in Lotiisi- ana, Sept. i5,-(UP)--Lieut. Gen. Ben Lear's second army moved through complete blackout early today into position to valut the Red river into enemy territory and launch the nations largest peace time war games.
 Through the darkness of early morning silent columns of i30,00O men moved, with only the pinpoints of deep blue light shining dimly from the headlights of their l6,000 vehicles, to guide them.
 Although the movement was along c biDad front, 1t was Q difficult oper' ation. Rain had softened tt ground and passage off the roads v difficult for heavy vehicles.
 Such conditions offer a real test of an army's pre.combat efficiency but saw no confusion among the Second Army as I drove through the entire area last night.
 watched the German army as- semble and move into CzechoSlo- vakia in 1888 and saw 1t again when 1t moved out Of Flanders to assemble for the offensive south against the Weygand line in i940.
 Praises U. S. Army
 I saw this new American army make its first night tactical march under blackout conditions four weeks ago when the preliminary phases of these Tnaneuvers began, and I can say now that these men already have been seasoned to the point where their movement and transport can be compared with the German army.
 Elaborate precautions had been taken to shield the points of con- centration from enemy observation. Cigarettes were lit only under cover, and near the river smoking was prohibited altogether at most points. The men spoke in whispers,
 Much the same system of traffic and transport regulation that the Germans use was employed here, Certain roads, depending upon the weight their bridges and culverts could support, were assigned to cre- tain units.
 Other forces were given right of way along some roads for definite hours, with times exactly set when the first and last vehicles of the column were to pass a given point Numerous military police regulated traffic with blue flashlights at in- portant intersections, just as saw the Germans do in France and Bel gium.
 The German practice of marking off express highways - "Rollbah- nen"-for specialized purposes could not be used here because of the irl- sufficient number of roads.
 Supply Functions Well
 Supply functioned we'll l did no, meet single soldier who had missed a meal, nor was there any shortage of water among the infantrymer plodding stolidly and silently along with the grim shadowy shapes oi huge trucks, guns and cars. All the vehicles were well-supplied with fuel.
 The second army seemed Q we'll geared machine. Engineers moved into position heavy pontoons ant bridge building equipment to be thrown across the Red River when the command was given. Anti-air. craft batteries were set up to defend the crossing forces.
 The fighting power of the Ger man and American armies cannot yet be compared, but as for organ ization and efficiency behind tho front, I can see no great difference between them.
