second army were moved from Winfield, La, to an undisclosed town today because of threaten ing Blue army advance. ..
 The removal was not effected utl- til after successful raid by two Blue parachute soldiers dropped be- hind the Red lines.
 They penetrated into the head quarters before they were overpow- cred. If, as in actual war condi- tions, they had been armed with two hand grenades each, they could have wiped out the staff command.
 The superior forces of General Walter Krueger's Blue third army have threatened the smaller al- though more highly mechanized Red army all along the 170-mile front and especially at the south eastern flank around Alexandria, tly-contested rail and communi- cations head.
 Mass Only One Division
 Lear can mass only one division to meet the push of Blue army corps consisting of three divisions at the Red river at Alexandria and Colfax and 1t appeared that the Reds would be unable to hold the Blue advance.

army also finds itself unable to mass at any one point along the river to repel the Blues who are Altering across in small detach- ments at several points.
 The mock war being fought in Louisiana has no parallel with any of the campaigns of the war in Europe. The Red second army has only about 130,000 men, although its equipment is highly mechanized and includes two armored forces. On the other hand, the third army has about 330,000 men, consisting mostly of infantry, including ar1ti- tank corps.
 Nowhere in Europe have armies met where one side was composed mostly of infantry and had over- whelming superiority of members while the much smaller opponent had almost all the armored forces and insufficient infantry.
 The "blitz" has been taken out of this war by the terrain and by the fact that wherever the Reds push they run into superior forces in secure positions. On the other hand the Blues are not mobile enough to use their numerical ad- vantage to outmaneuyer the Reds.
 However, as one officer pointed out, the purpose of the rnaneuvers is not Ito entertain the American people with Q miniature blitzkrieg" but to give the army a chance to iron out the kinks in its newly expanded forces"

forces unable to. consolidate the gains.
 They have admitted Blue infiltra- ton through their lines, establish ment by Blue forces of bridgeheads on the Red River, and some disrup- ton of operations behind the lines by Blue parachute troops.
 Krueger brought his parachute troops into action yesterday when he dropped 120 behind the enemy lines. Although the fate of all was not reported, there was evidence that they had succeeded in their mission of llarassing the enemy.
 Richard 0. Hottelet, United Press correspondent recently returned from Germany, assigned to the Red Army, was captured by two of the parachute soldiers but was rescued by Red troops.
 Leon Kay, United Press corre- gpondent, assigned to the Blues, re- ported the essential differences in American use of parachute troops and those German parachlitists he saw perform in European blitz- kriegs.

lUnsteu kTes& Staff COrFe8p0Ddent) With the Third Army in the Field, Sept. i9.-(UP)-The Blue army today had stopped the attacking Red forces all along the l70.mile Lou- isiana maneuVer front but 1t was reported that the Reds were YnaSsing for an attempt ct a blitz- krieg hreak-through.
 the enemy second arTny's Red forces 1t was reported, have been recalled to Louisiana from East Texas into which they crossed the first day of the maneuvers.
 They are to be held in reserve behind the second arinored division in an attempt to overwhelm the Blue ailti-tank formations which SO far have broken all Red attacks.
 It was also learned in Blue head quarters that 60 of their l20 para chute troops dropped behind Red lines yesterday had been captured Although none of the parachutists have been heard from directly, ap- parentiy because their radios are of insufficient range to reach the Blue lines, 1t was reported that they had put a column of almost 100 Red trucks out of action, captured the trucks to use for behindlthe- -line depredations, had blown up at least two bridges, captured Red scout ing party after Q hand-to. hand fight, and put out of action a party of Red engineers building pom toon bridge.
 Sacrifice Mission
 These parachutists are members of a sacrifice mission. They are expected to cause as much sabotage as possible before capture. They do not expect help from the out. side.
 In this they differ from the para. chutists. I saw the Germans dror behind the Dutch and Serbian lines The mission of these was to es. tablish an actual combat area anc engage the enemy from the rear.
 These German parachutiStS were equipped with sub-machine gun; and light, folding armor shields something like a fireplace screen 4Ac OOJeCb was JO lanQ, put uE the screens and, if they had time build earth endorsements, thuS establishing a series of effective ma. chine gun nests pointing at the enemy's rear with great demoraliz. ing effect.
 In contrast, the Blue parachu. lists apparently are expected to keel entirely under cover and operate clandestinely once the immediate danger attendant upon their land. ing is over.
 The Blue parachutists carried three days iron rations and were to carry on independently. The Ger. man parachute troops had only { piece of sausage and morphinizeC mint tablets to allay hunger pains and their operations were an imme diate part of the days problems ii particular sector. They expected to rejoin. the main body of attack ing German troops in short order
 Thus the Blue parachutists ar meant only to harass the enem, hap-hazardly and not to operate il relation to the nearest allied groun, units.
