mentS to Spain, as well as to other
countries, exports were limited to

British Officers 10 Aid

In Louisiana War !
Men Who Have Seen
Action Under Modern
Conditions to Advise

British Army officers will be as
signed to the Louisiana maneuvers
from September Is to 80, it was
disclosed today, to help train the
half million men of the I'd and Sd
United States Armies in modern
warfare.
A group of 18 British officers, most
of whom have see naction on land
and in the air, will be distributed
evenly between the two armies as
military advisers" 1t is probable
that others also will be designated.
Commodore H. N. Thornton will
be attached to the Army and Navy
air units participating in the ma
neuvers. Other British officers, it
was learned will be stationed with
commands in the armored forces,
field artillery infantry and cavalry.
Officially these British officers will
be designated as guests" They
will not be given any commands,
but will be stationed in such
strategic positions as to be able to
advise the American commanders
in the use of troops and equipment
in tactical movements.
Since the, war games in the LouiSi-
ana area are to simulate actual war
time conditions. with each army en-
deavoring to spring surprises or
traps for the other, the services of
the British officers will be used TO
great advantage, officials believed.
From the point of view of the
British officers, the war games will
give them an exceptional opportun-
ity to observe American equipment
under war conditions. This will be
especially significant in connection
with the armored forces and air.

British officers. it is believed, will
also be used in the mass war games
to be held In the Southeastern area
