Nv THOMAS r. HENRY.

For the past eight months the
United States and Great Britain
have been confronted with a new
kind of war
It is "amphibious warfare" This
means, as the name signifies, fight
ing on land and water at the same
time with the same troops.
In the past there have been land
campaigns and sea campaigns. They
have tended to be tactical entities,
although both may have been parts
of the same strategic pattern. Now
it is necessary to create the soldier
sailor" due largely to the new tac-
tics used by the Japanese in the Far
East.
Amphibious war is probably as
significant an evolutionary develop
ment in military science as was the
so-called German "blitzkrie1," the
full shock of which came to the
world only after the Polish cam
paign in the early fall OF 1899.
The "blitzkrieg" contained moth
ing strikingly new, SO far as the ele-
ments making it up were concerned
Neither does amphibious warfare.
In both cases it is the organization,
training and combination of diverse
elements into q streamlined, hard
hitting fighting machine which is
the vitality significant factor. When
the Japanese struck In the East In
dies they demonstrated the value of
the system as notably as Hitler's
unsupported panzer divisions DEM
onstrated the effectiveness of the
"blitz" pattern.
The United States, at least, has
not been caught mapping. For many
months 1t has had = force Of land
and-sea' fighters in training. with
the United States Marines as its nu-
cleus. This is the Amphibious Force
of the Atlantic Fleet. 1t is being
trained both at the Marine base at
Quantico, Va. and at New River,
N. G. Thousands Of men have
passed through this training course,
one Of the toughest ever demanded
of human beings, to become the
"cadres" of other amphibious divi-
sions which eventually will consti-
tute the. worlds biggest and most
effective amphibious army

LONDON, Aug. 6.-Enropean

of war is turning and urged them to

Anxiety over the situation, the
Russian broadcast said, ''is driving
the Hitler gangsters to furious and
frantic efforts in South Russia"
where the Nazi armies are making
a desperate bid to win control Of
the vital Caucasian oil fields.
German preoccupation with the
second front issue was reflected In a
fresh flood Of propaganda from
Nazi sources emphasizing the
strength Of the defenses being COM
spleted in Western Europe.
Alleged details Of these defenses
also were reported in the Swiss press
in a Berlin dispatch written for the
