Thus WS see that the dominant fnxHir
of-the first 7hase of the battle of Cam
bral was the element of surprise. Byng
on an enormous scale reproduced at
Cambral the achievement of Washington
at Trenton an achievement, by the way,
on Washington's part also, at the ex
pense or German offleexs and men. In
its first phase the battle of Cambral
was a surprise; Its real chance of suc
cess lay. in the fact that a concentra
tion of men and machines had been ac
complished secretly, before a thinly held
portion of the German line. It Is rub
bish to conclude -that the success was
due solely to tanks, and that, given
