TIIK IMFFEKENCE. i General Ferdinand Koch has said: "Every soldier miiBt feel himself in communication with his general and must never be permitted to con sider himself a mere pawn to be moved at the whim or mercy of an unknown power." That is entirely different from the Potsdam strategy, but there is a fel ing that It makes for a more respons ible and intelligent army and one that in the finals must prevail. A machine is less poweiful than the thought behind it. and a French soldier is a thought instead of a cog in a machine.
