WARFARE) IN KtflOPK. In the previous sections of thin course army life and service have been described without special refer ence to the changes brought about by the present war. There are import ant changes, and methods of training and of fighting used in previous wars must , of course, be modified accord ingly. The extent of these changes, how ever, is often exaggerated At bot tom the qualities that make a good soldier or an efficient army remain the same today that they were before the war. The changes that affect the Individual soldier have to do chiefly wlh weapons. But behind every weapon there I a man. If the weapon is to be used effectively, the man must be well trained, disciplined. coil and brav.-. He must have spirit, tenacity and self-reliance. The big problem now. Just as in all other wars. Is to de velop these qualities and the other soldierly qualities to their highest extent. The chief difference probab ly comes in the fact that self-reliance is a big factor than In most previous wars And In American armies this quality has always been highly val ued and well developed. This brief lesson can not. of course, enter Into a discussion of technical questions which belong In the field of military science. It will simply point out a few of the striking fea tures of direct interest to every man who reaches the front. Character of Present War. This war differs from previous wars chiefly In the enormous in crease in the use of artillery. This is due partly to the Immense manufac turing resources of the countries at war, which enables them to produce great numbers of guns and great quantities of ammunition. It is due also to the new methods of directing gun fire from airplanes. It is evi dent that a gun can not be accurately aimed at an object the exact location of which Is not known. The air Plane, however, is able to bring back or signal back this Information, so that the artillery may now be used with greater effect. The exact size of the guns and the force of the ex plosive shells fired from them have also been largely increased. Partly as a result of these Im provements In artillery. It has been necessary to develop better methods of protection. The protection of troops consists of digging stronger field entrenchments than have been necessary In previous wars. Here we have the main reason for the so-called "trench warfare," which durins the last three years has largely taken the place of former methods of mov ing armies about freely until they came Into conflict with each other. Digging trenches and throwing up breastworks for protection against the enemy's fire is, of course, not a new thing In warfare It is being done in Europe, however, on a much big ger scale than ever before. A com plicated network of trenches now protects the men on both sides. The spade has become one of the soldier's best weapons of defense. In seeking protection against heavy artillery fire a very Interesting development has taken place. This is the use of various devices for con cealing field guns and troops from the view of enemy airplanes. Some times trees are brought up and Planted near the object to be hid den. Sometimes the gun or other object has an awning spread over it which is painted to look from above like grass or earth. For the same reason tents may be painted In greens and yellows. The chief Improvement In method.4 of defending entrenched troops is the Increased use of machine guns. Ma chine guns must be put out of opera tion by arlllery fire or by rifle fire directed against the gunners before infantry can advance directly against them. There has been also a great In crease during the present war In the use of barbed wire In front of the trenches as a means of defense. Sim ilar devices have been used in en trenched positions for many years, but never on so large a scale. Through their use it is now known to be possible to defend the front line positions with smaller bodies of men than were considered necessary dur ing the earlier years of the war, thua considerably reducing the strain on the individual soldier. Development of Airplanes. The new chief Instrument of war fare developed during the preHent war is the airplane. As previously ex plained, it is uped for scouting, di recting gunfire, and dropping gomb The scouting machine is usually equipped with a larpe camera which takes a series of pictures. "When these pictures are developed and compared day by day they give In valuable Information as to the exact location of troops, guns and supplies. The scouting and bombing machines are usually protected by swift fight ing machines. Airplanes have also been used at times to descend close to the ground and fire from a ma chine gun upon bodies of troops. Another very interesting and prom ising device is the "tank" a heavily armored machine so constructed that it can advance under Its own power over almost any obstacles, and thus lead an attack on enemy trenches It Is armed with machine guns. Ar mored motor cars have also been used effectively under some conditions In the front line trenches men are often armed not only with rifle and bayonet, but also with bombs which can be thrown by hand or by ma chine. Some of them are no larger than an ordinary lemon. Many men become extraordinarily expert In throwing these small bombs Into en emy trenches. They even become ex pert In picking up enemy bombs be fore they explode and throwing them tack. Another weapon of the trenches introduced by the Oermune, In spite of International agreements to the contrary, la poisonous gas. This wus at first very effective, since no de fense against it had been prepared. At the present time, however, each man In or near the front carries a gas mask, which enables him to meet an attack of this kind without seri ous Injury. Wonderful staff organizations. Hack of the lines the organization of the staff branches of the service has been enormously extended. Rail roads are constructed up to within a short distance of the front. Transport of supplies and ammunition by mo tor trucktf has been organized on a big scale The medical department have also made notable gains In methods of treating wounded men. with the result that a very large per centage recover. Even in the. early months of the war it was announced that of the wounded actually treated in French hospitals 54.5 per cent were returned to duty within a short time: 24. 6 per cent were sent home to com plete their recovery and later return ed to duty; 17 per cent at the time of making the report were still in hospitals with the probability of com plete recovery; 1.6 per cent were un fit for further service; 2.5 per cent had died from the effects of their wounds. There Is probably little basis for the Idea that the number of casual ties In this war is any greater. In pro portion to the number of men engag ed, than in previous wars. In the French army during the last six months of 1916 (which Included three big offensives) the total losses In killed, wounded and prisoners are of ficially reported to have been only 1.28 per cent of the French forces under arms. One of the striking features of the war is the proof that has been giv en of courage and devotion to duty on the part of men of all nations. As soldiers we must honor and strive to emulate the heroic bravery of those who are fighting the battle for de mocracy and freedom. As soldiers we must recognizze also the skill and courage of the enemy, even though they are shown In a bad cause. Noth ing Is gained by belittling the enemy. It is our place rather to see to It that we develop among ourselves a stiM higher degree of intelligence, spirit, tenacity, and self-reliance which alone can win victories. The war in Europe has brought forth changes and improvements, such as those Just described, to which the soldiers of the national ar my must quickly adjust themselves; but It has not changed In the least the qualities of body, mind. an1 heart, which in the long run are al ways the greatest of all factors In warfare. a, CROZIKR TO PROBE DEFKC- 4 TIVE AMMUNITION.
