(Copyright, 193. by United Press.) WASHINGTON.- UP Nspoleon I defeated at Waterloo 130 years go. would have the odds In his favor If that battle were now re-fought with employment of scientific Inventions since perfected. Napoleon late on June 18. 1816. saw the Old Guard fall In Its last desperate attempt to drive the Eng lish Infantry off the crest of a hill In front of Mt. St. Jean. The Issue of the batttle and the fate of the French empire already had been de elded by the failure of Marshal Grouchy to arrive In advance of the Prussians. Military historians are agreed that Napoleon lost at Waterloo through lack of support from Orouchy. who. lacking specific orders, did not re-! spond to the urgent advice of sub- 1 ordinate officers to rush to the dis tant but audible cannonade; tnd through the Inability of Marshal Ney'a cavalry and Infantry, desolte desperate heroism, to gain the crest In front of the large English force. Napoleon himself gave Grouchy a large share of the blame. strategy Not Out-Dated. Military authorities consulted by the United Press said that Napole n's strategy tn the campaign culminat ing In the batttle of Waterloo, eon formed to Immutable principles of warfare and would be substantially similar If the campaign were resumed today. His Intention to demolish the Eng lish army before the Prussians could come to Its aid. and thereby simul taneously clear the road to Brussels were clear purposes not since subject ed to criticism. In the actual battle, however. Na poleon's execution was faulty, dus tn large part to poor staff work and to the absence of effective com munications with Grouchy. Under similar circumstances in a campaign today. field telephones promptly would be Installed by the signal corps and the safety of communications would be further assured by radio telephony, and If necessary by pyro technic displays Grouchy would have no chance to vacillate for hours before sensing the problem of his commander. Lacked Vital Information. Long before the fateful hour. Na poleon's air patrols would have re ported the approach of the Prussian forces near the scene of battle, and he would have made the necessary re-disposition of forces. If Napoleon and his legions today were at La Belle Alliance and con fronted by the allied British. German. Dutch and Belgian troops of Mt. St. Jean, they would have many alterna tives on that fateful June day in 1815. First, military authorities said, it la very unlikely that a direct frontal at tack would be attempted, as the fast moving motorized equipmtnt would afford a fair possibility of flanking the British position from the west. Wellington himself feared such an attack by cavalry, and had uselessly detached a part of his forces. Secondly, if a direct attack should be attempted, a cavalry charge cer talnlv would not be thought of; the Infantry charge would be carefully prepared for. with the possible em ployment of attack airplanes, shrap nel, smoke screen, and gas. Artillery Fire Ineffective. Napoleon's artillery was Ineffectual because the masses of allied troops back of the hill top were immune from his fire, but in a smllar situa tion today trench mortars, capable of almost vertical fire, could rain shells upon the British behind the lnfamry line. The demoralization could be aided further by a shower of small air-bombs from attack planes, rhe air-attackers doubtless would at tempt an enfilading fire by machine guns against the English infantry line In the cornfields. Other means of attack failing, it is theoretically possible that a modern Napoleon would attempt to gain the hill by a massed attack of tanks, fol lowed by infantry. Napoleon's Forces Stronger. In a modern replica of Waterloo. Wellington as well as Napoleon would have the aid of all modern mllitarv devices. Tie presumption that Napoleon might win la based upon the fact that his failure in 1818 was In large part due to adverse accidents of communications and vague orders. Napoleon theoretically could have brought to the field massed strength in men and guns far greater than that of Welllrigron. On the morning of the battle. Wel lington had 67.600 men and 158 gura. while Napoleon had 74.000 men and 348 gams. Wellington had the better position. If there had been possibil ity of a telephone call from Napo leon's headquarters. bringing Grouchy and his corps opportunely by the battlefield. the Prussians could not have flanked the French, and the empire might have been saved. The Prussian lorees arriving at the battlefield on the 18th numbeted nearly 62.000 with 104 guns, and ceve the allies an overwhelming superiority. Old War Enemies Meet LORAIN.
