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.
