Generals Work in Pajamas
and Direct Movements of
Troops on Maps
(By William Philip Sinu.) "
Dunkirk, France, Oct. 28. (By mail
to New York) A man in pajamas in
pajamas most of the time, at any rate,
since he is too busy to dress is manag
ing the French army.
General Joffro is the army's field
commander. He handles the big ques
tions presses the buttons, so to speak.
But General Bertholet, his chief of
staff, does the actual work. It is Gen
eral Bertholet who has too much work
ou his hands to get Into his clothes.
After several trips along the battle
fringe, alter meeting, thousands ot sol
diers in the course of same day, some
going north, some going south, some
moving to the front, some retiring to
the rear, in what looked like a hopeless
tangle, it struck me more forcibly than
ever that the modern fighting machine
is tup most complicated thing on earth.
Here's how1 General Joffre keeps
track of it:
He Marks the Map,
In his headquarters hangs a map of
the country where lighting is
progress a map one one-thousandth
the size the country itself. This map
shows every highwav, railroad, canal
bridge path, pig trail, river, creek,
bridge, tree clump, hill, mountain, val
ley ami swamp. Used in connection
with the map is a wonderful collection
of wax headoil pins of all colors and
sizes, representing various army units.
Into the room where the map hangs
run many telegraph aud telephone
wires. Headquarters is also provided
with a wireless equipment.
A battle is about to commence. The
troops have been distributed along the
200 mile front. A bell rings.
"Hello!"
"The Gerniuns are attacking General
Durand 'a division? '
" 1'iie.v are in superior numbers?"
"The general needs reinforce
ments, . 7
"All right."
He Pulls the Pins.
The officer who has received this
information bv 'phone hurries into Gen
eral lierl hold's odroom. Tho general
has just dozed off but lie is wide awake
in a minute.
In a twinkling he has located the pin
representing General Durand 's division
on tiie big map. Ten miles back are
more pins representing the reserves
under Genernl Hianc. More pinB show
that plenty of auto buses ar nearby,
"Order General Blanc,"
General
Bertholet directs, "to reinforce General
Durand at once by nuto bus with 10,000
men, four batteries of 70 milimetre
artillery, ten machine guns and three
squadrons of cavalry."
Within five minutes more ho is execut
lias received his instructions by 'phone.
Within five minutes more is he eveeut
ing them. Twenty or twenty-five mlu
the reinforcements ni needed.
Every time a bridge is blown up or
a montoon span is thrown across a
stream or a food convoy is moved,
General Berthoiet shifts some pins on
his map,
It isn't necessary to acquire an au
tomobile to run Into debt.

man Attack Weakening
' Paris, Nov. 13. Desperate fighting at
ciose quarters was in progress today be
tween the allies and the Germans from
Ypres to the const.
The Germans still aimed their assault
at Dunkirk. The allies attempted conn
tor attack after counter attack. The
infantry, alternately charging and re
sisting on cither side, fought under
cover of a deadly artillery fire.
Despite the furry of the German's of
fensive, the allies held their own along
a line in tho form of an obtuse angle,
one wing resting on the coast at Niou-
port nnd the other extremity at Ypres,
wirn tno apex of the angle at Dixmude,
The young and but half triad Ger
man troops who figured in the earlier
fighting iu this section wore no longer
mucn in evidence. Their places had
been taken by tried veterans, who
strove liko demons to break the allies'
front.
On Unth sides the losses were terri
fic.
According to the Inst official state
meat, the Germans, who announced on
Thursday that they had forced their
way across the Yser nil along the line,
had been driven back again to the
stream's east Dank except at a single
point, tne location of which was not
stated, where It was said they held less
man iiiuu yarns.
The French, said the official state
ment, have occupied Tracv-le-Val.

German drive against the nllios' lino

ceived this afternoon from the Bord
eaux wnr office.
From the const to the River Lys,
through Dixniude and Ypres, the
violence of the fighting had diminished,
the stiitemcnt said. German attempts
to secure a permanent foothold on the

About Ypres, it was reported, condi
tions were unchanged, with the allies'
line still holding.

correspondent for United Press.)
New York, Nov. 13. Turkev's Dlan
of campaign in the European war was
oevoiopiug today in two directions, but
it was not yot -possible to determine
wuotnor its strategy was dominated by
lurmsn or uermau influence.
if the uermans nave their way,
practically all the sultan's forces will
be used against Russia, in the hope of
compelling the tzar to relax the pres
sure of his troops against the kaiser's
frontier. On the other hand, if the
Turks decide for themselves what to
do, Egyptian operations will become of
major importance.
Certainly an occupation of Egypt
would be far more delectable to the sul
tan than tho seizure of territory In tho
unfruitful Trans Caucasian country.
Friction Develops.
The Turks apparently are not concen
trating in very large numbers either in
tho holy land, for an Invasion of
Egypt, or in Armenia, to fight ' the
Russians. This suggests indecision at
Constantinople with differences of
opinion betwoen the Turks and their
German advisors. Friction between them
is likely to increase as the war prog
resses unless German gold can be made
to carry conviction among the higher
Ottoman authoriles.
Unless the Germans succeed in com
pletely dominating' the war office at
Constantinople the possibility that the
Balkan states which still remain neu
tral may be drawn into the war un
doubtedly will be a fuctor in determin
ing tho sultan's plans. From the Otto
man standpoint, a strong force of troops
should be retained In European Turkey
as a precaution against the develop
ment by Hussia of an attack through
the Balkans, with Rumanian and Bul
garian assistance.
Will Have Hands mil.
If these two Balkan nntions do de
clare war against the Turks, however,
Germany can expect no help from its
new ally, since the sultan will have Ins
hands full to resist the ltumaniniis and
Bulgarians, and will be uiiablo to do-
Thus it is to Germany's Interest to
Thus it Is to Formally 'a Interest to
have the Balkan situation left to
chance, though to do so will be dnu
serous for the Turks.
Hi short, Ucrmnn strategy demands
that the Ottoman troops devote all
their attention to ltussin, and the only
place where this Is possible is in tho
Trans Causasus. It may be taken as a
foregone conclusion, acconlingly, that
the kaiser will do his utmost to con
vince the sultan that he Is in no dan
ger of attack from across his European
frontier.
Bulgaria a BuPer.
Fortune plnvs Into Teuonlc hands In
this respect because of Bulgaria's at
titude, Bulgaria is Turkey ' Kuropenn
bonier country, and the llulgnrinns are
filled with resentment against their
Balkan neighbors and against the Hus
sinus, blaming them because Bulgaria's
share of the spoils of the recent war
with the Turks was not In proportion
to the sacrifices which It made.
The Germans can make effective use
of this argument in connection with
their representations to the sultan that
his Kuropenn frontier Is safe. Un
doubtedly they are already doing this.
Humming matters up, Germany must
risk whatever may happen In tho
Its I tin ns and rush the Turkish army
across Asia Minor as a halt for Flussia.
Turkey's subsequent fate, if the kaiser
has IliK way, is a proposition which must
be subordinated to the requirements of
higher Teutonic, strategy,
