CZF7ZX rtvz ItX&IJW ARMY* • •
IN CONDUCTING a groat modern
military campaign there are plen
ty of problems to solve besides
those of generalship. The feeding
of such vast hosts of raefi ts of it
self a gigantic task, and as It has been
said that "an army advances on Its
stomach," this in one of the most im
portant problem* confronting com
manders.
The probable slzo of a modern battle
field has been the subject of discussion
recently among Oerman military ex
perts, who have been stimulated there
to by a book by General Falkenhausen,
one of the most eminent authorities
on land war strategy. The conclusions
at which the participants In this inter
esting debate arrive, says a Herlln cor
respondent, reveal to uninitiated
the amazing dimensions which a battle
field In a twentieth century war would
assume.
General Falkenhausen discusses the
theoretical case of an army of
000 men engaged in battle with a rival 5
of approximately the same number,
and he says that the operations would
extend over an area fully 200 miles
from side to side, and not less than
160 miles deep—that is, from the rear
of one army to the rear of the enemy.
But an army of 1,250,000 soldiers
would be a comparatively small one
in an up-to-date warfare, for forces or
this numerical strength took the field
so Iqng ago as the Franco-German
campaign In 1870, since when marvel
ous developments In military matters
have ensued. In a struggle between
two great European military powers it
is quite possible and, indeed, probable,
that each of the opposing forces would
number something like 3,000,000
troops, for Germany, France, Kussla
and Austria-Hungary are all capable
of sending such armies to the front
without touching their respective last
lines of reserves.
Battle's Area 150,000 Square Miles.
If two such mighty armies were en
gaged In battle the field of their op
erations would probably extend quite
50 miles from side to side, while the
distance from the rear of one force to
the rear of the other could hardly be
less than 80 miles. Thus the battle
field would have an area of 150,000
square miles.
When Frederick the Great fought
his battles in the eighteenth century
the field of operations never extended
more than four miles from side to
side, and in the Russo-Japanese war,
when, owing to the great distance
from the respective bases, there were
never more than thre or four hundred
thousand troops simultaneously In ac
tion, the battlefields remained limited
in extent. Will the generals of the
future be equal to the almost superhu
man task of directing operations ex
tending over such Immense areas?
Every army must have a commander
in chief, and that generalissimo must
control the movements of all the
troops united under hiß orders. He
will have all the latest technical de
vices at his disposal. Hundreds of
miles of telegraph and telephone wires
will be rapidly laid In order that he
may exchange orders and communica
tions with his auxiliary ofllcerß.
Modern Armies Too Large.
There will be motor cars and flying
machines, steerable balloons and
spherical balloons, bicycles and appar
atus for wireless telegraphy and tele
phony, besides other mechanical con
trivances for signaling. Will these
suffice to surmount the purely techni
cal difficulties Involved In establishing
effective communication over such an
area, especially as they will have to
be Installed add equipped for service
In a very short space of time? And if
they furnis'j a perfect communicating
machine *vlll there be any human
brain capable of mentally digesting
the information supplied him with be
wildering speed from so many differ
ent sources, and of out In his
>.
mind the profoundly complex prob
loiriH connected with the movements
of such legions of human engines of
war? Would Moltke, the greatest
strategist of modern times, if he were
alive, be able to handle modern
armies of milllona with the ease and
celerity necessary to success? Are
the great armies created by the lead
ing countries of Europe really effi
cient instruments of war, or would the
complicated machinery break down
under the stress of actual hostilities?
All these questions are occupying
the minds of German experts, but only
a war can supply a conclusive reply to
them. There Is. however, a strong In
clination among many competent
Judges to regard the countless legions
of the great powers us Inefficient be
cause it Is thought that they are too
big and unwltddy to be handled with
facility, and because no humnn brain
can surmount the difficulties of direct
ing their movements with precision.
Problem of Feeding Millions.
As the Kreat army moved forward
something like 3,000 field bakeries
would have to be constructed for uso
every day, and as these are under
ground and created by excavating
earth, extensive areas of country
would be honeycombed by these holes,
Involving both damage to landowners
and farmers and danger to all pedes
trians In those regions. Soldiers do
not live by bread alone, and the sup
ply of other provisions for an army of
3,000,000 would strain the resources of
any commissariat department, even
the smartest, to the uttermost. The
supply of pure water, too, would pre
sent grave and In dry weather perhaps
insuperable difficulties. There also
would be tens of thousands of horses
to tend and feed, and enormous quan
tities of petrol would be required for
the various motor cars needed for mil
itary auxiliary services. The ordinary
brain reels at the thought of all the
intricate machinery that would have
to be set In motion and kept in good
working order in the event of a great
modern war.
Italy has organized the expedition to
Tripoli with celerity and efficiency.
In the illustration we see a herd of bul
locks baing conducted through the
streets of Naples on their way to the
landing stage for embarkation, be
hind the railings is the arsenal. At
the summit of the hill in the back
ground may be Been the wall of the
castle of St. Elmo and a portion of
the monastery of St. Martino.
Some authorities predict an aban
donment of very great armies based
on- compulsory mlltary service for
every adult male in the country and
recourse to smaller armies of trained
fighters. The comparatively few pro
fessional soldiers would, according to
this view, be paid to fight the battles
of the nation, as is th« case in Ameri
ca and England.
Balvatlon Army's Good Work.
The anti-suicide bureau of the Sal
vation Army in England has nearly
completed the fifth year of its exis
tence The latest statistics which
have been published show that of the
causes which callers at the London
office pf the bureau have given for
suicidal tendencies financial embar
rassment or hopeless poverty ranks
highest. Over 60 per cent of the cases
come under this category. Colonel
Emerson, who Is In charge of the bu
reau, stated that suicide cases were
not now on the Increase. "Trade is
good," he remarked, "and that has a
great deal to do with the subject."
