epitomizes the result of the pew Ger-

ing the wet' just ended, wrich it is
believed contained the Seed of Gcr-

From the day when organized
ambit were. first created,. the infan-
try has been the backbone of every
army, and in the opinion of the most
competent generaig to -day this tiiJ
holds good. The development of Me-
ehanival aids to warfare has led to
reany changes in tootles and strategy,
but to -day, as in the first days of
war, the infantry is the deciding fee- I
tor. It mug complete the wok that I

. 'Nothing bas. been morenotable ifl
this war than the progressive deteri-
erectiou'. of the. ordinary German in-
fantry, and this, it is believed, is;
dee to the inherently vicious German
systeni of developing specialist
troops, .to the detriment and expense
of the great nveze. -
At the beginning of the war the
German infantry were a fairly home-
genecee force of distinctly good aver -
lege _quality.
All were equally well trained and
egeally well equipped, and except for
the difference between the VariOUS
German tribe's, offairly average
physique. At the end of the war they
divided into What the Germane call
"storm {goons" and ()Hillery troops.
and the result was thee; the general
avenge fell much below that of the

This is Droved by the course of the
recent fighting. When the storm

positions in front of them with cam-

Gott:eminent by Superman,
It is intereeting to note that this
system in military affaire the
counterpart of the political organizes ,
Con ''of the protegonista in the war.
Germany is am autocracy wherethe
superman rules, and the oommon man
eounts for nothing. Americe, Frame,
Italy, and Britain aro democracies,
where the cons:non man counts, and
the aristocrat is either non-existent
or secondary.
Germany in all her elaborate scheme
of organization goes in for tile gleris
fication of tbe speck:het.. The Mlle::

00 this ss•stent is elue her progressive
deterioration in this branch of the
Service. PerhIps nowhere is there it
greater contrast than exists betsveen
the air eyetems of Britain and Ger-
many. From the beginning Germany
has exalted the air superman. Rich-
thefen's flying eireue was a first-class
example oa this,
Here the commander was creclitml

squadron, which consisted a melted

air service was weakened. The Eng-

resnit is seen in the superiority of the

The All -Round Man.
In the training .of infantry, too,.
the difference is' my apparent. In
both the French and British Armies
the aim is to make every man a first-
class, thoroughly efficient soldier.
Every battalion is trained in, shock
tactics, in machine gun work, and in
all the other details of a soldier's
job. The reselt is a general level of
excellence, which gives a commander
confidence that he can secure at least
average results from any troops which
may be at his disposal. A Gerinan
general dared not attack without hie
quota of special shock teems because
he knew that his ordinary rank and
file were not equal to the task. A neter.
