GINGINDHOVLU, Zululand, Union of South Africa, June 6.—A slight ac- cident delayed the Prince of Wales' train this evening. Two front wheels of the third coach were derailed while the train was slowly making a curve down hill. The train was halted im- mediately, and the accident proved of a trifling nature.

For days past Zulu warriors have been stream- ing hither from distant parts in seem- ingly endless lines for the great indaba and war dance in honor of the son of their king.

Possible landing places were held by a thin beach cordon, plentifully supplied with field guns, machine “guns, etc., and backed by strong points and small mobile re- serves. The Black air forces, both Army and Navy, were concentrated on Oahu, seven DFH4B’s being, however, dispatched to the Island of Lanai. The surface and subsurface vessels and aircraft of the naval district formed an observation cordon around Oahu at a sufficlent distance to give timely warning of the enemy's approach. “Blue's task was also difficult, in that it involved an attack against a strongly fortified island some 2,000 miles from Blue's nearest home base. In the very nature of the case such an attack was a major operation and therefore required extensive and care- ful preparations. Since a direct at- tack against Oahu was too hazardous Blue planned to seize one of the out- lying islamds, Molokal, and to establish an air base there and to follow this with a naval demonstration against a bay on the south coast of Oahu for the purpose of diverting Black's tention. Blue then proposed to direct his main landing attack against the north coast of Oahu, while simul- taneously therewith making a sec- ondary landing on the west coast of Oahu. “Blue was successful, not only in weak to prevent the seizure of the two islands. Attack Anticipated. “Blue anticipated that the main hos- tile attack would be launched against the west coast. With the forces at his disposal it was physically impos- sible for the Black commander to have adequate local reserves on both west and north coasts, and to hold out general reserves. “onfronting two attacks, one on the west coast and one on the north, he felt compelled to estimate one as the main attack and the other as secondary. The immediate conse- quences of a successful attack on the west coast were more serious north coast. | Black placed the bulk of his forces 50 as to meet this attack. With ade quate general reserves to meet any action of Blue, this risk would not have had to be taken. As it turned out the bulk of the forces were too far from the north coast of Oahu to repulse the major debarkation promptly. “Blue had been successful in seizing a base in dangerous proximity to Oahu. With local command of the 2 and with & superior air force in his hands, Blue was r sure of ultimate victc aircraft and submarines did all in their power to make winning as harc and costly as possible to Blue. “Blue’'s first move | consisted of a naval demonstrati on the evening of April 26. This w | designed as a feint, but did not have any practical result, for it did not de- ceive Black for a moment and mere- ly served to bring Blue ships under the fire of heavy Black batteries. sonabiy | But Black | against Oahu planned to begin at 1:30 a.m., April 27, but orders were issued that they were actually to begin four hours later 80 as to obviate the inevitable hazards of life and material involved in making landings at night. Landing Would Have Succeeded. “It is, of course, extremely difficult to say whether either landing would have succeeded in an actual case. The local umpires on the spot were of the opinion that the landing on the north coast succeeded, Blue suf- fering severe losses, and that the landing on the west coast failed. Considering the two cases on their merits, I am of the opinion that the landing on the west coast would prob- ably have failed in war, but that the landing on the north coast might well have succeeded. There is no doubt that highly trained, well led infantry can estabiish a beachhead once the troops are ashore. Even when the planned and covered by naval gun fire, the guns defending the beach will sink many boats, perhaps even transports. Even under the best weather condlitions the critical period of a landing operation is that which the landing troops are moving in boats from transports to beach During this period they are exposed helpless to the gun, machine gun and ire of the defender, and, in s any aircraft left, to attack ¢ the latter. “But these landing ate another lesson. operations | been i landings, as in the exercise, are well| * T in | and mobile. Dependence must not be placed primarily or even predomi- nantly upon mechanical means—field guns and machine guns—but upon mobile troops and alrcraft, counter-| attacking whenever and wherever necessary. A commander must ot | only have-troops enough to hold the | essential positions and to man his armament, but he must have enough | troops left to form an adequate re serve. “In this instance, the commander could not do this, for his force was not adequate for the task assigned to it.

With strange gyrations and contortions the dancers worked them: selves into a complete frenzy seizing Molokal but Lanai as well, and in occupying the landing fields on both islands early on the 25th This success may be ascribed in large measure to the fact that, instead of moving the airplane carrier Langley close inshore and exposing her to at- tack by Black submarines, Blue kept her well offshore and had her fly her planes off to the landing fields on Molokal and Lanai as soon as th had been seized by the aglvance force The seven Black airplanes dispatched to Lanai gave a.good account of them selves, sinking a Blue tender and in fllcting serious damage on the Blue landing force.
