”~ NEW WAR METHODS SEEN BY GENERAL Summerall Telis Class They Must Not Plan for Future on 1917 Conditions. By the Associated Press. The new class at the Army College was warned today by Maj. Gen. Summerall, chief of staff, that they must not base their studies of future action upon visions of a repeti- tion of World War condition Addressing the opening tendance of the twenty-second term of the coliege, Gen. Summerall said the wvision of a different kind of war must be extended to mobility in combat. Must Save Infantry. “It will not again be justifi exhaust Infantry by long ma when they can be transported by mo- tor vehicles, nor can we conceive a repetition of the slaughter of our as- sault battalions when the enemy’s or- ganization in attack or defense can be shattered by bombing and attack planes and by tanks,” he said. History will record the Regular Army’s outstanding accomplishment of the World War as the organization and training of 4,000,000 men and the leading of half that number in battle, | Gen. Summerall continued. | | Scandals Were Avoided. So effectively was the work done, he said, that victory resulted and de- mobilization was accomplished “with- out the scandals and investigations that had formerly marred the achieve- ments of our arms.” Gen. Summerall attributed the suc- cess of the war mobilization to the ed- ucational system that had been de- veloped for the Army to train officers of staff and line for great responsibili- ties.
