Cour- age, discipline and tenacity are still the dominant elements of success.” “And the guns—it has been repeat- edly stated that this has become a war of artillery.” “I think there has been an inclina- tion to exaggerate the importance of artillery,” Sir John answered. ‘No doubt of the three arms, artillery has increased in relative importance. It may take a dozen shells to get one man, and one bullet will get one man. \The weapons which decide the day are the rifle and the machine gun, and the infantry is still the queen of battles.” Pays Tribute to Germans. As a soldier speaking of his enemy, Sir John Frendh was far from de- precating the fighting qualities of the Germans. To the troops of Emperor William he paid a soldier’s chivalrous tribute. “‘But they are no greater than other soldiers,” he said. “I af- tripute their valor and their well dis- ciplined cohesion to the fact that from the cradle they are taught discipline and to worship their emperor and the fatherland and that it is their duty to die for the fatherland when their emperor commands.” “As to the conduct of the Germans, is it as bad as reported?” was asked of Sir John. “Have they consistently broken the rules of civilized war- fare?” Hesitates Before Speaking. For the first time the British com- mander hesitated before speaking. Evidently as a soldier he wished to be entirely just to his enemy. , “in many in- stances their ¢onduct has been bad, very®bad; I know that it has been.” This declaration was made with firm conviction. “But it has varvied. It has seemed to depend upon the com- manders. If a commander approves of outrages, they occur. Yet, in the main, German conduct depends upon the character of the German gener- als.” “And the French army; you have been fighting as its ally for eight months; how does it compare with the German?’ the correspondent asked. This seemed a happy question. To it Sir John replied: ‘“The ¥ at the’start were laboring und the shadow of their disastrous defeat in 1870, which might well have led both the French and the world in general to think that the German military machine was heaven-born and irresti- able. The French already have learned the contrary, and the world soon must, if it has not. T need not speak of their splendid generalship of their courage in driving the Germans back from the Marne. They have the elan of Napoleon’s time thanks to the spur of renewed confidence Man for man, they are better thm; the Germans today ana their army has continually improved since the war began while the German army has deteriorated. 4 : Attacks Lack Former Vigor. “We have abundant evidence -of the German deterioration on our own front. Their attacks lack the former vigor and spirit. Neuve Chap:lle was an important victory. Tt ]\ro\ed‘ that with a strong push we could put the enemy out of a well fortified Dos- ition and then hold what we gained “One of the gratifying things ('; us,” the British commander in chief said in conclusion, -“is how well our territorials have done once their per- iod of preparation was over and they had an opportunity. T believe they occupy much the same relation to our forces as your national guard does to yours. They have surpassed our cxpectations, As for the Canadians, I cannot pay too high a tribute -to them.” PHERSON WINS MEDAL, Private Krnest Pherson won the competitive Griswold medal last night at the annual drill of Company T, Iirst Regiment, C.

Paris, March 12:4 a. m. The French ministry of war issued las assertions made in American new papers by the German military an- thor, General Friedrich von Bern- hardi, to the effect that the French plan of concentration showed that the French and British governménts had made careful preparations to violate the neutrality . of Belgium. The war ministry’s: statement ex plains in detail that when war was declared the French army was con- centrated along the German frontier and that the Teutonic invasion of B gium compelled the general staff to change completely the disposition which had been a nged. Sut fc this delay, it says, the Germans neve would have been able to cross the Meuse. The question of the Bri ish army taking the field was not con- sidered, the war ministry asser un- til after the violation of Belgium on August 5. Its concentration was ef fected behind Maubeuge from Aug- ust 14 to 24. Various orders are quoted to show that the French army and ordered to leave to the Germar the responsibility for opening hostil- ities. An order issued by the min- as reading: “Germany will attempt by falss news to induce us to violate Belginn neutrality.

Washington, March 25.—While jus- tice department officials were contin- uing work-: today on their opinion as to when provisions of the new sea- men’s law would become effective, Secretary Redfield issued this state- ment: “The following announcement ap- plies to sections of the seamen’s act j of March 4, 1915: - “1—Section 6 (forecastle acc { modations) applies to vessels of United States the keels of which are laid on and after March 4, 1915, | whether such vessels be built at home or abroad. Section 14 by its terms will ap- | to v Is of the United States and | 1s on and after July 1, 11 ana 13, will ap- ply to foreign vessels in the manner and at the times indicated in sections 16, 17 and 18, of the act.” Mr. Redfield’s statement is the ex- jon of commerce depariment of- als as to apparent conflicts uli- | jing from the language of the act in several sections, and which have brought numerous inquiries from ship- ping men. Section 18 of the act con- tains the gencral statement that it chall take effect eight months after its p ge, with certain reservations as to foreign shipping, while sections ¢ and 11 fix the date of applications | on some specific provisions. Other sections are held to be of such nature | as to be involved with those specific provisions, and confasion arouse as to whether they would take the same dates of application.
