j FRENCH FRONT. Feb. 18 (by
mail).—German soldiers have been ex
j perimentmg with tanks, but hitherto;
nothing has been seen of the result of ■
their efforts to copy the war engine
invented by the allies.
In the meantime it is learned from
i many sources that serious discomfi
ture has been caused to the Germans
whenever the allies' tanks have been
employed against them. Detailed in
■ structions have been issued to the
troops as to the methods by which to
| meet a tank attack. One of the most
1 i recent orders was captured in the
J course of an incursion by allied troops
into the German lines. It reads in sub
stance as follows:
"Trenches of a minimum width of
| from thirteen to twelve and a half feet
and a depth of ten feet, also thick
i mud, form very serious obstacles to
; tanks, which, however, are easily cap
I able of crossing ploughed land or
J breaking through barricades. It is not
I worth while to construct obstacles.
It is preferable to attack the tanks.
k “Tanks approaching the front should
be attacked by the artillery before
1 they come into action, even when
there is small cvhance of bitting them.
The essential thing is to prevent the
infantry from following them and in
order to do this the enemy infantry
must be made to fear the zone in the
I vicinity ot the tanks.
“The only practical way of attack
ing the tanks themselves is to place
cannon about the advanced zone of
the battlefield and by direct fire put
these war machines out of action.
Every direct hit on a tank kills several
of its crew and often sets the tank
itself on fire. It must be pointed out
' that sections of artillery held in re
: serve behind the front often are un
aware of what is proceeding and thus
I arrive on the scene too late to meet
the tanks. In principle, therefore, the
cannon should be placed well forward,
j so that the enemy may not surprise
I us. The commander of the troops
holding the front should be responsibly
- for selecting the positions of the anti
J tank guns. Cannon mounted on mo
> tor cars are very useful for this work
in districts where the roads are good.
i! "As to the infantry, they should
make no breachea :n the battle line ex
j oept to permit t' ■ undamaged tank to
pass through. To do this the infant: y,
I should take shelter, but not retreat,
| for the idea is to allow the tanks to
I advance so that they may be put out
! of action behind our lines. The prin
j eipal task of the infantry is to meet
1 and repulse the enemy infantry, but a
number of detached posts should be
I established behind the lines for the
! purpose of serving as a defense
' against the tanks.
! “The most efficacious infantry mis
i !
’ i sile against a tank attack is the armor
* piercing bullet, whose effects are
! greatly feared by the tank crews, as
j these bullets not only penetrate the
j armor but afterward produce a fierce
| flame which frequently sets fire to the
gasoline reservoir.
“The best method of attacking a
tank is from its rear, where the armor
is lightest and where it is not easy
for the crew to fire on the attackers.
Should a fight against tanks occur in
the streets of a village the infantry
is in a favorable position to attack,
j as the men can take shelter in the
! ruined houses until the tanks nave
passed and then open lire at point
| blank range with rifles and machine
guns.
“Hand grenades are almost inef
j fective against tanks, but small tiench
j mortars when they fire at a low angle
1 sometimes obtain good results.
“Practical drill in anti-tank tactics
should be carried out and thus the
tanks will lose the.ir terrors for our
troops.”
