'DECIStON MUST COME
ALONG WESTERN ERONT
(By Henry Wood, United Press Staff
Correspondent.)
WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES.
| Feb. 10 (by mail).—European military
j authorities are now generally agreed
i that if a decisive battle is ever fought
in the present war, it must be fought
on the western front.
According to them, the front in
j France must ever remain the supreme,
ly important one until the very end
of the war.
By a decisive battle is meant a de
feat so great that the enemy's army
is no longer capable of serious military
effort.
In the present warfare of attrition,
such a decision, it is estimated, is not
so likely to come as a result of super
ior strategy as from some long, drawn
out contest like the battle of the
Somme or that of Flanders in which
the enemy’s forces are gradually worn
down till the breaking point is
reached.
But even if the decisive battle comes
in this manner, the strategists insist
j that it still can only come on the front
| in France. If such be the case,
I American troops may yet have the op
| portunity of participating in the great
| est and most important battle in the
world.
Germany’s central position, accord
ing to the strategists, gives her ad
| vantages in the matter of strategy and
| quick railway comuunieation that ren
| der it impossible for the allies to
uiwi uvi vti uiiv ui iii^ umvr 11 wins.
According to the strategists, strate
gy is a very simple thing—-to under
stand. Its underlying principle is
merely that of concentrating the max
imum force on the front where the en.
emy’s defeat will be attended with the
most decisive results.
Unfortunately, however, an arm*
j not only has to be concentrated but it
| has also to be fed, watered, clothed
and furnished with arms and muni
1 tions. The all important question of
where the big strategic concentration
| is to be made is therefore largely de
i pendent upon which side possesses the.
j quickest and most lines or railways
i arid communications with which to
j keep the army in fighting trim.
] And it is from this all-important
point of view that Germany possesses
an insurmountable advantage apon all
the fronts except that of France.
Germany's strategical advantage for
; moving troops to ami from the various
j fronts, is shown by the follmving com
parisons:
I From Lille to the Fiave (Tor Ger
j man troops), TOO miles; from Arras
to the Fiave (for French-KngSish
troops), 860 miSes.
From 'Colmar to the Trentino '(for
Germans), 341 miles; front Belfort to
the Trentino (for affiled troops*. 500
miles
From Lflle to Salonika (for the
Germans), 1,350 miles; from Arras to
Salonika ‘(for the allies, partly ly
sea). 2,T»0 Tnlies.
From Lille to Jerusalem front (for
Germans). 2,700 miles; from Arras to
Palestine- from (for allies'), 2,500
miles.
From Lille to Tigris front (for Ger
mans), 4,940 miles; from Arras to T1
i gris front (for allies), 6.960 miles.
I From Lille to Kussian front (for
J Germans), 1,080 miles; from Arras to
j Russian front. *mow impossible for al
! lies).
From Lille to Roumanian front (for
j Germans),1,366 miles; from Lille to
! Roumanian Promt (now impossible for
| allies).
