GERMANY’S ADVANTAGES |f

THE CeNTRAL.Position AND CHOICE OF FIELD oF.
BATHE ARE Two IMPORTANT FACTORS Witt. HER

NHE following article v was: : printed about three
weeks ago, before Great Britain had taken
any serious part in the battle, and before. hostili-
ties had assumed their present gigantic propor-
tions. It has proven an accurate statement of |i
the possible strategy that. would be. employed by
the German officers, and is easily the calmest of
‘all the summaries of possibilities we have- read,
In the light of recent developments itis a singu-
lar forecast—and it-is that because. of the fact
that it has been borne out by. recent happenings
in war-tossed Europe. ‘It is a splendid articlé; it
is from the Montreal Star, and worth reading: a

The German army in this campaign . has ‘two
advantages — the central position which Napoleon
valued so highly, and the choice of the field 0 of
battle, says the Star, ;

If we liken the front, along which lie the two
opposing forces, to an irregular half-cirele, then
the German armies compose the inner ring of the
circle, while the allied armies are compelled to
spread themselves along a larger outer ring. |

The advantage of this to the Germans is seen
by a glance at the map. of the war zone, whose
apex is Luxemburg, The Germans are gathered
there in great foree, and can deliver heavy at-
tacks at any point in their periphery from Verdun
to Maastrehit. In doing so they need only march

‘{straight out along the. “‘spoke’”’ of the wheel

which leads directly to ‘the point to be attacked.
But the allies, to meet them in force, must march
around their. circle—the outer circumference of
the wheel.

The result of this is that the Germans seem
now to be menacing this point, and now that,
with swift alternation; and no man can tell at
which point they intend to. attempt their serious
assault.. Indeed, the Germans themselves ° need
not make up their minds finally on that matter
until they have carefully | felt over the various

| positions which confront them, and have decided ||
;twhich promises to offer the least resistance. The

army of the inner cirele always: possesses this
advantage, It was this advantage which Napo-,
leon sought in his famous Waterloo campaign
when he met the converging British and Ger-
mans at Ligny and Quatrebras,. and drove them
back again. These tactics failed only beeause
Wellington held the heights of Waterloo, 2 and
Grouchy failed to find Blucher.

The incursion into Belgium to the north of
Leige is probably intended to further extend the
lines of the allies, If they must prepare to de:
fend Brussels in force, it is obvious that this will
denude their lines of defence farther south, ' It is
not, of course, that the loss of Brussels would be.
serious from 4 military point of view—the dom-
inating ‘point of view ina great. struggle like the
present—but that a German occupation. of Brus-
sels would seriously menace Antwerp, a.port that
would: be of the highest value ‘to the Germans.

and a constant menace to the British navy. So al.
determined thrust towards Brussels. must bring fom
large allied armies into the’ intervening territory, .
