·MECHANICAL ARMY OF THE NEXT
WAR.
Man-driven machines will win the next war, said, Colonel F. J. Fuller, D.S.O., in a plea at King's College for the ervation of auctorised" army.
Great Britain, he added, had four batta-" lious of tanks today and the French forty We were aiming at producing a light, mobile machine, and already aspect of more than twenty miles per hour had been
attained.
The idea of the French was to create a echanical army, not merely to add a handmaid to the infantry which was the British theory. The machines a mechani cal arany would require were likely to be:-
A heavily armoured and comparatively Blow inchie which would replace infan try; an armoured machine carrying a field que to replace horse-drawn artillery; a lightly armoured, fast machine to replace cavalry, and able to crime water; a semi- armoured email and fast scout machine, which, equipped with a high velocity gun. would become, a tank destroyer și a cross- Country omnibus to transport infantry and engineers, and a cross-country supply véutico.
