During the present war our generals have, time after time, attempted what even so com- monplace a mentor as the drill-book declares to be impossible. The finest battalions in the world have been launched to the attack of positions held by troups, armed with modern tifles, whose ability to use their weapons had been unimpaired by previous losses or present danger. The consequence to the attackers has invariably been disastrous. In some cases the assault has been pushed home, and the position has been carried in spite of a tale of casualties quite out of proportion to the value of the immediate success achieved, but in too many others the result has been an absolute and complete failure.
