A SURVEY OF THE ENEMY

[BY THE TIMES MILITARE COTICSPONDENT

I have recently been afforded the OP portunity of visiting the Somme battle fields and of recognizing the connection between the events of last year on that front and the fighting now in progres on the front St. Quentin-Lea From the Sodime I have passed along our present line, have seen something of the fighting. and have talked with many of the chief actors in this great drama which is still 38 holding a world audience cathralled. It may therefore he expedient that I should summarize the opinions which I have formed as a result of these experience

In order to understand the nature of the task set to Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig this year it is necessary that we should all realize the nature of the op 20 position which confronts us and o 36 French and Belgian Allies.

He knows the ranges of our guns to a yard, and places his own guns, just outside these Tages whenever practicable. We therefore must constantly neck for improvements, and should remain prepared to shell his back areas even at extreme ranges, for thera are many advantages to be derived from this course. We cannot expect to be superior in all calibres, but our artillery is now very good, and munitions are

more than abundant, 2

I do not think that the Germans are short of shells, but I think that they or other are unable to make up their are short of guna, and for corde Petson leeway. We amothered their guns on April tb, and later the German artillery was distinctly inferior to ours. Our counter-battery work, not above criticism on the Somme, has become deadly. In four months before Arras our aeroplanes reported 1,589 Birect hits on German guns as well as sumo 200 important ex plosions, so that the German adminis tration, which was already hard put to it to repair its guns, to create a reserve, and to provide artillery for the new divisions must have had an anxious time.
