Value Of Forethought And Training

SCOPE FOR SURPRISE

The limitations imposed by lack of equipment, wireless in parti- cular, have confined the work of the 1st Tank Brigade, under Bri- gadier P. C. 8. Hobart largely to company training. This occupied most of August and included prac- tice in delivering company attacks on artillery batteries, practice of tank companies in fighting each other, and night harbouring. Duri ing the last week there was night Bring on the West Down ranges, a promising experiment carried out with the aid of spotlights Later a modifed, programme of high- er "training began, helped by the provision of a few wireless sets.

and then south for an attack east- wards towards Salisbury, and this afforded scope for several changes of direction and formation, while the companies, moving on nine different routes. were at one time distributed on a frontage, of over 10 miles.

#MINOR TACTICS

اللغة

#

#

The deficiency of equipment has at least enabled, it also compelled. the Tank Brigade to explore more fully some of the problems of minor tactics, although even in this sphere the absence of proper light tanks introduces

extre element of doubt into deductions than can be drawn-where trucks of limited cross-country perform 'ances are representing light tanks. Within these circumstances the most important feature has been the special study and practice of tank" v. tank action. From strategic point of view it is hard- ly, profitable to contemplate the use of fast tank units, the best na- set that a commander has fer de- cisive manoeuvre merely to fight against the enemy's tanks. IT IS too much like exchanging queens chess. But the menace of tanks creates a tenseness in the atmos phere which is disturbing to cool calculation, encourages the obvious move, and fosters the tendency to sacrifice, future possibilities for the sake of one's immediate peace of mind. There is thus so much URe- Whood that the normal general or the other side will try to counter tanks by tanks that it is essential to be prepared for such action. In it skill and training, may count for more than in any other type of ac- tion, since the scales may be tilted within seconds, and the local issue he reversed as quickly.

USE OF CONTOURS

Outwardly a tank battle has a striking resemblance to a sea fight,

and is even more intense becausE of the close range and concentrat- ed zone of the action. Yet to this paralled there are important quali deations. The contours of the ground, the obstacles which inter- sect it. the trees and undergrowth

with which it is bestrewn, offer a very different surface from the sea-floor. They offer more scope. for surprise, by concealment and deception, and a potential offset to the superiority that rests in num- bers. The side that manœuYTES dispersed may achieve a more ef- fective concentration of fire than the side which concentrates in There is a distinct parallel between these lank actions and the

"serial" battles, composed of suc- ! cessive local combats, with which

Tailor's Suggestion For Brighter Suits

́ ́SUPREME EFFORT

A chart of men's fashions, to be isatied periodically by the National Federation of Merchant Tailors, as a cure for the painful similarity in styles for men's clothes." was proposed by Mr. L. E. Dart, of Lin- coin, in his presidential address to the Federation, at their annual meeting in London recently.

The "stupidly.conservative" st- titude of men towards the clothes they wear deserves condemnation and ridicule, declared Mr. Dart.

"If I may offer a general criti- cism of the members of our craft," he said, "I would say that in com- mon with members of other an. clent crafts, they are unreceptive to new ideas; the almost painful similarity in styles for men's clothes, and the sombreuess in ge- neral of their colourings, are out- standing proof of this contention.

Mr. Edward J. Wills, an Ameri- astronomical can authority.on navigation, has recently seat from the United States an example of a navigating machine which was in- vented by him and constructed at & cost of about £300. The machine solves problems in spheri- cal trigonometry connected with navigation. For example, if the Latitude, declination,

Unless the apprenticeship pro- blem was solved satisfactorily in the near future, the position would become so serious that London's world leadership as the centre that seta men's fashions might well be jeopardised.
