CHACO PROVES INFANTRY STILL RULES WARFARE

Manpower More Vital to Success Than Tanks and Cavalry. Thl I* th' fourth of a series of dispatches on the Chaco r, covering the tactical military and financial phases. BY ARC il RODGERS United I'cevv Matt < nrtr>(Hindfni <C- 1934 bv United Presst BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Dec. 20.—The infantry, supported by machine guns and mobile artillery, is still the backbone of modern warfare judging from the experiences of the Chaco war between Bolivia and Paraguay. Thi> coni! i.sion must be modified, however, by the nature of the terrain, which is mostly heavily wooded and broken. Tanks were used by the Bolivians extensively, but were not entirely successful. Cavalry, u < and extensively by both sides early in the war, soon was abandoned in favor of infantry and machine gun units. Transportation in the Chaco is difficult and it is therefore safe to as-ume that tanks and mobile units would play a larger part in a warfare in different territory, such as much of the theater of the World War. Guns of these types were pounding the banks of the Bilcomayo River today, continuing a bombardment which has lasted for a week, as the Paraguayan-, sought to take Port D'Orbigny on the west bank. Airplanes Used Extensively As in the World War, airplanes have been extensively used as spectacular sky engagements have been fought. Some towns were bombarded. The airplanes were important in detecting enemy movements and in convoying supplies and wounded men, the latter in hospital planes. Flame-throwers have been much used, but poison gas has not figured greatly in this war. The Paraguayan government repeatedly denounced the alleged use of poison gas by Bolivia. All the modern implements of war except heavy artillery thus have been brought into action. The heaviest artillery used has been guns of 75 and 105 millimeters. Mortars have been extensively employed by both sides with tremendous effect and are regarded as the best type of artillery in the war. Trench Warfare I'sed Steadily Trench warfare has been the order of the day, although in a somewhat different military sense than in France. It has been a war of ’positions”— that is, all military operations have been directed against established positions such as forts, outposts, etc. All the forts which dot the area are ringed by trenches. In fighting for a position, both sides dig in and figi.t until one or the other is driven to anew position. In general tactics, the Bolivian army follows the German method and the Paraguayans the French. The Bolivian method has been one of mass drives, sending wave after wave to sweep over the enemy. It tended to raise the ratio of Bolivian casualties. The Paraguayan is one of dogged resistance and of strategic encirclement, flanking the enemy and weakening his central driving power. In the latter phases of the war it has proved remarkably successful. The Paraguayan army is French trained. It is led by Gen. Jose Felix Estigarribia, brilliant graduate of the French military academy, St. Cyr. He has not left the front since the beginning of the war. He is native born. Gen. F.nrique Penaranda, a Bolivian, is the outstanding leader on the other side. He has achieved some brilliant successes and distinguished himself at the battle of Cnmpovia last December. The Bolivians have been trained on German lines and Gen. Hans Kundt

The extensive and more successful use of radio has proved an advance in communications over the World War. Both the infantry and 1 tanks are equipped w’ith radio although the tank radios proved uncertain and sirens were also used. Messages are sent in code, of course. Telephone, telegraph and courier were alternatives, especially for highly confidential messages. From the financial side, the conflict has proved that war can be disastrous to a nation. Both countries are in dire economic straits. Their currencies are extremely depreciated and both belligerents have used up most of the sound money at hand.
