BLUES HAMPER TANK ATTACKS

60,000 2d Army Troops Stall Smash by Force Twice as Large.

By UNITED PRESS The Blue forces of the Third Army in Louisiana and Texas, using a highly mobile “destroyer force” of anti-tank guns, heavy machine guns and 75 mm. guns, today seriously delayed an attack by an enemy twice as strong in men, weapons and machines. The Second Army, meanwhile, concluded the second phase of its maneuvers in Arkansas, a mass withdrawal of the almost 100,000 men of the Seventh Corps to new positions in a blackout and before strong enemy pressure. Lieut. Gen. Ben Lear praised his Second Army for progress and spirit, but criticized his men’s lack of initiative in the field.

Anti-Tank Defenses Hamper Attack

By LEON KAY United Press Staff Correspondent WITH THE THIRD ARMY, Aug. 27 —The Blue forces’ anti-tank defenses today seriously hampered an advance by an enemy twice as powerful as they. The attacking Red forces with 130,000 men, the powerful Second Armored Division and cavalry yesterday attempted to encircle the 60,000 Blues and deal them a knockout blow, The Blues fought a delaying action, and so hampered the thrusts of Red armored columns that the attackers fell back to prepare a new attack. A combined tank and cavalry drive is expected to end the Blues’ resistance some time today. The Blues used every ruse possible to stop the tanks, and one of the most successful was a highly mobile ‘destroyer force” of antitank guns, heavy machine guns and 75 mm. guns, which the Blues rushed wherever a Red tank attack threatened. It is questionable whether the Blue tactics would work in actual warfare, but the interesting part of these maneuvers is that someone is at least trying to reduce an armored attack from the proportions of a hideous nightmare to an instrument of war for which kinds of antidotes should be the idea is being

that tanks can be stopped.

Gen. Lear Praises

Progress in Training

By RICHARD C. HOTTELET United Press Staff Correspondent WITH THE SECOND ARMY, Aug. 27—Lieut. Gen. Ben Lear, commander of the Second Army, Praised the “progress in training” his troops showed in the second phase of their maneuvers, but he said they lacked initiative in the field. “We are somewhat lacking in aggressiveness in establishing advance contact with the enemy,” he said in a critique on last night's blackout maneuver. “Scouts are not put out boldly and too much time is lost.” Maj. Gen. Robert C. Richardson was more outspoken in his criticism of communications and the application of the air arm in operations. “The 100th Observation Squadron received at 8:31 a. m. a message telling it to take off at 8:30 a. m.,” he said. “This message was sent at 7:45, but had been delayed in transmission through various intermediary points. Since pilots must first study the terrain over which they are ordered to fly, this squadron could not take off until after § o'clock.” Other officers praised last night's blackout withdrawal, but criticized instances of faulty display of light which in modern war can betray an entire operation. Brig. Gen. Lewis M. Means said he asked one of the 140th infantry’s “Swamp Angels,” so-called because they come from the swampy sections of southeast Missouri, how he felt after a 26-mile march. “It wasn’t much, Sir,” the private replied. “We used to walk that much back home to home go to a dance.”
