Captam Granville Fortescue War Correspondent Back From Front, Compares Fighting Men Says Germans Superior in Mobility, Frenchman Most Intelligent Fighter, Russian Most Stubborn, While First Line English Will Hold Own With Any.

NEW YORK. March .:i. ('apt. Granville rort-Mue, who was military aide to l'res't Kooaovclt, N in this nty on a month's leave of ab.-enee from hi-i duties as corrt sjiondent at the front in the European wr. Capt. Fortescue aid: "Before I make any Matt m r.ts as to my opinions rcardim; conditions in the war zone I would like to have it clearly known that I take no sidea in the controversy. Since I returned to America I have been asked often if I were pro-German or pro-allies and my answer has invariably hi en that I am pro-United States."In all that I have seen of the operations I have tried to approach the problem from the viewpoint of a neutral first and second irom the, to me, exceedingly interesting anle of an army officer. So that I hope in leading what I have to :;ay one will always hear that fact in mind. Where I f,rive praise, I Kive ;)taisu not hecause my sympathies an with tho side I happen to be c'iscus.-in hut simply because the obvious superiority demands my admiration from a military point of view, I shall not speak of tho cause or the moral side of the war, hut only of the material and military tide which I have seen and known. Saw All Uut Turks and Serbs. "I was exceedingly furtunate in seeing all the armies in action save the Servians and the Turks. "I was fortunate in being in Ilelglum at the outbreak of the war and saw the first conflicts beninnin with Liee, passim; through that afflicted country down the valley of the Mouse to Namur and culminating in the battle of Dinant. "Here I saw tho operations of the French army of the north, which was supposed to defend the line of the Sam b re. at Charlerois in conjunction with the English army. I had extraordinary opportunities of judging their state of preparedness and efficiency. "Afterwards I returned to London and proceeded to Uerlin and followed the German operations from that side for three weeks. I was treated with the greatest courtesy by the gentlemen of both the military and diplomatic offices in Germany and was taken by them to Llcne, where I had tho opportunity of checking up the observations I had made from the Belgian side. "Since that date I have been in Berlin as recently as Feb. 1.". "Tho difficulties that beset the correspondents are well known now to every one and we who are doing our best to try and paint word pictures of what we see on the battle front not only have to take the chances of shell and shot but also are in continual danger of being mistaken for spies by the forces with whom we chance to be working. Arreted Three Times. "My experiences in France were rather unfortunate. There I was arrested three times, althv:gh my papers were always in first class order. I spent on the Belgian and French frontiers in the theater of operations a period of three months at the beginning of the war, subtracting the three weeks I was in Germany. "The extraordinary opportunities I had have made it possible for me to get, I think, a comprehensive idea of the value of the different armies engaged. "Lord Kitchener says that 'generals win battles, soldiers win a war,' so that the spirit of the armies is therefore most important," it was suggested to Capt. Fortescuc. "I lowdo the armies that you have seen compare in this respect? That is to say, the British with the French, the French with the Russian, and all three allies with the German and Austrian armies?" Germans Most Mobile. "The difficulty in answering that question arises in tho fact that armies are not stationary," he replied. "They vary in their value from day to day, depending entirely upon the circumstances of the military operations, with this understanding, however. Wo can try and make a general comparison of the effectiveness of the forces engaged. "I don't hesitate to say from what I have seen and judged purely from a military standpoint that the German units regiments, brigades and division corps are of higher tactical value than corresponding units in any of the other armies with the possible exception of the British, at least tho British of the first expeditionary force. "Before the war began I was In a manner conversant with the German organization and I have had the opportunity of seeing that organization tested by tho most rigorous demands of warfare. I can say unqualitiedly that it has stood the test without a break. The spirit of the troops is splendid. All Are Brae. "There has been a great deal of fun. I might say poked at the soldiers and officers of the German army for having received the highest award the iron cross in such great numbers. Personally, I am of the opinion that all the men I have seen under tire have qualified according to the highest i-tand irds of courage for any honor their country can bestow upon them. "The troops of the German army whom I describe, however, are men of the first line and it must bo known that the landwehr and landsturm are naturally not so effective as the youncer regiments. "The British force which after all is a very small part of the land lighting force only eight per cent of the armies in the held at first are also troops of the very highest tactical value. This has been admitted to me by German oifieers themselves. It must he remembered hire also that the new British army which is now taking the field cannot possibly compare with the men of the expeditionary forces in training although it may closely approach the same in morale. IVeneh MM Intelligent. "I have the greatest admiration for the French private soldier. lb- is to my mind the most intelligent lighting man now engaged. While he do.s not like war. yet in spite of this hdoes his work in a most thorough and scientific manner. What I say of the French c -union soldier. however, does not apply to the ottivers of higher rank. Naturally I sjuak of the French army as it was during the tirst phase of the war and now it is admitted by the frerw h the motives that they were unprepared. "The general ot'icers whom I came

in contact with at the time impressed me as being entirely unqualified for the tasks allotted t them. Since I left tlie zone of their operations I have heard that Gen. Jotfre has summarily ietiri'l some 4S general othecrs. This cannot but help to raise

the general standard of the army. "Tin fcneral oilicers commanding c - ---- - - , - at the beginning of the war were men who had risen to their positions by simply sitting still and waiting for the t.sual accidents of promotion. A test of war soon demonstrates whether these men are fitted or unfitted for their positions. Dry Mdict Aids Hus. "My observations of the Russian army led me to believe that a great change had been brought in the forces of tho czar since I had seen them at port Arthur. It is rather difficult to impress upon anyone not familiar, with the situation the tremendous effect of what T might term the 'water wagon' order which placed all of Russia on a prohibition basis. The common soldiers cannot obtain anything to drink and the oilicers are in the same situation, for although the latter may be tiblo to obtain wine with extraordinary effort they never made this attempt. "The Russian army is well equipped and well organized but here, too, we find that corps and division commanders are lacking in experience. "It is a very serious problem how to give these oilicers who must carry out the ordeis of the commander-in-chief in war, the proper training in time of peace. Germany is the only country as far as I know that has seriously attempted to solve this problem. German maneuvers are largely taken up with the entraining and detraining of divisions, corps ami armies. This special work gives the generals in command an unusual opportunity of learning how to handle most effectively the forces at their disposal. Russians Stubborn. "Here is where the Germans excel. They have, as has been so often stated, superiority of mobility. Against this the Russians place their native stubbornness and there are no more stubborn lighters in the woriu than the Russians on defensive. "Uf the Austrian 1 do not wish to make any definite statement, as 1 u- now that some of their best troops have not been thrown into the firing line. If Italy should enter the contest on the side of the allies it is very possible that Austria would give a much better account of herself against Italian troops than she has against the Russians." Capt. Fortescue was reminded that Ililaire Belloc, the noted authority on military affairs, had estimated that for the summer and autumn campaign this year the allies will be able to put 4,000,000 fresh troops fully armed into the field and that Germany and Austria will be able to put, only o, 000, OOU more men in. ""What do you think of these ligures?" he was asked. "There is no greater delusion in calculating the probabilities of war than that of numbers," he answered "It has been demonstrated again and again in the past that numerically inferior forces can defeat opponents of vastlv greater numbers. Therefore, w.- cannot place much reliance upon mere statistics. Tins statement as to the increased numbers of the allies is actually of little value, because on the nice of it, it makes for a difference of l.Ouo.000 men; and extraordinary as it may seem, the German superiority of organization might easily offset this advantage in mere numbers. Ammunition I omits. "To my mind the decisive factor in all lighting is ammunition and ammunition supplies. From what haY,c; seen in the held there is little to choose between men outside of three classes of courage. "There are the ordinarily brave, we will say first; the men who take the chances of shot and shell because thev are held to it either by a sense of dutv or fear of the officers, or the ciicumstances under which they are 1' rhtin'' ""After these come the men who go , i ..imI1tiv on the wot d of lorwaiu ii oini'-'.j - , , 1 Mtoi never calculate the , lUIIUIUlllll ..v. risks of a charge. "Bevond these we have the supirIntivcfv brave man who alone carries through some extraordinary feat, s i as that performed by Michael O Leary. V. C of the Irish guards. But it can almost be taken for granted that most men are brave. itii this in mind w4? must never be misled by mere figures." "Will the heaviest lighting of the next three month occur on theus,ian or on the Franco-Belgian front. was asked. . -Ml th indications point to a supreme effort of offensive on the part of the English and the French during the spring months." said Capt. Fortescue. "But there can be no oue-tion that there will also be severe fighting in the Russian theater m operations, it is almost imp';;. say where the most severe fighting will be. cLIfv Weak SlMI. .imi...u',.Iv thr t. resent nlan of the allies is to trv and engage as many of , the German corps as possioie in no coming operations and thereby give them the opportunity of breaking through the German line at some point. . . "Because in America we are almost entirely dependent upon English sources for our information as to the epilations in France and Flanders, we get a disproportionate view of the part that the English troops are Playing in the present line of combat, splendid as it must be conceded the English soldiers are. "Thiy cover not more than 40 miles of the 400 miles of front, but the publicity thoy receive is out of all proportion to the effect they may be expected to produce in the general result of the land lighting." "Do you look for a great decisive battle on either front or do you expect a general wearing down of the enemy by one side or the other?" Capt. Fortescue was asked. "Nothing is so uncertain as war, and anyone who tries to prophesy exactly what will be the result of future operations is simply guessing." he replied. "We can. however, take the cor.tin;:ei5ci s and resolve from them the probable outcome of operations for six months or even a year.. "In this conflict so many factors have entered into tactics and so great are the lines held by the different opposing forces that to try to fix upou

encounter is "Of course there will be a decisive enc-mnter. meaning an encounter that will influence one side or tho other toward initiating proposals tor peace. But to my mind it is very doubtful if there will be a decisive encounter In the si use of an overwhelming of a considerable force of troops of any of the larger nations. "I hae friends among the oilicers of the English. French. Belgian, Gorman, Russian and Austrian regiments. These are men with whom I have been able to discuss this subject almost as an academic problem. I must say that in my conclusions a number of these officers did not agree with me, especially my English friends; but in checking up. I find that the majority think the theory which I am about to state is probably accurate. Starve or Crush Germans. "Tho question of concluding the war as we now see it depends upon two factors, the starvation of Germany and the crushing of the German army; at least, these are the factors as seen from the point of view of the allies. The German point of view as to the conclusion of the war I would not venture to suggest, as there have been so many changes in the plans of their great general staff that at this moment it is almoct impossible to divine what they are driving at. "For the moment w will not touch upon the question of starving Germany out. Let us look at the possibilities of the French and English and Russians closing in on their common foe. "On the Russian side I know It will be a mosf costly operation to drive the Germans from the positions they now hold in Poland and East Prussia. An advance through Hungary, however, is feasible, and to refer back to this question of decisive victories, it is just possible that if the Russian forces are aide to cross the Carpathians in the coming summer and march on Buda-Pesth, that this will decide the outcome of the conflict. "So much has been said of what the French and tho English are going to do this spring and summer that it is on the western front that we must look for the most active operations. What immediately suggests itself is that these operations will demand an enormous toll in life. "It is the contention of the oilicers of the staffs of the French and English armies that during the last six months the German wastage approximates 200,000- men per month. These figures I have on the highest authority. Allies Now on Offensive. "Taking these very figures as our guide we apply them to the operations about to begin. Heretofore the Germans have always taken the offensive. Now the allies have begun to reverse the role. We have ;ieen their first effort in thf winning of the line of trenches aV Ncuve Chappelle. From this battle we can get an indication of the prcbable loss of life that will result when tho French, English and Belgian line moves forward. "Let us say roughly that the English lost 20,000 men in taking 4,000 yards of trenches at Xeuvc Chappelle. It is only a matter of calculation to see how costly an advance along the whole line will be. "The question that arises is, will this sacrifice of life be justified? 1 know that the Germans have three splendid lines of defense behind the one which they now hold in Flanders. These lines have been chose.n, of course, with an eye to their military requisite and the gigantic emplacements are reinforced with concrete; so, granting that it is possible for the English and Belgians to drive their foes out of the first line, they will find themselves almost immediately in front of another defense. As far as I have been able to find out. the same condition of defensive positions in the tear of the present lines exists where the German troops now are in France. This is also true of Poland. "So that it seems to me very possible that the loss of life will be so gre'i. granting an "ctive offensive, and the advantages from this offensive will be so small, that the nonlighting population will demand a compromise." "How does the artillery of the four great powers British, French. Russian and German compare; which is the best?" was asked. lYciich Field Guns Best. "The question of artillery is of supreme importance in the present wai of nositions." Capt. Fortescue stated. "In the early stages umiou utecuy me i French field gun was the most ef- j fectivc. Not only was the gun itself better than any other piece of the j armies. but the French artillery branch had been brought to the highest state of efficiency. In other words I did not find the French army up to the standard, but there certainly can be no criticism of their field artillery. "In the first phases of the war the Germans or, better. the Austrians had priority of heavy artillery fire. It was Austrian and not German guns that were of the greatest effect in the capture of Antwerp. The?e guns are HO. 5 or, according to American'measurcment. 12-inch gun?. "These weapons have been most effective on tho eastern and western fronts. I have seen the damage one of these tremendous shells brings about wherever it happens to land. It makes a crater seldom less than 10 feet deep and often more than 40 paces in circumference." cash riu.Ks roit divers At the Orpheum: 0 o'clock performance. Friday, with Conroy's Diving Models.
