■CAREFUL OF MEN
IN THEIR COMMAND
) I
WASHINGTON, D. C., June 20.
11 in a comunication to the National
[ Geo.raphic society. Granville Fortes-
I cue, the military expert, draws a sharp
i distinction betwen the French and thej
' German soldier and the camaraderie
[ which exists between the French offi-
I cer and his men. compared with the re
i la tions obtaining between the German
[ officer and the boche private. A part
1 of the communication is issued by the
i society in the following bulletin of its
i war geography series:
“The wide, unbridgable chasm which
exists between the officer and the pri
> vate in the Germany company is but
the step of necessity in French battal
ions. French soldiers recognize the'
need for discipline, of the value of
team-work, and the urgency of obey
ing in battle, as the very foundation of
their worth as citizen soldiers. They
know also that they of their own voli
tion have created the authority behind
the officer, and for this reason there
can be nothing degrading in the sur
render of personal privilege in the
crisis of war.
“Discipline is not maintained
through fear, but by public opinion.
Flach private soldier recognizes that
l;is individual efficiency and effective
ness, and consequently the efficiency
and effectiveness of the whole French
army, is based on his prompt and in
telligent obedience of orders delivered
by military superiors.
“He knows that his officers are train
ed specialists in war, and he puts him
self freely in their hands, so that the
nation’s will in war may be accom
-1 lished. He understands the success- '
ive limitation of military authority— '
the private to the sergeant, the ser
geant to the lieutenant, the lieutenant
to the captain, the captain to the ma '
jor, and so on through grade after 1
grade up to General Petain, who in 1
turn is responsible to France. Wit’: !
this conception of his duty, the most 1
difficult part of military instruction is
readily instilled into the French re- i
cruit. <
"Thoroughly to appreciate the rela- ;
tions of officer to soldier in the French i
army they must be seen together in
the trenches. The captain watches j
over his men like a father. He shows |
a sympathetic understanding of their j
difficulties, while demanding in the ■
common cause a rigorous adherence to
their duties. The officer sets the high,
est standard of performance for him- (
self and exacts the best each of his
men can do. (
“But the soldier knows he can go to (
his officer with his private trouble and
receive helpful advice. He knows he j
will never meet wit hintentional in
justice. And what gives him supreme
confidence in the knowledge that he |
will be led with intelligence and skill
“The French officer is constantly
alert to take advantage of the enemy
and safeguard his own men. The
greatest crime in the officer’s calendar
is wantonly to waste the life of a
subordinate. Circumstances may call
lor the final sacrifice at times, but I
short of this condition the French ]
commander husbands the lives of his i
men as a miser his pieces es gold. In
an attack he will plan how they must
creep from shell-hole to shell-hole,
keeping as safe as possible from the
enemy’s artillery tire. He will studv!
’ lhe ground in front of his trench for I
'every available bit of cover, and so’
/maneuver his men that they will gain'
its every advantage. He will elaborate t
trench and sap until his men are a-.!
safe as the battle front permits, feel-1
ing his duty to his country demands
net only that he defeat the enemy, but;
that he defeat him with the minimum.
expenditure of the lives under his com
mand.
'Men learn quickly to appreciate this|
! quality in their officers, and this ap |
predation brings about a sense o'
loyalty which closely knits an army
i into an unbeatable whole.”
