SPARRING FOR OPENINGS
TACTICS or MODERN WAR. ("Times" and Sydney "Sun"; Services.) . London, October 28. The "Times" correspondent in France precedes a character sketch of General Joffre by a comparison of the Napoleonic iwars with the present war, and says: •"The aeroplane has robbed war of all the tactical interest attaching to oldtime wars. War now consists of a series of parallel movements. Armies turn about each other like, boxers in the preliminary stages of a bout, endeavouring to catch each other at a disadvantage. That is practically all the art in modern War; tlio rest is ding-dong battle, resistance, marching, and counter-march-ing. ,
