MOST IMPORTANT LESSON OF THE WAR
GERMAN STAFF OFFICER'S VIEWS*. London, December .11. j An American journalist ■ interviewe'd General von Wild, Chief Quartermaster . of the German Army in France. . He.. said: "It has always been reckoned'' that in modern warfare, fighting would:} take place at a distance of from 800 to-f 1000 yards, instead of which, to the'; eurprise of the experts, it has mostly,! occurred at from 75 to 150 yards. With; modern magazine rifles, and machine"guns it is possible to allow the enemy; to approach within a short then open a terriffic ,and deadly fire/ I consider that that is the greatest faotor, and the most important lesson of the war."
