TO SECONDARY PLACE.
INFANTRY IN WARFARE. (Br CABLK-FBipS ASSOCIATIOK-COPTMOHT.) (AOSTBALUH AND CABLI ABSOCIATIOK.) LONDON, March 9. Field-Marshal Sir G. F. Milne, referring to the mechanisation of th*3 Army, said that it was impossible not to be thrilled by the possibilities opened up. "The British Army," he said, "has now found something which has relegated infantry and horsemen to a secondary place in warfare. They will in future be merely 'moppers-up' and ground-cleaners, or else they will go to fight in countries which are motorproof. One absorbing problem of mechanisation is the question of fuel."
