FUTURE WARS
UGLY FORECAST BY GERMAN GENERAL. CLASH OF AIR FORCES. TURNING INDUSTRY Filin’ PEACE TO WAR. (Received Friday, 5.5 p.m.) BERLIN, April 5. How future wars will be decided was described in a lecture by General von Seeckt, creator of the new German Army. He said: “The war of the future will begin with a clash of air forces, not against enemy cities or munition centres, but against one another. Only when one side has won a ■'"definite mastery of the air will the struggle on land begin. “The State of the future,” General von Seeckt added, “must have a highly efficient, well equipped and mobile nrofessional army. This force will absorb tho first shocks of war, while the massare being mobilised in rear.” General es of the population, already trained, von Seeckt thinks the problem of arms will be best solvable by means of State subsidies, enabling industry to . effect the most rapid change from peace to war production.—(Australian Press Association.)
