THE PROPER WAR TACTICS.
It is fortunate that the war authorities have at length recognised that the proper course is to thoroughly cannonade the enemy for days before the infantry is rushed to the attack, for, as General Gataere found when the enemy opened on him at point blank, such a situation without artillery is the very mouth of hell. The inclination of the tyro in battle is to duck his head to the harmless distant bullet, fix his bayonet, and rush on the foe. Many lives will be spared by the new tactics, so, at least, says the Haw-era “Star,” and the “Graphic” agrees.
