British Headquarters in France. April 1 is not without difficulty that one comes to a realization that semi- i open warfare has replaced the old leep trench fighting on the greater part of the British front. It is difficult even for the fighting men actually to grasp the situation. The Germans possibly feel the change more than any one else, for above all things they love their underground comfort. The Germans were the first to transfer fighting to ditches and they are reluctantly giving up that style of 1 warfare.

Like Cover. The deep concreted dugouts and tun- nels along the old front were the only protection the Germans had against I the ever increasing British gun fire and every time they get an opportunity to pause now they immediately begin to i dig in. They take to cover as if by second nature. The British have al- ways contended that the German dug- outs softened the men who congregated in them always and could only be kept with difficulty in the open trenches. British Like Open I Open field tactics have been a part of the training of the new British army I i ever since it began in 1914.

There has i been some criticism of that system from time to time on ground that the would always be fought from trench to trench but for the last few months the British army in France has been drilled in open tactics almost i daily. The results of these training methods have been apparent in the last few days and will undoubtedly prove still more valuable in the wider opera tions which are unquestionably coming i tion during- the morning Saturday.
