NEW WAR METHODS
URGED BY DAVIS
Secretary Instructs Officers
to Look Into Future
Rather Than Past.
*T th* Assoeistwl Fress.
American Army officers have been in
structed by Secretary Davis to try to
visualize the future battlefield and so
direct research, experimentation and
development as to assure the best pos
sible offensive and defensive action by
the field forces of the United States
should the emergency arise.
-In order that the Army may be pre
pared to fully carry out its mission in
an emergency," the Secretary said, it
Is mandatory that we look into the fu
ture with a view to the utilization ot
the most modern methods of war. lo
accomplish this, we must keep abreast
of development in science and in the
organisation, equipment and tactical
thought in foreign armies and to utilize
the best thought thereon in our own
Army,
Declared Lack of Foresight.
Tn the past most armies have ac
cepted the lessons of recent years as
the basis of preparation for the next
oar. This lack of foresight, in part,
occasions radical changes in the early
stages of war resulting in loss of time
and opportunity in the conduct of ac
tive operations, wastage of life and
public funds and delay in production
and procurement. These lasses and de
lay* we can minimize by forward look
ing study and experiment in time of
peace." . . .
Pointing out that a study and of
progress made since the World War
revealed that the Army is relying to a
large degree upon the organization, tac
tical formation and weapons used in
that war. the Secretary said there was
tome hesitancy in seeking for and ex
perimenting with Innovations that would
necessitate change.
Reports Ordered.
He directed experimental and de
velopment work and constant study and
research with regard to future prepar
ations. Chiefs of each branch of the
service were ordered to make semi
annual reports on the general progress
being made, lines promising develop
ment and analysis of latest known Im
portant developments, in foreign armies,
comparing them with American prog
