  It must be borne in mind that this book deals with principles and examples of methods of warfare, and not fixed rules. There are no fixed methods in warfare. Development in warfare means change of methods or the invention of new ones to overcome military difficulties. However, one must have knowledge of past and present methods to be ready for the next logical step of development. October 26, 1917. From: Major O. N. Solbert, C. of E. To the Adjutant General, U. S. Army, through official channels. Subject: Publication of Lectures. I. Request authority to publish in pamphlet form lectures given at this camp on Trench Fighting. _ONSolbert_ Major, C. of E. Office of the Senior Instructor, Fort Sheridan Training Camp, Illinois, October 26, 1917. To the Commanding Officer: Earnestly recommending that the lectures referred to above be published in pamphlet form. I consider it most desirable that every graduate of this camp take these lectures with him, upon being commissioned. I do not believe that the best interests of the service will suffer, in any way by publishing these lectures. _Grover W Stacey_ Lt.
