"That's where you're wrong, Billy, old scout," warned Bart.  "It stands to reason that he'll get away with something at first.  You take any one man, no matter how strong he is, and if ten fellows rush him all at once they're bound to drive him back at the start.  The Huns have got the advantage of knowing where they're going to strike.  We don't know and so we have to spread our forces out so as to be ready to meet him at any point.  Then, too, the man who comes rushing in has the advantage of the fellow who's standing still because he's got momentum. That's why generals would rather fight on the offensive than on the defensive.  They're able to pick the time and place and the other fellow has to follow his lead."
