France’s ‘good right arm in her greatest war is of steel. She places her main dependence upon her ar- tillery service, for which her infan- try and cavalry are but supports. At his time the eyes of the military world are centered upon that artil- lery. No one doubts the skill of the Prench gunners, but the experts be- lieve that in the clash of the armies it is the guns that will turn the vietory. And the French cannon are scientific marvels involved in a sort of romantic mystery. In the recent Balkan war the Servian ar- tillery service was equipped largely with French guns, directed 'by French officers. The Turks had German guns and German artillery- men. In nearly every instance where a French battery faced a Ger- man battery the French fire seemed " to do greater execution. That seem- ed to support French claims. There remains, however, the test of a ‘great battle, French against Ger- mans. Then the world will know whether the French guns will per- form the miracles of slaughter ex- pected of them. Few foreigners have ever set eyes on those guns, and it is doubtful whether any have ever | handled them. They are made in secret. They are guarded from hos- tile observation even on the battle- field. Not one piece is ever per- mitted to fall into the hands of the enemy. If a gun must be abandoned the crew first dismantles it. The complicated mechanism of the light, quick-firing gun is held together by |~ a little key-piece called a “‘clavette.” It takes but a moment to withdraw the key, and the piece is not only put out of commission but falls apart in such wise that there are| prebably not .100 living men eap- able of putting it together again— and they are Frenchmen sworn to ‘secrecy. The field ‘piece has a crew of 'six-men and is drawn by four horses. Its bore is 75 millimeters, or 3.2 inches. If reports are true, it is by far the most accurate and destructive gun ever invented. It is planted in a protective spot, in & diteh or behind a hill. The offi- cer in charge stands, with field glass, on some high spot and direets ‘the~firing. A word or a gestures gives the direction and approximate range of the enemy. A gunner punches figures stamped in the rim of the breech, almost as a conductor ~ ipuwiehies a ticket, and the powerful weapon: thereupon aims itself, with absolute precision of range. The shell bursts over the heads of the enemy, about 45 feet in the air, re- ftegsing a hail of down-ward plung- ingibullets. The gun automatically moves to right and left a little in action, giving a breadth of effec- _jthousand dollars from-our. delinquent ‘dispatches the \wise observer look for. artmery news.

That murderpus storm- of lead shatters and erawes whole regiments, particularly when infantry advances in close forma- tien, as-the Germans did at Liege. ‘There- are six such guns to every 1,000 ‘French ‘soldiers. That means 30;000 of them if the war strength of 5,000,000 is reached. The 155 millimeter gun, a stand seven-inch piece, is said to be the most terrible of all big cannon. It is called “Le Rimailho,” for the inventor. Like the-smaller gun, is non-recoiling and:l automatic. The principle on which w1t works is supposed to be known to ‘only about a dozen men. It can wipe ‘out a company on horses of foot' at a distance of eight miles. “‘The French are creators of the ‘‘in- #lirect fire” system, and in the use “'of "this ‘gun they have reached the maximum of modernity. The can- non is concealed behind a hill or em- bankment and is fired under the di- réction of an aviator who observes, “the position of the enemy and wig- wags his instructions to the com- manding officer, who watches him with a field glass. Under the fire of such guns an exposed foe faces an- -.pifilation.
