Why Germans Could twenvy-seven. Senator Not Maintain Their Positions — (By Associated Press.) Paris, Oct. 24.—The question has been many times asked why the Germans with their great numbers and their overwhelming superiority in artillery, after having broken the resistance of the allies at Charlerol and penetrated to the very gates of Paris, were unable to maintain their positions. The military science of General Joffre certainly furnished one reply to that question but a military writer in the Liberte du Sud thinks there is another in the cumbersome character of the Ger- man heavy artillery. The famous German mortars, the “prummers,” are capable of firing & 14-inch shell ag long as a man of average height a distance of eight b4 |mllcs.

The second daughter is married to a Belgian who has likewise gone to serve his country. Two sons of the aged couple who are living in Germany are fighting under the German flag. : The war has greatly reduced the forces of the European missionaries located in Korea. Severai members of the German St. Bnedict Mission left for Tsingtau to serve either as soldiers or physicians. The French mission has lost ten of its members including Bishop Dumange of Taiku who has gone to France to serve in the army. Governor General Terauchi has arranged that full protection be given to Germans living peacefully here. Police inspectors have In- formed Germans living in their districts that information should be sent if Germans are insulted so that police protection may be given at they have come within reach of the “turcos,” it is almost impossible to replace them. Besides, it is neces- gary that the mortars be installed in a favorable position with well- laid foundations, consequently when pre-arranged plans are dis- turbed their efficiency is greatly re_ duced. It requires good roads also, and even then it takes forty-horse power to draw one of them, conse- quently they do not fit in very well with the equipment of an army that depends upon its speed to win, and rainy weather, of course, is not at all good for them. Again, their ef- fectiveness is neutralized when the French “75” is able to get inside its long range, and it does not stand long against the terrible hammering of which this gun is capable. Finally, thig expert thinks that in case of a forced retreat most of these heavy mortars are likely to be found by the French stuck in the S5 3 L P2PSIESTOLEEIEILIH4H08008 once.
