As the batteries now contain only four pieces instead of, six as at the beginning of the war, the calculation of the power of the | artillery in the fleld must be based on the number of guns rather than ‘that of batterles. Whereas in 1914 ‘the German army possessed only 3,- 863 leld guns it now disposes of 8.- 000 if the minimum figure of 2,000 batteries with which it was furnished ; .at the end of 1916 is taken as the basis of calculation. These field artillery batteries diylded into two kinds—those armed with the 77-centimetre cannon (the 8-inch) and those armed with light 4-inch fleld howitzers. The German 3-inch cannon has been much im- ' preved and its range greatly increased ; sinos 1914. As to the German heavy artillery, ; the increase in the number of pieces 2 ! will convey oil direct from the Ru- has been even greater in proportion than that of the field artillery. In peace-time the German empire organized twenty-four regiments of heavy artillery. Each regiment was composed of two battalions of ' batteries ,and each battery was armed with four guns, thus totalling 768 heavy guns. ' An_soop as the army had been mo- PiHzed {n 1914, the German military authorities established new heavy ar- tillery formations. Soon each artil- lery regiment of the regular army had attached to it a reserve regiment of four batteries of skilled gunners, also a battalion of four batteries of landwehr, or second reservists, and, finally, a battallon of four batteries formed from among the third reser- vists or landsturm. When the arsen- als and shell factories later had yesched a higher level of production guns and ammunition further bat- gfl” were formed from among the :nen of the Ersatz reserve. Since the first year of the war large numbers of the recruits of the younger classes which have been called out for serv- fcec have been sent to the artillery At ' present it is composed of 2,000 bat- are had | of | stance, and now has twenty batteries | of mountain guns, six pieces of 3-inch A glance at the strength of the Ger- | ¢ 1libre rapid-fire to a batte: mc | and also has formed several batteries of 4-inch mountain howitzers. Trench artillery as well has been a dovelopment of this war, and the Ger- man army i capons of various kinds for advanced lines. Its trench mor- tars range in calibre irom 3 inches to 10 inches. Finally, the mall trench cannon of 1 1-2-inch, 2-inch and 2 1-2-inch calibre have become very numerous in all sectors of the line. The personnel of the gunnery branch of the German army has be- come nearly as great in numbers as that of the infantry..

Interesting Letter from Correspondent at Petrograd. (Corvespondence of The Associated Press.) London, Nov. —Writing immedi- ately after the Maximalist caup in Pe- the Daily Telegraph's former Petrograd correspondent, now in London, said: “One of the most disquieting symp- toms in revolutionary Russia is the devaluation of the rouble. It is no longer merely an international matter as it was during the earlier phases of the war. The cause then was the practical cessation of Russia's export trade and her conscquent inability to pay with goods for her vast imports of war material. Now it is mainly due to the flooding of the country with paper money. “The depreciation shows itself in a stupcndous rise of prices and wages. The chairman of one of the largest business federations in Russia stated that the government was having to pay 150 roubles cach for it contracted for at 64 r In the London market y rouble exchange went up to as much as 380 roubles per ten pounds sterling, making the value of the rouble barely sixpence. Tn exchange circles it was reported difficult to deal at that figure and Wwith regard to the output of pa- per money in Russia it was reported the inflation is now greater than ever and amounts to as much as one hun- dred million roubles daily on the basis of the normal exchange.
