SMALLEST SHELL = COSTS $6 (Correspondence of the Aasociated Press.) BERLIN, July 2.<The asionishing shell-consuming power of modern ar- tllery s discussed by General Heinrich | Rohne In an Interview published by the Vossische Zeitung, “In the war of 1870 says General Rohne, “no German battery fired more than 20 rounds In one battle from each of its guns. A Russian battery fired £22 rounds for each of its guns at the battie | of Tuschitschao. The use of ammuni- | tlon in the present war puts all these figures in the shade. “During the whole Franco-German war the German artillery fired 817,000 rounds, a tenth part of which was uded in the battle of St. Privat. In the Russo-Jape: nese war one #ide used a total of 954,000 shella, “'On March 10 German headquarters an- nounced that the enemy during the pre- ceding fortnight had fired off an im- mense amount of heavy artillery of ita own and of American manufacture, often using more than 100,000 shelld in twerity- four hours, Thia {a three times ag much A was used in the battle of St. Privat on a front almost twice as long. The number of shots that were fired at a yard of front was six tlines as large an in the year 1§70 in the hottest battle of | the war. “Nearly 30,000 shells were: fired at_the north of Arfas on June 17. This was al- most as much as the whole fifé“of the German artillery in 1670, On the German side we used our ammunition more spar- ingly, because the American factories oannot add to our supplies.
