PARIS, June 6.—Deputies Renaudel and Ferry have tntroduced in the Cham- ber of Deputies a proposal to create in the War Office a bureau which will 4i~ rect its activities to the development of the work of artillery in offensives. It will be similar to the Bureau in charge of the aviation service and will be based upon the importance at present and in future of attacking artillery The methods adopted by the Germans in their recent offensives in Flanders, Picardy and along the Aisne have brought about new developments in the use of field artillery. Light fleld guns, mounted on small wheels and capable of being moved quickly have been used. This feature of the!r work, together with thetr low visibility, has added me- terially to the success of the Germans’ campaigns this spring on the western front, according to military experts. ae feans can oot a tmuch sreater lors |a graduate of Harvard: He waa dea-| COX Joveph Downe, Kingmundy.| | Mechaniclan Herman H.\ Preteel, inflicted by their bullets on the|cended from the Jay family through|* 1, ; Meee Craticen 5, enemy. ‘They have borne thelr full| his mother and’ was a descendant, on! , Privates Nicolo longi, | Ita ave trata esata Cone ld a part in what a Krénch Staff Omcer}his father’s side, of Richard Morti- | CRUE C Antersow: Biasan Olly, tas Lites eens well qualified to judge described as|™er, who established mills in the| 001° ayer " puvaaie tea ee Pass or .
