SHIELDS COMING BACK.
Inc German Army Believes in Them
for Field Artillery.

On the subject of protective shields
Tor artillery. Lieut.. Gen. Rohne, in a
letter addressed to the Neueste Mach
| richten. writes:
The successes achieved by the
krupp factory with it's shrapnels con.
tanning steel bullets against the pro-
tecting shields of field pieces seem to
have created the impression that the
protective value of the shields was
thereby rendered illusory. and the
shields. consequently, superhuous. This.
however, is very superficial judg-
ment, which fails to take into account
the special circumstances under which
the favorable effect was produced. The
shields, it must be explained, were only
pierced when the projectiles exploded
In the comparative neighborhood of the
object aimed at
AT a distance beyond so metres the
explosion does no more than impart
sumcient power to the bullets to pene-
trate through the shields, while the eff
rect of a shrapnel shot against unpro-
tected troops may still be called a good
one when the place of explosion lies
lao metres in front of the objects aimed
at. ana bullets from shrapnels may dis
aple troops even at an exploding dis
tance OF $50 metres and beyond. A
great number of shots which. if fired
against unprotected artillery, would
prove effective. will fail to do any harm
10 held pieces protected by shields. AT
the trials mentioned. when all cOndi-
tons were in favor of Il successful re-
suit, nearly half of all the hits
ricochetted from the shields without
making any impression on them
How much greater will be the pro-
lection in warfare when such favorable
conditions are never to be expected.
There is another circumstance which
must not be overlooked. Steel. as
everybody knows, is specifically lighter
than hard lead. the material of which
the present shrapnel bullets are manu-
featured. Steel bullets are. therefore
bigger than hard lead bullets of the
same weight. "A shrapnel Of equal di-
mansions cannot in it's interio- contain
as many steel bullets as lead bullets.
Other conditions being equal, less hits
Will. therefore, be scored with steel
bullets tnan with the present Shrap-
nels. If. therefore. an adversary, i'm
order to get projectileS piercing the
shields. adopts other shrapnels than
those now in use. the efficacy of his
projectileS against I'LL bodies of troops
will be diminished. In this way the
shields will benefit not only our ar
tillery, but also our other troops. In
stead of 500 lead bullets, the shrapnels
OF our opponent would only contain go
to 30 steel bullets; and in the same
proportion the hits scored by the
enemy would be diminished-that is to
say, the effect on unprotected troops
would be increased by 10 to Il per
cent.'-Berlin Dispatch
