been 100000 bushels. This is
equal to the entire export during the
previous twelve months. The expec-

100000 in gold from other lands in
payment for the wheat. Not only will
the amount exported this year exceed
the export of 1913 by some 100000
bushels, but the price is much higher.
In addition to the wheat sold abroad,

 of well served and employed under proper conditions," the officer said, these guns are very effective, but their handling and transport is so difficult that this rarely is the case. Even forty horses harressed to the guns are unable to drag these giSGn- tic pieces over the French roads. soaked by the autumn rains, while the mechanism of the guns is so deli cate and complicated that it is ex- tremely difficult to replace lost parts.
 Again, while effective at distances, the big howitzers are comparatively harmless at close range, and the gun ners at the mercy of bayonet charges. Moreover. the shells nearly all burst too soon, too late or not at all. The troops quickly grasped the best method for dealing with these monsters. Once having passed the zone of their fire, the French, being handy with the 75-millimeter guns, sweep away the German artillerymen, and then charge. Already fair num- Der of the guns have been captured this way"
