ARMY OFFICERS
WATCHING WORK
OF ARTILLERY
EVERY NEWS DESPATCH MAKING
MENTION OF GREAT GUNS OF
GERMANS is READ CLOSELY
AND PHOTOGRAPHS STUDIED
WITH THE GREATEST CARE.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

| Washington, Nov 26.-In common
/ with the military observers of every
other nation, United States army off,
| GERS are watching with keenest inter-
est the artillery development of the
/ warning nations of Europe as disclosed
upon the battIefeIds of Belgium and
France. Every news despatch that
mentions the great German guns is
read closely and photographs are
studied with greatest care; but so far
nothing conclusive has been found to
confirm the report that the Germans
are placing their main reliance upon
forty-two centfmeter mobile howitzers.
American officers believe that the
| Germans have accomplished the de-
struction of opposing forts with STAN
dard eIeven-inch howitZers~and mod
ern high explosives which are virtually
4he same for all nations. The key to
| German successes of this character,
they say, lies in the thoroughness with
| which the work is done and the &C
curacy of their shooting with eleven
| inch weapons.
Photographs of the forts before
Liege, Namur, Antwerp and elsewhere
in the war zone show turret forts COM
pletely wrecked by German fire. There
is nothing to indicate, however, that
the damage was inflicted by eleven
inch or even smaller shells, ordnance
experts believe. The enormous de-
structive force of these shells has been
well known ever since the fall of Port
Arthur in the Japanese Russian war

are distributed through a thickness of
over 500 feet of strata, some occur
ring near the base of the coal bear
ing formation. some nea the top, and
s'!Ii others at intermediate points. In
places there are at least six work
able coal seams separated by a'great-

mines in North Dakota are located at
Sims. where mining has been carried
on since 1884.
The volume contains a report on the
physical features Of the region about
Devils and Stump lakes. These fea-
lures are shown to have their origin
very largely in the work of the great
continental ice sheet or glacier which
once covered most Of the state, and
the influence Of the glacier in pro-
ducing the present topography is dis
cussed. Particular attention is given
to the interesting history Of Devils
lake as interpreted by it's several
beaches. the highest about forty feet
above the present lake level. 1t is
shown that both Devils lake and
Stump lake formerly had outlets to
the south into the Sheyenne river.
