Country Is Best Situated of All

Factor Then Bullets or Bayonets

In the present war, as in all wars
the armies are moving on their stom-
achs. Bullets and bayonets are the
features 10 which the mind Of the lb-
lie turns for sensation. but as a matter
OF fact they are the least important
factor of war. First of all comes ne
problem OF the commissariat.
Success in the present conflict
therefore, is TO depend On food supply.
Hence the preparation OF the several
nations i'm the matter OF comr ariat
becomes OF supreme importau-,.
OF the countries now enlisted
against each other, those that are
self-supporting are Russia, France,
Austria HungarS,and Servia. England

so far as supplies are concerned.
Whether or not she can support her
SELF is matter OF conjecture. The
fact that her forces are now i'm retreat

a Battle of Bio Guns,

In actual battle the guns of a bat
terry are lined up and one loaded cais-
| son is placed next TO each gun. The
entire battery is behind cover, and
generally can not see the targets. The
fire is directed by each gunner aiming
on designated aiming point, with an
instrument set at a given DETECTION,
so that the gun will actually point at
the target. This DETECTION is calculated
by a triangulation method by the bat
terry commander, who is located some
distance away from the battery either
on elevated ground, on ladder, or in
tree.
The German system OF obtaining the
detection is to measure the angles
carefully, by means OF Instruments,
thereby attempting To make the first
shots effective while the tendency Of
the French system is to estimate the
first detection fire quickly. and by
observing the shot. make necessary
corrections for succeeding shots. The
ranges are obtained by self-contained
base range finders which are accurate
within 200 yards for 5000 or 5000 yard
ranges.
Within the last few years the subject
OF equipping the field artillery with
larger caliber siege guns and howitzers
has been given extended studies.
The object OF howitzers is mainly to
fire "A heavier projectile with a lower
velocity at much higher elevation
and longer range. Assume, for in
stance, the onemy's infantry entrench-
ed behind cmbankments. With high
velocity the trajectory Of the prOjec-
tile for given range is very fiat. so
that the troops would be able to sit
behind the cover, and have all projec-
tiles either strike the embankment or
pass over their heads. For this emer-
gency battery OF howtZers is called
into action. BY reducing the charge
the projectile mdS be started at
higher elevation, which causes the
projectile to fall to the ground i'm
much more nearly vertical path. and
enables it TO be dropped back of the
embankment.
AS a concrete example, assume the
enemy's infantry behind earthen cover
at 5000 yards. The slope of fall of the
French projectile at that range would
be about degrees. or on s: this
gives considerable space behind
wall that would be practically immune
from the artillery fire.
BY calling a Al inch howitzer bat
terry for this work, the artillery com
mander may fire a so pound projectile
with 900 feet per second muZzle vel
ocity, which would give him at 1000
yards slope of fall of / on 4.3. or he
may remove some powder from the
charge and fire the projcctile at 62O
feet per second muzzle velocity. which
would give him n slope OF fall at 1000
yards of to is, with which it would
he practically impossible for the enemy
to remain behind the cover.
Another object Of these heavy can
non, is that battery can be put i'm
position 70 sweep large field, and
with It's long ranges prevent the enc
my's lighter artillery from coming
within effective reach.
The velocity Of these howitzers is
practically the same for all countries,
and is about 900 feet per second for
the longest zones, while the calibers
are approximately 3.s inch with 80
pound projectile, "a inch with a GO
pound proJectile, and inch with a 12O
pound projectile.

similarly, the ideal medical service for
without encumbering the fighting fore
es with supplies. equipment. and nom
combatant personnel, would appeal on
the battlefield at the desired moment,
render first aid to the wounded and
whisk them away, in fairy like man
ner. out of the zone of combat, to a
place where all the comforts OF civili-
zation and all facilities for their treat
ment and the best medical and surgical
skill obtainable are at hand.
Absolute realization OF these ideals,
either for an army or for a medical
service, is, of course, unattainable. An
army must have a supply service. a
telegraph service, and a medical serv-
ice operated by men who do not carry
rifles and who are unavoidably an i'm
pediment; but their presence is justi-
fed by the purely military ADVANTAGES
which the army gains by their serv-
ices. Thus it is universally conceded
that the morale of troops is improved
by the knowledge that they have with
them even a very limited number of
medical attendants. Every military
leader desires, of course, TO provide his
men with every comfort which it is
practicable for them to have without
impairing to an unwarranted degree
the lighting power Of his army and
each desires the most efficient medical
service il is possible To obtain with a
limited allowance Of personnel and
commitment
