ons; but officers are not satisfied that
the necessity of carefully preparing
the ground upon which the guns stand
when discharged has been done away
with. 1t is still job for engineers to
place these weapons and the long de-
lay necessary to permit the enplace-
ment of siege weapons, while a little
reduced is still factor in military
operations.
The United States is not contem-
plating the construction of very large
siege guns because the roads of the
country are not suited to carry such
enormous weights. The radius of &C
ton of the weapons would be limited
to the immediate vicinity of a few Of
the larger cities or to a highway here
or there that has been improved for a
long distance. In the event of invasion
it would be impossible to confine OPP
erations to territories best suited for
defense and the guns would be virtual
~ useless.
