FRENCH ARTILLERY BETTER
THAN GUNS OF ENEMY
Worth of Creusot Proved and Superiority Over Krupp
Pieces Given Reason for Confidence of
Men Fighting for France.

The Creusot, on the other hand,
pivots on the "spade"-that part of the
trail which touches the ground. The
line of recoil is identical with that of
the trail, which absorbs it. The gun
cannot "unpoint" itself and resighting
is unnecessary.
These differences are almost as APP
parent in maneuvres as they would be
in battle, but they are re-enforced
by another. which can only become
known in actual conflict, i. e.. when it
would be most disastrously felt.
The Krupp is brought back into bat
terry, i. e., into its original position
after recoil, by spring, and this spring
gets worn out. The faster and more
continuously it is used the quicker it
goes. II will eventually break, but long
before it breaks it will have to be re-
placed, because it loses the strength
to push the barrel-the tube" it is
called-back into battery; and if this
isn't done fresh sighting must be made
for each shot.
"Change the spring" Good advice in
camp-but in the field? Under fire?
IL has a pressure CT 900 pounds, and
it's a four-man, twentyminute job.
The Creusot is brought back into bat
terry by compressed air. There is no
record of its getting out of order, even
in the rough work in the Balkans, and
it comes back perfectly each time.
The gun is good, the best in the
world, but the gun is not the French
artillery. They bre body of men who
have been taught to think that the
safety, even the existence, of the coun-
try depends on them.
Major George 7. Langhorne, who has
followed the maneuyres of both the
French and German armies, unites with
other observers in citing their quick
ness at getting into action fifteen to
twenty seconds faster than the Ger
mans; their negotiating rough country,
their singular facility for indirect fire
where the target is not visible to the
gunner.
This method of fire is used by them
almost exclusively, the Germans cling
ing largely TO the direct, where the
gunners can see the enemy and be seen
by him. Other differences there are of
minor note, but the sum of them all,
according TO American critics, is this:
They are quicker and more accurate
than thlir enemy, and in action they
are invisible.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1914-08-11

The French attitude toward the
storm which has at last broken over
them, and which they have for forty
years counted inevitable, has of late
been coolly confident; and if you ask
them why they point with cool assur-
ancc to their artillery. On this they
depend to Offset the numerical and
engineering superiority of their OPP
ponents. They have used their artil-
lery in Morocco, and the Servians and
Greeks have used it in the Balkans;
and the more enthusiastic of them will
tell you that it will change the map
of Europe and give them back the lost
provinces, Alsace and Lorraine.
1t is interesting TO compare the
French piece with the Krupp, a dupli-
cate of which is used by the United
States army.
The first and most obvious basis Of
comparison is as to speed of fire, and
in this the superiority o. the Creusot
is decisive. 1t is capable of throwing
thirty shells minute to tie Krupp's
twelve. This is due to a more per-
feet ejector, which throws the shell
we'll clear of the gun, and to the fact
that it does not have to be thrust, by
hand, into the breech. The shell. in
stead, is laid on a steel slid behind
the breech, and one motion of a lever
thrusts L home and closes The block.
The operation is mechanical, the factor
of human error being eliminated. The
slide, which is concave, is so large that
the she'll can be put in position by a
good "No. a" with his eyes shut.
Multiply the speed obtained by more
perfect loading and ejecting by the fact
that the Creusot, 70 NM, does not
"unpoint" itself, as does the Krupp,
even when worked at high speed The
reason is simple: the X + pivots on
centre directly over the axle. When
shooting to the side the line OF recoil
differs, possibly as much as 30 de-
grees, from the line % the rail, which
should absorb recoil. Thus in firing
toward the right the line of recoil
will be TO the left of the trail, and if
the left wheel be on slippery ground,
or even a few inches below the right
wheel, six rounds will force the gun
out Of its original position and compel
resighting.

u. s. MUST FEED
WARNING EUROPE
The Triple Entente Could
Starve the German
Austrian Allies.

Washington, Aug. 10.-The apparent
case with which the Triple Entente
could starve out the German-Austrlan
lilies through control of the sea 10
strikingly illustrated in statistics now
being prepared by the Department OF
Agriculture. These same statistics
also show that of the Triple Entente
Russia alone produces food products
more than sufficient for her own needs.
Furthermore, the statistics show that
an the allies will be very largely de-
pendent upon the United States for the
food with which to MAINTAIN their
ermies.
OF the six nations at present en-
broiled only one produces
more wheat than il consumes. All the
cthers import wheat for home con-
sumption.
Aside from Russia, only two nations
produce more cereals of any kind than
thew consume. All others, excepting
GERMANY and Austria-Hungary, are
forced TO import all cereals for home
consumption. Germany exports 1,oo4'-
cor bushels of rye annually, and Aus
tria- Hungary raises 19,646,5 75 bushels
more of barley annually than is con-
sumed within her borders.
In meat products, the countries al
lied with the Triple Entente produce
nearly twice as many cattle and hve
times as many sheep as do Austria
Hungary and Germany combined. The
Teutonic allies, however, produce about
one-third more swine than their enc"
mics.
Germany and Austria Hungary, with
a total population of 1892, 740, face
an annual shortage in wheat of 72,446,-
46s bushels The average yearly con-
sumption per capita for these two
countries is 3.99 bushels under ordi-
nary circumstances.
The countries of the Triple Entente
face a net shortage in wheat OF ss,-
2l5.942 bushels spread over popula-
ton of 25O,l42,525. The average per
capita consumed annually for the coun-
tries which do not export is 7.73. Rus
STA alone Of the countries IN the Triple
Entente exports 150,S75, 900 bushels Of
wheat annually. The United States was
the second largest exporter Of wheat In
the world until this year. Her bumper
crop is expected TO place us in the lead,
with A mark far above the 2OO,OO0,OO0-
bushel mark.
Here are figures showing the cereal
situation with the warning nations:

TO AID COTTON MEN
Government Market Supervi'
sion Plan Before House.

Washington, Aug. 10.-A complete
revolution in methods of marketing
cotton was proposed to-day as a means
of relief from the depression threat
ened by the closing of foreign markets.
The plan was laid before the House
Agricultural Committee by experts of
the Agricultural Department.
It contemplates government super
vision of marketing, federal standard
ization of grades and the establish
ment of a system of warehousing to
make baled cotton a solid basis for
credit to growers and enable them to
finance their crops until advantageous
arrangements can be made for market
ing.
II is proposed to carry out the plan
through amendments 20 the Lever bill,
row before the House committee,
which provides for federal supervision
of cotton grading and the fixing Of
federal standards for cotton.

GREAT RRlTAIN-IMPoRTs.

Virtually all Of The cereal items are
on the export side of Russia's ledger.
Aside from an export of more than
$1,000, 600 bushels of wheat, her corn
export runs upward Of 100000 bush
els, and her oats export is one of the
greatest in the world.
In contrast to the figures for all
countries except Russia, statistics for
the United States show that of the
cereals named we import only rice, and
a comparatively small quantity of that.
On the other hand, our exports in many
cases exceed the imports of some Of
the larger countries. Here are the fig
ures for the United States:
