POWERFUL SIEGE GUNS
SURPRISED EVEN GERMANY

Berlin. Sept. PA member OF the
German Parliament, who for nearly
ten years mas Deen connected with the
Army Budget committee Of the Reich
stag tells some interesting things of
the history OF the now famous 42-cen-
timeter siege guns which served the
German so effectively at Liege and
Namur.
The surprise that Germany pos
sessed such mortars," he says in an ar
ticle published by the Neue Zuercher
Zeitung, was as great In Germany as
1t was in other countries. After com
pletion OF secret tests with these guns
some time ago. and the decision of the
government TO order number of them,
1t was problem as TO how To keep the
matter "A secret.
over forty officers took part in the
discussions at which the military bud
get was prepared for submittal to the
Budget committee OF the Reichstag
When new clause was reached with
only the heading Arms" the chief OF
the department requested that for the
time being this subject could not be
discussed, AT the conclusion OF the
conference he told me in strict conn =
dence that the title Arms" involved
new siege mortars.
Cannot Wear Guns Out.
The general staff requested urgent
ly that not a word be said of the mat
ter in the committee; not even the
officers present had any knowledge
OF It.
Six weeks ago | visited an ammuni-
ton factory as a member of the arma-
ment commission and ascertained that
any number OF projectiles and cases
for these mortars could be produced
within very short time. In reply to
my question whether these mortars
did not wear out rapidly, director OF
the company said. There are not
enough fortresses in existence in the
whole world to wear out single NOR
tar As matter OF fact our army pos
sesses 5000 mortars OF an earlier date,
which are still usable."
The official North German Gazette
also discusses these new mortars with
special reference to their projectiles.
1t says:
IF a weapon OF the German army
has claim to popularity it is the AZ
centimeter mortars which in spite of
their huge dimensions have managed
to remain concealed. In fact, the nick
name Drummer" which has been
given to these mortars shows how far
this popularity has progressed. One
cannot be astonished that a shot which
hurls with accuracy weight Of eight
hundredweights over a space OF Ger
man mile To its goal causes an atmos-
pheric pressure which for miles
around hurls everything into the air
Reports have shown that the projec-
tile after it has left the mortar causes
a great noise only by cutting through
the air"

OF Magyars, bright -jacketed Hungar-
ians, galloped furiously down in close
order. 1t appeared as il nothing could
resist their impetuous course not even
the awful shrapnel fire OF the artillery
which brought death and destruction
into their ranks. nor even the rain OF
bullets from machine guns.
"The Magyars did not hesitate for
n moment, but continued to charge at
our trenches. one more minute and it
seemed as nothing would be left Of
our infantry.
WhirIwind OF Cossacks.
"All at once the thud OF hoofs and
the Gathering of steel were heard and
Magyars were met by a whirlwnd OF
Cossacks. For two hours the Aus
trian and Russian infantry watched
with beating hearts the scene Of ter
rible carnage.
AT the end OF this time, Of the
fine Budapest guard division not one
man was left. and the whole field was
strewn with the enemy's corpses, sew
cred heads, hands and legs and dead
horses.
"The commander OF the division.
Gen. F'rohreich, could not stand the
disgrace Of defeat. and show himself
on the field. AS was afterwards ex-
planned, he had promised to bring to
the Austrian emperor, on the latter's
birthday, news OF the complete de-

throwing his division onto the Rus

convinced that next day he would be
