Extreme Ranges Of
Trench Artillery

Correspondence OF The Associated Press)
DUNKIRK, Aug. ls.-The trench war
fare In France has made two distinct and
apparently contradictory demands upon
manufacturers of artillery-one for
weapons of extraordinary range. and the
other for guns which will drop a shell at
a shorter range than ever heretofore
used.
The German gunmakers, who are do
velopinG long range guns capable of
carrying a projectile from Calais to
Dover. are at the same time showing re-
markable ingenuity in making quaint
little mortars which will toss missiles con-
tanning high explosive about as far as a
fair foot ball player can kick goal.
The "minnenwerfer'' was the first OF
the short range weapons to meet the
British troops In France. ana IL was re-
garded as a very excellent weapon OF its
class But the newer German inventions
of similar character are a hundred times
more effective In deadliness and power
The so-cAlled "RuEu-jar' Is perhaps the
most feared OF the new German trench
mortars. II IL so named by the British
soldiers from the resemblance OF its

ATTACK ON LIQUOR LAW.
Brewers AIIsss Shipping Restrictions
Are Unconstitutional.

Des Moines, Sept. 21.-The constitu-
tionality Of the Iowa law which pro-
rides that the consignee must sign
personally at the express or freight
Office f0asliquor received. is being
tested IN tho case Of tho Hamm Brew
ing Company, Minneapolis, and Rock
Island Brewing Company, Rock Is
land III, vs. the Rock Island railroad.
which will be heard today in Chicago
in the federal court.
C. A. Robbins, assistant attorney
general, will represent the iowa de-
partment Of Justice. He will contend
that the law is valid and does not in
terfere with interstate traffic.
F. W. Sargent, attorney for the
Rock Island, will make defense for
the railroad.
In the petition filed in tho federal
court the brewing company complains
that the Iowa law which requires a
consiguee to go to the express or
freight Office and personally get liquor
shipped to him, has caused incon-
venience to the companies and has
served as severe check on business.
The plaintiff in this action says the
law is unconstitutional. It claims the
state Of Iowa has no right to place re-
strictions Of this character on inter-
state business.
The brewing companies want to
overthrow the law so that person
ordering liquor may send teamster
to the station for 1t. In this way the
man getting liquor does not have to
appear in the transaction in a public
Way.
