COLOGNE, Jan. 2i-Russian ar.
tillery has proven an excellent arm in
defensive and position fighting, but
has totally failed in offensive and
mobile maneuvres, according to. a
German expert who gives his views
on the subject in the most. recent
number Of the Military Wochenblatt.
The same authority comedies, how.
ever. that the efficiency Of the Rus.
sian artillery had been greatly in.
creased since the Manchurian war.
He also admits that In the German
army Russian artillery had been un.
derrated. and indicates that now all
OF its weak points are thoroughly
understood.
The Germans think so highly Of the
Russian artillery ammunition that
they are at present modifying some
1,2O0 field pieces at the Spandu ar.
senal SO as to suit them for a large
store Of captured ammunition which
could not be used with the present
German calibre.
The calibre of the German field
gun is two centimeters less than that
of the Russian and for this reason the
captured ammunition could not be
put to use Immediately. There Is
stored in the German arsenals largo
quantity of shells for the former Ger.
man field pieces, which had cali.
bre about two centimeters greater
than the Russian guns which have
been captured. BY widening the
rifling Of the Russian pieces the OBJ.
solete shells may now be used. Some
200 pieces taken by the Austro-Hun.
garians are being similarly adapted.
After pointing out that the Rus,
slams have always had a leaning to
wards the defensive, the writer in
The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1915-01-26

the MISUNDERSTANDING gives a
number of instances in the present
war in which this was demonstrated.
The artillery positions had been Sc
lected with the greatest care ana
every possible effort had been made
to protect the pieces and their crews.
At Ivangoror it was impossible for
the Germans to find the Russian bat.
teries without the most minute in.
spection with aircraft.
AS a rule the Russian emplace.
ments were well screened with
bushes, and, where those were hard
TO find, with sod and often potato.
greens. Wherever possible The Rus,
slams would seek the cover Of woods
and trees, and aften the, batteries
were hidden in villages and the sur.
rounding gardens.
In placing their artillery. heRus,
slams usually group the guns in half,
batteries Of four. his permits eff,
cient control and gives the obserya'
ton officer a far greater value than
he would have IL directing the fire Of
single pieces.
Fieldglasses which were taken
from observation officers and others
as well as a mass of other purely
technical evidence, convinced the
writer that the equipment of the Rus,
sian artillery reconnaissance Is very
intelligently divided into small sec
tors, each OF which contained no less
than 4S points tplaces which the
shell is supposed to strike.)
During the first weeks Of the war
the Russians increased the number
of their heavy field howitzers, until
each army corps had three batteries
of four pieces each. Before that
these heavy field howitzers were de.
tailed with the armies Ia larger unit
than the army corps) each army hay.
ing from three to four batteries.
After reciting a number of per
sonal experiences which left no doubt
as to the efficiency of the Russian
artillery field intelligence service and
fire central the officer gives his views
OF the value of the Russian artillery
in offensive or mobile manoeuvres.
"Where unknown terrains and sud,
den developments require quick
orientation the Russianartillery has
always failed completely" says the
writer. "In all such cases the bat,
teries shot wildly and without sys-
TEN by which the field to be taken
under fire was to be divided. One
could hardly believe that 1t was the
same artillery. Even the serving Of
pieces appeared different"
Usually the Russians have little
trouble moving their guns and ammu-
milton wagons over the worst OF
roads, and even through swamps,
attests the writer.
