Country life In England, for which
England is famous, is one Of the real
victims of war. The country gentle

find the British castle and manor
market overstocked with a still
heavier supply OF mansions and small

along the shores of the historic Avon

North England, Scotland and Wales,
and could have his choice from among
twenty types of architecture, historic

WARSAW, Aug. s.-(By mail.)-
Small arms and bullets are playing
no role in the present war. The rife
is the infantryman's toy. The infan-
tryman does not fight. When the big
guns have finished, the infantryman
merely scrambles into the trenches
they have won and occupies them"
This. is the statement OF Surgeon
Major Lesghintseff, who has Just re-
turned from the scene of the big battle
in Galicia.
"Seven-eights OF the wounds are
from shells. half of these from big
calibre shells and the rest from field
howitzers and field guns
The shell that the Russians most
fear is the Skoda AZ centimetre pro-
Ijectile weighing $500 pounds. They
are known to the soldiers as "pilsen-
!ers." The normal pro1ectory OF the
Skoga gun is Az miles high and IN
soft ground the shells penetrate TWEEN
ty feet before exploding. The "pilsen-
ers" are howitzer guns and the pro-
jectiles except in diameter do not rep,
resent the famous Krupp AZ cent?
metre shells, also used by the Ger
mans
Describing the effect Of "ptlsener"
shell, the surgeon said:
ut kills everyone within $50 yards
and kills others who are further of.
The mere pressure Of gas breaks in
the partitions and roofs Of bombproof
shelters. Scores Of men, who escape
metal fragments, stones and showers
OF earth. are killed, lacerated or blind
ed by the pressure OF gas. Men who
are only short distance away are
torn asunder. Sometimes only the
clothes are stripped Off Or men close
by, not a fragment remains, the
clothes disappear and only small
metal articles are found. If the shell
Is very near. the explosion me1ts rifle
barrels as if they were struck by
lightning. Men who disappear in
such explosions are often reported
missing, as there is no proof OF their
