OHIO WOMAN RECEIVERS
after STOMACH TORTURE

Mrs. Nora Brltton is well known in
Caldwell, O., where she has lived for
some time. Her many friends, who
know the suffering she has endured
from stomach trouble are marveling
at the sudden and astonishing i'm
provement In her condition.
Mrs. Britton credits her good for.
tune to trial of Mayr's Wonderful
Remedy, and describes her experience
as follows:
For four years suffered, no one
knows what. I had six doctors but
received no benefit. One said 1t was
catarrh Of the stomach, another rec
commended an operation. I had given
up all hope when saw an advertise

and decided to try 1t. Thank God, re-
lief came at last. can't say enough
for 1t. am pleased and thankful. I
am recommending it to every person

work in this country. At the same
time the union demands. In case the
order should remain In force, an In
crease Of thirty-fiye per cent In the
mems wages and the government is
considering the problem thus brought
forward as II affects the workers In
the government factories.
For many years some OF the Dutch
newspapers have been calling atten-
ton to the necessity OF establishing
efficient arsenals and ammunition
factories under Dutch state control to
provide sufficient war material for
the Dutch under all conditions, In
stead OF leaving the military forces
OF the country as hitherto dependent
on foreign contractors. Possibly as
a result Of this agitation, the state
since January, 1913, has possessed an
arms and ammunition factory on the
Hamburg at Amsterdam and an ar
senal at Delft. These state institu-
tons have been recently extended to
include the construction of certain
parts Of flying machines and sea
mines, but the entire output is based
on the requirements of the small
Much has been done since the De-
ginning OF the European war to
place the Dutch army in position to
cope with modern conditions OF fight
ing. Under the circumstances the
government deems 1t unwise to pub
lish even approximate figures as to
what has been done, but 1t may be
taken as fact that the Netherlands
are prepared for most eventualities
The army possesses a good rife,
rather light as compared with 9TH
ers In use In Europe. and the coun-
try has enough OF them to arm all its
trained infantrymen. Rifle ammuni-
ton, too. is on hand in satisfactory
quantities. reckoned on the basis OF
the immense numbers of cartridges
fired Off in modern engagements. Sew
eral private factories are engaged in
manufacturing still further large
quantities OF these as well as artil-
lery ammunition under the supervis-
ion OF the munitions committee Of the
government.
AS to the Dutch artillery, the army
experts have followed closely the op-
erations going on all around. They
have made their calculations as to the
number OF shells to have ready for
each piece of ordnance and in all
probability have provided for even
greater quantity of shells than were
considered Indispensable by the
French and German gunnery experts
before the opening of hostilities. Pro-
vision was then made by the French
for each piece OF field ordnance sent
on active service to be supplied with
The daily telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1901-1926, 1915-12-07

$40 shells. The Germans on the 9TH
er hand. calculated that 39S was an
ample supply. Both have proved al
most incredibly far below the actual
requirements and the Dutch gunners
are understood to have taken full cog
nizance OF this fact.
AS to the guns themselves, the
Dutch have come to the conclusion
that their artillery must be streng-
thened. and 1t is believed that much
has already been accomplished in this
direction. both as regards light and
heavy field pieces and machine guns.
The ordinary field guns in use in the
Dutch army do not differ very great
ly from the Austrian eight-centime-
ter weapons.
They have also very light field
piece OF six-centimeters caliber. handy
for use in broken ground. such as is
found everywhere in the Netherlands.
AS to the heavier mobile pieces, some
OF the fortress guns are capable OF be-
ing provided with field carriages and
In this way guns of ten, twelve and
fifteen centimeter bore could be plac-
ed in the field.
In Holland the nuns of the field
artillery have many times to be car
ried by water and the guns are often
exercised In this transportation. In
every irrigation canal are numerous
shallow flat-bottomed scows used for
the carrying over OF cattle and ma
nure. These are put to use by the
artillerymen. Two of them are plac-
ed side by side and made fast. The
gun and its carriage are then slipped
aboard along planks used as run
ners. each of the scows holding two Of
the wheels. In this way most of the
difficulties Of the ground, when cut
up by canals are overcome.
