Editor the Missourian:-The con-
cert given by Mrs. Epstein of St
Louis is quite above the criticism OF
anyone but an artist. 1t could only
be said justly that those that heard
her were very favored.
The audience was very apprecia-
tive as was certainly the case with
the st. Louis trio of week ago. In
both Mr.. Gauntlet continues to win
the laurels of praise all are rightly
willing to give.
1t is very evident that the students
of the Summer School are grateful
to the University in planning the
splendid concerts. If it were possi-
BILE the students would be glad 20
show their appreciation for the pleas
ant evenings planned for them with
the best of music obtainable. These
concerts have done much to bring
really good music to those that may
not otherwise have the opportunity to
hear it. The music faculty certainly
could grant no greater favor than con-
tinuing this popular move for the
next Summer Session of the Univer-
sity.-W. F. B.

UNIVERSITY MISSOURIAN
Thursday, July %, 1915) ),
AUsTRIA,s GREAT SIEGE GUN.

So much has been said of the pow
er of the German 42-centimeter gun
that it has been considered without
an equal. Many stories have beel
told of the great destructiveness of
this cannon and of the resourceful-
ness of its inventors, the Krupps.
But now comes the statement that
much of the work credited to the Ger
man gun was performed by an Aus
train gun known as the Skoda. The
reduction of the forts at Liege. Namur
and Antwerp, instead of being accom-
plished by the Krupp gun, was the
work of the Skoda.
The Skoda has a diameter of IL
inches and fires ten miles a shell
weighing sos pounds. Like the shell
of the 42-centimeter, it first pierces
the object, then explodes. The big
advantage of this cannon over any
others of its kind is its mobility. 1t
is carried on three big motor trucks
which travel twelve miles an hour.
When the desired location is reached
a platform in sections is unloaded
and placed in position. The gun IS
then mounted on this foundation. and
in about an hour after the operation
starts the first shell can be speeding
on its way.
If scouts report the advance of too
large a force of the enemy, the big
gun can be dismounted in forty min
