Cologne, Dec. 22.-Russian artillery
has proven an excellent arm in de-
fensive and position fighting, but has
totally failed in offensive and mobile
manoeuvres, according to d German
expert who gives his views on the
subject in the most recent number of
the Militair- Wochenblatt. Tho same
authority comedies, however, that
the efficiency of the Russian artil-
lery had been greatly increased since
the Manichurian war. He also ad-
mits that in the German army Rus
sian artillery had been underrated,
and indicates that now all OF its
weak points are thoroughly under
stood.
The Germans think so highly OF
the Russian artillery ammunition that
they are at present modifying some
1900 field pieces at the Spadu arsenal
so as to suit them for 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 a large
quantity of shells for the former Ger
man field pieces, which had q calibre
about two centimeters greater than
the Russian guns which have been
captured. BY widening the rifling of
the Russian pieces the absolete shells
may now be used. Some 100 pieces
taken by the Austro- Hungarians are
being similarly adapted.
After pointing out that the Russians
have always had leaning towards the
defensive, the writer In the Militir-
Wocnenblatt gives a number of in
stances in the present war in which
this was demonstrated. The artillery
positions had been selected with the
greatest care and every possible eff
fort had been made to protect the
pieces and their crews. At rvangorod
1t was impossible for the Germans to
find the Russian batteries without the
most minute inspection with aircraft.
AS a rule the Russian emplacements
were well screened with bushes, and,
where those were hard to find, with
sod and often Iotato-greens. Wher-
ever possible the Russians would seek
the cover of woods and trees. and
often the batteries were hidden in
villages and the surrounding gardens.
In placing their artillery. he Rus
slams usually group the guns in half
batteries of four. This permits eff
ficient fire control and gives the OBJ

Washington, Jan. 1S.--J. Pierpont

situation with the president and in
formed the president that conditions
were improving. He mentioned incid-
entally the credit of $12.OOO,00O estab-
lished by the Russian government in
the United States through Morgan's
banking firm. 1t is understood Morgan
informed the president that the in
crease in American exports to Europe
recently greatly reduced the debt owed
in Europe by Americans at the out
break of the war and as a result con-
ditions were progressing favorNbly.
Morgan explained his firm had not
arranged for a direct loan of money to
Russia, but debts owed by Russia in
this country for the purchase of sup
plies, would be met through Morgan &
