PUT BATTERIES IN WHITE.
German Ruse When Snow Falls PuZ-
zles the French.

A device by which the Germans
have helped winter mask their bat
teries in the field in northern France
Is described in a letter written to the
Frankfurter Zeitung, by journalist
now serving as an artillery officer at
the front.
For weeks, he said, the German
batteries in shifting positions had
been hurting their iron hail against
the French near Lille. Then snow
fell, covering the landscape in white.
In vain the French officers on obser-
vation sought to discover the German
batteries as on the day before by
watching for the sun-glint on the
metal parts. Everywhere there was
but an unbroken stretch of white.
The Germans, the writer explains,
had turned each battery into white by
wrapping the wheels and gun car
riage with white towels, sheets, and
curtains and stretching white sheet
in front Of it. Suddenly centra,
patch in the white sheet was drawn
away, and the white nose Of the can
non was pointed upward through it..
The very artilleryman who touched it
off, the correspondent adds, was
dressed in white from top to toe in
ludicrous long nightgown, and the
entire battery and its crew were quite
indistinguishable amid the white of
the snow-covered landscape.

PREFER DREADNOUGHTS.
Naval Officials Put Their Faith In
Heavy Arrnor Ships.

Naval experts figure that it will re-
qulre an annual appropriation Of
$500, 600, instead Of the present
average S140, 100000 If congress de-
cides to add to the present type Of
American naval vessels a suitable pro-
portion of battle cruisers" such as
having played so prominent a part In
the recent naval engagements in Eu-
ropean and South American waters.
If the naval experts were requested
to choose between building dread
noughts or battle cruisers, they would
unhesitatingly turn to the dread
nought type, and it is stated by. prom
inent officials that nothing yet has oc-
Cured in the naval battles of the
present war to change their original
believe regarding the dreadnought's
superiority. They are quite wiling
to accept proper proportion Of bat
tie cruisers, but insist that the, first
requisite is the completion Of the
plan whereby the navy. is to possess
49 dreadnoughts.
Admitting the advantage Of high
speed possessed by the battle cruisers
in certain cases, naval experts feel
that they would stand no show what
ever against corresponding number
of dreadnoughts, because of the heavy
armor and tremendous defensive
qualities of the latter type. No Euro
pean feet could successfully attempt
to land troops or reduce the fortifca-
tions of the Atlantic seaboard so long
as the United States has even the q
battleships which now make up the
Atlantic fleet.
