Of ENDURANCE
Open Field Tactics Aban-

High Explosives and En-

LONDON, June Ever since the
German army burrowed into the
ground after its retreat from the
Marne to the Aisne the war in the
West has assumed peculiar char

one another, but an interminable fight

breastworks, which stretch from the
North Sea coast to the foot OF the
Vosges.
Communications between the fire
trenches In front and the supporting
line were made 80 that troops could
relieve one another without exposure.

In consequence.
The difference between field guns
and howitzers lies in this: A field

fires with a much lower velocity, the

Howitzers can fire shrapnel shells, but
more often throw shells filled with
