What Your Bou
Is Doing

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27. - The
second line of every army is the ar
tillery. In the present war heavy
artillery has made almost obsolete
the field Of former days. There are
no more gallant charges, with snort
ing horses drawing light cannon and
caissons amid bursting shells. Ar
tillery today is too heavy for horses.
or motor tractors.
American boys in the artillery
will find themselves dealing with
bigger guns than they have ever
dreamed of. Life in the artillery is
no sinecure, but it has the disad-
vantage of plenty of action with no
apparent results. All day long the
heavy guns are drawn up several
miles behind the front. and they
are banging away at objects out OF
their sight. The artilleryman never
sees in modern warfare his mark.
He fires by mathematical calcula-
ton at some object which an OBJ
server has reported.
Artillerymen are more apt 10 be
trained men than other branches OF
the service. Men schooled in mathe-
mates are sought most eagerly. The
work OF the enlisted artilleryman is
not as diversified as that Of his
brother the infantryman. His work
is the incessant firing of his gun and
the constant handling Of ammuni-
ton.
Aviators. balloon observers and
outposts report 10 the commanding
officer OF each artillery battery spots
which should become targets. The
report is couched in technical terms,
and the range IS found by mathe-
NAUTICAL calculation. AS a gun fires
an observer watches its effects and
communicates back 20 the COM
handing officer the results. The men
behind the guns never see the dam
age done by the shells which they
handle.
Under present conditions the ar

or single, are subject to this tax. for

Your met" income is figured in

Exemption may be claimed for per-

THERE Is a FUEL SHORTAGE IN INDIANA.
(COntributedO


It may be that mine operators blame, the
railroads may be fault, but the fact is that
there a shortage Government and state sta
tistcs show that the mines producing more coal

more coal than ever before This year that record will
be surpassed. Yet there is a coal shortage.
Why? Because we are exporting to France and Italy
great quantities of coal which they must have if they

eastern Canada, has been transformed into vast
munition factory running night and day at maximum
speed We furnishing the coal. We are as much
interested in getting that ammunition as is Canada

coal shortage for the reason that navy, now
operating in the zone, must have unprecedented
supplies the best coal in the eastern fields. For the
further that manufacturing necessary to the

demand fuel in manufacturing plants These needs
MUST be met. OF what # they have Meth

Have a mind that all this equipment and munitions,
these soldiers and the food necessary to maintain

increased the demand for fuel for railroads. This
demand can not be down without causing havoc
and disaster only throughout the United

tillery are used TO clear the way for
an infantry charge. Constant ham
mering of the charge guns for days
is purposed to tear down the en-
emies' defenses and make the in
fantry charge easier. When the sig

Enlisted artillerymen have heavy
work The shifting of the guns and
ammunition is strenuous. However,
they have the compensation of COM
parative safety, especially so now
that the German aviators are rare

spot artillery.
Artillerymen are designated by a
crimson red cord about their hats.
Their collar insignia is two crossed
cannons. They wear leather puttees,
since they come in the classified
