Zinnerer Knows Game
When it Comes to Machine Guns

Lieutenant Edwin Zimmcrer, Ne
braska City, of the machine gun COM
pany, Fifth Nebraska, is said to have
the best tactical knowledge of ma
chine gun warfare of any National
Guardsman in the United States.
Last spring at Fort Sill, Okla
homa, was held the first school for
training members of the National
Guard Of the country. Officers and
enlisted men attended and here in
struction was given by skilled regu-
lar army officers in this method of
warfare. Lieutenant Zimmerer led
this class. Members of this class are
the only National Guardsmen in the
country with such training.
So few soldiers know anything Of
machine gun work that the men from
the Fort Sill school are going to be
i'll great demand. 1t is probable, it is
asserted, that the officers who at
tended will be put in charge of train
ing schools, teaching other National
Guardsmen, as we'll as those of the
National Army.
Lieutenant Zimmerer will probably
be the first one chosen.
He is graduate of the Arts de-
partment of Nebraska university and
of the law school of Northwestern
university. He was, previous TO last
year, when he went to the border
with the Fifth, practicing attor-
ncy in Nebraska City.
