WHAT YOUR BOY

Washington. Nov. .:.-The second

IN the present war heavy artillery

guns than they have ever dreamed of.
Lite in the artillery is no sinecure.
but 1t has the disadvantage 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 artil-
leryman never sees In modern war
fare his mark. He fires by mathe-
NAUTICAL calculation at some object
which an observer has reported.
Artinerymen are mere apt to be
trained men than other branches Of
tho service Men .r.,clea 81 xraths-
MATES are sought most eagerly. The
work OF the enlisted artillerynan 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 ammunition.
Aviators. ballon observers and out
posts report to the commanding off,

which should become targets. The
report is couched in technical terms,
and the range is found by mathemati-

observer watches It's effects and COM

the guns never see the damage done
by the shells which they handle.
Under present conditions the artfl-

Enlisted artillerymen have heavy
work. The shifting of the guns and
ammunition is strenuous. However.
they have the compensation of com

iery.

The occasions and the opportunities

which the worldwide war presents

interest, but perhaps they have no.

than by those of the Jewish race who
look upon the impending fall of Jeru-
salem and the establishment of a
British protectorate in Palestine as
Offering the promise OF restoration of
the Jewish nationality.
This aspiration. to which the name
OF Zionism has usually been given, Is
by no means universal among tn ,
Jewish people; many of whose leaders
see dangers lurking in the attempt to
realize the dream of Il political esta b.
lisment. Muititudes Of orthodox Jews
still cherish the belief that the return
to Zion is to he preceded by the COM
ing of Elijah, and among these there
Is either indifference TO the proposed
establishment OF the Jewish state or
doubt as to the wisdom of the move

Jews have wept as they remem-
bered Zion, but those of modern ways

Of history Is not easily retraced. Civ

that the problem might be solved by

ATTEMPT OF AUSTRIA
TO DECEIVE THE CZECHS

Geneva. Oct. %. (By mail. -
The government OF Austria has been
extremely anxious 10 conceal before its
own people. and also before the rest
or the world, the fact that from the
very beginning of the war Czech regi-
ments refused to sacrifice thems sIves
for the interests of the Haps burg
monarchy. To prevent the truth from
becoming known 1t uses every con-
ceivabie subterfuge and Discrimination
A characteristic example of the manner
In which II seeks to keep the truth
hidden is demonstrated by recent re-
ferences 10 the 2Sth Czech regiment.
~ lis we'll known that this Czech
regiment went over to the Russians
OH the Bird OF April, 1915, with It's
bands playing and colors flying. For
this step II was stricken Off the list
of regiments by ar imperial decree.
When other regiments similarly de-
serted the Hapsburg cause and went
over to the allies the Austrian au-
thorities realized that the striking off
Of the regiments was, because OF the
influence produced on other troops, a
serious blunder, so, to remedy mat
ters, the above mentioned 2Sth regi-
ment was reorganized, put on new
basis. and sent to the Italian front,
