ARMIES
ARE NOT ALONE
In Recognizing Artillery As
Weapon Of Great Value

French Front Oct. 3.-(Corre-
spondence of The Associated Press)--
The Entente armies have not been
AQna IN recognizing the greater value
Y SAFtIllpry as compared with infan-
assatn the m thod of warfare in
NpAeetion on all the European fronts
since the cessation Of the war OF
movement at the end of 1914.
A glance at the strength of the Ger
man aeld artillery branch at the
opening of hostilities shows that it
then consisted of 642 batteries. At
present it is composed Of 1000 bat
teries at least AS the batteries now
contain only four pieces instead OF
six as at the beginning of the war,
the calculation Of the power of the
artillery in the field must be based
on the number Of guns rather than
that of batteries Whereas in 1914
the German army possessed only g.
$50 leld guns it now disposes OF g.
900 If the minimum figure of 1000
batteries with which it was furnished
at the end of 1916 is taken as the
basis Of calculation.
These field artillery batteries are
divided into two kinds-those armed
with the 77-centimetre, cannon (the
3-inch) and those armed with light
finch field howitzers. The German
3-tnch cannon has been much i'm
proved and its range greatly increased
sinco 1914.
As to the German heavy artillery,
the increase in the number of pieces
has been even greater in proportion
than that Of the field artillery. In
peace-time tho German empire had
organized twenty-four regiments OF
heavy artillery. Each regiment was
composed Of two battalions of foul
batteries and each battery was armed
with four guns, thus totalling 76S
heavy guns.
n Al soon as the army had been mo
biHzeA In 1914. the German militar,
authorities established new heavy ar
tillery formations. Soon each artil
lery regiment Of the regular arm!
had attached to 1t a reserve regimen
OF four batteries of skilled gunners
also a battalion of four batteries o
landwehr, or second reservists. and
finally, a battalion Of four batterie
formed from among the third reser
visits or landsturm. When the ARISEN
ais and shell factories later ha'
reached a higher level of production
ne runs and ammunition further bat
feripn were formed from among tn
:nen of the Ersatz reserve. Since tn
first year Of the war large number
OF the recruits of the younger classe
which have been called out for serv
ice have been sent to the artiller

PARALYSIS IN STATE.
Connecticut Had Third Highest Death
Rate in Country.

Rate in Country.
Washington, Dec. Connecticut
had the third highest death rate from
infantile paralysis last year, according
to the census bureau here, which says
in a recent bulletin:
Acute anterior poliomyelitis, COM
monty called infantile paralysis,
caused 7,13O deaths in 1915, repre-
senting a rate of 10 per 100000 popu-
lation. This disease developed in cpl
demic form in that year, and the re-
sultant mortality showed an enormous
increase The rate from infantile
PARALYSIS declined from 81 per 1OO,-
600 in 191O-thc first year in which
this malady was reported separately
as a cause Of death-to~1 per 100000
in 1915, the decrease having been con-
tinuous from year to year except for
an increase between 1911 and 1912.
The rate for 1915, however, was ten
times as great as that for the preced-
ing year. .:...
"Of the IS states in the registration
area in 1916, the five showing the
highest rates reported IS per cent. of
all the deaths from this cause. These
states, with their rates, were: New
Jersey, Al; New York, 1928; Connecti-
cut 1872; Massachusetts,. 1913; and
Maryland, 81. The next highest hve
rates appear for Pennsylvania, rs:

branch. BY the end of 1916 the num-
Der of heavy batteries had been null
ttplied more than five times and in
thc course of 1917 further additions
have been made to the total.
OF the German big guns, rs per
cent are long-range cannon and the
remaining rs per cent howitzers. The
most numerous of their long-ranGe
guns are 4-inch. 12-inch, 5-inch
and 6-inch; but they possess also
batteries of 8.7-inch, 9.7-inch, H.
inch and 15-inch long-range guns, al
though these are very few in number.
Their howitzers are for the most part
OF 6-inch calibre; but besides these
they have in line batteries of 11-inch,
lo-inch and 17-inch howitzers.
Germany had not developed any
liking for mountain guns before this
war, but she has been forced to
change her views by the developments
of the fighting, in the Vosges for in
stance, and now has twenty batteries
of mountain guns, six pieces Of 3-inch
callbre rapid-f1re to a battery. and
| also has formed several batteries OF
! 4-inch mountain howitzers.
Trench artillery as we'll has been a
, development Of this war, and the Ger
mon army is now well provided with
weapons of various kinds for use In
the advanced lines. It's trench NOR
tars range in calibre from inches
to 10 inches. Finally, the mall trench
cannon of / 1-2-inch. pinch and 2
1-2-inch calibre have become very
numerous in all sectors of the line.
The personnel of the gunnery
branch of the German army has be.
come nearly as great in numbers az

THE ROUBLE.
Interesting Letter from Correspondent
at PctrOgrad.

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
London, Nov 7-Writing immedi-
ately after the Maximalist coup in Pc
trograd, the Daily Telegraph's former
PetrOgrad correspondent, now in
London, said:
zone Of the most disquieting symp-
toms in revolutionary Russia is the
deValuation of the rouble. 1t is no
longer merely an international matter
as it was during the earlier phases of
the war. The cause then was the
practical cessation of Russias export
trade and her consequent inability to
pay with goods for her vast imports
of war material. Now it is mainly due
to the flooding of the country with
paper money.
THE depreciation shows itself in a
stupcndous rise of prices and wages
! The chairman of one of the largest
business declarations in Russia stated
that the government was having to
pay $50 roubles each for shells which
it contracted for at 60 roubles."
In the London market yesterday the
roublc exchange went up to as much
as $50 roubles per ten pounds sterling,
making the value of the rouble barely
( sixpence. In exchange circles it was
reported difficult to deal at that figure
| and with regard to the output of pa
! per money in Russia it was reported
| the initiation is now greater than ever
| and amounts to as much as one hun
| dred million roubles daily on the basis
| of the normal exchange.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Oct. 29.-The first German
prisoner of war taken by the American
expeditionary forces died to-day in an
American field hospital. having been
shot when he encountered an American
patrol in No Mans Land in front of
the American trenches.
He, with another German, was dis
covered Saturday night by the patrol
and was called upon to halt. The Ger
mans ran, the patrol fired and one of
the enemy was hit. The prisoner was
treated at a dressing station and re-
moved to a field hospital, where the
combined efforts Of several surgeons
failed to save his life.
The prisoner was a mail carrier, and
letters Of some value were found on
him. lie explained his presence near
the American trenches, saying he had
lost his way in the dark. He declared
that the German soldiers did not know
that Americans were on the front or in
France, the officers telling them moth

American batteries are continuing to
shell the German lines at regular in

tactics.

oatmeal and buried their bread in but
ter"
Many housewives invited the can
vassers in TO admire the devices for
food saving they had invented. In many
wealthy homes butter is now served in
large plate, from which each guest
cuts his own portion.
81 had regular fight with my sister
last night" said enc woman, throwing
the door open Hospitality TO the can
vasser. 81 just wish you would come
in and explain to her that she must
not cut the crusts off sandwiches. We
had guests last night, and, when went
out IN the kitchen, there was a great
pile Of bread crusts.
"'Effe,' | said. I'd just as soon see
rou throw whole loaf Of bread In ths
garbage pail
Anyway, she'll have to eat brasd
pudding the rest of the week, for
will not allow that enormous pile Of
bread crusts to be wasted"
On the lower East Side and in other
sections of the city, where they have
to deal with the people who have less
food, to say nothing of wasting any,
the canvassers have been drilled in an
entirely different kind of appeal.
"We would not be so impertinent as
to ask these people to save food, or
even to substitute" said Miss R.
Larned, leader Of the 1st Assembly Dis
trict, which lies just above Brooklyn
Bridge. "In their cases, joining the
food administration means that they
can hope for the protection of the Fed
eral Food Administrator.
"If they find they are being cheated
by their retail dealer, or il for any
other reason they find themselves the
victims of profiteering, we want them
to write to Mr.. Hoover about it, When
we explain it to them on this ground
they are quite willing to sign the
pledge card"
The reports of the first days canvass
will be read at a luncheon of the food
administration, at the headquarters,
Irving Place and Fifteenth Street, to-
day.
The pledge cards which the women
have been asked to sign merely COM
nit them TO helping the admlnistra-
tion so far as they can, but the kitchen
cards, which contain the war Creed"
are much more explicit
