U. s. Artillerymen

Workmanship

With the American Army in France,
Nov. l5-The accuracy of the Ameri-
can artillery mems fire has evoked
enthusiastic comments from the
French superior officers of the COM
mand in which are the trenches oc-
cupied by the American troops. The
general in command told American
officers today that the Workmanship
of the artillery men was excellent,
comparing most favorably with that
of troops who had been at war for
years.
The American officers were highly
elated by the. compliment. The only
complaint heard is that few of the
American batteries are not as rapid

self especially in patrols. All the
Americans who have not had this ex-
perience are eager to try their hand,
and some of them have asked to be
assigned to this work. 1t is the
unanimous opinion that the men are
learning more of the science of war
by their short stay in the trenches
and gun pits than is possible to gain
in months of other instruction. While
the infantry is learning how to han
die itself in the trenches. the artillery,
in addition to actual firing, is acquir-
ing most valuable experience in OBJ
servation work and locating enemy
batteries by the sound method. The
heavy guns on both sides are now
engaged in duel at long range. with
the lighter pieces working at targets

Winter Conservation of
Horticultural Artillery" Urqed

Washington, Nov. l5.-Winter con-
servation of agriculture's artillery, the
machinery used in the outstanding Of
the nations crops, was urged in a
statement by the Department of Agri-
culture today. The program proposed
for farmers everywhere is to, give
greater care to farm equipment, in
cluding avoidance of needless ex-
posure to the weather, so as to
lengthen its service, the repairing
from now on of all the machines to
be used next season, and return of
useless machinery to trade channels
as junk.
Serviceable equipment that is not
needed should be sold or made avail
able to others. Orders for repair
parts should be placed as soon as pos
sible so as to advise manufacturers
of the demand, enable the most ef-
fcient distribution of products and
prevent expensive delays in trans
portation at the busy season.

Baltimore, Nov. 15.-In a speech

Inmates given congress, and predicted
= that the amount of money still to be

Vague and unfounded apprehen-
sions seem to exist in the public mind
as to the extent of the financial re-
quirements of the United States dur
ing the current fiscal year," the sec
retary said. 1T may be helpful to the
country to know that these require
