AMERICANS MANNING
 LARGE FRENCH GUNS
THEY ARE BEING GIVEN tN- STRUCTiONS IN ACCU-
 RATE FIRING.

American Training Camp in France. Not far behind the American field artillery, which has been in training in rugged section of France for the past two months, have come the men of the "heavies." They are veteran gunners and many are familiar with the big guns at home and they greet ed almost as comrades the monster French weapons which they are now grooming for eventual use against the Germans.
 Some of the guns with which the American artillerymen are training are wonderful and ponderous ex- amples of the French gunmakers' skill and daring. They range from the modest but marvelously effective "155" up to the staggering 400" that hurls a high explosive weighing just short of a ton. The "400's" are more potent than the Big Berthas ever were in their days of great destructiveness
 In caliber the guns range from the short. squat mortalS, which sit upon their launches like giant frogs, up through the various members of the howitzer family to the truly sinister naval rifles with their long tapering barrels.
 The Americans are delighted with their French weapons and are busy studying every detail and adapting themselves to the use of French ma terial Most of the heavy gunners are men of long experience and do not need much actual firing practice before taking their place in line against the enemy They have been little surprised to find that with the big land guns used here speed is not great factor These heavy weapons are used for destructive purposes and there is no special need for haste when dealing with concrete dugouts and other enemy defenses that cannot run away. Accuracy is the great goal of all the heavy gunners.
 l Asked if his men would not find it difficult to shoot without direct obser vation the general commanding the heavy artillery contingent replied:
 We will have direct observation here The only difference will be that the observer, instead of standing be- side the gun, will be sitting aloft ia an airplane. You can depend upon il that each shot we fire at the enemy will be watched and recorded.
 The wireless branch of the heavy artillery service is of great import ance At schools already established radio pupils are being specially train ed in communication with airplanes and observation balloons.

The acts are in two volumes and will ac- cordingly be sold as follows: Paper binding. $2. Venetian. vellum, B; huckram, S3,50.

 "A proclamation.
 The second Liberty loan gives the people of the United States another opportunity to lend their funds to their government to sustain their country at war. The might of the United States is being mobiliZed and organized to strike mortal blow at autocracy in defense of outraged American rights and of the cause of liberty. Billions of dollars are re- quired to arm, feed and clothe the brave men who are going forth to fight our countrys battles and to as sist the nations with whom we are making common cause against com mon foe.

Arkansas Called Upon To Contribute $f5,0oO,oc0, Net As Gift, For the Bonds Are a Sterling Invest

Little Rock

Little Rock
 Governor Trough has issued the following address to the people of Ar kansas:
 At a time like this, when We have before us daily visible and tangible evidence of the high courage and pa triotism of our young men, who soon are to lay their lives upon the altar of war for the furtherance of the Idea of world democracy and the honor of American arms over the seas l feel that it is not necessary to appeal to the people of this state 10 come TO their aid, to contribute to their com fort and maintenance.
 Arkansas has contributed gener- ously of her man-power. There are now 26,0Oo of our young men, almost an army division in various branches of the service. None can say that We have not poured out most generously of our most precious possession to guarantee for the world that demoe- racy which so leng has been ali inner ent, basic principle of the American government.
 The Liberty loan now raising is directly for the support of the Amer ican forces now in France, or soon 10 be. Arkansas is called upon Q contribute abouo o15,O 5,OoO.00O of this srm-not as a f, for the bonds are a sterling investment. It is not the simple fact that American soldiers landed on French and British soil which has stricken terror to the hearts of the Reiehstag and the Will belmstrasse; it is the knowledge that back of every American soldier is an American bondholder who is willing to contribute of his plenty or of his little that the soldier may fight to the uttermost.
 When it is considered that t..e proceeds of every bond held by a ci- tizen of Arkansas may be used for tie support and maintenance of d soldier of Arkansas, fighting in foreign trenches, I feel no fear that this state will not respond instantly and fully to the call which the government now makes. 1t is Arkansas patriotic duty to subscribe the full amount allotted to her, and no better advertisement could be secured for the state than to oversubsCribe."
