CUNNERS LEARNING
To- HIT BULLS EYE FROM GREAT
DISTANCE WITH MUCH ACCURACY

No. Ones captain sliced his hand
down. There was a. below from the
howitzer. The huge barrel slipped
back in its sleeve and recovered
smoothly.
One felt a jar on the ear drum in
spite of the wad Of cotton placed there
for protection. There was a sudden
sprtnging into action Of the figures
around No. One gun-f1gures which
had been immobile a 1.-THE of a second
before. The breech was whtrled open
and puff Of white smoke issued from
breech and muzzle.
The kneeltng fuse cutters nfpped out
a shell from it's private box and pre-
pared to set the fuse on the next or
der. There was an orderly whirl-
each trying to do his task a little fas-
ter and little better than the last
tine-when there was a b1urt from
No. Two gun. Three seconds had
elapsed. So it went down the line.
Not always so smoothly, though.
Some of the men were still nervous.
Men are always nervous when they
begin work with these mighty en-
gines. One man plucked three times
at his lanyard and three times jumped
away before he pulled hard enough
to fire his piece. At the next gun the
No. was even more nervous and fir
ed before the gun captains hand
dropped.
Fuse cutters got ratified and cut
their fuses wrong. A loader dropped
powder bag. Some men were too
slow and some too fast. Building a
gun team is a matter of time and yet
when I saw the artilleryists at work
the organizations had only been at the
guns seven days. Some. crews were
in the firing field for the third time
only.
The No. 2 crews came to the guns.
These were the veterans of weeks
service. Their newly gained certain
ty showed in every movement.
They knew just what to do and how
to do it, and they were working for
speed and accuracy now. 1t would be
absurd to say that they were on a
par with men who had been working
guns for months, but they are work.
ing their way toward par rapidly.
The men of the artillery have the
American intelligence and the nervous
speed Of the American, plus the
strength Of youth that is filled with
good food and hard work. It will not
be long before they are the equals of
any gun crews in the world.
The men Of No. crew walked
slowly toward the resting place. Per-
spiration was dripping from them, for
day had turned steaming hot, and
handling a big gun is a matter for big
muscles.
But on their way they. dawd1ed and
loafed and delayed, so0they might be
near the telephone when the report
came from that last shot that was to
have split the bracket. By and by the
telephonist shouted the news.
ION the MARK said he.

proud No. is in unison. t'Some gun.
