In modern warfare, with high-pow- CT, long-range guns operating by fn- diect fire upon an unseen objective. rot even the quality of powder, the explosive power of the proiectile's charge, or the accuracy of the can 1.on's rifing is of more importance than the absolute accuracy of the war maps with which the exact positions of batteries, supply depots and troop concentration centers are located The redrawing and correction of errors in he existing maps of France and Bel gium is one of the most vital labors upon which the engineers of the American army are now engaged.
 For the expedition of this work the War Department has accepted a uni que invention known as the Bumstead q Map Projector, designed and perfect cd by A. H. Bumstead, chief cartogra- pier of the National Geographic So- Ciety. Three of the Bumstead projec- tors, which the inventor has declined to patent. the idea being donated to government use, have been delivered have been fully tested and found to be absolutely accurate. These three projectors, made of nickled brass will meet all the present needs of the army topoSra phica1 staff. By means Of these, parallels and meridians, the bases on which all important field maps are constructed. can be '1aid down. in twenty minutes where the ordinary method requires, from three to four hours. In addition, by the use of this calculation is eliminated entirely. the whole process being mechanical.
 The projectors are corrected to one five-hundredth of an inch. and as the scale to which they are made is one tc 10000 (about three inches to the Ti1e), there could not occur from the use of this projector an error of more than 40 inches in any calculated dis
