ARTILLERY RECRUITTE
EXPERIENCE IN A LETTER

From a letter written to friend
in New Ulm by Earl Setter, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Otto Setter of this city, great
deal of information may be gained as
to what the boys who 60 into training
forservice at the front have to accomplish
before they are ready to leave. Earl
was sent to Fort Monroe, Virginia, for
a three months course of training for the
coast artillery and has been there for about
a month. Quoting from his. letter in
part, he says:
perhaps the most astounding innova-
ton of warfare during the present war
was the use of heavy artillery in land
attacks. Heretofore mobile artillery has
been confined to 6, T and smaller calibre
guns. When the report came that Ger
many was using forty-two centimeter
az in.) guns, it was thought that some
ambitious newspaper reporter got his
figures twisted. However, time proved
that these reports were correct and that
large guns were continually being used,
mounted on railroad trucks and thus made
a part of land and mobile artillery
"The Allies, of course, gathered all the
available artillery together and now
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1917-07-25

every advance by either side is prepared
with an enormous amount of ammunition
thrown by large calibre guns.
''This country entering into the con
flict must, of course, do its share in fur
nishing material to assist in the siege
operations of the western front. Ar
tillery of the calibre desired was hardly
in the scope of the field artillery and was
being handled only be the coast artillery
''The coast artillery is the branch oil
the service where the pick of the army
is sent and siege guns being new natural
ly the working Of it was left to them.
However, the working of large calibre
guns is not all the puzzle they have.
They must have knowledge of infantry
in order to prepare for their maneuvers;
must have working knowledge of field
artillery in order to fit their tactics to
coast artillery; must have an idea OF
cavalry in order to carry on reconnais-
sance of the four to six miles which are
between them and the enemy; must know
about the navy in their present positions
last, but not least, they must know avia-
ton to successfully use the anti-air craft
guns.
"You can readily see what a PROPOSE
ton we have ahead of US and the amount
of knowledge we have to assimilate in

Coast Artillery and Mobile Artillery
Gunnery and ammunition.
This is Ballistics. If you know what
it is you know as much about it as do.
It's theory and Oh! my; deeper than eter-
nal perdition. It's really a history Of
the projectile from the time it's locked
in the cannon chamber until it has reach
ed it's destination, the why's and where
fores of its funny actions and how to over
come it's tendencies. With it goes the
manner in which guns are elaborated and
the method of correcting errors. It's
mighty interesting when it can be under
stood
T. Artillery Defense.
A study OF German battle ships and
artillery methods Of keeping them out OF
a harbor. We have to be able to recog-
nize German ships at distance of 0,0OC
yards. Then know how much armor
they have and what kind of pro;ectile is
best suited for it's destruction
I'm afraid this will not be as interesting
to read as it is to write so will Just sum
the other subjects up. They include
infantry problems in minor tactics, heavy
and railroad artillery maneuvers and ma
terial, Electrical and mechanical material,
field Notifications and engineering and
finally administration.
"The day is divided very scientif-
cally. At o'clock we get up and by 7
have had half hour of physical ex-
ercise and are all ready for breakfast.
At 7:30we catch train for the batteries.
At 1890 we start back returning at 4
o'clock. At 4:30 we have infantry drill
and at sis we have swimming instruction
until supper time which is at 6:15.
'The evening is spent at study and by
the deepest concentration and the hardest
work we manage to cover about one-half
of the assignments. To say we sleep at
night is hardly necessary.
''The great treat of being here is the
association with the finest class of fellows.
To say that they are the pick of the nation
is very nearly true and l consider myself
fortunate to be with them.
1--WE are graded on our commanding
ability, military bearing, zeal, personality
and knowledge of what we are supposed
to get here. Every day we hear of fellows
being sent back home for falling down in
some one of the examinations and l am
trembling now for fear l will "bust" one

hoping and praying they will ask me the
right question:

they have different size powder charges
and the fine adjustment is accomplished
by elevating the muzzle Of the piece. Nor
tars are very accurate and satisfactory.
They range in calibre from 10 to Is inches
in our army.
8. Major Calibre Gun Battery.
Drill in large IL in. guns takes up most
of the time here. Guns are perhaps
more accurate because the target can
be seen and the guns are fired under the
prevailing atmosphere and do not travel
through zones of atmosphere as the NOR
tar projectiles do.
4. Major calibre gun material.
Very similar to the work on mortar
material except that in obtaining the
range for guns great many corrections
are applied which brings the projectile
on the target very nearly every shot. Its
absolute science that's all. Too much
for me
5. Military sketching and mapreading.
One of the important parts of an
officers education. Great stress is laid
on map drawing and map reading. They
take us out and make us draw everything
from Fort to desert and locate our
batteries on it It's fine stuff sitting at a
drawing board on the beach sands draw

red and dark brown to our skin.

SMALL FIRE BRINGS OUT
BIG CROWD ON SATURDAY
Blaze in Dental Office Subdued
and Building is Saved.

A blaze on the second floor of the
Brown County Bank building a few
minutes after / o'clock Saturday after
noon, drew a big crowd to the corner Of
Minnesota and Center streets.
The fire started in the dental rooms
OF Or. &. A. Hintz, on the second floor
OF the building, and its cause is a mystery.
The work bench used by DR.. Hintz and
the window casing were badly scorched.
Charles Emmerich, whose plumbing
shop is in the basement of the bank,
rushed to the scene of the fire with a..
hand fire extinguisher and had the fire.

department.
With a start of only few minutes
more the fire would undoubtedly have
been serious one, owing to the presence
of numerous chemicals in the room, in
Guiding quantity of alcohol and benzine
which had the fire reached, would have,
caused a serious confagration.
DR.. Hintz says he has no idea as to the.
cause of the fire as there was nothing
in the vicinity of the work table from
which blaze could have started from
spontaneous combustion.
The property loss is not large.

the short three months we have at camp.
The work is divided up into fourteen
general classes and I will endeavor to
describe each course as we'll as possible
in the limited time I have for writing.
Each Of these subjects consists of one 2
hour period day for term Of nine days.
This period is taken up with lectures or
practical work.
l. Mortars.
Mortars are guns which shoot at high
angles and throw projectiles high into
the air thus giving them greater range
and hitting the vital (top or deck) spots
or artillery or ships. Most of the time
is spent in gun drill and lectures and re-
citations .
2. Mortar Material.
In mortar material the practical work
ofrepairing and keeping mortar in shape
is required. Mortars are kept in pits
and never see the target but set their
directions from data obtained from OBJ
servers who are about 1000 feet apart.
Each observer takes the angle between
the line joining them and thus obtains a
three sided figure. Then by trigonome-
try the range from the motor to the target
is determined. For various ranges they
try the range from the mortar to the
target is determined. For various ranges

MINNESOTA

When the Lord had finished making
the rest of the country, He resolved to-
make one section more beautiful, more
glorious than the rest, and did so. This
section is what men now call Minnesota.
The maker took pine trees, and planted
them thickly in the northern part of the:
state, interspersing, however, good farm
ing lands. He placed lake jewels alb
over the region, to add beauty and
glory to the scene. He sowed valuable
minerals in the north, that men might
mine them, and from these mines de-
velop riches that shame the wealth of the
Indies. He saw to it that the country
was well-watered by streams and rivers,
that man might harness their power and
turn it to good industrial account He
made the soil fabulously fertile that it
might bring forth abundant crops so
that His children would never know the
real meaning of the word famine. And
when these things were done, He saw
to it that it was blessed with an invigorat--
ing climate that made for health, and
peopled the country with a hardy,
vigorous efficiency which is awake to its
opportunities This, then, is Minnesota

 Wheeler and Gibson saw the two MeXicans, trailing a pack train of bur ros and horses laden with booze, yes terday morning and ordered them to halt. The Mexicans replied with volley of bullets that shattered the windshield of the sheriff's car. The officers got out and returned the fire and throughout the day trailed the bootleggers through the brush, with intermittent exchanges of shots. Last night Rafferty and Welch left Tomb taking along an auto load of rifles and ammunition An arrival in Tomb stone last night stated that one of the Mexicans had been wounded and that the sheriff's force expected to close in on them during the night.
