AMERICANS MANNING
LARGE FRENCH GUNS

Wireless Branch of Artillery Service
Being Developed Among Ameri-
cans, Who Have Received Good
Technical Training.

American Training Camp in France.
Not far behind the American field
artillery, which has been in training
in a rugged section of France for the
past two months, have come the mep
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 gunmskers'
skill and daring. They range from
the modest but marvelously effective
"155' up to the staggering 400" that
hurls high explosive weighing just
short OF ton. The "400's" are more
potent than the Big Bertnas 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
a little surprised to find that with the
big land guns used here speed is not
a 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.
Asked if his men would not find it
difficult to shoot without direct obser-
walton, the general commanding the
heavy artillery contingent replied:
1--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 in
an airplane. You can depend upon it
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

If the creator of this frock had stop

Marshal Haig is battering away on

south OF Dixmude in an endeavor to
bring taeat sector of the line even with

With apparent ease the Frenchmen
crossed the flooded Broenbeek and
Jansbeek rivers, and captured the VIZ

al hundred Germans. The advance of
the French was over front of more

trated the German line to depth CT
one and a quarter miles.
AT several points Haig's advance
was sharply contested by the Ger
mans, particularly north of Brood

railroad line and near the Polderhoek
chateau. Nowhere were the Germans
able TO stay the advance, except near
the Polderfaook chateau, where the
terrific fire of their machine guns mo-
mentarily forced the British to give
ground. Later the attacking troops
realignea themselves, and the success
