IS TO BLAST
DER GERMAN TRENCHES
Maximum Range Seven Miles.
High Explosives Main Ammu-
nition---Shrapnel and Gas
Will Also Be Employed

were the shells that should have been
used upon the trenches. That plan was
fixed thereafter In the British army as
II had been from the beginning In the
German and French armies. 1t was q
bad mistake and one that will not be
repeated by American artillery. That
is the reason why our proportion Of
shell output will be at least five high
explosives to one shrapnel. There will
be literally millions OF these high ex-
plosives In our output. Ammunition
dumps back Of the American lines will
be small mountains, and In these noun
tains Will be lasting power sufficient, II
well directed, to wipe out every foot Of
trench along the great Hindenburg
line.
The gas shell is something that has
not been revealed in all its details and
will not be until after the war. 1t Is
to be one Of the big surprises of war
for Friend Fritz" Both the quantity
Of production and the constituents Of
the gas are to remain secret.
i asked Colonel Edward l.. OiIern,
who is in charge Of ordnance prOduc-
tion, what will be tS. principal use Of
the gas shell. BY way Of answer he
told me what the Germans have been
doing with it for more than year and
what the British and French are do
ing with 1t now. 1t is like certain
patent medicine. 1t works while you
sleep. The technique is to shell the
trench with the gas shell at time
when most OF the men are sleeping the
sleep OF the dog tired" OF the trench
weary. The bursting proJectile then
releases its deadly content. and death
comes in q sudden choking smother
that is more frightful, more painful
than any drowninc could he.
All three OF these shells will be used
In the Yankee three" The ordinary
range is to be five miles, but by eleva,
tion the effective range can be raised
to seven miles.
The Democratic banner. (Mt. Vernon, Ohio) 1898-192?, 1917-07-31
Safety First In France.

The theoretical limit of the Yankee
three. is 10000 rounds. Then the
gun must be rerifled because of the
erosion that has taken place in the gun
chamber. AS matter of fact and as
safety protection the gun to be used on
the French front will be rerified after
10000 rounds have been fired. Prema-
ture explosions of shells in the gun and
other causes OF damage make neces-
sary the 10000 round limit as the line
Of safety.
Like the French, German and British
field guns, the Yankee three will take
up the recoil without disturbing the
sighting Of the gun. 1t will fire twenty
shots each minute. The allowance is
one second for the discharge, two Sec
Onds for the recoil, escape of gases
and the reload, total Of three seconds
for the entire operation.
Those who work the gun will never
see what they try to hit. a battery
commander who will be perhaps two
or three miles away and in position
to observe the hits will direct over the
telephone the working of the gun. Be
fore him he will have plotting board
upon which will be a circle divided
into 5000 degrees. Each gun will have
on a quadrant of the same plot. A
range finder. usually one of the bat
terry, will help In the working of the
gun. The battery commander. know
ing the location of the gun, will direct
both the distance to which the shell
will be hurled and the direction of tho
shot For instance, he will call over the
telephone 1927 degrees, $500 yards"
The gun crew will place the gun over
the OPT mark and will elevate 1t to the
point which will enable 1t to shoot the
required distance. The man in the sad
die Of the gun will Immediately find n
permanent mark, tree In the rear or
at the side or any other permanent OBJ
ject will suffice. He will get that OBJ
ject in the center of his telescope mir
ror and will use that to aim by.
| Then the battery commander will
commence to bracket-that is, he will
direct the first shell TO be fired over the
] target and the second shell short of It,
He will gradually decrease this dis
tance until the shells are falling direct
/ ly into the trench. That gun then be-
/ ing upon the target will serve as
marker for other guns along the line.

An awkward squad" was out Mon
day, being drilled by Sergeant Shut.
The squad was composed of new re-
cruits 'and Shut put them through
their PAGES to get them into shape to
take their place in the battery,
Military regulations threw wrench
into the machinery that had been set
in motion to provide the battery with
an entertainment at Centerburg Tues
day night, Monday when Lieutenant
Millard, who was sent here to give
instructions preparatory to the mus
tering in of the battery Tuesday said
that unless the mastering was com.
pleted in time for the men to go they
could not be excused

Output Is Enormous.

l am not permitted even to estimate
that enormous output. 1t is sufficient
to know it will be the greatest gun pro-
ductlon record that has ever been
made.
AS / have said, the high explosive
shell will be the one produced in the
greatest number and used most exten-
sively on the battle front. The rea-
son for this Is that most of the she'll
ing will be directed against the
trenches. Kitchener made his monu-
mental mistake in heaping up shrap-
mel shells before the fiasco at Neuve
Chapelle. He reasoned that as shrap-
mel had won for him in Egypt 1t would
prove equally effective against the Ger
mans.
Shrapnel, as every soldier knows,
bursts in the air by the operation of
q time fuse and Is effective against
troops moving over open ground. As
X. of X. was TO learn, 1t is of little eff
feet against intrenched troops.
When the barrage of shrapnel burst
above the German trenches the steel
helmets of the German soldiers pro-
tected their heads against the falling
bullets. The charging lines Of British
soldiers expected to find heaps Of dead
in these trenches, Instead there came
murderous fire from rifle and machine
guns and such play OF bayonets as
wrought havoc among the British. To
add TO the slaughter there were griev-
ous mistakes In the thickness Of some
pf the shell eases and In timing de-
rices of others, with the result that
The sllrapnel burst prematurely among
he ranks Of the charging Brltons.
French and British artillerists imme-
1iately pointed out Kitchener's mis-
Gdgment. They showed that high ex-
plosiye shells which burst upon contact

Lieut.. Eaton Compliments
Men On Their Physical
Perfection
MEDICAL EXAMINATION
CONDUCTED SATURDAY
Sore Arms In Evidence Since
Men Were Vaccinated;
Final Muster Tuesday

"A bunch of young white hopes" Is
the description of Battery by Lieu.
tenant C. e. Eaton of the federal med,
ical corps, who conducted the phys
ical examination of the men here Sat
urday. Lieutenant Eaton said after
having completed the examination
that the local battery collectively
presented the highest standard of
physical perfection that he had ever
found in military organization. He
has examined 10000 men.
The medical examination was com
menced at noon Saturday and was
completed about four o'clock. OF the
1913 men enlisted 1872 were passed by
the examiner. Those rejected were
Melvin Black, Roy Loney, Lawrence
Pealer, on account of hernia. The
three went to Columbus and on Mon
day morning underwent operations
for correcting their trouble and will
reenlist in the battery as soon as they
return. i, &tE#
Ralph Barber was also rejected
owing to a fistula on a scar left from
an appendicitis operation. Henry
Taylor was rejected owing to his hay
ing dependents and Rex Elbin was re-
fused because of physical disability
Immediately after mess Saturday
night the medical examiner admins
tered anti-smallpoX vaccine and anti
typhoid serum to the men that had
been accepted. Sunday morning these
injections were beginning to make
their presence felt and six men were
rendered i'll and were excused from du-
ty until they recover Lieutenant
Headington said Monday that the men
will be cared for and kept in the shade
as much as possible until after the eff
fects of the vaccinations have worn
off, They will be required to do but
little in the way of drilling. It will
probably be at least week before the
1872 sore arms will cease to trouble
their owners

Lieutenant HeadingtOn said Mon
day that the new quarters for the bat
terry will probably be ready for occu-
pancy by Tuesday and the battery
will be moved into them as soon as
possible.

work was completed about o'clock
Sunday afternoon.
