 A proclamation.
 The second Liberty loan gives the people of the United States another opportunity to lend their funds to their government to sustain their country at war. The might of the United States is being mebilized and organized to strike mortal blow at autocracy in defense of outraged American rights and of the cause of liberty. Billions of dollars are re- quired to arm, feed and clothe the brave men who are going forth to fight our country's battles and to as- sist the nations with whom We are making common cause against com mon foe.

On this afternoon of that day re- quest that patriotic meetings be held in every city, town and hamlet throughout he land, under the general direction of the secretary of the treas ury and the immediate direction of the Liberty loan committees which have been organized by the federal reserve banks.
 The people responded nobly to the call of the first Liberty loan with an oVersubscription of more than 30 per cent. Let the response to the second loan be even greater and let the amount be so large that it will serve as an assurance of unequaled support to hearten the men who are to face tste fire Of battle for HIS. Let the re- sult be so impressive aud emphatia that # will echo throughout the enl- Die of our enemy as al index of what AmeIiea intends to to to bring this va ,o victorious conclusion.

AMERICANS MANNING
 LARGE FRENCH GUNS
THEY ARE BEING GIVEN lN- STRUCTIONS IN ACCU-
 RATE FIRING.

American Training Camp in France. Not far behind the American field artillery, which has been in training in rugged section of France for the past two months, have come the men 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 gunmakers skill and daring. They range from the modest but maryelously effective "155" up to the staggering 400 that hurls a high explosive weighing just short of ton The "400's" are more potent than the Big Berthas 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 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- vation, the general commanding the heavy artillery contingent replied:
 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 il 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 and observation balloons.
