who have been studying conditions
on this front for some time, say they
are wonderfully impressed with the
British artillery. which has made

immense efforts the United States

The American people have been

is said and done, It has been guns and
still more guns, shells and still more

war In favor Of the entente allies.
Artillery Solves Problems.
The artillery has solved most Of the
problems OF modern war. IL was ar
tillery that blew the Germans from
their grip on Vimy ridge; that shook
them loose from their three-year nold
on the high ground about Messines,
II was the artillery that shattered and
crumpled the steel and concrete de-
fenses OF the Hindenburg line irom

today that Is harrassing and pounding
the Germans until they are fairly
dazed when the infantry attacks De
Sin.
The limited depth OF the battles
today is due to the fact that infantry
must not get beyond the protecuong
cover of their artillery. II was with
their enormous guns whi,h no other
nation possessed, that the Germans
expected TO blast their way to quick
victory in 1914 Now their military
ambitions and their military prowess

the rocks OF skilled supremacy in guns
