YANKEE INVENTION
GUIDES ARTILLERY

Washington. July 31.-An ingen-
ious American must again be given
credit for another revolutionary in
vention. this time one which is CAL
culated to upset the whole theory
Of artillery battles.
The new invention, the name Of
which must be kept secret for mill
tary reasons. is based upon an in
vention perfected by the United
States bureau Of standards. the dec
remeter. an instrument which Is used
to toll the location Of any noise pro-
ducing body by the decrement Of
the air waves produced.
By means of the new invention,
which is now In actual use on the
French front. II Is possible to tell
the exact location Of German can
non. even when 1t cannot be seen or
heard. It is possible to judge, even
at a distance Of eight miles. so ac-
curately the position Of an enemy
gun that shell can be placed with
In so feet Of the cannon aimed at.
The instrument now In use is set
mp at a certain point ON the French
lifN. and the actual distance to the
enemy cannon IL Judged by the de-
ereasing air waves. From another
instrument at another point in the
French line similar reading is
given so that with tho two instru-
ments and the German cannon q
triangle Is formed. BY determining
the enact distance from the two in
struments to the German cannon, its
position can be found. A she'll is
fred from a French cannon and the
position at which It strikes can again
be determined by use Of the new Am
erican instrument. II the aim IL in
accurate. II can be corrected until the
German cannon IL destroyed.
This instrument Ia 80 revolution
airy in its practical application that
when 1t is placed into use along the
entire western front. of1cials say.
the use Of aeropIanes as locaters Of
enemy artillery will be done away
with.
