STARTS HUNT FOR
LONG RANGE GUN

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY N
/ LORRAINE (By Mall, May l5--This
Is the story OF the bopbardment
! Of
1t was a sunny afternoon follow
{ ing days Of rain when General
3 passed along a road leading into
town, and found a long line OF sup
ply wagons standing there. As he
reached the wagons there was a
. terrific explosion in the middle OF a
pond some 500 yards away. Mud AM
water flew into the air and heavy
cloud OF smoke then drifted across
> the field.
In his headquarters the general
! summoned an aide.
How long has this Smelling been
going on" he opened Up.
: About two hours, sir
What are those wagons doing out
on the road?"
Il don't know. sir
We'll find out, and have them
moved. That's what the damned
Boche is firing az. II this keeps up,
we won't be able TO stay here twenty
four hours"
In the meantime the sound Of
/ heavy explosions continued to come
to the ears OF the general.
Enter, another aide. 900
Il understand that you want a re-
port on the bombardment general. -
he began. THE French officer esti-
mates they arc shooting at US with
long range gun, about a nine point

that pond out there Tor some time.
The wagons you asked about are
being moved. We have edvised our

Still. the STEADY booming explosions
from the field. Phones were busy and
the town was buzzing.
Then came the first aide again. Out
Of breath.
'I have located the source Of the
bombsrdment sir" ..
We'll, are we at work on it?" snap
ped the general
''No. sir, You see, sir. IL is a trench
mortar battery out here in the field
having a little practice"
The general turned purple, then
pink, then purple again. He exploded
with a louder report than the trench
mortar.
''who in he'll" and then words
failed him.
Phones were busy again and the
hunt for the lonE-range Boche gun
was called off. The answer to the
bombardment was simple after you
know IT
Far DOT in the big field and in
valley behind headquarters and along
side the road was a little wood shack.
It wouldn't be noticed under ordinary
observation. Behind the shack was
a trench mortar company. The. pond |
was some 800 yards beyond the shack |
The trench mortar men were practic- |
ing-lobbing the shells into the pond, |
No one could see or hear the mortar. l
and with the explosion and hurling OF /
water and mud into the air when the /
shell let loose the effect was that OF
