SHIPPING REDUCED
TO A FINE ART
Sharpshooters in This War Use Many
Other Branches of the Service to Help
Him--A Case illustrated.

Behind British Lines in France, July
rs Correspondence of the Associated
essl.-Sniping and counter sniping has
been reduced to fine art in modern war
fare, and the sharpshooter uses many
other branches of the service to assist
him An incident which occurred few
days ago in the British lines in Flanders
shows how a little artillery work is
sometimes necessary in bringing about
the undoing of the German snipers.
Lieutenant Jackson, battalion sniping
officer, was walking down the trench
when he heard sudden rattle of mus
ketry-German bullets striking one of
the British sniping plates. One of his
sniping posts was being battered by Ger
man armor-piercing bullets.
The officer hurried to the scene and
with his periscope located the spot where
the Germans were firing. II was big
post on some ground behind the enemy
firing line, hidden with earth and look
ing exactly like any one of the other
tangled hummocks with which shells and
mines had strewn the vicinity But his
trained eye quickly marked out four
small apertures which he knew to be
loopholes The excellence of his peri
scope even enabled him to see the puffs
of unburned powder which came from
the four hostile rifles at every shot.
They are being concrete and steel I'M
der that surface mud, sir" said the ser
geant. 1T won't be easy dealing with
them"
It's case for the heavy artillery, I'm
afraid" murmured Lieutenant jackson
regretfully-he disliked calling in any
outside assistance for his snipers
Il saw the major of that heavy bat
terry which covers us, going by moment
ago" suggested the sergeant.
Lieutenant jackson hurried off down
the trench and found the major, who was
up on survey of the enemy line for
special targets. A hint of what had de-
veloped brought the major back, and a
minute later he was in the nearest sig
nal dugout, telephoning instructions to
his battery.
Meanwhile Lieutenant jackson beck
oned the sergeant away out of the ma
jor's hearing. Put Haggarty and Brown
into post Q, Sergeant" he ordered. 81

The war touches us all The departure
4 of each draft contingent has given keener
sense Of this As the Springfield men
who have been called to the eolors
marched from the municipal group to
the railroad station yesterday, the hui
man side Of their going became striking
1 ly apparent. By the side Of the men, as
near as they could get, were wives and
mothers, and at least one baby carriage
was wheeled along, while all the children
tagged the mothers. As the line passed
down Main street friends called out to
comrades in the ranks. Up toward many
business block this draftee or that one
looked and waved hat or little flags or
both to business associates There were
| farewells all along the way, as well as
beside the train, and much emotional dis
play, for the foreign born we're many.
! Here and there persons would dart out
from the bordering onlookers and reach

1t was a spectacle possible only in
/ time of war, very moving in these
aspects but as a whole inspiring, We
know that this struggling parade of ours
was being duplicated all over this coun-
try and that It typfied the movement Of
great nationalist to the training
camps and later to some harbor where
waiting transports will receive this con-
4 tingent Of those called by the selective
draft and convey them overseas to join
the great army Of the republic for active
duty in France. The marchers were
average men who exhibited no trace of
military training as each took his own
stride, with no effort to keep step or
line. The prospect for making soldiers
out of such very raw material might
seem hopeless did we not know of the
marvellous transformation which the
training camps SO soon bring about.
| Above the struggling ranks lowered the
same spirit of adventure, the thought
more or less present of what the march.

and they will have to bolt for cover over
the ridge"
Presently the first heavy projectile
came rumbling up from the rear, 1t
burst so yards wide in great splash Of
earth. The second shell burst in the
German firing line, right in front of the
sniping post, and tore huge gap in the
parapet. The third fell right on top of
the post itself But the concrete of the
structure was strong, and the shell ac-
tually ricocheted clear and burst several
yards away.
THAT has frightened them," exclaimed
the major suddenly, as four figures APP
peared from behind the sniping post and
raced madly for the crest Of the ridge.
just then shot rang out fl ON the Brit
ish trench, and the first German pitched
forward on his face. The second fell a
yard further on. The remaining two
were dropped as they reached the crest.

to carry the necessary and throw off the
unnecessary burdens.
Indulge in sufficient play and recre-
alton to keep the body stsong and the
mind vigorous.
BE square with yourself as with those
with whom you are associated"

Honored By British.

pointed an honorary captain in the Brit

Telegraph, was present at the famous
supper at the palace of Prince Youssou-
poff in Petrograd, which resulted in the
death of the Priest Rasputin He was
arrested on the order of the Russian en-

Persian front when the revolution broke
out.
The Daily Express says that if the re-
port of the death of the former heir
