GAN SPOT OBJECTS BEHIND THE LINES
 0F GERMAN FORCES

FRENCH FRONT April IS - Correspondence of The Associated Press)-Accuracy and efficiency have be- en made possible for the French artillery by the invention of an instrument that enables French mapmakers to- locate almost exactly an object within the enemy lines which has been photographed from arpane In trans ferrng to map the photographed object such say as an enemy battery munton dump, the margin error is limited to less than five yards.
 This permits the French artllary to pour it's shells with almost certain aim to German gun emplacements trench positions crossroads cantonments railroad lines aviation camps and other enemy organizations It is necessary for the gunner have distant view of the object he is firing at.
 To take photograph of the enemy lines from Ere nch arpane is an easy matter but to transfer the objects photographed to their exact location a map for time extremy difficult This due to the varying heights and angles from which the airplane observers made their photographs By the invention of one of the officers attached to the Geographical Section this difficult ty has been almost eliminated.
 Not only the aerel observation service but other methods of spottng German positions especially cannon and machine-gun einplacements - are utilized as aids to the work of the military mapmaker. The
 flashes of guns they fired from the German side form valuable adjunct to his work but the most i'm portan of all is the calculation of speed of the sound o the firing charge of the German shells This has been brought to DaSlS OI Sucn pelIecuoH that Ie guns Call be located with almost absolute accuracy. In fact in recent operations has proved that the system of obseva
 on by sound has given successful results in 80 per- cent of instances.
 In every army there is branch of the Geographical Section and each is furnished with complete Photographic and znagraphic printing plant and skilled workers pho tographers and mathematicians In every few hours after the receipt of the days observations from all the various sources dozens of copies of the corrected maps ready for issue to all the stas of corps divisions and brigates comprised within the army concerned.
 Nothing is omitted form the maps every church, house. chimney m bridge road railroad group of trees is marked as well as every turn and tmis of enemy trench of system of barbed wire entanglements every stream ditch bridge ford every path used by supply parties every point of resistance organized shell crater lockout post is shown on the maps.

Speed PLEASESNsTDUcTOns
Give Demonstration of Energy and Ac-
euraey Which Is Truly American
Graduates to Act as Instruc-
tors to New Arrivals.

With the American Army in France
The graduation exercises Of the large
bayonet school were watched by sew
eral generals and their staffs. The
men, who had been trained in the Brit
ish system by British instructors, gave
a demonstration Of energy, speed and
accuracy which was truly American.
They are ready to so over the top.
A British sergeant major put the
men through the drill so vigorously that
more than one man was hurt. But their
wounds were not serious. The instruc-
tor himself so narrowly escaped bay
onet point that his tunic was cut.
"Now, then," the sergeant would say,
holding heavy, long stick in his hand,
"when I tell you men to turn, try TO
get the point to me. Now, turn! Yeah!
Yeah! Give 'em hell! That's good!"
They $50 Over the Top"
The Americans worked like football
players, every nerve and every har-
dened muscle straining. The sergeant.
by reason of long practice, was able
to ward off some thrusts with the
point or butt, but from many he had
to jump"
Even more vigor was shown by the
men as they occupied the trench line
and, with their officers, went over the
top in a charge, The operations began
by firing from the trench at the dunn
mics in the enemy trenches. Some of
the men made perfect scores, while
only three Of the whole class fell be-
low so in a possible 100.
The men went furiously at the
charge, urged on by the most emphatic
language that a British sergeant major
might be credited with having at his
command. He shouted to his men:
''Give it to 'em-in the heart, in the
throat! That's the way. If you don't
get them they'll get you On your toes
all the time! Quick! Quick! Quick!"
The urging was unnecessary. The
men knew what to do and did it, and
luGy were SO Wen GItluSO ludL O1uC1S
were anticipated.
The French and British officers we're
enthusiastic, especially at the speed
and energy Of the Americans. Some
of the graduates will be sent immedi-
ately to newly arrived units as instruc-
tors.
Training New Contingent.
A division of American troops, re-
Gently arrived in France, will begin
regimental maneuyers at once and
will be trained in barrage fire, the
American artillery wogling with Amer
lean aviators. The site picked for the
practice is rolling ground.
The artillery Will lay barrage up
to the first objective, over theoretical
German trenches. The infantry, fol-
lowing up the fire, will occupy the
trenches and then execute a flank
movement.
The signal corps will get the benefit
of the maneuvers, for they will be car
ried out as if an actual attack were
being launched.
