NO AGE LIMIT FOR
WOMEN IN WAR WORK

There is no age limit for the
service of women in war work.
This fact has been demonstrate
ed to the woman's committee of
the council of national defense.
OF the thousands of letters that
have come in recently from all
parts of the country, begging
for some work which will be of
real worth to the government,
one was from an elderly lady
ninety-six years of age, and one
from a little girl nine years
old. The old lady writes that
she would like to have some
definite war work to do, since
her son is too old to be a SOL
der. The little girl wants to
go to France as a messenger in
the Red Cross service. In
France, at the beginning of the
war, the age limit for govern
mental service was placed at
forty years. All the women in
France are now working for
their country.

axioms of war;" he says, ARE coming
into their own once more. for they
are imperishable. Artillery Is again
fighting artillery; that has always
been the first principle Of all great
generals"
II artillery at the present day oc-
cupied the same tactical position. and
employed the same methods as 1t did
a hundred years ago. his opinion
would be justified. In those days
ranges were very short, the opposing
commanders placed their batteries in
positions from which they could see
as much as possible OF the prospec-
tive battlefield. and from these posi-
tions a preliminary duel took place,
in which each side endeavored to
knock out as many OF the hostile
guns and men as 1t could The side
that gained the advantage in this duel
was then in the most favorable posi-
ton to commence the battle proper.
as 1t possessed the greater facilities
for destruction of the infantry op-
posed to It
The science of defense has reached
such a stage that no infantry assault
has the slightest chance of success
unless It Is preceded by an effective
artillery preparation. during which
the enemy's defenses are rendered in
capable of affording shelter to the
man whose business IL is to resist as
sault. 1t is easy to see that a pro-
longed artillery duel in the old sense.
IL it could be carried out. would be
of ultimate advantage to the defense,
If the opposing armies were about
equal in number and efficiency Of bat
teries- However. many guns the de-
fense might lose, they could count
upon so reducing the strength of the
artillery of the attack that it would
be unable to carry out the necessary
preliminary bombardment, and So the
assault would be prevented, or fore
doomed to failure. This is evidently
the idea in the mind OF Won Salzmann
to reassure the German public, alarm
ed by the gradual pushing back OF
their line in Belgium.
Two Contrasting Conditions
There are two conditions upon
which the German application OF the
artillery duel'' to infantry purposes
depends. The first of these is the
possibility of carrying on an artillery
duel in the old sense of the phrase.
1t was easy enough when ranges were
short, and batteries depended on di-
rect observation of their targets in
order to engage them. But now
ranges have increased until opposing
heavy batteries, upon which the mod-

Trich Won Salzmann. a distinguished

spirit that pervades the great host
whose business it is to confine the
German hordes to their proper limits,
these inspired civilians who have left
the. desk, the workshop, or the coun-
ter to destroy the armed militarism
that threatened their peace.
To turn from the adventures Of an
individual battery to the combined cf-
forts of all batteries in action on the
front. it may confidently be said that
the main ground for the confidence
which soldiers in France have that
the Germans will undoubtedly be
beaten lies in the superiority of the
allied artillery. To make the why's
and wherefores clear to the public-is
difficult because of censor restrictions.

eight or nine thousand yards at least
and never in sight OF one another.
The problem is complicated by the
necessity of discovering the position
of a hostile battery before il. can be
engaged, and Of securing some means
Of observation in order to destroy 1t.
To a great extent the discovery of
hostile batteries, and the observation
of fire upon them when found, de-
wolves upon the air service. Scouting
aeroplanes and balloons must be able
to reconnoiter the hostile territory for
these purposes, and this reconnais-
sance can only be conducted by the
side that has the mastery of the air.
1t is indisputable that this mastery is
held by the Allies. Our aeroplanes
are constantly over the German lines,
whereas it is a comparatively rare oc-
currence for a German scout TO fly
over our guns. even for a few. min
utes.
The second condition is that the al
lied and German artilleries are of ap-
proximately equal strength and effi-
cheney. That this is not the case, that
the British artillery is immeasurably
superior, is admitted by the Germans
themselves. The superior efficiency
of the French artillery is recognized
by the whole world. The British can
mass batteries upon a larger scale
than the enemy. and each individual
battery is more than a match for any
that the Germans can bring up to
oppose il. There is no doubt Of these
facts. Experience at the front for
the last eighteen months has proven
them beyond a doubt.
German Batteries Lost.
In countery-battery work, which is
the modern equivalent OF the artillery
duel, far more German batteries have
been put out Of action than British
even when conditions We're entirely IN
favor of the former. This may seem
a statement impossible of verifcation.
but the number OF British batteries
put out of action is known, and a con-
stant succession af aeroplan photo
graphs reveals the condition Of the
German batteries. For instance, dur
ing the same period the Germans only
succeeded in ranging on 7i5 British
batteries. OF these latter, only a very
small percentage were in any way
prevented from continuing their FIRE.
Apart from this, the German reply
to the British fire reveals by its weak
ness their enormous superiority. And
what is said about British gnnfire ap-
plies with equal force to the French.

Mistakes VIII Happen.

Toward midnight 1t reaches its goal,
the position that it is to take up,
where in a few weeks it is destined to
help repulse the great attack that has
been described. Confusion is inevi-

bound to lead to a few mistakes. The
men of IA neighboEing battery, older
hands at the business, turn out of
their billets for a minute or two to

The scene is one of desperate en-
srgy. The guns have first to be
hauled into their places, the greater
part of the way by men with drag
ropes, the ammunition must be un-
loaded and stacked where it can best
be fed to the guns, all the tons of
stores that are necessary to battery
must be collected in some suitable
spot. BY the light of an electric
torch the battery commander inspects
the progress of the work, the men
toiling on the drag-ropes, or strug-
Cling under the weight of the heavy
shell, the building of the long. narrow

progress Of the dawn, and with the
first light Of morning the scouting
aeroplanes may be over them. Every
thing must be hidden by then, for the
slightest unfamiliar patch upon the
ground will reveal. their secret, and
hostile shells will make their position
untenable. The men know this ana
