 FOR A DRIVE AGAINST ENEMY

NEW YORK Sept 19- Marshal Foch is credited 0y some of the German newspapers with adopting new ,o,arhod of defense learned from Hindenburg.
 The allied commander is said by the German coreSpon dent of the Berlin VORWAERTS to have applied the met nod to the defensive fighting just before the great e' ffonsiyn beoan at the Narne salient in July.
 The method is described withdrawal of troops from the first line and placing the main force on the sec ond ine This weakened the effect of the German artillery
 Enemy batteries were in such deep formation
 tos tho VORWAERTS' correspondent that their bar aao struck the German attack not in front of the first line but only in front of the second line This defensive action learned from Hindenburg, naturally demands h' method of attack which will not be long in comlng.

GERMAN BORN SERGEANT
WINS 4 COMMISSION.
Distinguished Service Brings Reward
Had to Come Home and Get Citi-
zenship Papers Before Commission
Could Be Issued.

The Paris edition of STARS and
Stripes" tells this story of German
born sergeant who won unusual hon
ors and received an unusual reward.
Perhaps there are a dozen A. E. F..
men in the know on this, and perhaps
couple of companies. That doesn't
matter so much, but when they get
back to the line-after a brief session
with the pictures at the Louvre. the
beauties of the season and loveliness
OF earth, etc.-they're going to be long
on pity for Fritz. Just because they'll
be short a sergeant.
The sergeant, you must know. is not
a prisoner, nor yet has he been adop-
ted by the publicity experts as an ex-
hibit of Yank ferocity untamed. But
he's not hanging out in France for
awhile, anyway.
You've got it-he's going to allay
toot sweet pour PAmerique All be-
cause he's shown up so we'll against
the Huns that he's going to be COM
missioned. But first he's got to go
home and get his citizenship papers.
Ten years ago he lived in Germany,
but he and his father and a lot of
others didn't like it, so they went to
a good country. Make believe his name
is Bierstube-actually it's Just as Ger
man as that. For the last few months.
along with a lot of other Americans.
who can't see this kulture stuff for
sour apples, he's just been naturally
taking out his spite on his one-time
neighbors and friends of yesteryear.
You look at the sergeant and you
like his fighting face. His eyes are
keen and clear and set at universal
range, for quick sighting. The boys
of the infantry say he has a persuasive
way with a rifle, and a technique with
cold steel that turns the nerves of his
eX-countrymen to frozen kraut their
spines to limp strings of lieberwurst.
When he takes a platoon over No
Mans Land, sometimes the gang will
stop for all of a half second to Won
der what Germany ever did to him to
make him love the Potsdammers as
roughly as all that.
The funniest part about it is that
he's built on squarehead lines. Hin

prattles as easily of raiding parties
and encircling movements as he does

According to the Scientific Ameri-
can. France has built the largest gun
ever built, and perhaps the largest
that ever will be built The gun so
greatly exceeds the German 40 cen
timeter gun as TO be in a class by
itself; for not only is the French gun
much greater in size and weight. but
it is a high velocity. long range gun.
whereas the German piece is a rela-
lively low velocity howitzer of COM
paratively limited range,
The German 42 centimeter gun was
designed primarily for the purpose
of reducing the Belgian fortifications.
but it also had a decided moral ef-
feet. The French in getting out this
huge weapon also had a double OBJ
iect in view. It is encouraging to the
French troops to know that thiir ar
tillery includes a gun which is i'm
measurably more poweMul and de-
structive than the heaviest gun of
the enemy; and conversely. it is de-
pressing to the German troops to know
that their artillery is greatly out
matched, particularly when they are
eye witnesses of the appalling de-
struction wrought by a single hit with
one of these shells.
The shell is 50 centimeters. or
2O1a inches in diameter and possibly
six and half feet in length. II has
the we'll shaped head of French shells
The weight is given as 5000 pounds
II this weight is correct. it is JUS
1000 pounds heavier than the she'll
of our new so calibre 16-inch naval
gun that weighs 2.200 pounds Nee
essariily. the gun itself must be ex-
ceedingly heavy Our 16-inch 35 cal
ibre rifle now at Panama weighs
2S4,OOO pounds; and since the French
piece is nearly 80 calibres and may be
even calibres in length. its weight
must be not far from 400. 600 pounds
Of course a gun of this weight has to
stick to the railways. and il has ne
cessitated the designing of a special
carriage of great strength to carry
the enormous load and stand the
heavy stress of the recoi.
What the gun can do was shown i'm
the attack on the Chemin des Danes
when single shell. planted spuarelv
within Fort Malmaison. caused such
havoc as to put the fort out of com
mission. The French built two of these
guns some two years ago. and it is
probable that few more have been
constructed. They are so very costly
however. that it is not likely that
large number will be built.
They will be ideal guns for the re-
duction Of the powerful ring Of forts
around Metz; and when the allies are
ready for their great drive up the
Rhine valley they will probably play
an important part in the reduction
of that city.
