MEANS TAKEN TO
TELL TRUTH TO HUNS

Thousand of specfafy designed
rifles for shooting propaganda over
the enemy lines are being used by
the allies. From these rifles gren-
AIDES are discharged by means of
which tracts and pamphlets may be
scattered along German trenches
with considerable exactitude at a
range of more than 200 yards. The
nature of the propaganda depends
upon the German units in the vicin-
ity, the purpose being always to sup
ply matter that will appeal to the
troops from the various parts of Ger
r,any. Recent disclosures of DR., Won
Muechlon, the former director of the
Krupp gun factory, showing the Ger
man losses and facts about food con-
ditions in Germany, have been print
ed in pamphlet form and hurled
across the German lines.
To distribute the propaganda at a
considerable distance small balloons
made of cloth are used. Each of
these lift 20 pounds of propaganda
literature and by means of mechan-
ical device, drops quarter-pound of
these documents at 15-minute inter-
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1918-07-22

NdlS.
The radius of action of these bal
looms in a 25-mile wind would be
Hamburg, Berlin, Vienna and Triest.
The balloons travel at height of
from 6000 to 5000 feet Paper bal
looms, capable Of lifting four pounds,
are also used by the American army.
These balloons have a radius of 100
miles from the starting point.
The latest devices are planned to
employ clockwork for the releasing
mechanism, and the use of trench
mortars with cardboard projectile
containing literature. Aeroplanes
are used occasionally for this pur-
pose, but there are many objections
tn their employment for this work.
Steps are also under consideration
for the use of French 7j-millmeter
guns for the diffusion of propagan-
da in the enemy lines.
An opportune time for employing
grenades and balloons is found to be
from to 5 o'clock in the morning
when the German soldiers are not
being watched by their officers. Many
bits of propaganda have already been
found in the pockets of German pris-
oners

chine gun, and kill the crew. A few
more shots will close the loopholes
entirely. The "37" will hardly pull
verize the whole emplacement-that
takes at least "75"-but 1t will put
it temporarily out of business.
The "37" is also a handy weapon
against working parties, observation
posts, for enfilading down trench;
and for use, like a heavy machine
gun, in the short rushes of an often
sive.
The little cannon is issued in
threes to each regiment of infantry,
in a present proportion of one to
each two trench mortars. 1t is moved
tc the battle line by mules, but as it
only weighs 175 pounds, including
the trail, it can be readily transport
ed by its own crew. It's accompany
ing ammunition cart carries IA boxes
OF 16 rounds each. The crews like
this gun because it is swift, accurate,
Lard-hitting, and because it is "a
gun without a tool" It's parts are
standardized and interchaneagle
and it can be readily repaired right
on the field. And as for wear-well,
some of these pieces which have fired
10000 round apiece, are still on the
firing line.
The "37" is now being manufac-
tured in the United States also. The
design is French, model 1916, devel-
oped and improved from a piece first
used away back in 1885. The French
have had the greatest success with It
and all American infantry abroad
carry it as regular part of their
equipment.

delighted their audience with a
charming entertainment of vocal and
instrumental music. This was follow
ed by one of the strongest lectures
on the program, DR.. D. f. Fox Of
Pasadena, whose theme was "The
Philosophy of Common Sense" Dr..
Fox presented his ideas in force
ful manner with many CLEANS Of
..umor which enlightened this dis
course. His methods of dealing with
erring brothers were those which
showed the natural b!gness of heart
and true sympathy that makes for
leader of men. Dr.. Fox addresses
the inmates of the state prison at San
Quentin every year, where he en-
courages and helps the men instead
uf lecturing them on their evil ways.
Sunday was an active day at Chau-

sisted of excellent harp and piano
numbers, vocal solos and readings.

OF the Kansas City Star, humori5t
and philosopher, gave the afternoon
lecture on THE Gold That Lies at
the End of the Rainbow" His plea
for a greater realization of the good
things of life opened up a new view
roint to many. Dr. Mertins said that
too many people Of the world have
reen seeking the gold at the end OF
the rainbow, when it is already right
at hand, needing but the realization
of the truth to make it become an
actuality. His address sparkled with
wit, and the charming bits of orig

put his listeners in sympathy with
him throughout the discourse.

certain of its features. The treasury
asked that corporations be divided

which each individual corporation
should be placed and to fix the per-
centage of tax ii should pay on it's
profits. The suggested percentages OF
deductions ranged from eight per cent

three classes, as follows;
Mining and similar hazardous lines

cial. Inseead of the wide range of
