SNIPING IS NOW
 ONE OF FINE ARTS
GERMANS MAY HAVE MUD LOOK ING FRONT, BUT CONCRETE BASE PROTECTS THEM
 THERE.

Behind the British Lines in France. June 24.-tOCorrespondence of The Associated Press)- Sniping and counter sniping has been reduced to a fine art in modern warfare. and the sharpshooter uses many other branches of the service to assist him. An incident which occurred a few days ago in the British lines in Elan ders show how little artillery work is sometimes necessary in bringing about the undOing of the German snipers.
 Lieutenant Jackson. battalion snip ing officer, was walking down the trench when he heard a sudden rat tie of musketry bullets striking one of tine British snipinE plates. One of his sniping posts was being battered by German amor piercing bullets.
 The officer hurried to the scene and with his periscope located the spot where the Germans were firing. It was a big post on scme ground be . hind the enemy firing line, hidden with earth and looking exactly like 1 anyone Of the other tangled hum mocks with which shells and mines
 had streWn the vicinity. But his trained eye quickly marked out four
 small pareutres which he knew to be | loop holes. The excellence of his periscope even enabled him to see | the puffs of unburned powder which
 came from the four hostile rifles at | every shot.
 1 They are behind concrete and
 steel under that surface mud sir. '
 said the sergeant 'Hit won't be easy
 dealing with them
 l Its a case for the heavy artillery,
 I'm afraid" murmured Lieutenant
 Jackson reSretfully-he disliked call
 ing in any outside assistance for his 1 snipers.
 "u saw the major of that heavy
 battery which covers us. going by (,
 moment ago." suggested the ser | geant.
 | Lieutenant Jackson hurried off down the trench and found the ma | jor, who was up on a survey of the enemy line for special targets X
 hint of what had developed brought the major back. and minute later he was in the nearest signal dugout telephoning instructions to his bat tery.
 Meanwhile Lieutenant Jackson | beckoned the sergeant away out oi
 the majors hearing. Put Haggarty and Brown into Post 9. Sergeant, he ordered. q don't think the Ger
 mans have any day communication
 into that post Of theirs. and they will
 have to bolt for cover over the ridge"
 Presently the first heavy projectile
 came rumblng up from the rear II 0urst fifty yards wide in great : splash of earth. The second shell 1 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 actually ricocheted clear and burst several yards away
 "That has frightened them.' ex
 claimed the major suddenly. as four 1 figures appeared from behind the
 sniping post and raced madly for the
 crest of the ridge Just then a shot
 rang out from the British trench. and
 the first German pitched forward on his face The second fell a yard
 further on. The remaining two were 1 dropped as they reached the crest.
