WHAT THE TRENCH GUN
WILL DO.

Shotguns are being used effect
lively in this the greatest of all
wars. The victory of the Ameri-
can troops at Seicheprey April 20
was due to the fighting ability of
the Americans and the EFFECTIVE
ness of the trench gun. This shot
gun sprays an area nine feet Wide
and three feet high, and will per-
forate a tWo-In board at 100
yrds. The spray of lead was
something the Germans had not
counted on. In this battle the
Amerlcn troops were outnum-
bered three to one. The thicker
the Germans were massed the
easier it was to bring them down.
