SHELLFIRE BEFORE ATTACH
BY FRENCH Is TON PER YARD

Paris, Feb. 11.--Reoding of az ''in-
tensive bombardpent" or the de
Istructive shell fire" that precedes an
attack gives only vague idea Of the
terrible pummelling and churning
that is wrought on a line of trenches
before the masses of infantry sweep
forward to complete the werk begun
bg the big calibre cannons.
During the recent French attacks
every square yard of territory held
hv the enemy's advanced elements
was drenched by S14 pounds If pro-
jectiles from the field or light artil-
lery. The trench mortars added 40s
pounds of their own particular brand
OF iron and slugs; the heavy artillery
contributed l,40S pounds for their
share, to which the biggest long
range guns added 576 pounds of the
highest explosive shells invented.
For every square yard, therefore,
total of 1856 pounds of death dealing
Il ctal was expended, or almost a ton
and half for a space of thirty-six
inches long by thirty-six inches wide.
The famous French "seventy-fves'
fred on an average of 100000 times
a month, and during one of the re-
cent offensives the cannon of all cali
ibres attained the prodigious figure
o. 12,0O0.O00 rounds in a little less
than week, even after the French
had turned over 800 heavy guns to
their allies.
