CHAPTER V-continued.


1 never saw battery better con-
cealed than this one. Up on the ground
you couldn't see the muzzle twenty
yards aWay-and that was all there
was to see at any distance. There
was ruined garden just outside the
gun quarters, and while the gunners
were there picking apples there would
be hiss and an explosion, and over
would go some of the trees, or maybe
man or two, but never a shell struck
nearer the guns than that. The poilus
used to thank Fritz for helping them
pick the apples, because the explosions
would bring them down in great style.
Shells from our heavy artillery passed
just over the garden, too, making an
awfui>racket. But they were not in it
with the s75's."
They gave me little practice with
TO" undeY the direction of expert
french gunHers before I went to my
14-inch naval. gun, and, believe me, it
was fine little piece. Just picture
TO youfsen a Slittle beauty that can
SEM 5S-pouBd shell every two sec
onos Tor hve miles and more, if you
want it to, andi land on Fritz vest
button every thine. There is nothing
like better TIL Pin a gun, anyway, and
l nave never 81 hce been entirely salts
hed with anything less than a ''75."
AS you probafb know, the opposing
artillery in thiANv WAR is so widely sepa-
rated that Fthe gunners never see their
"a ~fhnless these happen to be
ou k'hgs, and even then it is rare. So,
LIE an artillery officer never sees the
enemy artillery or infantry, he must
depend on others to give him the range
and direction.
For this purpose there are balloons
and airplanes attached to each artil-
lery unit. The airplanes are equipped
with wireless, but also signal by
smoke and direction of flight, while
the balloons use telephones. The OBJ
servers have maps and powerful
glasses and cameras. Their maps are
marked off in zones to correspond with
the maps used by the artillery officers.
The observations are signaled to
receiving STATION on the ground ana
are then telephoned to the batteries.
All our troops were equipped with
telephone signal corps detachments
and this was a very important arm
of the service. The enemy position is
shelled before an attack, either en-
barrage or otherwise, and communica-
ton between the waves of attack and
the artillery is absolutely necessary.
Bombardments are directed toward
certain parts of the enemy position
almost as accurately as you would use
searchlight. The field telephones are
very light and are portable to the last
degree. They can be rugged up or
knocked down in a very short time.
The wire is wound ON drums or reels

and you would be surprised to see how
quickly our corps established COM
nunication from newly won trench
to headquarters, for instance. They
were asking for our casualties before
I'VE had finished having them, almost.
Artillery fire was directed by men
whose duty it was to dope out the
range from the information sent them
by the observers in the air. Two men
were stationed at the switchboard,
one man to. receive the message and
the other to operate the board. AS
soon as the range was plotted out it
was telephoned to the gunners and
they did the rest.
The naval guns at Dixmude were
mounted on fat cars and these were

 When the American press blunders as to German conditions. these errors are featured as evidences of our pro- vincialism All Americans. from President Wilson. down. are assumed ot be hopelessly ignorant of European conditions. Many will recall a dis patch widely printed in our country, to the effect that the presidents Janu- ary message was obe distributed over the hostile territory by allied airmen and that the German govern ment threatened reprisals upon avia- tors captured while thus engaged. The newspapers of the central powers headlined these dispatches with sar- castle comments upon American ig- norance and prejudice. The truth is, that the message was immediately printed in the Reichsanieger, which is the official gaette of the imperial government. and was widely reprinted and commented upon in Germany.
 Controlled by Pan-Germans. ..-.
 But while the newspapers of the Central powers discuss questions of domestic and foreign policy, and de- scribe home conditions, with the same apparent freedom as in times of peace, nevertheless. the restraint that characteries the press Of every coun- try at war is reinforced in Germany by the type of docility that hears a masters voice That voice is often transmitted through the mouth of a banker rather than an official; for high finance and big industry controls most organse of public opinion. This is an especially serious eyS at present for the press of Germany is coming under control Of militarists; annex ationists and indemnity advocates who have invested part of their enor- nous war profits in newspapers in order 10 promot war Thus the Krupp group. which has long had important press organs in Germany, has now extended its holdings in Berlin, where it controls the formerly liberal Lokal Anzeiger. shapes the policy of the Bremen Weser Zeitung and the Dus- seldorffer General-Anzeiger, and still more recently has begin to annex the press of Austria-Hungary. Its agents are reported to dictate the policy of the Vienna Frer1den blatt, semi-offi- cial newspaper subsidized by the Aus trian government; to have bought newspaper at Prague in order to fight the Czechs: and to have purchased smaller newspapers in Austrian pro- vincial towns.

Agirst him will be pitted Fire" Brand or Irish" Levy, both of whom are highly touted as havink wide as sortment of benders.
