HOW TO SHE'LL AND
DESTROY ENEMY GUNS
Being Taught in the Radio School Of the
Coast Artillery at Fort
Monroe, Va.

Fort Monroe, Va, Aug. l6,--"Scores OF
German machine gun nests hidden in this
wood stopped the advance of our troops,
but the American artillery opened so hot
and accurate fire ON them that the ma
jority of them were silenced; the infan
try then rushed the others" is often the
wording of an official communique from
the front in France.
How to do that little trick is being
taught in the radio school of the coast
artillery here. Graduates of this school
are trained to show the men firing the
heavy or light American guns placed
several hundred yards behind the fight
ing line how to shell and destroy enemy
batteries, bridges, railroad centers, store
houses, massed bodies of troops and all
the other resources so necessary and vital
to the enemy.
In this work the Americans in France
have won high commentator from the
French as we'll as American commanders.
To accomplish this there must be accur-
ate observation, correct transmission of
the information back to the artillery
headquarters, calculation of the range
and direction at which to set the guns
and the rest is simple.
Observations far behind the enemy
lines are made by airplane. The aerial
observer has wireless sending set, and
back near headquarters there is a radio
sergeant with wireless receiving set
As soon as a message is received at
headquarters, it is telephoned to all bat
teries firing or about to fire on that
target
Telephone lines connect each battery
with its headquarters, and each head
quarters with the next higher in the
chain of command These telephone lines
have been constructed, and are main
tanned, under all difficulties encountered
in modern warfare by the electrician
sergeants. These electrician sergeants
also operate the searchlights that are
used in night operations of all kinds
against hostile aircraft and bodies of
troops
Every time gun is shifted, its loca
tion on the map must be accurately de-
termined by survey and triangulation. It
takes a specialist to do it, and this spe-
cialist is an enlisted man trained as a
master gunner
These radio sergeants, electrician ser
geans and master gunners are being
trained for this service in u weeks
course at the coast artillery school here.
Hundreds of men are being turned out in
every class. Any civilian whether he be
subject to draft or not, or any enlisted
man now in the service, is eligible to
enroll for this course Of training and at
tend the coast artillery school, provided
he has the proper qualifications physical
and mental. The physical qualifications
are those required Of all recruits for
general service. The mental qualifea
tions are outlined in a bulletin issued
by the coast artillery school, which may
be had for the asking. Requests for this
information may be made of the director,
department of enlisted specialists, coast
artillery school, Fort Monroe, Va.
Course for radio sergeants, electrician
sergeants and master gunners win begin
about Sept. l6
