The Significance Of the
/ Number of Guns Lost

"The probability that lack of gasolene was
more important factor than shortage of
ammunition was suggested by the surpris-
ingly large number of guns reported as lost.
The German statement was to the effect that
in the initial phases of the campaign eigh-
teen hundred guns were captured on the
Italian front. On the other hand it was ex-
planned that large proportion of these we're

HOW TO CLEAN A GUN

The best way to clean a rife barrel
after shooting is to run clean canton
flannel patch through, using either a
brass jointed, steel or hardwood rod
with swivel handle, But always
clean from the breech, never from
the muzzle. When gun is so con-
structed that 1t cannot be cleaned
from the breeeh, wooden or hard
rubber protected rod should be used
After the first clean patch has been
passed through the barrel several oil
saturated patches should be run
Trench and camp. [volume] (Augusta, Ga.) 1917-1919, 1918-06-05

through until the last one comes out
clean. Then it will do no harm to fit
a brass wire or brlstle brush to the
tip OF the rod, dip in oil and scrub
vigorously.
Next dry out the bore with clean
patches and then finally run through
an oily patch and the gun may be laid
away for day or two; then repeat
the performance, for the barrel Will
sweat some of the powder residue
out of the pores of the steel and this
you viii get on the second cleaning.
