Both the Springfield and the Ameri- can Enfield have proved wonderfully accurate at from 1900 to 1900 yards. There is a deal of science in firing gun, and our soldiers have to be taught just how high to shoot accord ing to the distance of the enemy from them. There is pull of the bullet to- ward the earth caused by gravity. and the aim has to be high above the head of the man you intend to hit if he-is any great distance away. This is controlled by the sight of our new guns, which can be so set to corre- spoud to the distances the men have to shoot. It Is estimated that the bullet falls from the line it is shot at the rate of 16 feet of the first sec ond, and that the rate of fall rapidly increases. Let us suppose the bullet will fly 2000 feet the first second and that the man Is shooting at an enc my that far away. He will then have to sight almost 16 feet above the head of the enemy in order to hit him IT the man is a mile away he will have to figure for the gravity fall of that mile and elevate his gun to the anglo which in one mighty curve will send the bullet straight to the mark.

half miie a second. For the first few Hundred yards it travels at the rate of l5o0 miles or more per hour. 1t goes 60 times as fast as the fastest Atlantic steamship, and it has tae same pressure from the air as if it were standing still with a gale of 15C0 miles an hour blowing against il. A gale one-tenth that strong will blow down buildings, and the bull let has to bore through or against that enormous pressure. For this reason the point must be sharp, the surface smooth and the whirling motion must aid in bor- ing its way so rapidly on to it's marA The French bullets have sharp points and tapering ends, and the Mauser bullet has been pared down at the rear end by the Germans in order to reduce the resistance of the air.
 Our experts say that this clipping off. the end of the Mauser bullet gives it little greater speed than our hul- let but it reduces its efficiency in that
 1t does not go straight to the mark, The Springfield bullet goes straight or makes just the curve that the man who shoots it directs. The German bullet begins to wabble shortly after leav- ing the rifle. and when it starts on its downward course toward its victim, instead of whirling on its axis and travelling straight, it is liable to turn end over end and be deflected by every wind that blows.

Epf1nSfl6iab MASSat 49L5s 7 HAYH come tg New England to
 show you cur newest machines for J fighting the Germans. do not mean
 the big guns of the navy, some of which fire shells weighing two-thirds of a ton, sending them 42 miles at a shot. I do net mean the mighty steel tanks upon wheels, which go crashing over the country beating down walls and houses and sowing death as the farmer sows wheat Such wagons are few ana they are felt only now and then in great battles. The machines l shall write of are numbered by the tens of thousands, and some of them run up Into the mill Hons. Ore or more of them Is in the hands of almost every soldier They form the weapons of our boys in the trenches, and they mean victory or de- feat when they go over the top. These machines are the new rifles, the Brown ing automatic pistol, and the new ma chine guns. Each will furnish story we'll worth the telling. In this letter shall deal with the rifle.
 Almost every soldier carries a rifle. It Is his chief weapon of offense and defense, and upon it's effectiveness large ly depends his victory over or defeat by his enemy. If the gun is such that he can get in two shots to his enemy's one he can do twice as much damage The fact that it cannot jam or miss fire may mean life or death, and the same ,5 true as to the accuracy of the flight of the bullet on it's way to the mark and the force and shock with which it strikes.
 In ali of these respects the American rifles now being made are superior to the guns of any other nation fighting in Europe. They the most efficient man-killing rifles ever put into the hands of soldiers. and their efficiency is estimated by military experts to be greater than that of any other gun yet invented. The Germans are armed with the latest type Mauser, and the same is true of the Turks and a large part or the Austrlans although some of the lat ter are still using the Mannlicher. The French have been using the Lebel rifle, with a long slender bayonet as sharp as the point of q needle, and the Brit ish have the Enfield, with a sword-like bayonct, considerably shorter than that of the Germans. Our rifles are the new opIlHSIleld, made at the arsenal hefe and the United States rifle, model 19ll which we are turning out by the tens Of thousands week at the great Winches- ter plants near New Haven and at Iion, N. I. The latter is modified Enfield. It is the British Enfield, to which have been added certain special features or the new Springfield and others, which make 1t far more effective than the tn- field used by the British. In this letter l shall speak of it as the Emerican En- field.
 The American Enfield and the Spring field have interchangeable parts ana

they use the same cartridges. Before the war in Europe began the Spring field had won the prize In many shoot ing contests over the guns of 15 diff ferent nations, defeating team after team armed with other rifles, including the Mau5er. It won in the Olympic shoots of 1908 and 1912 and in the latter year carried off the worlds record over all other military rifles at from 800 to 1000 yards. That record still stands.
 It has been claimed that the Mauser bullet has a greater velocity than that of the Springfield or American Enfield, but this, as I shall show later, is due to it's cigar-shaped bullet, whose tail offers less resistance to the air, but so affects the bullet that it wabbles or turns over near the end of it's flight.
 Indeed, the experts of our ordnance bu. reau at Washington believe that our ri- fles are 50 per cent more efficient than the guns of the Germans. If this is so our soldiers can shoot three shots to the enemy's two, and every 200 Americans will equal 300 Germans If we have 100000 men in the field our guns win make. them equal to 100000, as far as killing power is concerned, and this means that we shall need just that many less troops and shall save their trans portation and upkeep in France. As business proposition alone it means the saving of several billion dollars year in the cost of the war, and more than that, considering the difficulties of trans- portation to France On a peace basis it is estimated that it costs 5000 a year to maintain a soldier, and on a war basis, such as We have in Europe, the cost must be more than five times that amount. or $50o0. If by our guns we can add 5o0,09o men to every million We have using rifles, the annual saving will be 500000 times $5000, making a total saving of $, 0,o00 per annum for every mill lion rifle shooters whom we send over the water.

guns are put into frame work at one end of long shooting gallery and high-pressure cartridges are shot through them into banks of sand at the end. The least defect causes the rejection of barrel. and accuracy of required. In some places the metal of certain parts is tested by the fall ing of a ball upon it.
 Some of the most careful work in mak- ing the gun Is on the sight, which is of such a design that the soldier can draw a bead on the enemy much more quickly than the enemy can get the drop on him. The sight is nearer the eye than in the Mauser. It has a large "open peep" through which the eye easily looks and automatically centers itself while aiming. It can be adjusted to the wind, and foreign rifle experts, accus- toned to their own weapons, have been surprised by the better shooting they could do with the Springfield on this ac- count
 The American Enfield is sighted for about 120o yards, and the only thing necessary to change for greater distance Is to elevate the rear sight.
 We are turning out cartridges for these new guns in vast quantities. We have made already more than a billion, or enough to furnish 1000 for each of the million guns now in use The car tlidgos for the rifles fit equally well in our machine guns and the bullets are exactly the same.
 The bullets gre made on scientific prin- cIples and with a careful study of the work they have to do. The type used Is just about an inch long, and with the brass case containing the powder 1t forms a cartridge three and one-half Inches in length. The bullet has sharp I point like that of a pencil, and if you will imagine well sharpened pencil Of l nolished brass an inch long you may 1 have a picture of one of these bullets as 1t lies before me It is composed of a core of lead and tin composition, inclosed | in e jacket of copper nickel. It weighs | less than one-third of an ounce, and IL takes only one-third of It's weight In smokeless powder to fire 1t.
 The bullet is pointed in order that 1t may easily cut it's way through the air, and for the same reason the surface Is as emooth as that of new wedding ring. The resistance of the air is one Of the great problems in the flight of pro1ec- l tiles. As the bullet goes forth from our new guns it has a speed of more than
