Every Train Brought in Boys who HAD
Participated IN the Great war
Across tho sea.

Corporal George SchCnk, son OF Mrs.
Mary Schcnk, was the first boy Of the
314th Field Artillery to arrive yestcr-
day. coming in over the pennsylvania
lines at 1905 o'clock in the morning.
with him came Harry +. Porter of Edg-
wood and Thomas Brannon OF Benwooo'
also members OF the 3l4th Field Artll-
lcry.
John Rcnnctt, member of the twenty
eighth Division, n resident of Fulton
1lSo came in with the bunch on the
Pennsylvania, as did also James Common
of this city. Il member Of the So3th
United States Engineers. The boys were

this party were Edward =. Burke, John
Stump. Mark Neck, Leo Uttcrmohl"n.
Martin Wees John f. Oliver. L. +. Dunn.

start by breaking the enemys line'
which presupposes he attack OF Tor
midahIe field entertainments. Shrapnel
being the main killing projecule which
Is used against troops in the open. Is
primarily used in the defence. In OIL
fcnsivc operations il is used for search
ing communication trenches, preventing
the enemys achievements intervening
in the fight. repellihg counter attacks
and as an alternative for high explosive
shell for cutting wire arrangements. IL
is. however. ineffective against the &C.
cupants Of trenches. breastworks or
buildings. It Is necessary, therefore. TO
have high explosive shell to destroy par
apets, obstacles. buildings and many
forms Of fortified localities that the en-
envy constructs. more particularly his
machine gun emplacements. Without an
adequate supply the attack Is impotent
against the defenders of field fortifica-
tious, as the first step can not be taken.
Guns require fifty percent OF high ex-
plosive smell. Howitzcrs use high -ex-
plosive shell almost exclusively.
We have found by experience that the
field guns actually engaged in offensive
operations, such os Neuve Chapelle. fire
about 100 rounds per gun per day.
Heavy guns and howitzers according
To their calibrc, fire less in proportion.
The guns of the whole army, are. or
course, never equally heavily engaged AT
the same time. but the NUMBER or guns
available and the amount OF ammunition
are the limiting factors when a plan OF
attack Is being considered. There ls'
therefore. scarcely any limit to the sup
ply Of ammunition that could be useful-
" employed. The more ammunition the
bigger the scale on which the attack can
be delivered. and the moro persistently
it can be pressed.
Colonel Fitzgerald and Captain Guest
reported that on May IL and II they had
carried out my instructions and laid the
facts before Mr.. Lloyd George, Mr.. Bal

Colonel Repington's article appeared In

Lloyd George. The successful solution
of the problem came when he applied TO

For my unprecedented action I claim
that no course lay open to me. To or
