the threshold Of his life this Publican
caught the vision and responded. say
ing, Half of my goods | give 10 the

Any artillery service trains its men
in the automatic truth that artillery
must he accurate in order to be use
full. The reasons for this are the great
cost of guns, powder and projectiles
amounting TO about $4,000 per round
for d 12-inch gun, the difficulty OF
transportation to the battle area and
behind the lines, the fact that the &C
curacy life of big gun is very limi
| ted, a 12-inch gun can only be firet
about 200 times, the high degree o
expert labor that is used in the manu-
facture, and the fact the best conceal
merit is accurate firing The morale
and energy of aviators, observers ant
battery personnel is also preserved by
accurate firing.
