EXPLAINS BATTLE MAPS
 MADE FOR ARTILLERY

At the young peoples "Home Time" services of, the United Congregational church on Sunday evening at the Com munity House. Raymond Case told of his experiences as a member of the 302nd Field Artillery regiment in France. Mir. Cases talk was highly in teresting and instructive as it touched on a new phase of the war that has been seldom spoken of in Norwich, the making of maps for the artillery to aid them in directing their fire. Mir Case illustrated his talk with bat tie maps that were actually drawn on the field of battle and which were used in the St. Mihiel sectors. .-
 MT. Case said that he received his first military training at Plattsburs in 1916 and later was sent to Camp Devens and then overseas. His regi- ment arrived at the front only a short time before the armistice was signed Here he assisted in the drawing oi | maps by which the fire of the artil- l lery was directed. One interesting fac1 that was brought out was that Mir | Cases regiment was the first to us' American fieldo artillery pieces on thu battle front. There were only twenty | four of these American field pieces, il | France. He also explained how tn ] French located the big guns either b. 1 the flash method or by sound. Instru | ments with the application of mathe matics would give the exact location
 of any gun in the eneiny's territory.
 Following the talk by MT. Case re l. treatments were served.
