Company F Displays
War Equipment
in COgan Window

One of the interesting sights on
Water street is the window display
which Co. r. has laid out in connec-
ton with the work they are doing in
recruiting. The display has been
given a fine location through the
courtesy of the j. II. Cogan hardware
store and the north window of that
store is we'll filled with an exhibit of
the equipment which an infantry
company carries in these modern
times.
OF more than special interest is the
Browning Automatic Rifle. This gun
is now issued to every company Of
infantry in the L. S. Army. 1t
weighs Is pounds. is air cooled and
fires about 200 shots minute. In
spite of the rapidity of fire. it is SO
built that recoil has been reduced to
a minimum. In fact. if the rife
were to be placed on a bank and
fired with one hand it would not
move more than an inch out of place.
In Co. +, the man who desires to take
the Job of automatic rifleman is more
than welcome, as in battle he has one
of the most important positions OF
his unit.
Another weapon that it is doubtful
II any man in Augusta, outside of
few ex-service men. can name. is
that instrument which one man
called IAN unbrenkable beer bottle.
1t is the TromblOn. a weapon which
when screwed on Springfield rifle
will throw (bomb) about 210 yards
with terrible effect in massed troops.
It's main purpose is for cleaning out
machine gun nests.
