NEA Service Staff Correspondent
New York, Sept % - During the
81 years since Versailles, countless
rumors have circulated about won
der weapons which were being de-
yeloped in the military laboratories
Of the world.
These modern wonder weapons
included such old favorites of the
comic strip as the robot bomber
and the death ray which, reports
stated, had finally been perfected
and now are ready to annihilate
soldier and civilian alike.
And now comes Reichsfuehrer
Hitler to hint in his Danzig speech
that he may use new and ter
rible weapon if the war continues.
Yet today, as the French and
English slowly move forward into
German territory under the clear
ing bombardmenS of their own
artillery it is murderous machine
gun fire, concrete pill-boxes con
tanning anti-tank guns, tank
traps and regulation big guns -
not death rays and bombs of
deadly bacilli - that bar their
way.
BETTER WEAPONS,
BUT MUCH THE SAME
For actually extremely few new
weapsn have been developed since
1918. Improvements have been vir-
tually the only change. The field
guns used by the French army in
their current battle of the Saar are
still. for example, the rs and 1855
millimeter guns used 81 years ago.
All that has happened is that
thsir ranges are longer, their fire.
control instruments more accur-
ate. their lateral angles of fire
wider, the explosions slightly
bigger, and their speed over
roads in good weather greater.
The new German howitzers
have many advantages over SINH
lap guns used in the last war, but
the advance made has not been
sufficient to overcome Frances 155
millimeter gun which - like the
one recently developed by the U.
S. Army at Fort Bragg, N. G. =
hurls a l00-pound shell close to Is
miles.
Contrasted to the cumbersome
l55 millimeter gun used in the
last World War, the present gun,
weighing 30,765 pounds, is mount
ed on ten-wheel pneumatic
tired carriage which makes pos
sible hauling speed of IL miles
an hour.
THE KILLER
MACHINE GUN
But the one weapon which in
1918 was king of the battlefield and
which still lives up to its title today,
Is the machine gun. Yet the only es-
sential difference is that it Is Slight
ly more accurate, fires heavier
projectile a greater distance, and is
more widely used.
The big 8. II and 14-inch guns
which dot the terrain behind the
western front forts are virtually sea-
coast defenses moved to the inter-
rior. Yet they are little different
from the siege guns which battered
emplacementS and trenches to
pieces in the last war. --.
About the only great change in
artillery fire along the western
front today Is the German reluct-
ance to squander millions of dol
lars on an artillery luxury like
the 75-mile Big Berthas of 1918.
Those Big Berthas were not
without value, however, for they
taught Germany, as well as
France, not to invest in great
super-cannons of an unorthodoX
caliber which could be moved
from one sector to another to
bolster weakening defense.
