A member of the German Parliament, who for nearly ten years has been connected with tho army budget committee of the RelcliBtng, tells some Interesting things of tho history of tho now fa mous -iL'-centimetrc siege guns which served tho Germans so effec tively nt Liege and Nnmur. "The surprise that Germany pos sessed such mortnrs," ho says, in an article published by the Neuo Zuercher Zeltung, "was ns great In Germany as It was In other coun tries. After completion of secret tests with these guns some time ago, and the decision of the government to order n number of them, It was a problem as to how to keep tho matter a secret. "Over forty officers took part In the discussions nt which the mil itary budget was prepared for sub mittal to the budget committee of the RelcliBtag. When a new clauso was reached with only tho heading "Arms," the chief of the Depnrtmont of Anns requested that for the time being this subject could not be dis cussed. At the conclusion of the conference ho told me In strict con fidence that the title "Arms" In volved tho new slego mortars. "The general staff requested ur gently thnt not n word be said of tho matter in the committee: not oven tho officers present had any knowledge of It. "Six weeks ago I visited an am munition factory ns n member of the nrmnmeut commission and as certained thnt any number of projec tiles and cases for these mortars could be produced within n very short time. In reply to my question whether theso mortnrs did not wear out rapidly, a director of the com pany said "There nro not enough fortresses In existence In the whole world to wear out u single mortar.' As n mniter of fact our nrmy pos sesses 1!P00 mortnrs of nn earlier date, whlih nre still usable." The official North German Gnzctto also discusses these new mortnrs with special reference to their pro jectiles. It says: "If ii weapon of tho Gorman nrmy has n claim to popularity It Is the 42-centlmetre mortnrs which In spite of their huge dimensions have mnn nged to remain concealed. In fact, the nlck-namo "Drummer," which hns been given to these mortars shows how fnr this popularity has progressed. One cannot bo aston ished that a shot which hurls with' accuracy a weight of eight hundred weights over n spneo of a Gcrmnn mile to Its goal causes nn atmos pheric pressure which for miles around hurls everything Into the air. Reports have shown thnt the pro jectile, after It has left tho mortar, onuses a great nolso only by cutting through the air." 1 rtllrtu Am VAa! mm Ii .lH I uiur in Luiiiiiurn, mi u will 0Q use ful for the peaceful pursuits of the world." The remark has caused widespread comment and hns burntim m mini r the discussion of the probable re sults oi mo war ii ute nines Bhould win.
