HENRY SCHWARZ, Proprietor ,
fv.-v.?n nwnlhs of the most terrific
fi; !it!;i(r t lie world has ever known
a. .(.:, many previously accepted
liiiii'ary theories, caused others to be
modified, placed the individual sol
dier in the background, and made
artillery preeminent in war.
War.a it is tVu;-;ht today, is large
ly :i waiter of pulling one death
tl ;i liny machine against another.
This means that, more than ever be
fore, the army wi'h the strongest
artillery i;i the superior force. It is
( the Ions-range field gen, heavy how
itzer, and high-c-xpU.-rlve projectile
! which weaken the enemy's resist
ance, more than rifle fire from the
; trenches.
! At the beginning of the war, Ger
many's heavy artillery was wheeled
onto the batthi field for the first time.
The enormous power of its big howit
zers constituted the one real sur
prise of the war. The introduction
of a 16.5-in. seige piece to batter
down fortifications was just as rad
ical an innovation as was the "Moni
tor" when it made its appearance at
Hampton Roads during the Civil
War. So at the opening of the
world-wide struggle Germany's ene-
I mies were in one particular unpre
pared; the forts in Belgium were hot
built to withstand anything heavier
than a 9-in. shell, and even the 11-in.
Krupp howitzers were too much for

Germany, so far as is known, Has
only two of the great 16.5-in. howit
zers. And now it is reported, prob
ably correctly, that Great Britain has
developed an even greater engine of
death, which will be brought out
when the first chance comes. The
new ordnance is supposed to be mod
oled afler the master Krupp piece
and to have a 17-in. bore. There is
little doubt that in a number of in
stances the Germans have been cred
mortars than were actually fired, as
tted with using much larger siege
for instance at amur. where it is
now declared that the 11.2-in. howit-
:er was employed. This weapon has
frequently been mistaken for the
targer one and pictured as it. Its
existence was not unknown prior to
the opening of hostilities. In fact
it was so well known that France, in
1911, also developed an 11.2-in. how
itzer of equal destructive capacity as
a rejoinder. This is a Sneider gun
and is provided with a stationary
mounting, concrete anchor weight
and ground plates, when in action
Instead of being fired from its car
riage.
From this it would seem that
Germany's strength in siege artillery
is no greater now than that of her
enemies. The reason that so much
has been heard of the heavv Krunn
guns and so little about the Sneider
howitzers of the French is obvious
So far Germany lias been fighting
largely on the offensive in the terri
tory of her enemies, breaking
through solid fortifications and
storming cities. The allies, on the
other hand,' have been resisting in
vasion. If the coming of spring
brings with it an invasion of Ger
many, which will mean the storming
of the fortifications along the Rhine,
the Sneider Beige howitzers and
possibly the new British piece will
be brought out for action. Until
such a time, however, there is little
or no opportunity to use them.
Very little actual information has
filtered through the German lines re
garding the 16.5-in. seige howitzer,
or mortar. The measurements of
the 11.2-in. howitzers, however, are
known and military authorities, us
ing these as a basis of there calcula
tions, have compiled figures for the
larger weapon which approximate
accuracy. These estimates place the
weight ot ordnance with the breech
block at 21.3 tons; the weight of the
piece in action, 50 tons; the heaviest
load to be transported, including
transport wagon, 31.3 tons; the
weight of the shell used, 2, 5651b;
recoil energy, 1,530 tons.
The actual number of these large
siege guns and howitzers is compara
tively small and by far the greatest
part of the fighting has been carried
on with field guns of enormous power
but no extreme size. Britain's 6-in.
howitzer, used on a field carriage,
has won the admiration of its allies
and the respect of its enemies. The
same is true of the French 6.20 in.
piece, while France's favorite "75,"
a o-in. gun. has heen used with vrv
telling effect. France has another
field gun, a 4.20-in. weapon, which
is a large edition of the "75."
In the past, artillery has been used
more for its moral effect than actual
ly to destroy the enemy. This is no
longer true. Today it is the real
reliance of the army. With the aid
of the reconnaisance aeroplane the
enemy's trenches may be located and
obstructions sighted. When the
range is found, the shells rightly
timed, and the firing commenced,
whole entrenchments mav be blown
awuy and great areas swept clean of
entanglements and other blockades.
It is extremely difficult to conceal
the position of trenches from aerial
observors, and equally hard for sol
diers to survive the fire of massed
artillery. Never before have such
careful precautions been taken in the
construction of intrenclnuents as in
the present struggle. Bomb-proof,
covered, and undercut trenches are
practically new to warfare, as is the
British trench with individual stalls
which furnish protection on the
sides from bursting shells and shrap
uell. The gunner today occupies a
place of far greater importance than
Sometimes it is difficult to meas
ure, to weigh or circumscribe public
ioiitiment; the common opinion of
the people in general. This may
arise from your own lack of infor
mation and insight or it may be that
there is no common sentiment among
the people regarding the matter in
hand.
There was no difficulty during the
middle of the nineteenth century to
determine how the northern states
regarded slavery from the moral
standpoint. There was much diffi
culty in determining just how they
regarded slavery with reference to
the union of the states and the course
to be persued in its treatment by the
nation as a whole. On the one noint
their mind had been made up, on the
other point a powerful minority
could prevent a common sentiment.
1 he same has been true of the Dro-
hibition question. Prohibition as a
moral question has received a much
more rapid endorsement than prohi
bition as a political question, and yet
there seem .to be signs of the rapid
approach of the time for a national
proclamation of prohibition.
The hope of the world is in a con
tinual change of public sentiment to
meet the continuous rise of new
.iroblems. Spokesman-Review.
