'This Gen. King Hopes Will be Gained From Men Who Served in the War. Brig.-Gen. W. B. King. general | | Officer commanding M. D. No. 3, was the speaker before the Kingston Ki- wanis Club at the weekly luncheon on Friday afternoon, and gave a most interesting account of the Canadian and British artillery in the late war. a vast development in the effective- { ness of this arm of the service and a point of efficiency attained that was undreamed of before hostilities be- gan, "The artillery," said the speaker, "Is an auxiliary arm and is used to assist the infantry, which in the last analysis, really wins all battle. Fire | Power in the hands of infantry rep- | resented by the rifle and machine | gun is an exceedingly difficult thing | to overcome and a frontal attack j cannot be made st these arms. ! The obvious solution to pound the enemy defences of en- ; i trenchmentsg barbed wire and other | | defences, thus cutting a gap through | | which troops can he thrown to work ar 1d the flanks. 914 all the guns that Britain had in France were 484, and some | idea of tbe development of this arm may be appreciated when it is stated that when the armistice came there were on the British front, 6,- 437 guns and howitzers. The Canad- ian Corps had 750 guns in support of them alone. The different types in 1914 were greatly improved. At the | beginning of the war the British {army had the following: Horse artil- lery, 13 pounders of 5,500 yds.; field artillery, 18 pounders, 6,500 yds.: | field howitzers, 4.5 inch, 35 1b. 7,200 yds.; heavy art y. 5 , 60 lbs. shell, 10,000 yds.; scige ry, 6 inch, 120 1b. ahell, 5,- New Guns Introduced. "During 1914-1918 the 18-pounder was increased in range to 9,500 yds.; {the 60-pounder to 15,000; 6-inch howitzer to 9,500, by use of air | recuperation, The | Buns were introduced; 8 inch howit- | zer, 200 1b. shell, with range of 12,- 1000 yds.; 9.2 inch howitzer, 290 RL shell, 13,000 yds.; 12 inch howit- | zer, 750 1b. shell, 14,000 yds.; 6 inch | gun, 100 1b. shell, 19,000 yds.; 9.2 jsinch gun, 380 1b, shell, 23,000 yds.; |12 inch gun, 850 1b. shell, 30,000 |¥ds.; 14 inch gun, 1586 1b. shell, | 35,000 yds. Great as these im- | provements had been they did not | keep up with Gemgmany's improve- | ments. The Germans brought out | an improvement to their centimeter | | gun that gave a range of 25,000 | yards, and in their 35.5 centi- { meter gun to give a rang® of 68, 000 yards. At the beginning all we had was the 6-inch gun and the Ger- mang had a 17-inch, and those who | fought at Ypres in April, 1916, will remember what it felt like to be shot { at by every calibre of arm and hav- | ing nothing to reply with but a few | field guns and how exasperating it | was to have German batteries com- | ing into action in full view and hav- | ing no artillery of your own that { could reach them. | *In ammunition we were deficient, being restricted to three rounds per gun per day, while the Germans ap- | | peared to have plenty of reserve | stocks and used them. I often | thought that the artillery situation | in the early cays of the war was not | such as to inspire confidence in the minds of the infantry. Another bad feature was the lack of standardiza- tion. In 1915 four different types of shrapnel. were on limbers at one time, each one having a differént range table. Battery commanders had to make corrections before fir- ing a round. ° Growth of Organization, | "The number of guns increased land units had to be expanded and | new ones raised.

Butter ran from 65 | | to 70 cents per pound and there was | plenty of it for sale. Chickens were | not plentiful and the price kept well | up. Hind quarters of pork were from 23 to 25 cents per pound and fronts, 22 to 24 cents. The usual | array of greens and vegetables ad- j orned the market, at fair prices. | There is a tendency to lowering of | prices, which is welcome. Late Wednesday night, W. H.

To acquire this, an organization had to be built up that could effectively handle large masses of artillery. At the Somme in 1916 we had plently of guns and | ammunition, but we had to learn how to handle big masses of artillery. It was largely because we learned this lesson correctly and our general staff had the courage of their convictions to effect the necessary re-organiza- tion, that we were able to beat the Germans despite the fact that in guns and ammunition they still maintain- ed their lead. "From 1917 and onwards the Ger- mans had the advantage in quality of artillery material, and we in quan- tity, organization and tactical em- ployment. I feel safe in saying that by the end of 1917 the organization of the Canadian artillery had reach- ed an advanced state and that our lead over several organizations was maintained to the end of the war. The credit for this is largely due to our corps commander, General Cur- rie himself who in developing his poliicy of giving the infantry maxi- mum support was invariably sympa- thetic in his atitude toward Can- adian gunners and gave us the necessary means and encour- agement to surmount the dif- ficulties from time to time. It will be realized that the great advantages we had over the Germans was in mat- ter of organization, as our organiza- tion was developed on the corps front HANSON, CROZIER & EDGAR | PRINTERS MARKET SQUARE, KINGSTON.
