The chief heavy siege guns, which are all howitzers, are as follows : The troubles of. a commander doomed to drag about with him weapons weighing thirtyâ€"four tons in wet weather on bad roads may be imagined,. The British army will only hope that Gen. von Kluk has remembered to take with him some of the German 11 inch howitzers, which did so much damage at Naâ€" mur. are weapons which fire rifle cartâ€" ridges with great speed by mechanâ€" ical means, the force cf the recoil being generally used to reload the gun. They are very portable and exceedingly deadly and make reâ€" ma,rlmbly good shooting. ‘Thus, in a test, fortyâ€"two (?nhsh first class shots were pitted inss a maâ€" chine gun agd eacfi:e? at m same target for one minute.

The British division has with it four _ admirable _ sixty pounder guns which have a range of 9,500 yards and are very effective The French do not _ employ a howitzer in their field artillery ; the Germans have a heavy pattern of 6 inch calibre, firing a shell of about ninety pounds, and a lighter pattern of 4.2 inch calibre. Each army corps has eighteen of the lighter and sixteen of the heavier howitzer, in addition to 126 field guns. on ! The defect of the howitzer is that its shell is very heavy, and conseâ€" quently much fewer rounds can be carried than with the field gun. There is no security that a single bhowitzer shell will do twice the damage of an ordinary field gun shell, though it weighs twice as much. In the British Army every division has fiftyâ€"four field guns and eighteen howitzers. These howitzers are of 4.5 inch calibre, firing a shell 4.5 inch in Giameter and weighing 35 pounds. They have a range of 7,200 yards, which is 1,000 yards greater than the rangs of the British field gun. The bursting charge breaks the thin steel case, when the bullets sweep forward with the velocity imâ€" parted to the projectile by the gun. Shrapnel are regarded as good "manâ€"kilers,‘‘ but they are quite ineffective against buildings, where shells are deadly. For the attack of field guns and buildings and for action against troops in trenches most armies employ howitzers, which are short, squat guns that toss their projectiles high in the air, high angle fire. British and German Forees Have Howitzers; French Anâ€" other Weapon. Shrapnel, so called after their inâ€" ventor, the British General Shrapâ€" nel, are thin cases of tough steel containing a large number of bulâ€" lets, in the British artillery, 263 and in the French and German 300, with a small bursting charge at the base of the projectile. _ THE NATIONS AT WAR USE qQUITE A NUMBER.
