VERY trader of the magazines

that the most successful gun
the year ties developed• is the 75-
mi}{imeter field plece used Ip the
French armies since October, 1915.
Every military mea knows approxi-

TO OUR CORRESP({NOENTif.`
The Signal would like to have the news
each week from every point covered by
uur correspondents -in fact, from every
point in the surrounding country. We
do root want it saved up until there is an
imposing budget: we want it fresh as it
haptens each week. We should like
correspondents to send in their budgets
by Tuesday of each .sleek. and would ap-
preciate it if each of them would send a
budget, Targe or small, every week. Let
us know when you are out of stauoltery
and ee shall be pleased to supply you.
Correspondents are wanted at any
points in the adjacent township;; not

above the British, Italian, German,
and Austrian "heavies."
But in the difference that really
exists lies the reason why Paris,
Calais, and the whole west roast of
Northern France is not now conquer-
ed territory! It Is • wonder gun, a
mystery glen; It is the gun that the
frantic German General Staff hes
singled out with a bloody questr
mark.
Wherein lies its superiority'' The
answer sounds ridiculously simple.
The "75" can fire 50 aimed shots a
minute; the best Krupp or Skoda
product can deliver five or 81x.
There is the "edge," a simple matter
of five to one!
Not only are the Teutons' weapons
inferior in this respect, but te best
United States' three-inch fie) piece
can fire on an average but six coed
shots a minute. And even this sinal)
total is sufficient to surpass the abil-
ity of the British and Italiana.
The French own the secret. and
from present indications they would`.,
surrender Verdun rather than
breathe ape key to tee mystery across
the serried waste to the east of their
first-line trenches.
Here Ices the marvelous part of It
all. The Germans. With all their
fiendish mechanical ingenity. have
plenty of opportunity to examine this
gun at home in their Krupp labora-
tories! When first the French loosed
a rain of shrapnel from the mouths
of the first Increment of "75s," the
Germans knew they had encountered
a tier type of weapon.
On -tee twenty-sixth day after the
debut wipe by these guns, eight of
them were_captureed by the mass at
tack of a division of picked German
troops. who penetrated one sector of
the Allies' )foe, 'carried off fbeir
prises, and then retired. not even

Four thousand German troops
perished to attain this oneeeobject,
but for the nooce It was considered
worth while sacrifice. The world had
not yet produced a work of genius
which the German mind could not
qua) or surpass --at least, that was
e Germans' belief.
Months passed. Finally the Krupp

The woman at hole. deep in house-

on a mother's health are many and
