That was about the, last, we have heard' of the rifles and the forecasts.

We were told that the day of cavalry charges was about a -half -century in the past -and within a month , there were scores of them. Modern fortresses acting as supports for a field army made a frontier practically impregna- ble, the experts declared -and the German artillery smashed such forts almost as readily and rapidly as you could crack peanuts. Above all, it was pointed out that the deadly fire of the latest, rifles, which kill at any'distance up to two miles, would make it impossible for hostile armies to get fairly in sight f h *other: Germany was held to He Opened It.

Two of the leading makes of this small but dead- ly implement are the Lewis and the Hotchkiss. Essentially there is little difference in the mechanism of these two guns. Both are air-cooled, and both have attained a fire of more than four hundred rounds to the minute. The larger and older types of machine gun are water-cooled. You understand, of course, that the heat generated by an almost continu- ous explosion of smokeless powder is terrific, and unless these guns are artificially cooled, like a gasoline en- gine, they bulge, or "jam,' in a few seconds.

One of the first German contribu- tions' to trench -warfare- was "liquid fire." Just what this substance is does not clearly appear from the avail- able reports of it. It has been used successfully only in the Argonne For- est, where the trenches are at some points almost within bayonet reach of each other. Apparently the burning chemical is'projected from a small tank, the whole apparatus resembling the chemical fire -extinguishers in the halls of hotels and office -buildings.

French in the recent allied offensive. So far their efforts have been entirely un- successful, the French War Office asserts in an official communique, adding that the Teutons suffered heavy losses in the failure of their counter-attacks. Four successive counter-attacks near Souchez were completely repuls- ed, the War Office declares, while in the Champagne, too, "stubborn coun- ter-attacks" against the positions lost by the Germans recently failed. Equally as futile was an attempt on the Lorraine front, where the French allowed the Germans to advance to their wire entanglements and then showered a rain of shells upon them. The 'communique tells of the destruc- tion of a German captive balloon by shrapnel fire from` a mitrailleuse in e F'reneh aeroplane. • The Germans admit that the French have made slight progress, but on the whole, claim to have repulsed the al- lied general.offensive. The towns mentioned in the two of- ficial communications show that the French have approached very close to the Challerapge-Bazancourt railway, which is theirs objective.

' The Bulgarians are said to be fe- verishly fortifying the port of Dedea- ghatch. All buildings on the coast have been evacuated and long-range . guns are being placed in the forts, while the port is being heavily mined. This would indicate that the Bulgar- ians anticipate what is considered likely here, a naval bombardment of Dedeaghdtch by French and British fleets and a possible attempt to land an expeditionary force. The Anglo-French troops, which were landed at Salonica with the ta- cit consent of 'the,Greek Government, are being hurried northward to assist , Serbia, and; if possible, keep the Bul- garians from capturing the Salonica- Nish railway, the only source by which the Serbians can be fed with munitions of war. Public opinion in Bulgaria is not entirely unanimous in support of King Ferdinand, and reports indicatt that the Bulgarian mobilization is not being carried out without difficulty. The King and Premier Radoslavoff, however, have finally thrown in their lot with Austria, Germany` and Tur- key., Invasion of Serbia.. German and Austrian armies of reportedly great strength have cross- ed into Serbia at three widely diver- gent points, and have firmly estab- lished themselves.
