This Continent.'
John W. Hessian, Son of
Hrs. Thos. Hessian, Clinton.
Philadelphia,' March 27th; — When
spring opens hi earliest the war in
Europe will develop a •fury and pro-
portion that will make what has al-
ready passed in this epoch-making and
stupendous struggle of the European
nations 50010 weak and pony br com-
parison. Five million fresh ..allied
troops, which have never .yet: '`been
seared by the marls of battle in -this
great tear, will be thrown ta'gainst` the
German forces in France'. aiflt-
gitnnj with Lord Kitebener,, the great
English military organizer; who up
to this:. time. has been content to dir-
ect operations front London, in sup-
reme command by the field."
The foregoing is part of a remark-
able statement of European war ebu-
ditaons and developments made to a
reporter by John W. Hessian of
Bridgeport, Conn., America's greatest
military and sporting rifle shot and
expert, holder of numerous world's
records, wio recently returned 'from
a business trip that brought him in-
to official contact with Alm English,
Menet' and Belgian military authorit-
ies from London clear out to the bat-
tle lines.
Mr, hessian is a native. of Clinton,
Ontario, Canada, and a son of Mrs.
Thos. hessian of that town.
Jlessian's mission and his knowledge
of military matters, and the opportu-
nities he had for obtaining first-hand
informatio» and material, snake his
statement the most• remarkable }let
produced by the tzar. In'. an• interview
lie said in. part : '
"But little has been 'permit ted to
leak out, even to the newspapers • on
Um ether side, of the preparations
that England and France, but par-
ticularly the former, are making for,
the main drive fn the spring. One of
these things ,that has consumed., the
English attention' has been the snaking
of great field guns to outshoot the
marvelous 42-cenlamcl.01; - anis of the
Teutons. Leading 1 nglis1 authorities
admitted to mo that they are going
to give 1110 Germans a surprise in this
respect as 00011 as operations are op;
erred up. The English rushed to com-
pletion a number of big ' guns that
will shoot as accurately and at least
1 11110 and a hall farther than- the
greatest the Germans have produced.
"England has also not been idle in
the matter of submarines. The Brit-
ish havebeen taught a lesson by the
Germans that they will long rcinorn-
ber. Since the' first successful Ger-
man operations last fall' `tire 'English
navy yards have been working night
and dap to tura but larger and
speedier submarine boats than those
of the Germans, and they are going
to meet .the enemy at his own game.
'i'liese new English boats have the
marvelous speed of 31 knots an Hour
which will make tlreni not only faster
than the German boats, but also able
to outfoot the best cruisers and bat-
tleships. Besides they will have a
greater cruising radius."
