THE EFFECT OF
MASSED ARTILLERY
one of the principle features of the i
war for naval development is the <
splendid way the Germans have work- i
ed with mussed artillery in sweeping I
all before them for the advance of
their infantry.
Anyone accustomed to returning
homeward along Regent Street, Oxford
Street or the like in the early hours of
morning will lie familiar with the wax
in which these streets get their morn
ing wash. Now imagine a line of lire
men shoulder to shoulder across the
top of Regent street, everyone with the!
nozzle of a water main pipe in Ills hand ;
held at the highest effectual elevation |
Then Imagine every drop of water fall
mg away in front on the pavement toj
be a shrapnel bullet, and underneath j
tile water arch, close to but clear of the
nozzles, a line of men advancing, and I
then you have an Idea of the method of j
advance of the German armies. There!
has never been such a demonstration '
uf the effect of massed artlllerj since
the invention of gunpowder. This is
the feature, more titan any other with i
contributed to the success of the Her
man advance. It was terrible • in]

REAL COURAGE
IS REQUIRED
Now If you want to know wliat Is the
supreme showing of courage In war.
it Is that called for and shewn by the
field artillery riders. The guns are mi -
limbered in position and start into
action at once or wait. In either case
the horses and tlielr riders have to
wait close by.
If they are not under fire already,
they have to wait until the opening of
tire by the batters luings them under
ttie enemy’s fire.
Now the point is, the men serving (lu
guns are busy desperately, absorb
ingly busy; but for the riders, theirs
I
, is to wait and look on—to wait and see
themselves being shot at.
Through the eager Held glasses of
the enemy’s gunners that they knew
are scanning them, they are more ob
served than the guns themselves—the'
and that bunch of horses of theirs
Yet they must not, and they dare not
nud they do not move.—This is valor
supreme.—Colliers Weekly.

NEUTRALITY OF
BELGIUM IN 1870
_ i
Justin McCarthy in his "History or
Our Own Times" Vol. II, pi>. 505, re
ferrlnp to conditions at the time of
the Franco-Prussian war says:
It came out in the course of the
caper diplomatic discussions which
were poinp on, that there had been
some secret talk at different times of
a private enpapement between France
and Prussia which would have allowed
France on certain conditions to annex
Belgium. This astounding revelation:
excited much alarm in England. The]
government met that possible dangei 1
by at once pressing upon France and
Prussia a new treaty by which thesel
powers bound themselves jointly with'
England to maintain the Independence j
of Belgium, and to take up arms!
against and State invading it ”
