| LONDON.—A wounded artillery of
ficer who has returned here from
the front, says Reuter’s Paris cor
respondent. gives some interesting
details concerning the working and
the effects of the fire of the big tier
man howitzers which have been de
scribed as seventeen-inch guns.
“If well served and employed under
proper conditions,” the officer said,
“these guns are very effective, but
their handling and transport is so
difficult that this rarely is the case.
Even forty horses harnessed to the
guns are unable to drag these gigan
tic pieces over the French roads,
J soaked by the autumn rains, while
'the mechanism of the guns is so deli
cate and complicated that it is ex
Itremely difficult to replace lo: parts.
"Again, while effective at distances,
the big howitzers are comparatively
harmless at close range, and the gun
ners at the mercy of bayonet
charges. Moreover, the shells nearly
all but st too soon, too late or not at
all. The troops quickly grasped the
best method for dealing with these
monsters. Once having passed the
zone of their fire, the French, being
handy with the 75-millimeter guns,
sweep away the German artillerymen,
and than charge. Already a fair num
ber of the guns have been captured
this way.”
The officer said the big howitzers
wore only really useful if properly
supported by light artillery and infan
try.
