BIG GUN CASUALTIES ON BATTLE
LINE KEEP MACHINISTS BUSY
BEHIND BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE, August 15, (Correspond
ence of The Associated Press).—In
war the question of wastage of mate
rial is second only to that ot men.
Armaments became rapidly unservice
able through old age and casualties,
the big guns most of all. For gun
casualties a regular system of hospi
tals exists.
The first-aid station is in the bat
tery itself, where, much as a medical
orderly keeps a supply of medicine
and bandages, a trained artificer keeps
a supply of tools and spare parts. He
can deal with any trifling accident
that may occur, or replace any *small
part that may be broken. The mod
ern gun or howitzer is a complicated
piece of mechanism, requiring con
stant skilled attention if the best re
sults are to be obtained. This atten
tion the artificer supplies.
But, should the gun develop a com
plaint beyond the powers of his tools
to rectify, or should an unlucky splin
ter of shell wound it in some vulner
able part, its removal to hospital be
comes necessary. (*un hospitals are
workshops, wonderfully organized to
deal with the work that falls to their
lot, and staffed by skilled men of the
Ordnance Corps. These workshops are
graded according to mobility, and are
all capable of more or less rapid trans
fer from one point to another. They
are styled light, medium, or heavy,
according to their powers of move
ment and their capacity for dealing
with work requiring light or heavy
tools.
A “Light Ordnance Mobile Work
shop,” to give it its full title, is self
contained upon two or three motor
trucks, ingeniously arranged. The
floor of the lorries carries light lathes
and drilling machines, driven by elec
tric transmission from the engine of
the automobile, Jiglit being furnish
ed from the same source. 1 he trucks
look like ordinary closed motor cars
when travelling, hut on duty the sides
of the vans drop down to form plat
forms around the machinery, and the
interior are transformed into buzz
ing hives of activity. Their capacity
is limited to the work that can be
handled on the comparatively light
tools that they carry.
The next stage is the “Medium Mo
bile Workshop.” This is no longer
self-contained on motor trucks, ready
to limber up and he off at a moment.
It carries machinery that must he un
loaded and installed in some conven
ient shod. 1 he whole is transported
on motor trucks, hut the work is not
carried on in the trucks. There is a
compact oil engine and dynamo, to he
bolted down to a hastily constructed
foundation. There are lathes, milling
machines, every sort of machine tool
that is to be found in a general en
gineering shop. The whole concern
requires about two days to set up and
put in running order. Nearly every
thing except certain intricate repairs,
can he performed here, and it is very
I rarely necessary tor a wounneo gun
| to proceed any further.
But, for the accommodation of real
ly bad cases, there are a few “Heavy
Mobile Workshops,” where anything
that is susceptible of repair may be
dealt with. These are equipped not
only with heavier machinery than the
Medium Workshops, but with elabo
rate additional machinery for special
work. In addition to the big machine
shop, there are pattern-making shops,

wheeler’s shops, a foundry, air com
pressors, and every sort of device to
supply the needs of an army that
fights with highly scientific weapons.
The whole outfit is constructed so that
I it may be taken down and packed
! into trucks drawn by great tractor
engines.
The whole system is a miracle of
organization for a war which, altho
at present mainly one of position, may
at any moment develop into one of
movement. Everything, workshops
inclyded, must be ready to follow' up
an advance. Provision of machine
shops at fixed points might meet the
(conditions of trench warfare, but they
! would become useless as the line of
battle left them behind. So the gun
hospitals, like the field ambulances and
i casualty clearing stations, are fash
ioned upon a plan that allows of ready
movement.
J There remains the case of the gun
i that through long and honorable ser
vice is worn out. It is removed from
1 the battery, to be replaced by one of
a number that lie in readiness at one
of the gun parks behind the line, and.
i is taken back to an arsenal to be re
built. The inner tube, whose rifl'ng
in some cases is worn nearly smooth,
is removed and another inserted in
its stead, after which the gun is ready
to take its place once more in the em
placements of an active battery. 4
JAFFA BURNED
BY THE TURKS
Once Port for Jerusalem With Over
20,000 Population—Whole
District Devastated
NEW YORK, Sept. 0.—The town of
Jaffa in Palestine, formerly the port
for Jerusalem, virtually is in ruins,
according to information received from
Cairo, Egypt, by the American Com
mittee for Armenian and Syrian Re
lief. Jaffa was set in fire by the
Turks, and burned after many build
ings were dynamited, says the mes
sage received by the committee,
which adds that of the villages and
hamlets within twelve miles of Jaffe,
j nothing remains but heaps of ruins
! and ashes.
i “From a line expending three miles
north of Jaffa to the Judiean moun
tains, not an inhabitant remains nor
a dwelling,” says the message. “All
government records have been taken
to Damascus and Nablus. The* people
who were spared from massacre were
exiled to Hebron.”
Jaffa formerly had a population es
timated at between 20,000 and 40,000.
It contained several mosques, con
vents, churches, a bazaar, hospitals,
| hotels and fine gardens. It is connect
I ed with Jerusalem by a railway line
I fifty-four miles long.
