THEIR RIFLE SHOOTING POOR. German Army Depending Chiefly On Artillery ' Fire. The ineffectiveness of the German rifle fire seems to be borne out by 'the hospital records. ¢ "This was to be a war of the laboratory and the machine shop on the German' part," said a high offi- ceriin London the other day. 'They seem. to have paid little attention to the rifle shooting by their men, | but to have: depended: 'upon their artillery, The iufantry was then to be used to tear a hole by sheer weight through the enemy's line.' The immensely heavy siege guns of which so much has been heard, were to meduce fortifications, and have been very successful. The field guns have been extraordinar- ily. well handled, although the shells are said to be deficient. The in- fantry arm was the machine gun rather than the rifle. No army in the world has ever carried so many machine guns--they are of the Maxim tape, identical = with that used by Great Britain--in propor- tion to the number of troops em- ployed. Bursting shells and shrapnel cut and tear, where the rifle bullet bores a neat little hole, easily healed. Reports from the front are that en extraordinary proportion of the men wounded on Both ates have sustained injuries on the face or head: The stories told of some of these wounds are too revolting to be repeated. © These are all shrapnel and shell wounds. Whether the comparative harm- lessness of the rifle fire is to be maintained is doubtful. Acéording to expert opinion' the German rifle is the least deadly arm | used in the Great War. It fires a bullet of only 154 grains, and at- tains the extremely high muzzle velocity of 2,882 feet per second. This Light ball at high speed cuts through flesh -s0 cleanly that the resultant wound hardly incommodes the victim. The British rifle is considered one of the best all-round weapons in the war. 'at a muzzle velocity of 2,060 feet, It is righted up to 2,800 yards, be- ing the longest range rifle nesd in any of the armies; is short and easy to carry, and has ten shots in its [magazine against five for any of | the tl dl 'others. The Russian rifle, it is Buphi, will prove to be the most y. It carries a 214 grain bul- let, at the low muzzle velocity of 1.985 feet per second. - - Tiniest Dolls in World, Isabel Beldunsaran, a little Mexi- {ean girl, is the maker of the tiniest Is in 'the world.

The Horse Is Still Used for the Courier Service. A column of infantry marching four abreast--the regular marching form--will pass a given point at tho rate of 175 a minute.

There are three lines, however, needed fully to man such defences--the fir- ing line, which is down in the trench, a yard between each man; ithe suoport, which is back a short distance, and the reserve; which is behind the support.
