ARTILLERY OF THE
COLOGNE, Jan. 16—(Correspon
denc e of the Associated Cress)—Ilus
- an artillery has proven an excellent
arm in defensive and position fight.
Ing, but has totally failed In offen
sive and mobile maneuvers, accord
ing to a German expert, who gives
his views on the subject In a recent
number of the Militalr-Wochenhlntt.
The snme authority concedes, howev
er, that the efficiency of the Russian
artillery has been greatly Increased
since the Manchurian war. He also
admits flint In the Oerman army the
Russian artillery had been underrat
ed, and indicates that now all of Its
weak points are thoroughly under
stood.
The Germans think so highly of
the Russian artillery ammunition thnt
they are at present modifying some
1200 field pieces at the Rpandu arse
nal as to suit them for a large store
of captured ammunition that could
not be used with the present Oerman
calibre.
The calibre of the German field gun
is two centimeters less than that of
the Russian, and for this reason the
captured ammunition could not be
put to Immediate use. There is
stored in the German arsenals a large
quantity of shells for the former Ger
man field pieces, which had a calibre
about two centimeters greater than
the Russian guns which have been
1 raptured. By widening the rifling
of the Hussion pieces the obsolete
shells may now be used. Some 700
pieces taken by the Austro-Hungar
ians are being similarly adapted.
After pointing out that the Russians
have always had a leaning towards the
defensive, the writer In the Militair
Wochenblatt gives n number of in
stances in the present war In which
this Is demonstrated. The artillery posi
tionr had been selected with the great
est cnre and every possible efTort had
been mnde to protect the pieces anti
their crews. At Ivnngorod It was im
possible for the Germans to find the
Russian batteries without the most
minute inspection with aircraft
As a rule the Russian emploce
inents were well screened with bushes,
and, where those were, hard to find,
with sod and often potato-greens.
Wherever possible the Russians would
seek the cover of woods and trees,
and often the batteries were hidden in
villages and the surrounding gardens.
In placing their artillery, the Rufr
sians usually group the guns In half
batteries of four. This permits effi
cient fire control and gives the ob
servation officer a far greater value
that he would have If directing the fire
of single pieces.
Field glasses which were taken from
observation officers and others, as well
as a mass of other purely technical
evidence, convinced the writer Jhat
the equipment of the Russian artillery
reconnaissance Is very intelligently
divided Into small sectors, each of
which contained no less than 48
points (places which the shell is sup
posed to strike.)
During the first weeks of the war
the Russians increased the number
of their heavy field howitzers, uhtll
each army corps had three batteries
of four pieces each. Before that these
heavy field howitzers were detailed
with the armies (a larger unit than
the army corps) each army having
from three to four batteries,

WILL PEACE FOLLOW
AFTER THIS WAR
WELLINGTON, New Zealand, Jan.
16—(Correspondence ef tho Associated
Press)—Andrew Fisher, Prime Min
Press'—Andrew Fisher, Prime Min
ister of Australia, in addressing a
gathering of politicians and news
papermen soon after his arrival here,
said there was a more Important
question than how long the war will
last,, "and that Is, how long will peace
last after the war.”
Mr. Fisher was discussing the neces
sity of New Zealand and Australia
joining hands in some action looking
to the protection of British interests
in this section of the world.
“The question of the defense of the
Pacific,” he remarked, "is a matter of
urgent necessity. Somo people think
that after the end of this war there
will peace for many years. But this
is too uncertain a foundation on which
to build for permanence and security.
“Nor should we depend upon the
mother country for our defense, now
that our strength enables us to act in
our own behalf. The national devel
opment of Australia and New Zealand
will lie stimulated if they rely on their
own resources by maintalng a naval
force which is a direct part of the
British Navy, but under local executive
control.
“The day has come when self-re
spect should persude us to abandon
our policy of reliance upon the Brit
ish taxpayer.”

CROWN PRINCE
BERLIN, Jan. 12—(Correspondence
of Associated Press)—Though alrendy
known throughout Germany as a most
democratic sort of young man, the
German crown prince's reputation In
that respect has become more gen
eral since the outbreak of the war.
The telegrams he has sent home to
various newspapers, asking them to
make collections of cigars, rum and
many other things for "his” soldiers
are scores In number, nor has he
omitted In a single instance to thank
the public and publisher for their ef
forts.
Fritz Schmidt, grand master of the
Berlin Master Bakers Association,
who has Just returned from the west
em theatre of war where he went to
deliver three carloads of Christmas
stollen, which had been donated by
the Berlin bakers, also presented the
crown prince with six baskets of
Christmas cakes and other products
of the baker's oven. He tells how he
was received by the crown prince
shortly after his arrival at headquart
ers.
“I was taken to a large room, where
I utrucked my baskets, putting their
contents on n large table covered with
a clean tablecloth." snid the master
baker.
"I was hardly through with this
when the crown prince came in. There
was nobody with him, and he looked
quite healthy and fit. 1 conveyed to
him the greetings of the Berlin master
bakers, and thanked him for having
accepted our present. I also told him
that we had sent three carloads of
'stollen' to the army.
"The crown prince said he knew of
that and was pleased to inform me
that the three carloads had arrived
on the day before.
“Th5 crown prince was very pleas
ant, and we came to talk on some of
the losses which certain regiments
had sustained.
" I know that,' remarked the crown
prince. 'Some of them have lost
heavily. But that can't be helped.
We’ve got to win.’ ”

LECTURES ON ALASKA
CREATING INTEREST
Another evidence of the interest,
that is being taken in Alaska by people
in ail sections of the United States
is shown by the press notices given
Asa C. Baldwin, formerly of the Al
aska boundary survey, and now lectur
ing throughout the country.
Mr. Baldwin is delivering a series
of lectures regarding Alaska, in the
schools of all the larger cities of the
United States, and, according to the
press notices, is disseminating some
information that Is known to but few
people who have not traveled in the
North.
In his lecture at Minneapolis the
engineer predicted a big boom for the
interior as soon as the railroad is
started, and he assured his audience
that the rush of business would be
justified by conditions.
