are required to pull one, and It tnkes

It Is a complete surprise In warfare,

smash cement, steel casting, soft met

These siege guns of the Germans,
eleven Inch mortars, are the most star
tllng Innovations In gunnery of the
present war The Scientific American
In commenting upon the German siege
gun says:
The German cloven Inch mortar
marks a great stride In power and
weight and particularly In mobility,
over uny other mobile artillery yet
constructed. The outstanding feature
of this great mortar Is that It Is so
mounted that the gun and Its carriage
can be hauled either by motor or by
horse power ut s|>eed approximating
that of the light siege ortlllery and
that when It has reached the de-slgnut
ed position It takes but a short time to
have the gun and battery ready.
The barrel of the gun la made af
steel, and It consists of the Inner tube
and an outer Jacket, the total length
of the gun being eleven feet The
breech Is opened and closed by turn
lug a handle, and a safety device. o[v
erated bj hand, Is provided which pre
vents premature firing or accidental
opening of the breech.
The gun Is transported on two sep
arate vehicles, eucb of which can bo
hauled by a single motor truck. Dur
Ing transportation one unit consists of
the gun carriage, slide, recoil cylinders,
trail and permanent axle and wheels,
the last named being fitted with broad
fiat feet after the manner of the Pip
lock pcdrnil The nfter end of the trail
during traus(>ortutlon Is mounted upon
a pair of wheels. The gUD Itself Is
transported u|kiu u carriage, upon
which It Is placed In such u position
that the mnjorlty of the weight will
come upon a pair of pedrnll wheels.
To mount the gnu when it has reach
ed Its assigned place all that Is neeos
snry Is to back up the section carrying
the gun against the section eoiistltut
Ing the mount, and then, by means of
wire cables, draw the gun forward
Into the sleeve anil bolt the lug to the
piston rod of the recoil cyllndei The
gun tnius|>ort)iig section Is then drawn
away, the trail Is lowered lo the
ground and the gun Is ready fm tiring
