Writes a correspondent at the front “ All accounts agree that the French 7.5 gun is a fiendish invention, and that it is served by a corps of men who are pastmasters in their art. The fire of this weapon is more accurate than the guns of the enemy, the timing of the shells more precise am! the shrapnel itsell isa more deadly affair and does burst, which appears to be often not the case on the other side. The result of this has been that the German losses, with their compact formation, have been enormous."
