ENEMY'S LONG-RANGE GUNS.

CARRY SHELLS 17 MILES. A panorama of our principal battlefield such, as you may hate_ or enjoy from the Viiny Ridge, or iu grefsfter breadth from a IP balloon or aeroplane, suggests that spring 9 has brought new and new fighting 3 (writes Mr W. Beach. Thomas in the course S, of a message sent to the "Daily Mail). 1 Migrants of war have arrived with migrant S birds. • I The horizon at all points bursts into new {L buds' and flowers of war. Away to the south 81 vast red fires have again bloomed and burst, :| and above them, like a. visible aroma, rises § a peculiar yellow smoke new to experience. a These come from the now thin interval that [3 separates our advanced trenches from the §j Hrndenburg line north of St. Quentin, but » they differ in color and form from all earlier k fires we saw in this debatable land.

At a point of observation sufficiently ' far behind our lines the shrill cry of migrant j shells is heard high in the air, and they cover E > another five or six miles before they pitch [ and settle in some quiet field or village seek- I iug some random victim. These guns, which I are multiplying everywhere, have a range of | 17 to 18 miles, and shells fall in places that I I heard no shell burst till three weeks after S the enemy was driven back. The Germans £ train their men to shoot under the handicap | of masks, and have ;i scientific and a niedi- 3 cal branch dealing solely with vapor poisons: S ■yet even so they suffer more than they in- a ilict. When gas shells- are fired gas shells If are returned. H
