We were amply furnished with “75s” since the beginning of the war. The number of these guns was constantly increased; it is adequate to our needs. As for the heavy ar tillery, we had in August, 1914, 300 guns grouped in regiments. In June, 1917, we had 6,000 of them, mostly modern. During our present, offeu- H NBR THE SUMMIT!
