At T resent it is composed of 2.000 bat- a di cries at least. As the batteries now Gov ontain only four pieces instead of witl ix as at the beginning of tiie war, use ho calculation of the power of tie nior .rtilllery in the field must '<o based to 1 n the number of guns rather than can hat of batteries. Whereas in 101 1 he German army possessed only Pro !,8.r)2 field guns it now disposes of r\ 5,000 if the minimum figure of 2,< h) ])ra latteries with which it was furnished con it the end of 1010 is taken as the tha jasis of calculation. These field artillery batteries are 01 i:.nj?i ,.i il V 1UUU lllvU l<? U UIMVIO tliv/ou tu lll'-vl ivith the 77-centimetre cannon (the 1-inch) and those armed with light I 1-inch howitzers. The German H-inch of ?anno nhas been much improved and ofTi its range greatly increased since 1914. Gf As to the German heavy artillery, pC] the increase in the number of pieces Th has been even grater in proportion En than that of the field artillery. In th< peace-time the German Empire had be organized twenty-four regiments of j)0 heavy artillery. Each regiment was Y( composed of two battalions of four batteries, and each battery was armed j)< with four guns, thus totalling 7<>S y( heavy guns. ]a As soon as the army had been mob- i(ll ilized in 1914 the German military nr authorities established new heavy av- os tillery formations. Soon each artill- ch ery regiment of the regular army had attached to it a reserve regiment consisting of four batteries of skilled gunners .also a batalion of four batteries formed from among the third reservists or landstrum. When the arsenals and shell factories later had reached a higher level of production of guns and ammunition further batteries were formed from among Humeri of the Ersatz reserve. Since the first year of the war large numbers of the recruits of the younger classes which have been called out for service have been sent to the artillery branch. By the end of 191 fi the number of heavy batteries had been multiplied more than five times and in the course of 1^17 further additions rrindo to the total. Of the German big guns, 25 per rent, are long-range cannon and the remaiing 75 per cent howitzers.

[Tie Ferrets" Name Given Certain British Battalion Behind British Lines in France, Nonber 15.?Correspondence of The sociate<V Press. There is a certain ive battalion in the British army lich is known throughout the length d breath of the line as "The Fer;S." Tho nickname was given them, . st of all because of their success dealing with the rat nuisance in eir section of the line, and the so*.- i ?r who had most lo do with comtting tho rats is known from Dun- u rk to St. Quentin as 4lO. (J. Rats," e initial being the regular British my abbreviation for "officer comanding." ^ The rats were probably worse in = lis battalion's section of the line last hi inter than anywhere else in Flan- hi ?rs, and many were tffh devices tried re raist the little enemy. Traps of all n< !nds were tried. Bat. devonrinir does b. rere brought up, but in vain. A cat hi ith a tremendous reputation in the U rench villages was purchased and did fs rell at first, killing four rats in ri venty-four hours and intimidating lany others. Thereupon ihe bat ilion made much of the victorious an nal, to its undoing, for it adapted iself as if by instinct to the life of regimental pet, that it, it ate as nueh as it could of the men's raions, took the warmest corner availblc, and quit work. Finally the battalion staff had a i War Council, and dispatched one of ts number to I*>ndon to bring back hree or four good ferrets. In the trenches, the ferrets were in object of great interest. Private rhomas Merryfield emerged from objcurity and was assigned to take *harge of the newcomers. From that lay forward he was known to the army as O. C. Rats. He took his duties seriously, and immediately went into action against the little enemy that had been stealing rood on the tables, running over officer's faces at night, chewing even the laces from men's hoots. The ferrets and their "O. C." put up some great hunts. There were moments of great excitement when the rats bolted wholesale before the new attack and were clubbed to death in the trench by the enthusiastic men. There were also moments of l>7eathless anxiety, when one of the precious ferrets emerged from" a bolt hole somewhere below the barbed wire and was reported steering for the German trenches. One day Merryfield won the censtire of the authorities and the enthusiastic approval and praise of his comrades by retrieving a lost ferret from No-Man's Land in daylight and under fire.
