14 U.S. PLANS GREAT EXPANSION OF FIELD ARTILLERY {American Artillerists Will Use Famous, French 75's; Thousands Turned Out French Artillery Saves Lives of Infantrymen By Associated Press American Training Camp in Franco, Oct. 26.—Major General Sibert, returning from arounif Soissons, where he witnessed part of the French offensive on the Aisne front, said that tho French losses had been extremely small because of the effectiveness of tho artillery preparations. He and the other American officers were en thusiastic over the importance of the French victory, especially as to the amount of material ana number of prisoners taken. The American officers were impressed greatly with tho preponderance of the French artillery over the Ger man. guns. * J Washington. Oct. 26. Arrange ments have been completed for speed expansion of the field artillery branch of the country's military service on a scale so large as to be beyond all precedent. An artillery schol of large propor tions is already under way at Fort Bill, another at Tobyhanna, Fa., and a number of others are springing up quietly but efficiently. The principal part of the education, however, is to be carried on at the great artillery school of Fontaine bleu, and other training quarters in "France. There 2,500 young men t time will receive a four inontns' in tensive course which will lit them as artillery officers. All this is preliminary to the great drive next spring and summer along the whole western front. That huge j jLift Out Your Corns!

Everyone In tha above group has purchased a Übert y Bond. effort will be largely an Artillery af fair in which American soldiers man ning French "lis will be called upon to do their full share. Artillery One- third of trmy What that full share will amount to is realized when it is known that the present proportion of artillery in France is one-third of the total mili tary offensive. That astounding ratio will be maintained, possibly in creased, when the co-ordmatea u" of Kngland, France an£ the l'n*. States begin their thunderous effort next April. Shells for tho use of the artillery are already being heaped mountain high in anticipation of the great drive. The making of a sufficient number of guns is another problem, and, had it not been for the co-op eration of France, it might have been a stumbling block to our progress. France Speeds Output With the speeding up of the French plants which turn out the famous 755, however, the handicap has been over come and the lads who are to com mand the gun crews will find the long, slim weapons with their char acteristic horizon-blue camouflage ready for them when they leave the schools that are to make them flrst closs artillery officer*. Speculation as to the future of the new artillery service is being in dulged in quietly here. Will we take over the 75 as our standard field piece through an arrangement with the French government growing out of the war, or will we use the 75 as the foundation and the inspiration for field guns of our own? That is the question that, if it has already been answered officially, is locked in the breasts of the War Department officials of France and the United States.

ANNOUNCE BIRTH West Falrview, Pa., Oct. 26.—Mr. and Mrs. King, of Hill street, an nounce the birth of a daughter. HARRISBURG s£s£& TELEGRAPH OPERATIONS TO BE CONSIDERED Compensation Board Issues Ruling on That Phase The Pennsylvania State Compen sation Board in an opinion given in Engblom vs. American Steel and Wire company answers a suggestion that it state its policy in regard to operations where conditions may he improved by saying, "If the board shall be satisfied from the evidenco in any case that the disability caused by the injury can be removed by a surgical operation and that the oper ation will not add other disability or by any chance endanger the life of the employe and shall be further satisfied from the manner and tem per of the injured employe that his refusal to submit to the operation is an act of malingerer or of mere whim and unreasonable timidity on the part of the employe, such action will be taken and such control of compensation payments will be as sumed by the board as shall tend to persuade tlje employe to submit to an operation." • The commission makes a ruling in the case of Kondratik vs. Hudson Coal Company, a Scranton case, in which the overtime question was raised, the contract resulting from the agreements between the anthra cite operator and the Miners Union and providing that eight hours shall constitute a day's work and that all over that shall be considered over time being offered. The board finds that the man worked twelve hours a day and was paid on that basis and says: "Under the facts and circum stances of this case we cannot agree that four hours out of each twelve hours that the deceased regularly worked is to be regarded as 'over time' and excluded in computing his average weekly wage. This, it seems to us. would not be just and equit able." The referee is sustained in taking into consideration the entire amount earned in the full twelve hours a day.
