American Invention
Upsets Theory of
Artillery
THE POMP AND THE POWER
According to newspaper accounts King George,
accompanied by the Queen of England, went over
to the camp of the American "Sammies" in Eng
land and was struck by the soldierly appearance
of the Boys from the States. No doubt he was
pleased with them, and they probably enjoyed see

WASHINGTON. An ingenious Am
erican must again be given credit for
another revolutionary invention, this
time one which is calculated to upset
the whole theory of artillery battles.
The new invention, the name of
which must be kept secret for military
reasons, is based upon an invention per
fected by the United States Bureau of
Standards, the decremeter, an instru
ment which is used to tell the loca
tion of any noise producing body by the
decrement of the air waves produced.
By means of the new invention,
which is now in actual use on the
French front, it is possible to tell the
exact location of a German cannon,
even when it cannot be seen or heard.
It is possible to judge, even at a dis
tance of eight miles, so accurately the
position of an enemy gun that a shell
can be placed within 50 feet of the
cannon aimed at.
The instrument now in use is set
up at a certain point on the French
line, and the actual distance to the
enemy cannon is judged by the decreas
ing air waves. From another instru
ment at another point in the French
line a similar reading is given so thf
