Text Appearing Before Image:


The Fighting Weapons of Seven Foreign Powers

The German Mauser can fire faster than any other rifle used in the war. The magazine holds five cartridges, packed in chargers

The Austrian rifle is the lightest of all, yet its bullet, 244 grains, is the heaviest used by any of the powers. It is very rapid in action

The British rifle is the outcome of the South African War. It holds ten cartridges and is sighted from 200 to 2,800 yards

The French Lebel is the longest rifle.The tube magazine under the barrel holds eight cartridges. The bullet used in it weighs 198 grains

The Belgian Mauser of 1889 holds five cartridges carried in clips; it cannot be used as a single loader. It weighs over eight pounds

The Russian rifle is 7 in. longer than the British. It is capable of firing 24 bullets to the minute. The bayonet is always fixed

The Italian Mannlicher-Carcano is of the 1891 pattern. It is rather slow, discharging but fifteen rounds of shot a minute


Aeroplane Art of Today


Text Appearing After Image:

Above: A Belgian aeroplane decorated with Brownies. This is done not so much for the edification of the enemy as for the personal pleasure that the Belgian airmen derive from it
At right: A grim Medusa's head which acts as a mascot. To imagine this thing coming out of the sky straight at you is to court a week of nightmares. Perhaps this was the purpose of the artist in painting it.
