provements, hitherto held strlctlv secret, of
both tho German army rifle of the latest pat
tern and tho new Held guns. These explana
tions wero mado to Emperor Francis Joseph
alone nnd not to his military suite. The
Austrian emperor was deeply Interested In
them. The exercises In themselves mado a
picturesque spectacle, wore especially tho
part displaying tho new tactics of the field
artillery.
Tho emperors, nftcr their arrival at the
Jueterbogkt depot, mounted hoises and rode
past tho troops placed lu file from the depot
to tho maneuvers field. Tho whole was un
der tho command and direction of Major

about which Emperor Frnncln Joseph re
peatedly expressed his admiration was thn
exactness of aim shown by both tho artillery
