Military -perts here are of the opinion that It la rilghly probable the ti tssnt war will ea the end of the rifle at the principal vMpon of Infantry. According to German agents In Hol land, the German army la raptdly eubelt. tutlng men armed with machine gims In place of rifles. Men no armed.' and pro tected hy concrete works and wire en tanglements, can hold off a long line of the enemy. The tendency. It la said, la to bring np main foroee of Infantry only In emergencJea. At the beginning of the war. Germany waa credited with having oftOOO machine guns. Notwithstanding aome heavy loseea of theee weapone. the factorlea have been working day and night an It la now aaserted that the number being uaed on the various fronta la twice that total. A German agent In Rotterdam etatee Germany's esse at followa: Opiates hy Kapcrt. "Military sclencs develops o rapidly In ttmea of actual war that the weapon of today aoon la discarded and eomethlng better taken up. The greateel aeeet Ger many poaaeeaee la Ita ability lo aee ahead and make today the weapon of tomorrow. "With the enemy, the rifle la a aort of fetlah. The Engllali are highly elated because the war haa ahown that their men can shoot atralghter and quicker than the Oermane. There la little cause for triumph. A large part of Ihe time spent In training their troopa la apentj In teaching them Ihe construction and uee of the rifle, while our men are being taught how to handle and aerve the ma-j china gun. I The present ar will are the end ofl many thlnga aa it haa aeen the birth of many thlnaa. and although tha rifle may not disappear before peace la algned, Ita doom aa the principal arm of infantry ia aounded. Where la there any sound argument agalnet the gradual aubetltittlon of tha light machine gun for the rifle? After all. Maxim la merely an Improved automatic rifle with a water Jacket. A man who could fire a kicking gun of the period of ISIS could fre and carry a Maxim with less effort. Are we not told that In tHo old daya the concentrated fire on one aide of en Kngllsh aqua re emptied less then a srnre of Crencli ssd dle at effective ranaa? One modern ma chine gun would .have wiped out the whole squadron. "In modern warfare and particularly In trench warfare, the aoldler who rah fire 100 ahota to hie opponent's five baa ninety-five rhancea of coming out un arathed. Tha German aoldler preftae tha machine gun to the rifle. It enablea him to alt down comfortably and squirt death at the foe aa water la squirted through a hoae, and It glvea- biro that aenae of euperlority and security which the possession of a superior-weapon al waya bringa to the fighting man."
