F.; Adventures of the Gun and Its Crew Are Thrilling. 1 the murderous- fire of a German gun fell around the position of the Gila Monster; a ery slight shift in the elevation of any one of the shells would hae destroyed the gun and her crow. - ' ' V If 4 A Private Howard Larkins of Ka'ys-vill- e has the distinction of being one of the gun crew with the famous Gila g Monster, the gun of its kind for the A. E. F. record-holdin- Through the courtesy of Howards mother we areenabled to print this highly interesting story. Howard is now in Germany on the east side of the Rhine. Manufactured and proved at the French shops at Puteau late in 1917, the Gila Monster was issued to the Third Section of Battery A. 148th Field Artillery, formerly Colorado National Guard, at Liboume, France, early in the spring of 1918. At this time the G. P. F. gun was merely a French experiment, combining the proven qualities of the little French 75, the Long Schneider gun and the French 520. In a few weeks this gun had completed her range tests and was taken into position at Auclain, six miles southeast of Chateau-Thierr- y, (attached to the French army), to take her place in the line of patriots which was to block the Hun in his atrocious drive across Frapce. In this position she battled away; blowing up Boche munition dumps; tearing up highways and lines of communication, and raising all the general disturbance possi ble on the other side of the line; until, on the memorable night of July 14, 1918, when the carefully schedule of the War Lord denoted that it was time for the start of biggest and fiercest barrage of the war; the drive that would smash the whole Allied line, capture Paris, and render the entire world slaves of the Hohen-zoller- n pre-arrang- t-i- Kultur. e But she was busy with twelve groups of Huns who were trying to span the river with pontoon bridges; and when the light artillery, twelve hundred yards awnty destroyed their guns and fell back, she still belched out her two tons of high explosive per hour. On the 510th minute of the drive the Boche were scheduled to occupy our position and the town on Montmirail nearby. The 510th minute came and the Gila Monster fired on. French and American Infantry filed pust hereby the thousands, but she never even slowed her cadence of fire; the barrage of Krupp heavies became a barrage of light field pieces, the of machine guns beout sound to gan through the heavy roar. The Germans had crossed the Marne. ut It was then that Marshal Foch, with both flanks shattered and the center giving way, decided to attack. Orders came for the Heavies to keep the Marne free from pontoons and to cover the further bank of the river with shell. For seventy-tw- o hours the Gila Monster covered her section of the river, taking complete care of sixteen different targets at one time; sending hundreds of Huns and thousands of dollars worth of material to the sandy bottom of the Marne, which was already red with human blood. At any time after the first three hours the barrel of the gun was hot enough to fry eggs or steaks "well done," and on several occasions it had to be filled with water to cool it sufficiently to load without exploding the powder ahead of time. When the smoke drift- ed away, we had 20,000 prisoners and several hundred captured guns; the tide had turned, and the Gila Monster moved across the river to Vaux (then a pile of ashes and stones) entering the west side of the village as the Germans vacated it on the east rft ftftftftftftftftftftftftftftftftftft ftftftiYftftft The first dance, which was held last "Friday night in the High school gymnasium, was a social success and also enriched the coffers of the. school. Young people from all parts of the county were present, w'hich made the t affair so pleasant. The faculty has recently begun a new method of checking up students absences from class. Hereafter 5 per cent will be deducted from the final grade for each days absence. Students may make up thi3 work by doing the work or equivalent amount of time for each class period. Next Friday afternoon,- - March 21, Coach Warners bunch will meet the A. C. Freshmen in the Davis gym. In all probability Bud McDonald will be .in the line-uProspects are good for a fast game.- On the same evening the U. of U. and the A. C. will play in Salt Lake. A large crowd will go down from the local school to witness the tussle. p.
