WASHINGTON, Aug. 20—However great the difficulties of Rfissian armies may be, they do not result from inferiority in quality of Russian arms. The weapons used by Soviet soldiers will stand comparison. with those of any first-class military power, Garrett Underhill, well knnow writer on military subjects, indicates in the current issue of the Infantry Journal. Russia has even beaten the United States togthe draw a time or two, in the adoption of new-type weapons. As far back as 1891, the Czar's

fense Minister J. I. Ralston said : Jast night that Canadian forces who N ew : iF all took part in the raid on Dieppe suffered heavy losses. “Casualties were severe. For that we must be prepared, for ‘war is a grim business,” he said in a statement based on reports of Canadian - overseas commanders. “The fighting was severe. ' This anticipated, for no one underoe ates the resourcefulness of the Gerlgans,” he said. He saidthe Canadians were commanded by Maj. John Hamilton

Use Dual-Purpose Gun

There’is also a dual-purpose gun of 76 millimeters caliber, built originally as an anti-aircraft cannon. but modified so that it can be used also against tanks, like the better advertised German 88-millimeter: dual-purpose gun. It has . the steadying muzzle brake which has found favor in the minds of many artillerists. For medium and neavy fire, ‘the’ Russian army has 122 and’ 152-milli-meter howitzers of modern type, in=cluding again the slotted muzzle brake. The 152-millimeter . howitzer is shid to outrange the comparable 150 - millimeter German weapon. The 122-millimeter howitzer has double pneumatic tires:on both the piece and its limber, to make movement possible over muddy Russian roads and plowed fields.

A Mighty “Mine Thrower”

At the outbreak of their part of the war, the Germans had the: drop on the Soviets in numbers and caliber of smoothbore mortars, invaluable infantry-support weapons. 1But the Russians soon caught up. Agreeing with their enemy on the value of heavy mortars, they| adopted a 120-millimeter “mine thrower,” which is now being turned out by a ‘“‘converted” industry that} formerly produced mining machinery. Our own heaviest mortar has a caliber only two-thirds as great——81 millimeters. Anti-tank weapons include a 45millimeter gun, throwing a much heavier projectile than our light,

‘Great Variety of Tanks’

The Russian army has ‘a great variety of tanks, for the Soviet ordnance officers have for years|f been exceedingly active in trying out all promising models, / both home-produced and foreign. The 54-millimeter anti-tank gun and the 76-millimeter rifle are mounted in light and medium tanks, and there is also a heavy tank of 52 tons that carries a 152millimeter gun.
