A POWERFUL SOLDIER
Tho men of the Twelfth Artillery of Franco have good reason to be proud of the physical strength of some of its members. One of the soldiers is so well developed that he can carry a mountain gun on his shoulders. This feat was performed at Camp Aberkano, Morocco, where the French, artillery regiment is now' stationed. Between battles the French soldiers amuse themselves with athletic sports. On these occasions many of the soldiers try to raise the mountain gun on their shoulders, but so far, only one artilleryman has accomplished the feat successfully.
