^Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
'Die German 42-centimeter mortars, with
which Idege was battered into submis
sion. arc declared not to have been ns
effective as the A nstro-Hungarinn weap
ons of the same calibre—two of which
were used against the Russian troops In
Tarnow In the great May victory In west
Galicia. They have left a few. but unmis
takable signs of their power. In the shape
of demolished houses and big craters in
Tarnow. fired at a range of five to eight
miles. The first shell, landing in the city
at the time It was occupied as a Rus
sian headquarters, caused the Russian
general and his staff to abandon their
comfortable quarters in Tarnow, the
largest city in the radius of many miles,
and decamp to a spot 10 miles to the
rear. Thereafter the Austrians fired only
five shots more from their big mortars
Into the city, for It is. after all. an Aus
trian town and they had no desire to
damage unnecessarily their own property.
Twice Moved Forward
As the advancing Austro-Hungarian
army slowly pushed forward against Tar
now-the spot to which the Russians
clung longest during the big May battle.
In an attempt to save the enormous quan
tity of supplies stored in this vicinity
and to give other parts of their army a
better chance to retreat undisturbed—the
big Ifit^-inch twins were twice moved for
ward to spots from which they could drop
shells into the supply trains and on the
men attempting to save the stores.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press, now visiting the battlfields In
western and middle Galicia on which
the great victory of the allied German
and Austro-Hungarian armies was won.
has not been permitted to see the new
guns, hut he has seen the Sites from
which they were fired and the destruc
tion caused by the shells. At one place
the guns were concealed behind a vil
lage. where the glazier is now replacing
window panes destroyed by the concus
sion of the discharge. At another place
the guns were emplaced near a railroad
station—this spot having been chosen for
convenience In erecting the guns in their
foundation of cement and in the thir\
site they were located in a valley.
Damage in Tarnow
In Tarnow one shot struck, appar
ently by error, a peasant’s house of
brick, ft is now a mere mass of bricks,
curiously level with the ground, hous.
and all having apparently been swal
lowed up in the crater made by the
bursting shell. Three persons were
killed In this house. A block away is
one of the city schools, which the Aus
trians believed, rightly, was being used
as quarters for Russian soldiers. A
gaping cliff 30 fpf»t wide and extending
from cellar to roof of the four-story
building shows with what precision the
gunners found their mark. A second
school building a half mile away was
hit squarely on the roof. The wf.ll
on the side toward the courtyard is
torn out bodily. Qn the other side
facing the street a hole 20 feet in diam

brick and concrete wall, the aperture
being as nicely rounded as if the circle
had been laid out writh a pair of com

with such accuracy and force that it
has left its Imprint, again as a care

fence of grated iron before the school

woodwork projects in tangled masses.

The general view in official quarters is

ment of the purpose of the United States

such action would not necessarily lead
to a rupture in relations is generally rec
ognized. unless an overt act or flagrant
violation of the principles for which the
United States has been contending should
ensue.
Officials point out that while the Ger
man reply does not give any explicit as
surances on the subject the actual prac
tice of German submarine commanders
in the last two months has been to visit
n* utral ships and to give warning to
belligerent merchantmen, thus enabling
crews to be transferred to boats in case
of deseruction of a vessel as a prize is
determined upon. Consul General Wash
ington at Liverpool today reported such
an instance. The American ship Nor
mandy was approached by a German sub-1
marine, whose commander examined the1
ship's papers and allowed her to proceed,
notwithstanding that the vessel carried
a cargo of lumber which is on the Ger
man contraband list. The Normandy's
, crew later rescued three Americans who
were aboard the Russian ship Leo, which
was sunk. Officials here could not de
termine from the meagre advices whether
the Americans had been aboard the Leo
when she was attacked and took to their
small boats, or whether they were first
removed to the Normandy before the bel
ligerent ship was destroyed.
In any event, this and other instances
in the last two weeks a^e regarded here
as evidence of the fact (hat the German
submarine commanders probably have in
structions to torpedo no ships without
warning and to save passengers and the
crews before destroying the vessels.' The
view in official quarters, therefore, is that

hot, F. E. Fowle and E. B. Aldrich of

in the June number of the Proceedings of |
the National Academy of Sciences.
They have found that the amount of,
heat is 1.93 calories per square centime

heat is received from the sun on each
square yard to heat a pound of water to
the boiling in two and one-half minutes.
The heat which is received at the earth’s
surface is somewhat less than this, name
ly by the variable amount that is ab
sorbed by the earth’s atmosphere. The
remarkable discovery has also been made
that the heat received from the sun is
not constant, but variable from month to

to be respected, but also the humane
laws.
"Germany's attitude excites the antip

WOMAN IS ACCIDENTALLY
KILLED BY GUARD DEAN AT
KETONA CONVICT CAMP
Dorothy Halley, aged 21 years, was ac
cidentally shot and Instantly ktlled yes
terday afternoon at 5:45 o'clock by W. T.
Dean, a convict guard at the Ketona
camp, one mile north of Five Mile creek.
The killing appeared to be shrouded
with mystery until midnight. Although
the woman, who was a convict at the
camp, was killed at 5:45 o'clock yester
day afternoon, none of the officials of
the county was notified of her death.
At 10 o'clock W. B. Pattie, superintend
ent of the convict camps, notified Johns
Undertaking company to go to the camp
at Ketona and get the body of a woman
| who had been killed. Accordingly the
I ambulance was sent to the scene of the
killing and received the body, which was
brought to town to be prepared for
burial. The driver of the ambulance was
not Informed a to the name of the
woman, but was told that she had been
killed accidentally.
Neither the sheriffs office nor the coro
ner appeared to know anything In re
gard to the death of the woman. Mr.
Pattie was called and asked if he knew
anything of the killing.
“A woman was accidentally killed at
Ketona this afternoon at 5:45 o'clock by
a convict guard named W . T. Dean,” said
Pattie. "It was wholly accidental. It
seems that Dean was cleaning his re
volver just outside of the house and in
doing so forgot that there was a shell
left in It. The gun went off and struck
Dorothy Bailey, who was sitting on a
bench in company with several other
women convicts, about 15 feet from the
place where Dean was cleaning his gun.
The bullet took effect In the neck of
the woman and went upward, coming out
at the point of the Jaw. Immediately
after the shooting Coroner Spain was
notified and gave instructions to get the
justice of the peace in that precinct and
leave it to him to hold an investigation.'
“Justice of the Peace Thompson went
to the scene of the killing and after look
lng at the woman decided to summon a
jury to investigate the affair and six men
living in the vicinity of the camp were
impaneled as a jury and decided that
the woman had come to her death by
an accident.”
When Coroner Spain was called up the
second time about the death of the
woman, he said:
“I was not informed that a white wom
an had been killed at the convict camp
at Ketona. Someone, who 1 do not know,
did call me up and say that a negro
woman had been killed. I told them to
see the Justice of the peace and leave
the whole matter to him. I would have
gone to the scene of the killing, had it
not been for the fact that T am to go
to Montgomery this morning. Had I
been told that a white woman had been
killed I might have gone to the scene of
the killing.” I
When Dr. Dovelady, president of the
board of revenue, was interviewed by a
reporter of The Age-Herald, he said:
“The board of revenue, as far as 1
know, has not been officially notified of
the death of a woman convict. Dean,
the man whose gun went off and killed
Dorothy Bailey, called the hoard of reve
nue office and I answered the phone.
Dean asked for some of the board of
revenue members, and called them by
name. I told him that they were not In
and said my name was Lovelady. Then
Dean told me that a woman bad r>een
shot at the Ketona convict camp. I asked
If she was dead. He answered that he
did not know. I then asked whether or
not a physician had been summoned. Dean
said that he had called a doctor. I will
say that 'f intend to call the board of
revenue's attention to the fact that a
woman convict was killed at the camp
last night, and shall ask for an official
investigation.”
According to the records of the convict
camp, Dorothy Bailey was sent on the
roads for vagrancy and was sentenced tn
serve six months for the eounty. She had
been at the camp for about two months.
No information could be obtained as to
who her parents were, nor wfhere they
could be located. The remains of the
deceased will be held by Johns pend
ing funeral arrangements.
GERMAN COMMENT ON
AMERICAN SITUATION
! -
Bei lin, July 13.—(Via London. July i
14, 3:15 a. m.)—Conflicting reports of
the reception of Germany's note to the
United States concerning submarine
warfare still keep most of the after
noon newspapers from commenting cn
it. The Kreuz Zeitung. the Tages Zei
tung and the Boersen Zeitung express
belief that British and French news
agencies have selected unfavorable edi
torial expressions from American news
papers for the effect they will have in
Great Britain and Fiance.
The Kreuz Zeitung ^ays: “Regarding
the reception of the German note in
America several additional reports from
British sources are now' at hand. Reu
ter’s presents about a dozen short sen
tences from as many American papers.
Were these really approximately a
• faithful picture of the thought of the
: American press 'as a unit, we should
I have to discard every hope of a possi
bility of an understanding. The con
ception of a great majority of the Gei
man people is that we showed In our
tone an earnest desire to meet as far
as possible justified American inter
ests.”
The Boersen Zeitung reproduces the
editorials quoted by Reuter, but draws
consolation from the admission of the
London Times that there is little indi
cation that a crisis exists and that there
is no talk of war. The newspaper re
views again the alleged advantages Ly
the note, which it thinks will be ac
cepted, even if the proposals have to be
altered slightly.
”lt is not surprising.” says the Hot r
sen Zeitung. “that London and Paris,
which had great hopes of Washington
entering the conflict, are not satisfied
with the answer and disappointed that
Germany refused to comply with the
American demands. We cannot believe
that the clear propositions of our gov
ernment have failed to make an impres
sion. Therefore, we await calmly th*
American answer. We will not allow
Reuter to lead us astray or believe by
tbs press quotations that a storm ol
indignation at German barbarism ia
sweeping through America.”
The Boersen Zeitung adds that the
newspapers quoted are all known to be
intensely anti-German.
The Tages Zeitung declares that
American politicians must appreciate
that the German propositions are prac
tical and that Germany on her own in
itiative made ordinary local conces
sions. It doubts whether the United
States wrill throw them away at the
cost of her own neutrality In favor of
what is termed a legally, poltically ar.d
economically untenable position. The
belief is Expressed that the American
statesmen will appreciate "the anxiety
hovering behind the British press, mil*
lsters and legislators and that the pro
test against submarine warfare is no4
really a question of humanity, hut
merely a plan to disarm Germany of a
weapon which is rapidly making the
invulnerability of Groat Britain a
legend.”
