PAR-IS, March 24. The com
ments of the French press this
morning were about evenly divid
ed between the big gun which is
bombarding the city from back of
the German lines and the- terrific
battle raging on the British front,
i The tone of ttoe comment on the
bombardment is one of astonish
ment at the feasibility of the per
formance, while as to the battle,
the favorable ending of it is con
I fidently expected.
! The newspapers do not conceal
their' admiration for the mechani
, cal feat of the Germans in con
structing their new weapon, but
! speak passionately of the useless
i barbarity of the bombardment.
The Matin says it is consoling
' i to note that the number of vie-
stims is small, but it asks for re-
-i i 'i :
I'pnsais on uerman uilius.
Professor Paul Painlevc, form
er premier and president of the
Acadomy of Sciences, told the Ex-
I celsior that by using tungsten in
I the fabrication of the projectiles,
I the tungsten shells would be of
( about half the diameter of steel
I shells of an even weight and that
I therefore the atmospheric resist-
j ancc would be less, this accomit-
! ing for the extremely long range.
1 He also touched upon the possi-
1 bility of a propellor attached to
j the projectile.
Alfred Capus in the Figaro, al
ludes to the making'of the gun as
a great mechanical feat, but points
out that as a military factor the
weapon is entirely inefficacious.
The Petit Parisien comments up
on the bombardment as an ex
tremely minor incident as com-
I pared with the gigantic battle in
progress on the British front.
Lie Petit Journal saj's Jules
"Verne had foreseen this gun and
it declares moreover that it is a
French invention. "More than a
year ago," it adds, "we discov
ered the secret of firing our can
non more than 100 kilometers.
The secret lies in the greater sup
pression of the atmospheric re
sistance." The Echo de Paris declares the
bombardment is designed to give
j the impression that Paris is with
in the range of the German guns.
i "It is a political cannon' the
newspaper says.
Premier Clemenceau's newspa
per, L 'Homme Libre, says the
password of the soldier is confi
dence. "Germany," it declares,
i "'has wished to make it a com-
plete offensive on all fronts the
land, water and air fronts, as well
as the 'front of the rear.' We arc
facing an enemy who wishes to end
1 it as soon as possible. That suits
us. Every shell that falls into
', Paris drives deeper into us the
' confidence in an ultimate vic
! tory."

morning. The alarm was sounded
immediately.
.Many people took shelter, but
larger numbers appeared in the
streets on the way to the churches
which were almost as crowded as
usual, the women who sell palm
leaves doing their customary
thriving business.
The shells arrived at regular in
tervals of twentj' minutes at first.
The detonations seemed louder,
amid the ordinal Sunday calm,
than yesterday, but they seemed to
have lost their power to disturb
the population which refused to
be distracted from their Sunday
habits to any extent.
Because of the absence of
means of transportation a great
man' persons were seen on the
streets leading to the center of the

The rapidity of the fire increas

AMSTERDAM, March 24.
The Berliu Tageblatt says that
when Field Marshal von Hinden
burg received the first telegrams
reporting on the offensive, he re
marked to Emperor William:
".Well, your majesty, I think we
may be well pleased with the in
itial success.' 3
The newspaper adds that the
date for the offensive was fixed
long ago and began at exactly the
time and eVen to the hour.

Safeguarding Paris.
PARIS, March 24. The govern
ment has decided that the bom
bardment of Paris by long dis
tance guns shall not interrupt the
normal life of the capital, but that
the population shall be warned of
the bombardment by distinctive
means, differing from the usual
warning for an air raid.
Drums will be beaten and the
police will sound whistles. The
public service, the subway trains,
the tramways and the automobile
busses will continue to he ope rat-'
ed normally.

LONDON, March 24. Router's
correspondent at British head
quarters reported that among tho
British captured machine guns are
some that were identified as hav
ing been used in the Balkans last
year.
Tho Germans made attempts
Friday night to cross the Somme
by means of four bridges. The
attempts, however, were detected
and frustrated with loss by the
British artillery fire, this message
states. '
All the roads in the rear of the
German advance, the dispatch
continues, are blocked by columns
of troops, guns and transport ve
hicles furnishing targets upon
which the British artillery is
making deadly play. Rough esti
mates of the casualties inflicted
vary between thirty and fifty per
cent of all the enemy divisions
identified.
"I give these figures for what
they are worth," the correspon
dent adds. "They are probably
based mainly upon statements
made by prisoners."
BERLIN, March 24. British
Admiralty Per Wireless Press.
Victory in the battle which has
been raging near Monchy, Cam
brai, St. Quentin and La Fere is
claimed for the German army in
today's headquarters' statement.
The British Third and Fourth
armies and parts of Franco-American
reserves which had been
brought up are declared to have
been beaten and to have been re
pulsed with the heaviest losses on
the line from Bapaume to Bouch
evesnes and behind the Somme
between Peronne and Ham as well
as at Chauny.
Washington Not Informed.
WASHINGTON, March 24.
Nothing has beon received here to
indicate that American regiments
were brought into the fighting, as
referred to in the Berlin dis
patches. If any American troops
participated, officials thought it
would be found they probably
were American engineers, caught
in some surrounding movement as
they were at Cambrai.
The dispatch from Paris con
stituted the only official informa
tion which had come to the capi
tal until this afternoon, aside from
The Associated Press dispatches.
President Wilson and all offi
cials and diplomats were eager for
.every word.
The apparent slackening of the
German drive was taken as sup
port for the calm confidence that

ing the bombardment was over.
German Paper Comment.'
BERLIN, March 24. Berlin's
Yossische Tageblatt Zeitung tel
egraphing from the neighborhood
of the Sammo is quoted by tho
Central News correspondent at
Amsterdam as saying:
"All our movements havo taken
place with marvelous exactitude,
according to the plans of the mas
ter who organized the attack. The
English are defending themselves
bravely but the British command
was not equal to the attack which,
although doubtless they foresaw,
probably was not expected so ear
ly." PARIS, March 24. A semi-official
note issued today warns the
public against pessimistic reports
that tho Germans have broken
through the front and thus are
able to bombard Paris from close
by.
"The French front is intact;
auy assertion to the contrary is a
lie," the note reads.
Shells Stop Falling.
PARIS, March 24.-3:05 p. m.
Today's bombardment seems to
be over as this dispatch is sent.
No shell explosions have been
heard for more than an hour from
The Associated Press office.
On Italian Front.
ROME, March 24. "There have
been slight artillery actions and
activity by our reconnoitering par
ties along the whole front," says
today's war office report. "A
French patrol captured a few
prisoners at Monte Tomba."
Cost $4,000 to Fire Gun.
PARIS, March 24. The news
paper Lc Journal, in its article re
garding the gun, says the piece,
of 240 millimeters caliber, is of
Austrian nanufacture. It is a
very delicate piece of machinery
which must be handled by expert
mathematicians and gunners, the
newspaper adds, as tho loading
and pointing is a difficutl task.
It declares each shot costs about
$4,000.
"This is a new conception of
our enemiesj" the newspaper com
ments. The ordnance experts were not
ready last night to commit them
selves as to whether the shell was
a sort of aerial torpedo driven by
propcllors; whether an inner pro
jectile contained in tho original
shell is released by an explosion
after the shell has traveled a cer
tain distance from the gun, or
whether the original projectile it
self reaches its destination pro
pelled perhaps by an explosive of
a force hitherto unknown.
In yesterday's bombardment
twenty-four shots in all were fired
from 7 :20 a. m. to 3 o 'clock p. m.,
a shell dropping every twenty
minutes with monotonous regular
ity. The bombardment presented
all the characteristics of a bom
bardment by heavy artillery, there
being regular intervals between
the shots and the shells falling
within a restricted area. Enemy
aviators flying high over the city
during the early hours of the bom
bardment regulated, the firing.
Americans in the Fight.
LONDON, March 24. The num
ber of prisoners captured by the
Germans now numbers over 30,
000 and the number of guns 600,
the German official statement says
today.
French, English and American
regiments which were brought up
from the southwest for a counter
attack, were thrown back on Chau
any, the official statement adds.
Ham and Peronne have fallen,
the German official, statement
says, which was received here by
wireless.
The .town toward which the !
German official statement men
tions French, English and Ameri
can regiments as being thrown
back is probably Chauny, on the
Oise river seven miles southwest
of La Fere and, about five miles
back of the previously established
line. Saturday's German official
statement reported the forcing of
a crossing of the Oise west of La
Fere, where the British and the
French lines are believed to have
joined and the recession of the
British right wing here would ne
cessarily have taken the French
left wing along with it. American
troops are known to havo been on
the Chemin des Dames line just to
the east of this front.

WARREVIEW
No Evidence of An Envelop
ing Movement on the
West Front.
WASHINGTON, March 25 The.Ger
man offensive, says tho war depart
ment's weekly communique issued yes
terday, proves that tho Gormnn mili
tarists, no longer able to control the
Gorman people by political maneuver,
havo been forced to attempt a gigantic
feat of arms to maintain their domina
tion. While the great attack has been
ablo to make headway, no definite en
veloping movement has been outlined,
tho communique says, and It would be
premature to express opinions on the
tactical phases with a combat situation
inevitably changing in a batter of such
magnitude.
"The assault launched by the Ger
mans against the British front has re
oponcd tho fighting season in the
west," says tho communique.
"This operation confirms to us that
the German higher command, unable
to control tho strategic situation
through political agencies as has been
unceasingly attompted during the past
four months, has been forced to en
gage in a desperate military venture in
an effort to rettaln its domination ovor
the people of the central empires and,
if possiblo, force a victorious peaco by
the fortune of arms.
"Tho German attack began with a
brief but overwhelming artillery bom
bardment with high explosives and gas
shells at dawn on March 21, in the roll
ing country north of tho Oise, 94
miles northeast of Paris.
"From Croissilles, south of Vcnduell,
a dlstanco of 47 miles, tho Germans
concentrated this preliminary barrage
in which a number of Austrian bat
teries participated.
"At tho same time hostile artillery
was active in the Ypres-La Bassee re
gion. "Tho German infantry divisions
thereupon advanced to the attack
along the flanks of the salient in front
of Cambrai. Furious fighting contin
ues on the northern flank between
Croiselles, Bullecourt and Lagnicourt;
on the southern, along tho lino Gou-zeacourt-Hargicourt-BeverguIer
and ex
tending across tho Crozat canal to be
yond LaFore.
"The British forces are heavily en
gaged. While tho Germans have been
able to make headway, no definite en
veloping movement is as yet outlined.
"It would be premature to express
an opinion regarding the tactical
phases of the operations now taking
place. We must expect further changes
in the combat situation, which are in
evitable in a battle of such magni
tude. "Enemy casualties have been ex
ceedingly heavy.
"Our own forces In training In Lor
raine are still holding onto the
trenches northeast of Badenviller
which were captured last week. In
this region our artillery is continuing
to batter the German lines and a num
ber of scouting parties, which havo
penetrated the German positions re
port that enemy wn'Vc t-v0 hron
siderably damaged. In our sector
north of Toul our artillery has success
fully bombarded enemy works and bil
lets behind their lines.
"Simultaneous with the Gorman of
fensive operations in the west, we note
further hostile activity in Italy which
may be the prelude of an offensive in
this theater.
"Peace between Russia and the cen
tral powers has been ratified at Mos
cow. However, the enemy is contin
uing to advance in Russia. Petrograd
has been evacuated. The Russian gen
eral staff has moved from Smolensk
to Moscow. While the Germans have
made no serious attempt to advance
in Esthonla and Livonia boyond the
line held previously, it is reported that
thov are now again on the march."
The review outlines briefly theprin
clpal events of the week on other
fronts.
