siege GUNS OF THE GERMAN ARMY
MOST POWERFUL IN THE WORLD

Berlin, Sept. 21.-(Correspondencel
That the day of fortresses has pass
ed seems already to have been fairly
demonstrated by the present war. The
new 42centimeter Q6.8-1nch) siege
guns OF the German forces appears to
have demonstrated its ability to de
molish the strongest Notifications ever
made. Pictures of the demolition at
Liege bear striking testimony to the
power of this new arm. A single pro-
jectile demolished utterly walls of re-
inforced cement and steel, ripped open
steel towers and piled the mass upon
the forts defenders.
This new siege gun has been the
surprise Of the war. 1t has been re-
peatedly asserted that no nation has

events have proved not only that the
existence of this terrible weapon was
not known to foreign nations, but
that only limited number of high
German army officials themselves had
so much as heard of it. A member of
the Reichstag, whose name is not
given, is quoted in a German paper
as saying regarding it's construction.
Was Done Secretly.
when the trials were finished and
all was ready to begin the construc-
ton Of the new gun the problem pre-
sented itself of making this WONDER
full work of war without attractina
