JOAN OF ARC SPIRIT
ANIMATES WOMEN
French Soldiers Are Urged on
by Wives and Mothers.

Lagny.-'"The women Of France are
doing their half of the fighting in this
war This is my conclusion after talk
ing with mothers and sisters and
daughters whom l saw on my trip
through the battle tramped fairyland."
writes a correspondent.
Nothing else explains the heroic
stand of the French against the walls
of Paris after the cyclonic southwark
sweep of the Germans; nothing else
clears up the mystery of the sudden
defeat of the invaders in the battle
of the Marine. The women had lent
n hand.
Il asked woman whose home was
in the center of battlefield what she
thought Of the war
"'We will win,' she said.

this fighting and killing of one an

what this woman had to say on the
broader. bigger side of the great war.
Its horrible, of course she said
simply. And If he doesn't come back

old, came out and joined her mother

Perhaps we are in for hard time,
And maybe he won't come back. They

KRuPPS MAKING
BIGGEST GUNS YET
Sixty CentimGtar Weapons Be-

FOR USE ON The CHANNEL.

Each Gun Will Weigh Forty five Tons.

The Hague. TO the rumors that the
Krupp works ut Essen are building
tifty-SiX cen!imcter guns has now been
added another the claim that the
same plant is turning out SIXTY cent?
meter pieces. While it Is hard to be
lieve this. it must be borne in mind
that Il siege piece of fortytwo cent?,
meters. the existence of which was
doubted before the war. has become
convincing reality, as has also the
Austrian 800 centimeter piece, which
even after the outbreak of the war
was looked upon as a very interesting
fable
To be sure. Il 3O.5 centimeter about
twelve inchl gun was not in itself
a novelty But that the Austrians
would be able to make such a piece
molIle for field purposes was thought
out Of the question The same process
of reasoning was applied to the Ger
man forty-two centimeter or sixteen
and one-half inch gun y mathemat-
ical relation of cause and effect in this

instance the ability of steel to with
stand the shock of the pr0pcIing ex-
plosive. and the weight which such Il
machine Of destruction would have led
to the conclusion that Il sixteen and
one-half inch gun. while possible. could
not be transported easily enough to
permit its use in the field. Neverthe,
less it was shown that, though the
German forty-two centimeter gun
weighs about twenty-siX tons, trans
portation difficulties had been over
come largely with the aid of motor
traction and other devices
Since the increase IN weight of a
hftySiX centimeter or twenty-five inch
gun over a forty-two centimeter gun
would not be sery great and since the
increase in Il sixty centimeter or TWEEN
ty-three and one-half inch gun over a
twenty-five inch would be an almost
negligible quantity the existence of
such pieces need not be doubted in this
respect. If it is possible to move over
ordinary roads and across soft fields Il
twenty-SiX ton piece it is not unreason-
able to expect that Il gun weighing
thirtytive tons would offer no new
transportation problems
No attention need be paid to popular
rumorS making the rounds that the
new pieces are designed to lombard
the English coast from the coast Of
France The extreme flight Of the six
teen and one-half inch shell has been
given as about twelve kilometerS for the
"krumbahn." or high trajectory pieces,
and sixteen kilometerS for those hav-
ing a flatter course Since the increase
in caliber from sixteen and ii half to
twenty-three and a half does not neces.
sarly mean proportionate Iengthen-
ing of range it is not ut all likely that
the English coast cities opposite Calais
and other channel points will make the
acquaintance Of the "brummerS." rs
the Germans have come to call their
large siege pieces.
The fifty-SiX centimeter and sixty zen
timeter pieces, should they actually eH
list. would find their uses. ana these as
more or less well Informed circles
here assert, would consist OF arming
some naval base on the channel Whlch
the Germans hope to establish during
the course of this war
There is an authentic report that in
this establishment over 10000 men are
busy day and night turning out war
material While Il large percentage Of
this force must be employed in sup
plying current demands of ammunition
for the field pieces and replacing losses
in this arm, it is only reasonable to
assume that this huge force should In
part be employed in the making OF
new and larger "brummers" That
the works are turning out new addi-
tons 10 the fortv-two centimeter equip
ment is known. for only few days
ago six new pieces of this class were
taken T. the vicinity OF Antwerp.
