BIG CREW REQUIRED

- URICH, Switzerland, Nov. 21.-The
4, Zurich Post contains the follow
- ing remarkable description OF the
German AZ centimeter gun:
1t is composed OF three parts, which
are transported on special carrying
trucks as distinct from the carriage
on which the howitzer is mounted for
firing.
The gun proper is nearly 81 meters

When it arrives at the railway point
nearest the emplacement where it is to
be put into action. the pieces are ia

being so terrific that the axles groan
under it.
Requires Large Crew.
The monster requires for its reas-
sembling and firing a company of SER
wants which, when marching on the
road in front and behind the gun oc-
cupy a kilometer of road space.
The firing Of the charge in the gun
is done by electricity, the firing stud
being placed 400 meters from the wea-
pon. Anyone who unhappily found him
self near the howitzer at the moment
of discharge would lose his hearing
for a long time.
A, 900 meters (about q miles) exactly
one-third more than the distance be-
tween Calais and Dover, which is SO

Former Homes of Germans

London, Eng, Nov. 21.-By a strange
stroke of fortune, says the Pail Man
Gazette, a large number of the Belgian
are finding accommodation in a dis
trict which, before the outbreak OF
hostilities, formed one Of the CHIEF
German colonies in the metropolis
Forest Hill and Sydenham.
Many of the visitors are well-to-do
and are renting good-sized houses in
the neighborhood, while those less
fortunately endowed, are being quar-
tered upon sympathizers. Although the
German male residents have gone PACK
TO Germany, there are still a number
OF their wOmenfolk around Forest Hill.

RIOTOUS CONDUCT AT MACON.
Mercer Students Turned Into Rioters
by SiX-Inch Snow.

Macon, Ga, Feb. 25.-The heav-
lest snow Macon has known in years
was attended to-day by scenes that
were disgraceful. Three hundred
Mercer University students lined up
on Cherry street and attacked men
and women with snowballs whenever
they were brave enough to stick their
heads out of doors.
Several women who did not take
kindly to the sport were thrown down
and their faces rubbed in the snow,
while the police looked on and offer
ed no resistance, Mayor Smith having
told the boys earlier in the day to go
as far as they liked, though, of
course, he had no idea they would
resort to such rough tactics.
Street cars, automobiles and drays
were attacked, car windows and auto
mobile windshiclds being broken in
numerous instances.
Ten fist fights occurred on Cherry
street, right in the heart OF the bust
ness district in the course of an hour,
and one man held the crowd Of 800
students at bay with a rifle, threaten
ing to shoot if a single SNOWFALL was
thrown at him. Not a shot was fired,
nor a SNOWFALL thrown.
The snowballers completely de-
moraliZed business during the day,
many of those who might have ven
tured out on the street being afraid
to do so.
Among the chief complainants are
coal dealers and draymen. Several
negro drivers were driven from their
wagons. and in several cases they
suffered injuries from iced snowballs.
Three were taken to the hospital to
have their faces Scwed up.
For the first time in the history Of
Macon, as far as any one can remem-
ber, the local street car company was
compelled to use snow plowS to keep
their tracks open for traffic.
