AUSTRIANS USING
BIG NEW HOWITZERS
Fire Six.Foot Projectiles Every
Two Minutes, Making 5O-toot
Holes in the Earth.

Tarnow, Galicia, May IA giant
howitzer of a new type played an I'M
portant part in assisting the Austrians
to smash the powerfully fortified Rus
sian position at Tarnow. The howitzer
is of the same calibre as the 42-cenu-
metre guns, and its work certainly Is
not less terribly effective.
When the Austrians occupied the
Russian positions they found men dead
without wounds rather far from the
places where the projectiles OF the
howitzer exploded. The air pressure
from these projectiies swept the Rus
sian wire entanglements of castings a
mile away.
The correspondent, who visited the
former Russian position, SAID the
ground everywhere was denied with
funnel shaped depressions, 90 feet IN
diameter and 20 feet deep.
The projectile of the new howitzer
is three times the weight Of the 800
centimetre mortar, and is nearly six
feet long. Once the howitzer is ready
il can be fred every two minutes. The
foundation for the gun IS built six
feet deep. The gun carriage rests on
large ball bearings.

BROKER DIES FROM BLOW
David Hermann, of Cotton
Exchange, Found in Street.

David Hermann, seventy-four years
old and a member of the Cotton Ex-
change, died early yesterday morning
in Bellevue Hospital from fractured
skull Rain soaked and unconscious, he
was found Wednesday night at Broad
way and Nineteenth Street. He lay un-
tended while the ambulance surgeon
and the patrolman who found him ar
gued as 10 the station house to which
he should be taken, for Dr.. Lille. Of the
New York Hospital, thought that his
wound could be dressed in a station
house.
Mr.. Hermann was finally taken to
the West Twentieth Street station,
transferred TO the East Twenty-sccond
Street station, and again shifted to
the East Thirty-ffth Street station.
There the lieutenant at sight of him
ordered him to Bellevue.
Mr.. Herrmann's injury is believed to
have been caused by blow. He never
regained consciousness. His brother,
Nathan, well known as a philsnthropist,
left an estate of more 100000.

that many things were missing.

Mrs. BELMONT
WANTS TO LEAD
WOMEN TO WAR
Hopes United States viii
Stop Acting the Coward
and Fight Germany.

Mrs. Oliver II. p. Belmont is eager
to head company Of women 10 hght
the Germans, if President Wilson
note to Germany brings on war. She
hopes II will. Her only criticism OF
the Presidents note - that 1t should
have been sent months ago. The United
States, she declared yesterday, mas
been playing cowardly part.
"Why did it take the sinking OF the
Lusitania 90 make this government
assert itselt?" she asked. THAT IS not
half so terrible as some OF the things
Germany has done. Why is the Killing
Of some American citizens so much
more 10 US than the slaughter OF tnou-
sands Of innocent Belgians? An offence
against humanity is an offence against
humanity, it seems to me, even wneh
foreigners are the victims.
81 can't help thinking that that note
to Germany wouldn't have been written
even now if nobody but some poor
steerage passengers had been lost. Inc
fact that it took the death Of a very
wealthy citizen Of the United States
TO bring a protest IS poor common
tary on cur government. But tne
United States is snobblsn -sn0DDlsH
and commercial
Il don't object TO commercia'Ism'
Mrs. Belmont explained. Most OF US
need it 20 keep food in our mouths
and clothes on our backs. But the gov
eminent should be above it,
The cause Of the Allies, she said, was
the cause of civilization, and the united
States should be eager to help
Blames Anti at the Helm.
"If Germany won, the clock OF the
world would be set back many cen
turtles. Germany has been barbara. II
is graceful that our government mas
held back while the Kaiser has out
ragged every principle Of humanity. l
don't believe in the narrow patriotism
that is willing to sit comfortably at
home while dreadful things are hap
pening elsewhere, content as long as
our own people are safe. That's the
anti-suffrage doctrine look out for
your own home, nothing else matters.
But President Wilson's an anti-sutfra-
gist-I suppose that Is why he kept
Still as long as Germany didn't offend
us"
Miss Florence King, suifragist and
settlement worker, declared holly that
Germany was quite justified IN sinking
the Lusitania and that President VII
sons note had no excuse.
Boils at British Dictation.

they couldn't 20, and we meeKly SUB

"As to what German soldiers. are

did TO their own women, the militant
sutfragists."

and graceful lady as their Queen.
One soldier said: Come along,
madame: make yourself at home,
and another, "Ah, but. madame, this
trench is dangerous" The Queen
,cnIied. "Not for me; I'm so small
One Of the men produced a sack
and placed it on the slope of the
trench. The Queen sat down on
the sack and began TO distribute
the chocolate and cigarettes she
had brought. Presently another
soldler came from another position.
and. recognizing her majesty, said:
ooh. the Queen" All the soldiers
then. of course, rose and stood at
attention. Her majesty, after ex-
pressing kind wishes for their vel
fare. left The trench.
On the sack on which she had
sat were inscribed the words Rest
