LONG AND SHORT
 RANGE GUNS ARE DEMANDS OF WAR.

punIirk. Aug. s12-The trench war fare in France has made two distinct and apparently contradictory demands upon. n1anufacturers of artillery one for weapoons of extraordinary range, and the other for guns which will drop a shell at a shorter range than ever heretofore used
 The German gunmakers. who are developing Iong-range guns capable of carrying a projectile from Calais to Dover, are at the same time showing g rermarkab1e ingenuity in making little mortars which will toss nissels @con- ta,ining high explosives about as far asia fair football player can kick a goal.
 The f'nninnenwerfer" was the first of tne Ashort-range weapons to meet the British troops in France, and it was r6gaTded as very excellent weapon of it's class. But the newer German inventions of similar charac- ter are a hundred times. more effect i've In deadHness and power
 The so-calIed tsRuIn-jar'' is perhaps the most feared of the new German trenuch, nortars. It is so named by the British soldiers from the reseTn- blance of it's missile to the gallon stone jars in which the army rations of rum are carried The projectile is Slightly. more than twice the size of the army ru1n-jar, however It is gen. erally first sighted when approaching the top of it's flight. In descent fl turns over and over, it's size and s1owness of flight enabling the soldier to follow it easily even from some dis tance. It is exploded either by a time or delayed percussion fuse, and is con- structed of thin steel case filled with tri-zItrd-to toiuol. The damage it causes is due entirely to it's detonating quality 1t does not relyN on metal or bullets for its effect The expscsron seems to be more instantaneous than that of any other projeEtile, and there is therefore a concentrated fury to the noise of it's bursting that distinguishes it from all other projectfles.
 The sSausage'' is another variety oi missile fired probably from compress ed air guns, inasmuch as the discharge makes so little. noise as to be practi- caIly inaudible.
 The Percy is hve-inch shell which exp1odes in the air with an ex- traordinary s'crack,'' while the less dreaded .sPip-squeaks'' are missles oi similar kind but much smaller size The so-called ssWhizz- bang is a bomt exploded by means of a time fuse. but thrown by hand.

AMERICAN DOLLAR IS AT
SUBSTANTIAL PREMIUM

says that more and more each month
the country is adjusting itself TO the
unnatural conditions forced upon it
by the war I'm Europe. Business con-
ditions in general continue satisfac-
tory and trade balances are increasing
Wonderfully March exports were
over S299.OOO.OOO. the highest point
ever reached in the history Of the
country. while the excess Of exports
over imports for the month was 141
millions. A foreign resident who can
place $1,000 20 his credit in New York

I'm Berlin. S1,126.3S. These figures
show that the American dollar is at a
substantial premium in practically all
the international exchanges. and
bears out the fact that the financial
