LONDON, March 23-An off cial statement of the aerial oper- ations issued tonight ayss:
 "A thick morning mist on Friday prevented our airplanes from leav- ing the ground during the early part of the day. When the mist cleared there was much activity in the air on one battle front. The enemy's low-flying machines were particularly accurate engaging our forward groups with machine gun.
 The enemy's massed troops again offered good targets for our low-flying airplanes. The location and range of bodies of hostile troops and transports were report ed to our artillery and successfully engaged.
 Flight and a half tons of bombs were dropped on hostile railway stations in the rear of the battle front and also on the enemy's bil- lets, high velocity guns, troops and transport The fighting in the air was very heavy, almost all the combats taking place between Ar ras and St. Quentin. Twenty-sev- en enemy machines were brought down and twenty were driven down out of control. Two hostile machines were shot down in our lines by anti-aircraft guns and an-

DISCREDIT IDEA OF GUN SHELLS REACHING PARIS.
American Ordnance sOfficei,s Intimate Enemy Airplanes Carrying Howitzers Fire Bombs Upon Parisians.
fRv RevieM I.easea vrIrel

WASHINGTON, March 23-The long range bombardment of Paris by a Ger man gun presumably 62 miles away. announced as a fact today in the French capital dumbfounded Ameri- can ordinance officers. The p mile bombardment of Dunkirk by the Ger mans more than a year ago had set a record and ordnance officers of the American, British and French corps freely conceded they never had dream ed of monster gun with a range of more than thirty miles.
 Some officers frankly questioned that shells from rifled cannon actually had fallen in Paris. Others sought ex- planation in new devices or secret gun emplacements il the vicinity Of Parts None wanted to believe that any gun had been invented by the Germans or anyone else that could throw a 91-2 inch projectile sixty miles If the Ger man experts have evolved a wholly new type of gun not dependent upcn the same mathematical factors that govern ordnance everywhere. officers here think it highly unlikely that they would employ it for an isolated and meaningless attack on Paris
 It might be, some officers thought, that a continuous dropping of fedium calibre shells on the city was part of hope for breaking the spirit of France by some mysterious visitation.
 The finding of shell fragments bear ing the marks of gunfiring seemed to preclude the idea of any ordinary air plane bombs. It was suggested that monster airplanes mounting guns might have been used but no one has ever conceived the possibility of car rying a g 1-2' inch weapon in the air. A short range. lightweight, inverted howitzer carried by aircraft Happear- ed to some as a possible explanation.
 Some officers conceived the possi- bility that in the outskirts of Paris there might be hidden gun. It was admitted that it would have no mili- tary value and could only be a weapon of terror and its discovery would be certain A bOmbardment of Paris at at distance of 62 miles appeared to most of the ordnance officers as such a complete surprise that they found it difficult to talk about it.

 The German claim that the forces of the central empires are fighting on g line northeast cf BaDaume Peronne and Ham has. not been substantiated by British official dispatches but the British reports show that there has been a retirement at various points. especially at St. Quentin, where Field Marshal Haig says his forces have taken up their new positions and are heavily engaged with the enemy.
 Claim Many Prisoners.
 According to a Berlin disnatch "a considerable part of the British arms has been beaten" but this is not borna out by any facts SO far known. That 25.OO0 men have possibly been caD- tured by the Teutcns may be consid- cred as a natural result of the slow withdraw wal on various parts of the line This number. however. is very small in comDsrisOn tO the forces Haig has thrown into the fray

 It is reported that some of the enc my infantry pushed down across the Somme canal and drove forward against prepared positions to which the British had retired.
 German cavalry were seen. behind the advancing German infantry and there was small doubt that the attack ing forces intended to make a supreme effort to rupture the British line ill this sector which is near the junction of the French and British lines Ths British strategical withdrawal along the battle front to better positions has been carried out deliberately and in accordance with plans, thereby saving the lives of British troops while the attacking forces have been advancing under increasing difficulties with huge cost of life. g
 About Mory the battle has been es- pecially fierce, and when the story of the British defense can. be told it will be a record of a magnificent stand The fighting here began yesterday morning when the Germans attacked with superior number of troops The British held on during the day but iasr evening the enemy gained a foothold in the village after a sanguinary strug- gle at close quarters.
 The Germans advanced for this new attack from CrOisehes and for hours were held off by company of British machine gunners who were stationed on high ground and swept the enemy ranks with a grilling fire.
 The British organized a counter at tack as soon as the Germans entered the village and pushed the enemy back
 Bitter fighting continued throughout the night and it is not less bitter today with fluctuating fortunes.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The 1 war department cabled General Persh- ing tonight to forward immediately definite information of the exact situation on the battle front where man onslaught.
 The only official word at hand was contained in the official statement is sued from London and Berlin. . American army officers would hazard no pinions, lacking no definite and compreh snsive advices. Privately however, their confidence in the even tual repulse of the German thrust un- shaken in the face of all reports re- ceiN ed.
 Are Confident.
 Both American officers ana those attached to the British and French military missions looked with con- foen,se On the story unfolded from hour to hour as the German effort progressed. A review of the days events as told in Associated Press dis patches they said, gave no ground for assuming that the allies resisting power would prove unequal to its task.
 All reports were taken to prove that the Germans had staked lives by the hundred thousand upon a quick blow. designed to be oyeIpowering both be- csuse of the masses Of men used and also becaus4 of the absolute disregard Of losses which marked its delivery.
 There was evidence that seemed to bear out predictions that Germany was pT3Dared to sacrifice 100000 men in the effort. Ii was with man power n great masses and not gun power that the fifst lines of the British de- lenses were penetrated.
 The greatest shock ever hurled at an arTy apDeered to observers here to have been met by the British with great skill.

 Look for Reaction.
 Militery experts say such an effort as the Germans are making cannot be continued leng. Every spot gained means added difficulties of transport ation and the consequent slowing down of the forward movement. A day Or two more of bitter resistance. even including further British retire ment, it was thought, would see the imDetus of the German thrust lost, and its power diminished. Then would come opportunities for counter attacks on a major scael.
 In seeking the strategic purpose of the German drive, officials here not ed that the British press had already suggested a possible solution. A rup tuIe of the British lines in the vicin- ity of St Quentin, it has been said. might leave the French left on the Aisne front unsupported. Retirement

DAYLIGHT AIR RAID.

PARIS, March 23.-The first day light air raid on Paris came today. which was one of perfect sunshine. The people of Paris refused to i'm mure themselves in cellars and other substerranean shelters. and. although the subway stations were crowded. the streets always had a great number of people in them watching for an aer- ial battle or some ether stirring incl- denct.
 Shells Bear RifIing.
 As the day passed and the "All Clear" signal was not given. the feel ing grew that something new in the way of a raid was expected, and this was not explained until an official statement was issued saying that the delay was due to the bombardment by long distance cannon.
 The "aIl clear was then sounded and the normal life was resumed. The cable office reopened to take up ae- cumulated piles of dispatches.
 Pieces of the shells. on examination were found to bear rifling markings which proved that they had not been dropped, but had been fired from a gun. This apparently left a greater mystery than ever as to where the gun in question was located. the na- ture of. it and by what method it was being operated.
 Another thing which turned the thoughts of the officials at the muni- cipal laboratory to the possibility thar a cannon was being used was the reg ularity with which the bombs feli, enc every twenty minutes.
 Parisians Seek Shelter.
 After the aerial battle most of thos- who had taken refuge in cellars, hear ing no sound after half an hours stay, came out and remained in the streets about their docrs, wondering at the prolongation of the raid which gener- ally do not exceed three hours.
 School children were marched to shelters which had previously been allotted them. Many restaurants were closed. Large stores which had just finished arranging their windows loy cred their shutters and sent them em- ployes into the cellars.
 Paris ware an aspect recalling the early days of the war in 1914. Tele- phone girls remained at their posts. very fel taking advantage Of the ad. ministrations permission 10 seek rSI- u2e if they wished Tramways and auto busses stopped on the streets and the conductors and ticket cOllec- tors sought the nearest shelter The subway trains ceased running and the tubes were used by pedesteriaas to reach home on foot
 The police were placed at each sto. ton to prevent a repetition of the r-- cent panic and prevented people from assembling around the entrances. Nine hours thus passed and then Pars learned that it was not being raicea. but bombarded.
