THAT MYSTERY GUN.
Paris Bonbarded By Gun or Guns
From Distance Of 76 Niles.

The big surprise of the war has
been sprung by the Geramns in the
Commandment Of Paris by a gun OF
guns said to be 76 miles away. A
Paris dispatch Of the Oath says tia;
the monster cannon" has been locat-
ed in the forest of St. Gobian, west
of L.aon and exactly 112 kilometres
{about 76 miles) from the Paris city
hall. The gun has boinbarded Paris
daily since Saturday with ~
inch shells. People took refuge IN
cellar ,he iirst day, but Sunday the
churches Hele filled as 5ual and the
peopic have net since been distracted
from their usual habits.
Ix.a.y-four shells reached Paris
Saturday and 27 Sunday. The TINE
of I.ief.. OF the shells is estimated at
10 minutes at least, the curve ira
versld at 40 miles. and the maximum
height attained at Is miles. Several
persons have been killed and some ma
terial damage has been done, but mil
itary experts say the bombardment
can be of no military value, that it
doubtless is used merely to strike ter
ror into the people--in which it seems
to have failed.
1t is to be hoped that the gun
which shelled Paris will very shortly
be sienced says the Figaro Paris
which gives the following quotation
from a man who is said to be in a
position to know:
"The $50 millimetre gun which bonn
barded Dunkirk two years ago from
distance of 25 miles was located by
our airplanes and soon put out of ac-
ton. The same methods will be adopt
ed with regard to the 240 millimetre
gun which has been bombarding Paris
for the last two days. Since Satur-
day our airplanes have been looking
for it, and the fact that it stopped fir
ing is due, perhaps, to their arrival
It will not be long before the gun is
definitely placed; then it's career will
be oyer.n

LEMONS BRING 0U1
IHE HIDDEN BEAUTY
Make ,this lotion for very little
cost and just sec
4 for yourself.

w nat girl or woman hasn't heard of
lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to bleach the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating, and
should be mixed with orchard white
this way: Strain through fine
cloth the juice of two fresh lemons
into a bottle containing about three
ounces of orchard white, then shake
well and you have whole quarter
pint of skin and complexion lotion at
about the cost one usually pays for a
small jar of ordinary cold cream. Be
sure to strain the lemon Juice so no
pulp gets into the bottle, then this To-
tion will remain pure and fresh for
months. When applied daily to the
face, neck, arms and hands it should
help to bleach, clear, smoother and
beautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.

President Congratulates Haig and
Expresses Confidence.

President Wilson cabled Field Mar
shal Haig Monday, congratulating him
on the British stand against the Ger
man offensive and predicting a final
allied victory. The Presidents mes
sage read:
"May l not express my warm ad-
miration of the splendid steadfast-
ness and valor with which your troops
have withstood the German onset and
the perfect confidence all Americans
feel that you will win secure and
final victory!"
Members of the Allied military mis-
sions said Monday that in the nature
of the fighting on the west front the
Germans must be losing at least 1Oo,
600 men a day. They made this de-
duction from the Germans plan of
ms.ssed attack, the numccr Of troops
they are employing and the strength
of the Allied resistance.
The Allied losses, it was declared,
would be far less than those Of the
Germans because they are fighting on
the defensive.
