Although the Germans are fighting

GERMAN LONG RANGE SHELLS
French Guessing as to the Explosive
Charge.

Paris, June 20 Correspondence of
The Associated Press)-That the
bursting-c charge Of shells from the
German long-range guns is mixed
while the prOjectiles are in actual
fight is the belief of French scientists
according to technical journal pub
lished here.
When the shelling of Paris began
it was noticed that the explosion of u
shell produced a cloud of black smoke
mixed with little that was white and
accompanied by strong smell ol
ether. Recently the smoke has been
entirely white and very light, the eth
er odor persisting.
No shell that failed to explode has
been found, nor even an entire fuse
indicating how delicate and reliable
the explosive is. This fact leads ex-
perts to suppose that the shell IL
charged with two liquid explosives
separated by the perforated partition
which Is known to exist in the center
of the projectile.
When the shell is fired at a high
angle the liquid in the upper end
combines with that in the lower cham.
ber, and churned by the violent rota-
ton. produces at the moment Of i'm.
pact, three minutes later, a perfec,
said, the ability of the charge to resist
the enormous shock when fired and
the remarkable uniformity of the ex.

GERMAN PEOPLE DECEIVED.

Amsterdam, June 13 -Correspond.
ence Of the Associated Press)-Thc
Frankfurter Zeitung is not pleased
with Emperor Williams speech on
the occasion of the thirtieth anniver-
sary of his accession. The paper dis
putes his assertion that the great wa,

world conceptions-on one hand the
German conception of right, freedom
honor and morals. and on the Other
the Anglo-Saxon conception.
1T is not a question of two world
conceptions" says the Frankfurter

Dial knew of a recent case where a
man. under the dominating influence
of Blease, was led to abuse the Unit

speeches were the most pleasing mes
sage that could be sent to the German
kaiser, and Mr.. Dial had recently
heard an estimate made of the Blease
speeches in which it was held that
the speeches were worth 25G,OO0
soldiers to the German army"
Mr.. Dial also discussed at length
many constructive measures, such as
the necessity for drainage in this
section of the State. which would be
one Of the first steps necessary for eX-
tensive cattle raising. the use by the
farmers Of the federal land bank, the
development Of q national warehouse

gained by the Germans in the assault
launched just week ago. Possibly
MS advance is the forerunner of an
attack In that direction designed to
force the Germans to return their
reserves eastward. thus weakening
their Hanks in the Aisne salient.
Just where the Germans plan to
make stand is not clear. II seems
evident from the language of tonights
statement from Berlin. however. that
they hope to check the allied forces
an soon as they have fattened out
their line sufficiently to protect their
lianks.
Probably they are seeking to set I'M
gradually curving front from Sois-
sons to Rheims which will rest i'm the
center on some naturally strong DO
sition south to Fismes.
LII such q line can be formed and
