All night long the fighting has
been most severe, especially along

Germans in dense masses were
hurled forward in the moonlight
while the British machine guns
raked them in an amending rattle.
Observers close up at the front
s'gnalled back to the artillery and
the half stripped gunners fired
until their pieces we're almost red

The enemy is pressing on al
most without artillery support,
Trusting in their ability to bend

PARIS, March 25.-Mysterious
German shells resumed falling on
Paris early today and ceased at
$3.50 a. m, The people remain
ed in bed and were not disturbed.
The force of the explosion was
not greater than that of many
shells dropped on the city in the
past from airplanes.
The shells were, OF light explo-
sives power and made a very
small hole in the ground. Meas
urements at several different
places showed that the holes aver
aged four feet In diameter and
were not more than two feet deep.
French experts direct attention
to the fact that the shells fall at
a slackened speed with practically
no force.
Several casualties resulted from
yesterdays air raid, it was Off
cially announced today.
A number of enemy airplanes
succeeded in crossing the battle
lines at a high altitude and at
tackled the city. They were pur-
sued Immediately by French air
planes from the front and those
attached to the Paris defenses.
They were driven off after drop
ping several bombs.

NEW YORK, March 25.-Major
General Wood, just returned from
France, emphatically declared his
belief that no mysterious new Ger
man gun is firing on Paris.
II have read all the reports re-
garding the attack on Paris" said
Gen. Wood in an interview with
the New York Herald, land | am
convinced no new gun of marvel
Gus range is involved. In my opin-
ion a great aerial attack is TAX
ing place and it seems very pos
sible that radical development of
airplane guns by the Germans is
involved. / hold this belief despite
the assertion that the position of
great new. gun has been accu-
rately ascertained. / am sure
that within short time 1t will
be established that an airplane
bombardment has resulted In the
misleading report"
''It is my belief and that of my
associates that the missiles fall
ing on Paris are aerial torpedoes

LONDON, March 25.-Is the most stupendous

old dream Of every great continental military power
