BRITISH PEOPLE
SHOW ANXIETY

London, March 25.-The British,
people have experienced no other per.
iod OF anxiety comparable with last
week end since the days of the re-
treat from Mons, in August 1914, when
the fate Of the small British army was
undecided. ~"
There was perfect spring weather
today and all the streets and parks
were crowded, but solemnity and grav-
ity prevailed everywhere, which even
stranger must have noticed. Men
and women and even children, were
reading the newspapers, and special
editions which printed the afternoon
official reports were bought as fast
as the newspapers could supply them.
The churches were filled and the day
was one of anxious waiting.
The British people had not expected

Aero Club Refuses to
Accept Reported Range
Of New TeutOa Gun

New York, n. Y, March Is. -Ofsic-
ials of the Aero Club OF America, who
yesterday called a special meeting to
discuss, the nature of the weapon em-
ployed by the Germans in bombarding
Paris at d reported distance Of more
than seventy miles, refused tonight to
believe that long range guns were used
as claimed in the German official com
lmunicatiOn.
They asserted that the creation of a
gun capable Of shooting more than
thirty miles was deemed impossible
and discounted the German claim as
an effort to distract attention from
other means by which the French cap
ital was being shelled. Such means,
they said, might include aerial tor
pedocs guided by wireless.
There We're four ways in which Paris
might be sEelled. according to a state
nlent issued by Alan r. Hawley, pres

Paris, March 20 The German

bombarding Paris has been located in

Loud Explosions
The gun bombardcd Paris during
the greater part Of Sunday. The day
was ushcred in by loud explosions
from. the ten inch shells, and immed
lately the alarm to take: cover was
sounded. This occurred at 6:55
o'clock and many persons sought shell
ter, but greater numbers OF them ap-
pearcd in the streets on their way to
the churches, which were almost as
well filled as usual. The women who
sell palm leaves ON palm Sundays did
their usual thriving business.
At first the shells began arriving at
intervals Of twenty minutes, aud the
detonations, considering the Sunday
calm, seemed louder than those, Of
Saturday. Their power to disturb the
equanimity Of the populace, however,
seemed less. the people refusing to
be distracted from their Sunday habits
to any great extent. = .E:'
| For the benefit of that portion Of the
populace which had been led to be-
lievc the Germans had broken through
the line and were bombarding Paris
from nearby positions, a semi-official
note was issued during the day. This
warned the people against believing
pessimistic reports.

"The French front Is iDtact,o

the contrary Is 9 lie" 49,
The bombardment Of the capital
ended around one o'clock and as late
as three o'clock no explosions had been
heard for more than an hour The
"clear signal" was sounded at $3.50

Although during the earlier hours
OF the Commandment the shells ar.

! In military circles the belief was
expressed that the Germans were us
ing two long distance guns. The
Matin says tho position of one of the
guns was established in the St. Go
balm forest, which would place it
somewhat further south than had
been believed in the wooded area.
This position would be about 70 miles
from Paris. ~,

| The government has decided that in
the future the bombardmcnt Of Paris
by long distance guns shall not inter-
rupt- the normal life Of the capital,
but that the population shall be warn
ed of bombardmem by distinctive
means, differing from the usual warm
ings sent out in cases Of air raids.
Drums will be beaten and the police
will sound whistles.
The newspapers do not conceal thel:
admiration for the mechanical feat OF
the Germans in constructing their
new weapon, but speak passionately
of the useless barbarity Of the bam-
bardment. The Matin says it, is con-
selling to note that the number OF vic

army, although they had been warned
that this would be a natural develop
nlent Of great battle. Hence, the bull
letins caused general depression. To-
ward night it became known that the
official view of the situation did not
warrant such dependency.
The loss Of guns was regarded as
inevitable, but the British casualties
were understood to be relatively
small, considering the magnitude of the
operation, SO tar as. the reports gave
them. The participation OF American
soldiers in the battle was one OF the
llCst discussed features. Officials OF
the American embassy were asked for
details, but they have none as yet.
