:'Organize America" is Plea of
Editorial Addressed TO Wilson

Under the caption ITO the Presi-
dent" the Chicago Tribune editorially
today says:
The lesson of the German drive is
organization. No one can impeach the
valor of the British soldier. There was
no German propaganda at work back
of the British lines. The preponder-
ance of numbers thrown upon the Brit
ish front does not alone account for
German success. The key OF victory
is organization.
This is a war of organized might. a
war of machinery, war OF prepara-
ton. No nation can WELD its full
strength save by the most far reach
ing and thorough preparation.
It is worse than futile to rely now
upon the elevation of our principles,
our purity of motives, our designs for
the federation of nations, our appeals
for universal peace founded upon law
and transcendental justice.
Germany relies upon force. Her will
to conquer and to rule will surely pre-
vail unless we oppose force with force.
The answer to her cannon is our can

hours which may lead to a betterment
of the position of the armies which

some 40 divisions from. the reserves
had been put in.
A heavy German attack Yesterday
about Ervillers was completely smash

Fight Along Whole Front
The fighting continued with more
or less intensity along the whole
front. Heavy fighting occurred about
Grecillers, and a desperate conflict
was waged in the vicinity of Nesle
which the Germans now hold.
The enemy also attacked strongly

with strenuous resistance which ap

FRENCH FEEL
CONFIDENT OF
HuRl|NC BACK
HUN ADVANCE
Host of Million Germans
Slacken Terrific Attacks
Made with Heavy Loss of
Life.
FIRST RUSH IS Over

FRENCH FRONT IN FRANCE, Mon
day, March 25.-(By The Associated
Press. Entire confidence reigns that
the Germans last trump in the world
battle will be over-trumped when the
proper moment comes.
The allied military authorities were
fully cognizant that the enemy's SUI
preme effort would cause a retreat
until measures could be taken to check
the irruption into the allied positions.
AS always. the attackers possessed
the advantage Of knowing exactly
where they would launch their on
slaught, while the defenders were conf
PEELED to await development of the
battle before meeting the onrush with
counter measures.
Offensive Slackens.
There is every sign in today's situa-
tion that the terrific attack. in which
apparently somewhere in the neighbor-
hood OF one million Germans Of all
arms are engaged. is being slackened.
The resistance of the allies seems
firmer and the arrival on the scene
of French reserves, sent up to the
southern flank, brought welcome sup
port to the British, who sustained the
first powerful rush.
The German divisions, which began
what evidently was intended to be an
irresistible forward movement were so
cut up that they were replaced by
fresh formations. It is these divisions
which have been checked at the
positions on which 1t was foreseen by
the allies general that a stand would
be made.
Territory Devastated.
The ground over which the fighting
has taken place possesses small tact
ical value but it permitted the allies
to retire in perfect order. 1t had been
devastated by the Germans before
they retreated last year and the IN
habitants had not had time or means
to build it up again.
While retiring across what was al
most desert land. the British inflicted
enormous losses on the enemy, who
threw away thousands Of lives in an
effort to overcome the resistance he
encountered.
When the retiring British reached
the Somme and the canal, they turned
about and gave battle, meeting repeat
ed and long endeavors o
both infantry and cavalry
The initial rush of the enemy seem:
to have been stopped Military opin
ion generally is that this first phas'
of the great battle. In which even mor'
troops were employed than in tn,
battle Of the Marne, gives no indica
tion what the result will be. Never
theless. developments are awainted d,

Mystery Cum Employs
New Explosive Gases.
Cannon Experts Believe

GENEVA. Monday. March 25. = Ihe
long range guns bombardins Paris. ac-
cording to d Vienna dispatch received
here are of Austrian manufacture, nav
ing been built at tho Skoda factory.
The gun itself is not new, but its nov
city comes from new type OF shell
and the explosive gases used in the
gun. There are said to be only two
or three of these guns.
LONDON. March 26.-In the 'mys-
terry gun" the name generally given to
the weapon with which the Germans
are bombarding Paris fbm distance
estimated at 10 miles. it is frankly
conceded by experts. the enemy has
sprung one or the greatest surprises
of the war.
General Sir Desmond O'Callaghan,
formerly president Of the army ord
nance committee, says of the German
gun:
The projectiles must have been
fired from longer and heavier guns
and with more powerful propellant
than we have any knowledge Of
From Paris has come the suggestion
that the extraordinary range of the
gun is due to the projectile being pro-
vided with a second charge which eX-
plcdes when the first stage of the
fight is completed, giving it a fresh
impetus. This theory is secuted by
General O'Callaghan.
WASHINGTON. March 26. - The
German mystery gun was first identi-
fed as probably being an Austrian
Skoda, in Associated Press dispatches
from Washington last Saturday.
Ordnance experts of the allied mis-
sions. on reading Of the long range
bomhardment of Paris, declared that
if the shells actually were being
thrown by a gun, it undoubtedly was
the Skoda, as that was the only gun
they knew of, susceptible to such long
range development. They did not con
slider, however the possibility of the
shells being thrown such an unheard
of distance by a new gas.

DOWN PLANE WITH RIFLE
Described by American
Newspaper Man.

! Atlanta, Ga.-How a German air
plane was brought down by squad of
American infantrymen armed only
with rifles is graphically described in
a letter from Harl H. Coffee, we'll
known to newspaper men of the South
through his former connection with the
Western Newspaper Union, and who
is now serving in France with the
Eighty-ninth division.
"A small squad Of American soldiers,
among them Mr.. Coffee, was resting
by the side of road, when German
plane, flying very low, passed over and
began dropping hand grenades. The
Americans opened fire with their rifles
and chance shot struck the pilot in
the head, killing him instantly and
bringing the machine to the ground
with a crash. This is the first instance
reported where an airplane has been
brought down with rifles, and it is not
likely to be duplicated again unless
some exceptionally good marksman
gets chance shot home.
