New York, March 3O.-"The Ger
man gun. which has been bombarding
Paris may do for killing women and
children at long distance, but I doubt
it's military value"
Charles M. Schwab, president of the
Bethlehem Steel Company, said this
Thursday night. He continued:
"We could make such a gun easily.
It might be made practicable for GER
tain distances, but / still believe it to
be of little military use for 60, up 100
miles. The projectiles are of necessity
Of comparatively small caliber to in
SIRE landing at such a distance.
"Then, too, there is small guarantee
of accuracy. Though it is reported
that this gun has been Smelling Paris
for several days, we have heard of no
great loss of life or any considerable
damage to property.
"The Germans plan to. lombard
London with, the same kind of a gun,
we read. I believe.thatfar more DAM
age could be produced by aeroplanes
than through guns of. the character
described as shelling Paris. As I have
said, we can easily make these guns,
but they are cumbersome.
i "They must of necessity be station
airy, and they are very costly, both in
manufacture and in: the quality and
quantity of ammunition they demand.
They lack accuracy. Ii;
"There is under construction air
American gun which shoots 16-inch

we are building for coast defense at
Sandy Hook. (.
Though it is difficult to see an OBJ

built will, however, be sufficient for all
that is required of it, and that is 10

feats News Scheme for Universal

Prompted by the necessity OF adding
Immediately 100000 men to the ma
tional army, the Senate yesterday
passed by unanimous vote the Cham
be: lain draft resolution after & the
amendment proposed by Senator New

Fear that the operation Of the draft
would be retarded by the universal

of the New amendment. The vote
was 26 to sc. Many of those who
voted against it, however, declared
themselves in favor CT the principle
of universal service. They urged the
Introduction. of a universal training

is done the chances are that 1t Will

A statement to the effect that the Remington Arms and Ammunition plant was ro be turned over to the manufacture of cash registers has been circulated about the city today.
 When D. B. Gauchet, general man. ager of the plant, was approached on the subject, he saf1, "I have nothing to say about the method of procedure of the company in regard to after the war industry. We are still employing our full force on war work but at re- duced hours. What the officials of the company will decide to do when work on our present contracts Is fin ished, cannot say"

The company will un- doubtedly decide upon the manufac- ture of some articles as scon as pos sible, but as to whether cash registers will be made, I am not prepared to say For over two years the matter has been considered in the experi- mental l')ons, but we are not ready to announce a decision"

They have been more than circumspect and their reiteration that they propose to convene the national assembly is interpreted to mean that they do not propose to offer affront to the middle classes or place the transitional development in jeopar- dy.
 During the week no serious fr1c- ton in the cabinets deliberations has been reported, although the left wing has not declared for an early con- vening of the national assembly. It desires to exploit the interim in for tifying proletarian rule. Ebert and Scheidemann, on the other hand, are contented to rest their cause in the elections.
 The coming week will bring the middle class parties into belated ac- ton. The merger of the National Liberals and the progressives virtu- ally has been effected. Leading men and women all over the country is- sued a stirring call for the founding of a new democratic party today. The appointment of Karl Kautsky and Ed ward Bernstein as under secretaries of foreign affairs and finance brings two of the best known theorists into the Soldiers and Workmen's govern ment.
 Responsibility for the disorders in the first days of the revolution rest on the Spartacus group in which Liebknecht and Rosa Luxembourg carry little of the influence they held at first. Soldiers and sailors are ready to suppress any plot against the government and are insistent in their demands for partisan politics and for converting the national society at which the greater German republic will receive its baptism.

The transfer was without demonstration. The German crews sullenly. obeyed or ders and tonight the U-boats lie moored under the British flag near a British submarine base.
 During the surrender American seaplanes flew low overhead, while American submarine chasers car ried British crews to the undersea boats
 From the time the leading sub marine was sighted by the British squadron of light cruisers and de stroyers, there was no communica- ton with the Germans. except once. when they complained of the speed and saying the weaker ones were un- able to keep up.
 Slower, my last boats cannot keep up this speed" was the wireless i message from a German command CT.
 The scene that began about sun rise when che first sub was sighted
 until late this evening, when the last i one was rounded up, might have ] easily been mistaken for fleet 1 manouvres. There were few signs o1
 the mornentous significance of it all l They appeared a sullen, but well fel | lot when the first British officer step | ped aboard and curtly saluted.

 The Germans anchored near the rendezvous last night and appeared at the appointed place promptly. The British ships, with their crews at quarters and every gun manned, took precautions that nothing Nntoward occurred. One of the eighteen British destroyers In the fleet took position ahead of the German transports accompanying the submar- ines. Other destroyers steamed along on each side when the column start ed toward Harwich.
 The column was divided into five divisions. In addition to the sea ! planes that swooped low above the enemy craft, dirigibles accompanied the feete and an observation balloon which was anchored to cruiser, kept vigil.
 Ten miles from Harwich the fleet was met by more British destroyers, which carried crews from British submarines. These men were di- vided in parties of 14 for each Ger man boat, and each was transferred by American submarine chasers to the U-boats, where a British officer | quickly took charge.
