Women who neglected to register
for war service will be given one
more opportunity, Mrs. Paul Ross, in
charge of the county registration, an
nounced Saturday.
Owing to the bad weather and the
fact that this is particularly busy
season for housewives, Mrs. Ross be-
lieves that there are number OF
Richmond women who have not yet
registered and for that reason one
more day has been added to registra-
ton week The registration booths
will be opened Monday afternoon
from l to o'clock, and after that
there will be no further opportunity
to register The booths will also be
open Saturday night.
The number of women registering
has been much larger than was ex-
pected, Mrs. Ross said Saturday. 1t
is believed that when complete re-
port is received from the rural dis
tricts that a great per cent OF the
women of Wayne county will have
been shown to be registered for war
work
A. report from Perry township re.
ceived Saturday morning stated that
the registration in that county had
been completed and that 240 women
had signed for war service. The reg.

Three MEATLESS
DAYS weekly FOR
FRENCH PEOPLE
Feeding of Part Of United
States Army Causes Supply
to Dwindle.

PARIS. April 27.-The introduction
OF system Of three meatless days .
week Is announced In an official note
1t Is explained that the gradually
dvindling reserves Of frozen meat, the
necessity Of feeding part OF the Amer
lean army and occasionally Of supply
ing the wants of other allies, force the
government to draw more and more on
French cattle stocks.
interruptions Intermediates operat-
Ing In local markets, it says, have
taken advantage of these circum-
stances to run up prices with the re-
suit that the raisers keep back the best
animals from the requisition officers
This process has a double effect in
that 1t makes it difficult to feed the
army and sends up out of all bounds
the price Of meat for civilians.
These spectators, some of whom
realize . profit of 900 francs on one
steer, according to the statement will
be prosecuted vigorously In addition,
the government will seek to encourage
raisers by increasing the requisiuon-
ing prices and in paying additional
hounties on animals fattened for mar
ket. In departments where the proper
proportion of cattle for the army is not
forthcoming the shipment of cattle
will be stopped until it is.
II these measures do not have the
desired effect, the statement concludes
others will be introduced. With that
end in view, a committee of experts
has gone to England to study the
workings Of the cattle system there.

LONG RANCE Gun
EULOCIzED BY
GERMAN PRESS
Marks Greatest Progress in
Development of Firearms,
Huns Claim.
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, April 27.-The Ger
man people are informed that the
long range guns now bombarding
Paris marks the greatest progress in
the development of fire arms since
the invention of powder" in eulo-
CYSTIC article sent out by the semi
official Wolff bureau and published
in the German newspapers under a
Berlin date on March %. The Violin
dispatch follows:
''In vain our enemies are racking
their brains to solve the secret OF
our giant cannon with which we are
bombarding Paris. They believe they
have found the solution In an Aus
trian long barrel cannon.
''In view of these reports it must
be stated that for this latest war
weapon which, with it's long range and
accuracy of aim, represents the great
est progress in the development of
flre arms since the invention of pow
der, we have to thank solely German
science, German technic and German
industry"
The Cologne Gazette, of March 81
a copy of which has been received
here in an article headed, THE 800
kilemetre cannon" says:
The 42-centimetre mortars in Aug
ust, 1914, smashed foftresses whieh,
up until then, had been considered as
modern and impregnable. At that
moment, there began new period
of the construction of fortresses.
"The 31st of March, 1918. brought
the technical wonder of the 120-kilo
metre cannon and with it the begin.
ming of a new era in the history OF
the construction of cannon. which
however, may be of far greater i'm
portance on the course Of the war
and perhaps, for peace than the AZ
centimetre mortars.
NOW that the possibility Of such
technical achievement has been de-
monstrated, there will not be much
to prevent the great belligerent ma
tons from manufacturing such can
non. OF course, such giant cannon
will be the exception in artilltry
equipment, for they are expensive
heavy and probably may be used onl,
for a limited number of shots.
