CONSIDERING GUN WITH
 RANGE OF 1o5 MILES
Plans Submitted to Secretary Daniels
 by Naval Ordnance Experts.

Washington, April 1.-P1ans for a super a great gun of long range, possibly similar to the one with which the Germans have been bonn barding Paris have been submitted to Secretary Daniels by naval ordnance experts after months of experiment. It is understood, however, that the report includes a statement that the ordnance officers do not believe the military value of such a weapon would compensate for the time and money which must be spent in per fecting and developing it.
 American ordnance officers have been interested in the possibilities of long range guns for the past ten years. The belief that the game was not worth the candle" as one officer expressed it today, prevented rapid progress, but experiments were not dropped and, since the entrance of the United States into the war, added interest had been evidenced in the navy department Reports were heard in some quarters today that range of 1e5 miles was expected of the gun now under consideration.

ITALIANS IN DANGER OF
 ATTACK BY AUsTRiANs
Forty Divisions of the Enemy Now
 Along the Battle Lines.


 Washington, April 1. - Imminent danger of an attack by the Austrians iI great force upon the Italian lines was emphasized today at the Italian embassy. Recently the embassy pub lished statement that no less than forty divisions had been gathered by the enemy along the battle lines, and now Information comes that these troops have received the essentials of food; artillery and munitions for which they have been waiting.
 Recalling the incredulity with which the Italian advance warnings of the tremendous onslaught of the combined Austrian and German armies on the Isonzo last year were received by the allies the Italian military authorities now are said to earnestly hope that attention will be paid to the danger which again impends. @
 The war departments weekly mill tary review referred today to the probability that, failing to break through the combined British. French and American forces on the west front where they are now attacking, the German general staff will direct it's efforts at another point and The Ital- ian military men are confident that the Italian line in the neighborhood of Lake Garda will be the selected. point.
 6reseia the Objective of Austrians The immediate objective of the Aus trians is expected to be the city of Brescia on the east of the lake and another attack may be directed on the west with the purpose of breaking in to Lombardy. The principal Italian munitions and army supply factories l o fod in a1aax. and besides securing these, the Aus trians might put themselves in posi- ton to swing their forces northward into France, reinforcing the Germans from the south against the French right wing. Great quantities of sup plies have come to the Austrian army from Russia, according to despatches to the embassy. The Germans re- gently announced that they had fore gone claiming the rich stores of food in the Russian Ukraine country in or der to meet the more pressing nee6 of the Austrians. On the other hand the Italians are said to be in desperate need of food. It is known that only about third of the Italians army of 00G,Oo0 men is now being main 1 tained on. the battle lines and the off cisl explanation is that there is nc food and net enough guns and ann intuition for the remainder.
 The British and French troops sent to Italy to cbsck the Austro German advance last fali are still in northern Italy and it is said that instead O having them withdrawn to meet thu pressing need for man power 1T France, the Italian general staff de- sires to send Italian troops to joir the British, French and Americans 1T that quarter. trusting to the allies ! superior commissarist to feed them
