Geneva, Switzerland, April 1.-The
long range guns bombarding Paris,
according to a Vienna dispatch re-
ceived here, are of Austrian manu-
facture, having been built at the
Skoda factory. The gun itself is not
new, but it's novelty comes from new
type of shell and the explosive gases
used in the gun. There are said to
be only two or three of the guns.

surprises of the war. General Sir
Desmond O'Callaghan, formerly presi-

The projectiles must have been
fired from longer and heavier guns
and with a more powerful propellant
than we have knowledge off,
From Paris has come the suggestion
that the extraordinary range of the
gun is due to the projectiles being
provided with a second charge which
explodes when the first stage of the
flight is completed, giving it a fresh

variant of it that the projectile is
fitted with a propeller enabling it to
continue it's journey when it is not

from the gun.

O'Callaghan, THAT a new departure
in ballisticS can alone explain the

THE NEXT GENERATON
BY FL. ADDINGTON BRUCE

He still was a young man, but he
looked haggard and old in the clear
light of his sun-fooded lfvfng-room.
All about him were evidences OF
wealth and culture. His rowing, rest
less gaze swept swiftly over the
books and art treasures with which
the room was filled.
A moment more and an expression
of infinite sadness came into his eyes.
He was looking now at the figure of
a small boy, his only child, who stood
at a window watching some spring
birds fitting among the branches of
q nearby tree.
The boy, as though sensing that his
fathers gaze had focused on him,
turned uneasily toward the desk at
which his father was seated. His
face was strangely impassive, fiat,
dull, almost wooden.
TITS all right. Jack, it's all right"
the father forced a smile. But be-
meath the desk his hands trembled.
He knew it was not all right, and
that it never would be all right.
Staring up at him, from the ma
hogany surface of the desk, was a
sheet of typewriter paper. 1t had
come to him a scant hour earlier, and
was the report of famous specialist
In children's diseases. 1t begins:
"I regret to have to inform you
that your son is subnormal mentally.
For various reasons l fear it will be
impossible to effect any appreciable
improvement in his mental condi-

Then followed sundry medical
phrases, which brought back to the
Borrowing father a vivid memory
picture of an episode of ten years
before.
He was not married at that time.
Like many another young man he had
been seeing life" in a wild. undis-
ciplined fashion. And one day he

him.

ProjectileS Used to Send
Dispatches Through Barrage

Projectiles are now being used for
the transmission of urgent orders to
troops in the front line trenches and
also for sending important informa-
ton to the rear in France. This new
scheme of communication was adopt
ed because of the destruction of tele-
phone wires and laying down of cur
tains OF fire through which dispatch
bearers could not ride.
The officers in the front fine
trenches frequently come into pos
session of valuable Information
which should be rushed to headquar-
tiers. Barrage fire, however, fire.
quently separates the men in the
trenches from headquarters. 1t fire.
quently happened that the command
ing officer at headquarters wanted to
communicate with officers in the
trenches, but was unable to do so
because no human being could live in
the barrage fire and telephone wires
were out of commission.
The new system of communication
consists of shooting a projectile from
a trench mortar. A box containing
written information or new orders is
placed in a cylinder about fifteen
inches in length and an inch and a
quarter in diameter. The cylinder
and message box are put into a gre
made thrower, which launches it like
an aerial torpedo and speeds it to
headquarters or the front line
trenches
