BIC Gun AGAIN
Bombards Paris on
Easter Sunday
NO UnexpIoded She'll Vet Found but

Opinion They Are Of 8I4-ineh Size
and That Double Fuse Is Used

GAdItiiHeO Lead to
Opinion They Are Of 8L4 inch Size
and That a Double Fuse Is Used
Paris, March 31.-The lombard
ment OF Paris by long range German
guns was resumed at 2.15 p. NJ. to-
day.
NO unexploded shell from a gun
bombarding Paris has thus far been
found. However, there have been
examined in the munition laboratory,
fragments of sufficient size to per
mt the directors to reach certain
conclusions. They are Of the opinion
| that double fuse is used and that
the guns fire IA inch shells.
Apparently four guns are being
used, two on each alternate DAYS. The
tubes Of the guns. which are rife
guns, are more than so long.
The installation and adjustment, of
the guns must require at least three
months. Doubtless they are con-
cealed under mountains of cement
rendering it most difficult to destroy
them.
At the services this morning the
churches We're even more crowded
than is usual on Easter Sunday.
An official note issued tonight says:
The German long range cannon

was killed and one injured"
Geneva, Switzerland, March 30
Lieut.. General Won Rohne a German
authority on ordnance and inspector
Of artillery, gives in a magazine ad
dltIonal details in regard to the long
distance German guns with which
Paris is being bombarded. He says
they are 90 metres Cos feet) long
| The empty shell weighs $50 Kilograms
1880 pounds) and the charge weighs
the same. The projectile attains a
height of 80 kilometres GS.6 miles,
and descends from the sky like a me
teOr.
Gen. Rohne says it requires about
three minutes for the shell to reach
its destination. The greatest diff
Guilty in the way of increasing the
| range was overcome by sending the
projectile high enough to reach the
rarified air.
1t appears the Germans are ex-
tremely proud of the bombardment OF
Paris.

At The Republic Tonight.

Some of the unusual scenes in the
Metro picutre, "The Brass Check" CO.
starring Francis y. Busmman and
Beverly Bayne. which will be seen at

ton of George Tllen England's All

him a hopeless case and Richard
makes a face at him.
How Richard finally manages to es-
cane the control of the asylum at
tendants and the reason for his being
in that vicinity is revealed on the
screen.

You have heard of glimmerings of
William Fox's great picutre, "A
Daughter of the Gods" since warm
weather, and your imaginations have
been workig overtime trying to con-
lecture some ideas as to what the pic
ture would be like. You have seen
pictures as vast in scope, but nothing
so fairylike in detail.
Any one who is not willing to adj
nit that "A Daughter of the Gods" is
one of the finest things yet produced
is not fit to criticise motion picture
work as a fine art
To detail the happenings of this film
would be like attempting to ford Nj
agara on horseback, but to see it in all
its beauty of technique, vastness of
scope and tenderness OF imaginative
appeal Is to enjoy one of the most
wonderful treats that this season has

ATTRACTION AT THE
COLONIAL TOMORROW.

A powerful and tense perturbation
of Anthony p. Kelly's famous novel
THE Bar Sinister" will be the ex-
tremely pleasing attraction at the Co
lonial tomorrow evening. THE Bar
Sinister is a photo production that is
unusual in every respect. 1t tells a
big story in a big way, that of race
distoinction. This is strikingly borne
out in the plot. A highly bred South
ern girl abducted in childhood by a
poor, crazed negress, grows up in the
jungle into a flower of rare sweetness.
The story of the young Mortimer who
learns to love her, and the struggle
for her possession is most thrilling

+ < x Two Rivers Whose Fame Will Endure

1.-TWO insignificant streams have
 U been given fame by the war the Marne in France and the Piave in Italy. It is probable that students of geography were baffled in their at tempts to learn something about the Piave, for reference works contain lit tie or no reference to this now historic stream. It is not important commcr- cially and until the Hun attempted to overrun Italy, it had never won place in the glorious annals of that country.
 A scant 125 miles long, the Piave flows from the Carnic Alps into the Adriatic, 22 miles northeast of Venice. Most of its course lies through pie turesque mountain region, known to tourists the world over, the Dolomites and the Venetian Alps. There are only two towns of any size on the Piave and both have populations under 10000.
 There may be another onrush of Teuton armies against the Italian forces and the fortunes of war may even bring defeat to the Italians along the Piave, as they suffered once be- fore, but enough has already happened on the banks of this stream to make it immortal, just as the Marne will be for all time sacred to Frenchmen and democratic peoples everywhere who witnessed on it's banks the most heroic defense of human rights and liberty this world has ever seen.

x $ # Continued Interest In War Savings

MM1ANY counties of Alabama have 0V4 made splendid records in the War Savings Stamp campaign, and not one of those reporting has failed to make creditable showing.
 The fact that rural communities are rolling up large totals is evidence not only of 100 per cent patriotism, but of great material prosperity. Counties that were in a distressed condition two years ago on account of floods and consequent crop failure are thriv- ing now as never before.
 This years unprecedented produc- tion is reflected in liberal investments in Liberty Loans and Baby Bonds and this phase of the War Savings cam paign, combined with the spirit of sac rifice on the part of the people, makes over-the-top achievement easy.
 Additional pledge cards are in demand. The War Savings Stamps are becoming more popular every day.
 Alabama will raise its War Savings quota, and from the present outlook it would not be surprising if the quota is considerably exceeded.
